It’s tough to say which is worse, having to sit through The Wicker Man, Lord of War and the most recent National Treasure sequel or the fact that after all those cinematic masterpieces, the IRS is still waiting for a check for over $6 million from Nicolas Cage. Back in 2007, the never monotone Cage was basking in the glow of starring or appearing in four movies that robbed millions of people of several hours of their life they’ll never get back again. But people could take at least some comfort that, in the end, the IRS would make NC pay for what he had done. Or so they thought.
Cage made his tax evading debut back in 2002 and followed that effort with strong showings through 2004. However, he saved his Oscar-worthy tax evasion performance of a lifetime for 2007 when he decided not to pay the $6.25 million due to the IRS. With the tax man now looking for a total of $6.6 million, it looks like Cage’s future movie income will be gone in 60 seconds.

Come to think of it I have never seen Nicholas Cage and Method Man in the same room.
Oh my god Greg, you were fine until after the jump. Why did you make me click to read that?
Fool me once…
Oh Gregory…..
First off, Lord of War was a great movie. It was nothing like Wicker Park or his other shit. Second, that gone in 60 seconds analogy is so bad that I’d rather look like Charlie Gasparino’s retarded sister than repeat it out loud.
Pot, meet Kettle.
I fixed this for you, though I left the sentence construction intact:
“It’s tough to say which is worse, having to sit through “Mortgage Modification Program Will Succeed One Way Or Another”, “Experts Weigh In On Whether Or Not The FHA Is Actually In The Express Lane To A Bailout” and the most recent “FSA Says Its Time To Pay” or the fact that after all those journalistic masterpieces, Jeff Macke is still waiting for a check for over $60 from Greg Michaels. Back in 2009, the never monotone Michaels was basking in the glow of writing or copy/pasting several blog posts that robbed millions of people of several hours of their life they’ll never get back again…..”
Greg, seriously – Stop shooting down talent coz god knows that u dont have an ounce worth of it. Lord of War was a decent flick and he has kicked some serious ass in a few films. Not getting touchy here, but I just fking hate it when when muppets without any credibility in them tear down others. Get f*cked. It would be a diff story if Bess was doing the talking.

Good use of pictures this time…That mustache is priceless
Greg, Don’t listen to the haters. I think you have a great sense of humor and insight.

“…robbed millions of people of several hours of their life they’ll never get back again”
You see the irony in that, Greg?
Good read regarding the liens on his two houses in New Orleans.

This man is a true patriot. Taxation is theft!

Worst movie of all time…
Greg,
I am going to you bleach my teeth and anus.

@14/NC no wonder you have tax problems. You can’t even construct a sentence.
@14 – Mr. Cage, did you just have a stroke?
Guess that’s why he sold the castle in germany (or wherever), maybe he’ll have to part with his yacht, Sea Ghost, too, all because he banked with UBS (who, lest I forget, sucks).
His mustache does tickle, but only at first.

Or he could just take a job in BHO’s cabinet.
Timmay could use some help I hear.
Greg,
If you ever speak negatively about the movie Lord of War again, I will unchain Macke from his computer desk and all those things he writes to you will truly happen!
Have a nice weekend!

Lord of War was an awesome movie.

@19:
I think that’s an excellent suggestion. An actor could help Tim, and also help BHO with his “re-imagination.”

@22:
You have a good “reimagination.”
I know Obama’s moon mission this morning was a success, but has Obama made an announcement yet on whether he has discovered water there?
@26 No, but he struck black gold drilling in Timmy’s *ss.
@ 26
BIG SURPRISE: What they actually discovered in the MOON by crashing the empty satellite probe was….

There was also the oddly out of place corpse of an Orca that NASA scientists weren’t sure what to make of.

You’re trying waaaaaay too hard.
Lord of War rocked. Best intro sequence in a movie ever.

Greg,
I’m going to make set your computer’s date back by 6 months. This will make your browser show you all your old posts as unread forcing you to read them and recognize the irony in demanding time back from Nick Cage.

@4 Lord of War was a great movie.
