What does Pynchon have to do with a really bad actor who does the same Elvis impression in every film he's in?

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.
