Similar characters, some of the same actors, etc. He pointed out that both have almost the exact same fight scene with John Goodman. Has anyone ever noticed this?!abbynormalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00387625999075371677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1113767935196076705.post-59287736153637482009-10-21T08:48:53.931-06:002009-10-21T08:48:53.931-06:00crystal, if you have met THE nicholas cage, that p...crystal, if you have met THE nicholas cage, that pretty much makes you an icon in the family. debbyDavid and Debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18397313447137818213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1113767935196076705.post-43456519590163595672009-10-20T19:41:43.379-06:002009-10-20T19:41:43.379-06:00I meant to clarify too:

I think it is because when I watched it (no older than 12), I felt sad for the kidnapped baby, sad for the childless parents, sad for the poverty, sad for the dysfunctional family... just sad. <br /><br />It was the same way with Napoleon Dynamite. Having been the kid everyone picked on, I really did not like that movie at all- except the dancing scene- we watched it after institute one night and I was soooooo bothered by it. It felt just awful to me. Anyway, I know I am not the norm. <br /><br />I do love Nicholas Cage though. It used to be a given that if he was in a movie, it was going to be a good one, in my opinion...<br /><br />I actually met him at the UVa Film Festival "Wet" a couple years ago. He is quiet, very tall and then he was extremely skinny.Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15260117428119041785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1113767935196076705.post-10249278132472994392009-10-20T19:12:51.925-06:002009-10-20T19:12:51.925-06:00I did not know that Matt had such a love for that ...I did not know that Matt had such a love for that movie, actually. We definitely have not watched it together, nor have we discussed it. I am not opposed to it being watched by Asher, but I will definitely not be part of it, I am (that kind of) humor impaired, sadly and I would definitely not be as amused.Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15260117428119041785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1113767935196076705.post-82780372239535369282009-10-20T18:28:07.889-06:002009-10-20T18:28:07.889-06:00I thought the same thing about the Chinese!

Maybe one day we can have a movie night and I'll find out.abbynormalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00387625999075371677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1113767935196076705.post-27657060231034255742009-10-20T14:50:14.627-06:002009-10-20T14:50:14.627-06:00I like how the translation only applies to the con...I like how the translation only applies to the conversation, not the song lyrics.

It will be interesting to see if Asher get's a kick out of it down the road.<br /><br />I mean, how can anyone listen to those lyrics, especially with subtitles, and not find it funny? It's just so random and twisted that it can't help but be funny.<br /><br />What's even funnier is that some of the subtitles were in Chinese. I just got a picture in my head of a bunch of Chinese people sitting in a dark theater, watching Raising Arizona. Now that's funny!<br />DadDavid and Debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18397313447137818213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1113767935196076705.post-78283190418708580452009-10-19T19:52:32.651-06:002009-10-19T19:52:32.651-06:00Ugh, my least-favorite Nicholas Cage movie ever. ...Ugh, my least-favorite Nicholas Cage movie ever. My family thought is was just hilarious when we rented it on VCR tape about 15 years ago, I just rolled my eyes then and now.
