Crazy Actors Christian Bale And Nicholas Cage To Play Crazy Inventors Nikola Tesla And Thomas Edison

[Madeleine Maudlin]

I am absolutely, totally fuckin shocked that you, Laura, who I've always
had the greatest admiration for, would publickly denounce one of the
greatest gifts to American screen of his generation, the immortal Nicholas
Cage.   Don't get me wrong, Bale's a good actor, Cage is a greater actor,
one of the greatest.  It goes Brando, then...then...well I won't get into
listing it would take all morning, but Bale's way fucking lower than Cage,
because Cage is *way high*, up there.

And *Maligned*, saying Cage is unwatchable?  Calls herself Maligned, but
cannot watch he who is most-maligned?  Especially for a Pychonhead.  Cage
was custom built for Pynchonland.  To diss him on a Pynchonboard is
unconscionable, if that's a word, I'm not getting redlined so I feel good
about it.
