Nicolas Cage

[(Anonymous)]

1) Has Nicolas Cage ever played queer?

2) What Nicolas Cage performance is the least masculine, or what are some notably non-masc Nicolas Cage roles?

Re: Nicolas Cage

[(Anonymous)]

IDK if he's ever played gay but maybe Weatherman or City of Angels for least traditionally masculine roles.

Re: Nicolas Cage

[(Anonymous)]

I haven't seen Weather Man, but even if his performance isn't as masculine as in some others, it seems like his character is still defined through insanely masculine things - specifically, particularly masculine anxieties over living up to his father, and about his competence as a father / lover / career man.

Which is one of the things I was thinking about that gave rise to this question - how often Nicolas Cage's characters are in those kinds of positions, where he's defined around trying to prove that he can be a good parent and win back an estranged female romantic partner and stuff. It is weirdly common in his movies.

(SA as above)

City of Angels is a good shout though, I'll have to think about that one

Re: Nicolas Cage

[(Anonymous)]

1. I don't think so.
2. I am going to say Raising Arizona's character.

Re: Nicolas Cage

[(Anonymous)]

I think I really should have elaborated on what I meant by masculine. That's on me.

His character in Raising Arizona is definitely comedic and goofy, so not masculine in that sense, but also the character is still pretty tied up with family and fatherhood, so.

NAYRT
Def should have clarified. Because, the word "father" aside, I don't see what's inherently masculine about being tied up in family and parenthood.

Re: Nicolas Cage

[(Anonymous)]

1) I don't think so but I might be wrong. I avoid his movies.
2) His role in The Rock us more of a nerdy science guy.

Re: Nicolas Cage

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah but the movie is also about winners going home to fuck the prom queen, and Nicolas Cage proving he's man enough to be a father. So he's a little nerdy but.

I really do appreciate these responses, though! Thank you guys.

Re: Nicolas Cage

[(Anonymous)]

You seem to have some very specific ideas about what "masculine" means that are mostly, but not entirely, focused around fatherhood. If you clarify those a bit, you might get better responses.

Re: Nicolas Cage

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think Nic Cage has ever played queer. I also don't think that queer and masculine are mutually exclusive, so I'm really confused by what you're looking for.

If you're just looking for something other than "get the girl/save the world" roles, then maybe Al in "Birdy" or Doug in "Guarding Tess?"

Re: Nicolas Cage

[(Anonymous)]

Guarding Tessa is still a pretty masculine role ("save the old lady", too) just not in the weird fatherhood-specific way OP wants.

Re: Nicolas Cage

[(Anonymous)]

It's not about saving the old lady, though. It's about reluctantly bonding with the old lady. For most of the movie he's either in a sort-of caretaker role or else losing battles of will with the old lady.

Where do the cool fandom parents hang out?

[(Anonymous)]

My sister, with husband and 2-year old son, just moved in with me. I like the kid, and he's really into some Nick Jr shows, namely Paw Patrol, Blaze and the Monster Machines, and Umi Zoomi.

I'm no longer an angsty teen, so where do the adults who watch these things with their kids hang out to look at them from an adult perspective? Nothing overly negative, just people who need to maintain their sanity.

Re: Where do the cool fandom parents hang out?

[(Anonymous)]

Mostly Twitter or Facebook, I'd imagine.

Not in a traditional fandom-y sense, more in a talking about parenting and stuff with other sane fandom-y parents. That's a huge thing among the older people in my Twitter circles.

Re: Where do the cool fandom parents hang out?

[(Anonymous)]

Thanks, but I'm not a parent, either, so I was hoping to avoid all the child-rearing talk. I don't get to decide these things.

Re: Where do the cool fandom parents hang out?

[(Anonymous)]

You might just have to accept that you're in a demographic that doesn't really watch or talk about that stuff outside of the context of their kids.

Where does wind come from?

Re: Random Questions

i am not a climate scientist, but as far as I know, the most significant cause is the cycle of atmospheric and liquid interchange through condensation and evaporation

Bad chili.
