100th Post Extravaganza!!! with special guest writer Nicolas Cage!

Ladies. Gentlemen. Everyone in between. I'm pleased to share this momentous occasion with you. Post-Credit Coda has reached its 100th post! This would have been possible without your continued support, but it would have been much sadder.

No sadness today! Today we celebrate. And what better way to celebrate than to recruit someone more famous than I am to say things about himself? That's right, I reached out to none other than the iconic laconic bubonic Nicolas Cage, and to my adequate surprise he accepted. As such, I've selected what I consider to be Nicolas Cage's Ten Greatest Most Timeless and Everlasting Movie Posters, and requested that he give us a few tidbits about each of these milestones in his storied career.

With Nicolas Cage on the docket, I don't imagine you care to hear any more from me. Before turning it over to the grandmaster of alabaster, I just want to thank you all for sticking with me until this centenary post. You are all a national treasure.

Hello audience, I am Nicolas Cage. You probably know me from my cinema roles such as Sason of the Witch and Top Gun. I get many fans who want me to do things, but it is rare to receive a message from a fan wishing me to discus the ephemera of film culture such as cinema posters, a topic that is admittedly ancilary to what we would normally think of as cinema. My friend Brian here has selected what he believes to be my ten best cinema posters and being impartial from the day I was born, I have no grounds to argue with him upon this. I will merely act as a historical beacon in this retrospect, making quantitative rather than qualtative commentary.

At any rate I thought Brian had an easy task because I've only been in a couple dozen pieces of cinema or so, but Brian informs me that I have in actuality acted in over seventy five pieces of cinema. This shocks me but it points to a God's Honest Truth: time flies when you're having fun.

I have informed Brian that I don't know how it works here in Post Credit Coder but in my life I cannot rank any aspect of my own cinema, so I choose not to rank these posters. I have asked him and Brian is kind enoguh to let me speak of them in alphabetical order. This pleases me as the alphabet is the great universal equalizer.

LEFT BEHIND: An Open Letter


Director: Vic Armstrong
Writers: Paul Lalonde, John Patus
Cast: Nicolas Cage
Runtime: 110 mins.
2014

Dear Nicolas Cage,

I write to you as a longtime examiner of your livelihood. I currently hold the unique position of one who has seen your most recent attempt to shrug off crushing debt, Left Behind. I found it mostly to be a movie. That being said, I have a few questions that I believe you, and only you, Nicolas Cage, can answer.

I want to start with something real. Are you a religious man? I know that you were raised Catholic and that you staunchly refuse to comment upon your faith in interviews. I know your brother is a Christian pastor. But what about you? In interviews you suggest that taking this role was not just about the money, that you connected with the script and its themes. If that is really true, why do you sleepwalk through this movie like it's a PSA for fire safety? You're more invested in this library poster.
