Nic Cage's Hair by Internet Thug	Nov 2nd, 2007 09:48:02 AM
Has been a bigger character in his last 6 or so movies than he is..he really needs to do a Willis and shear that shit the fuck off the wigs and dye jobs and straw mullets and shit he has thenm make to make it look like he isn't fucking bald are so distracting they pull you right out of the movie and you sit in the dark afraid that the fucking thing is going to crawl off his head and strangle you while you sleep.
Am I the only one who liked Sahara better than National Treasure by googamooga	Nov 2nd, 2007 09:58:43 AM
Am I? Maybe McConaughey is just a better actor? Steve Zahn is definitely a better, and funnier, sidekick than Justin Bartha.

How much more treasurier is the treasure this time?! by Judge Dredds Dirty Undies	Nov 2nd, 2007 10:05:54 AM
The treasuriest treasure yet!
Damn you, Clive Cussler by RogueWarrior65	Nov 2nd, 2007 10:06:45 AM
Talk about Prima Donnas. Jeez. Clive Cussler was sitting on a film gold mine and IMHO, the choice of actors in Sahara was excellent. But then Clive I-insert-myself-into-every-boo k Cussler had to go all whiney on Hollywood. Yo, Clive, pull your head out of your ass so we can get some more cool action-adventure material.

Cages hairpiece was responsible for Ghost Riders entire gross by Judge Dredds Dirty Undies	Nov 2nd, 2007 10:08:57 AM
No hair no box office! Accidental double posters suck!

Stupid assed player! by fractureJonze	Nov 2nd, 2007 10:56:22 AM
Why do I have to have to watch my movie advertisements all wrapped in an ad for a television?
by AllPowerfulWizardOfOz	Nov 2nd, 2007 10:56:32 AM

WTF? This site just refreshed and I didn't even hit anything??? by AllPowerfulWizardOfOz	Nov 2nd, 2007 10:57:09 AM

I loved the 1st movie. Total guilty pleasure. by AllPowerfulWizardOfOz	Nov 2nd, 2007 10:58:46 AM
I am not a Nick Cage fan but he was fine for this role and the movie was very enjoyable. I am looking forward to seeing this one.
Loved the first flick by chrth	Nov 2nd, 2007 11:23:16 AM
Hopefully the sequel will be good
Wow by blackshuck	Nov 2nd, 2007 11:31:52 AM
this looks really bad. Oh and George Miller JLA will never get made.
1st one was a lot of fun, start to finish by chromedome	Nov 2nd, 2007 11:33:33 AM
and Cage is perfect for almost any role that calls for slightly (or completely) crazed, hazed, obsessive compulsive behavior. He is half a nut-job already, so he brings a lot to such roles. Fun to watch him "work"
So Nic Cage and Merrick have both uttered the immortal line... by tonagan	Nov 2nd, 2007 11:33:41 AM
"Auggh, my leg!!!" Nic in The Wicker Man, and Merrick when attacked by bees.
Not bees, wasps. Sorry. by tonagan	Nov 2nd, 2007 11:34:27 AM
Macauly Culkin was the one that was attacked by bees, right?
If you didn't like the first film, you're kinda a dick: by newc0253	Nov 2nd, 2007 11:51:22 AM
sorry, but it's true. nobody in their right mind would claim the first film was art but it was the textbook definition of popcorn fun. the only people who didn't enjoy it are those who have had their sense of fun surgically removed.
WHAT ABOUT NEW "BLOOD" TRAILER by wilsonfisk89	Nov 2nd, 2007 11:56:49 AM

The term "Shit Sandwich" comes to mind. by Saracen1	Nov 2nd, 2007 12:14:25 PM
How on earth did Helen Mirren get pulled into this crapfest? Was the held at gunpoint?
http://www.thementernet.com/ by slone13	Nov 2nd, 2007 12:20:35 PM
If I do say so myself...
Glad they're making a sequel to this by SlickyVonBoner	Nov 2nd, 2007 12:21:31 PM
National Treasure was one of those movies that I rented 'cause I was out of movies I wanted to see. Then I was surprised how fun it was. Sahara wasn't bad either.
What you call popcorn fun by jimmay	Nov 2nd, 2007 12:22:46 PM
I call mindless drivel. Tomb Raider + the Rock =crap.
I also enjoyed the first one by ATARI	Nov 2nd, 2007 12:27:40 PM
and I am looking forward to sloppy seconds.
people that hate popcorn flicks by Datascream	Nov 2nd, 2007 12:29:02 PM
go to the movies by themselves ALL the time. Because neither of their friends find them interesting. And they're ugly and their mothers dress them funny.
Loved the first by DeCypher44	Nov 2nd, 2007 12:34:33 PM
and can't wait for this one.
And I can guarantee by DeCypher44	Nov 2nd, 2007 12:38:36 PM
that anyone who uses the word "drivel" is absolutely no fun at parties.
What if I say "drivel" by jimmay	Nov 2nd, 2007 12:43:07 PM
without any pants on?
Well, then by DeCypher44	Nov 2nd, 2007 12:57:56 PM
I would say you are just describing what you see. j/k
Looks like fun by ProoferFromHell	Nov 2nd, 2007 01:01:59 PM
I'll be there. I haven't seen the first one yet, so I'll have to check it out. And Internet Thug, if you want people to take you seriously (or maybe you don't), please try using some basic grammar and punctuation. Of course, with a name like Internet Thug, you're probably a 14-year-old, right? Wow, you can swear like a grown-up. Your parents must be proud.

I liked the first one... for some reason. by I Hope You Die	Nov 2nd, 2007 01:15:25 PM
I feel ashamed. This trailer is kind of a mess though.
It's always fun to see Bruce Greenwood by Giant Fish	Nov 2nd, 2007 01:18:02 PM
It seems he's the president in this one, like he was JFK in 13 Days. A severely underappreciated actor, my personal choice for Reed Richards.
DeCypher44.... by BangoSkank	Nov 2nd, 2007 01:27:56 PM
...that cracked me up. The first one was total "mindless popcorn fun".... I actually remember feeling a little guilty over how much I enjoyed it.... so, I guess I'll see this one too.... maybe not until DVD though, depends on what else is out that particular week.
the sad part is that it's all true by Pipple	Nov 2nd, 2007 01:38:58 PM
one dude could literally walk into some government building and steal some top secret stuff... I'm ashamed to be american.
Mitch Yost is back in the game, by BackRiverCatfish	Nov 2nd, 2007 01:56:56 PM
only this time he's the President? I don't know Butchie instead.
Number one was way better than Da Vinci Crap by Vesuvio	Nov 2nd, 2007 01:59:53 PM
Given that, why did Nicolas Cage stole Tom Hanks' wig?
You're all idiots and cowards by Guy Who Got A Headache And Accidentally Saves The World	Nov 2nd, 2007 02:07:32 PM
First, your idiots for liking these piece of shit films. Second, your cowards for only admitting to it when Merrick or somebody admits to liking it in an article. Then suddenly all the secret fans come out of the woodwork to show their support, when they think they've got the support of the vocal majority on their side. YOU MAKE ME SICK
NICK IS A DICK by BringingSexyBack	Nov 2nd, 2007 02:08:53 PM
I met him on the set of the first movie and he got all pissy when I said hello and tugged on his toupee. What a bitch. That said, I liked the first one and I can't believe they nabbed Helen Mirren for this one, making it a must see. They must've offered her a fortune. This looks like fun. Diane Kruger looks hot, and anytime Bruce Greenwood plays the President, you know it's gonna be a good movie.
Oh no! Not the bees! by Magma Suit	Nov 2nd, 2007 02:10:20 PM
They're in my eyes! http://youtube.com/watch?v=e6i 2WRreARo
I guess I'm not alone in the camp by Bloo	Nov 2nd, 2007 02:10:54 PM
that was totally ready to rip on the first one and then had a good time with it. It's not a perfect movie, it's not a great movie, but it's certainly a fun movie espically when you have a bunch of friends over, lots of food, lots of conversation going, me, the token movie geek shouting "Shut up, I wanna watch the movie", precedded by the insane 90's disney movie Rocketman.
GIANT FISH - GOOD CALL ON BRUCE GREENWOOD by BringingSexyBack	Nov 2nd, 2007 02:11:21 PM
He would've been PERFECTION as Reed Richards. God fucking damn Tim Story and Fox. Fuckers.
"Mindless popcorn fun" by Guy Who Got A Headache And Accidentally Saves The World	Nov 2nd, 2007 02:11:33 PM
Can we stop using this phrase? It's idiotic as hell. Terminator 2 was not "mindless popcorn fun" Aliens wasn't, Blade Runner wasn't, Raiders of the Lost Ark wasn't, yet it's okay to settle for this dumbed down Nicolas "knuckle biter" Cage shit because, "it's fun!" Fuck that. Somehow I think you guys are probably the same people who bitch about vern reviewing direct-to-video steven seagal movies.
Guy who got a headache by Bloo	Nov 2nd, 2007 02:12:49 PM
I actually just saw the first one a couple of months ago, and if I would have said it anytime before it wouldn't have made any sense because this is the first NT 2 article posted since I saw it so pfftttt
THIS ONE WILL BE BETTER THAN THE FIRST by BringingSexyBack	Nov 2nd, 2007 02:16:12 PM
I like Sean Bean but ... now you've got Helen "Lovely Tits" Mirren, Bruce Grenwood, Ed Harris, Harvey Keitel, and Jon Voight? Holy shit. If Nick Cage wasn't in it, it would be Oscar-worthy.
GWGAHAASTW - by DeCypher44	Nov 2nd, 2007 02:20:08 PM
Did Nic Cage have to get a restraining oreder on you in the past or something? You really have a stick up your ass about this and I can't see why. And I said that I liked the movie to people after I saw it. I was in the camp that thought it would kind of suck, but then I rented it, and it turned out to be a good, fun movie. Too bad for you that you didn't like it.
Total crap by kwisatzhaderach	Nov 2nd, 2007 02:47:23 PM
Why does Cage sound as though he has been drugged? Mind you, reading crap like the lines from this script it's no surprise really. And what is Ed Harris doing in this? America's Greatest Living Actor deserves better scripts.
looks good. an interesting holiday movie capper... by jig98	Nov 2nd, 2007 03:16:44 PM
i'm going to the big holiday 2007 movie kickoff tonight at my theater at 7-10pm. it's a double feature of bee movie and american gangster. nice thing to sit through after watching all 3 spidey movies this morning. we are in for a real spirited treat this holiday season at the movies after the mediocre line-up we had last year and especially after a messy summer movie season with a few exceptions. i kinda thought the first national treasure was a mixed bag as well. interesting how spongebob and the fockers were better choices that year. but it is more of a shut your brain off at the door kind of thing. good to see the queen herself helen mirren, bruce greenwood and the great ed harris go at it this time around. looking forward to it.
The president's book of sexy secrets? by Super Nintendo Chalmers	Nov 2nd, 2007 03:45:39 PM
I think it was before Grindhouse when I saw the first trailer. When the words "the president's book of secrets" were uttered half of the theater broke out into laughter. "Dear diary, Monica came over again tonight and let me paint her toe nails..."
hmmmmm by KingMong	Nov 2nd, 2007 04:19:11 PM
So the book holds all the secrets like who killed JFK, area 51??? and all he wants it for is to clear his grandaddy......Hmmmm :)
If you DID like the first film, you're kinda a pussy... by -guyinthebackrow	Nov 2nd, 2007 04:34:34 PM
... sorry, but it's true.
THERE WILL BE BLOOD TRAILER ON APPLE! by irc-Hollywood	Nov 2nd, 2007 04:42:35 PM
fly you fools!
remember blair witch 'book of shadows?' by Lloyd Bonafide the Korean War Veteran	Nov 2nd, 2007 04:53:52 PM
that was this worst shit i ever saw. how could they!?!?!?
i mean by Lloyd Bonafide the Korean War Veteran	Nov 2nd, 2007 04:54:39 PM
worse than blade 3, electra, and ghost rider. well, maybe not ghost rider..
Remind anyone of the Amazing Screw-On Head? by cerebulon	Nov 2nd, 2007 04:57:57 PM
This whole "secret history" of the U.S. theme? I loved that show.
wait, by Lloyd Bonafide the Korean War Veteran	Nov 2nd, 2007 05:04:03 PM
was blair witch "book of shadows?" whatever.
This movie is already too complicated for me by Vesuvio	Nov 2nd, 2007 05:16:00 PM
So, if Bruce Greenwood is the President, that means the Ghost Rider kidnaps JFK? But if the Book tells who killed JFK, does that mean the Book tells the future, ergo is actually the Bible? But why the Rider would want a Bible for? Is the mullet somehow involved?
guyinthebackrow by slone13	Nov 2nd, 2007 05:30:29 PM
Now why would you apologize in your post? Are you actually sorry that people liked the film? Perhaps you're sorry because they're pussies in your feeble opinion? I'm confused... But while we're on the subject of being sorry, I DO feel sorry for you and your ignorant closedmindedness. I am sorry for you that your life sucks. That you must call someone a "pussy" because they liked a movie you did not enjoy. I am sorry that people like you are entitled to their own opinion as asinine they may be. But most of all I am sorry that your mama didn't slap you upside the head more and teach you that nobody likes a dumb douche, you dumb douche.
Liked the first one despite its silliness but by Valin Kenobi	Nov 2nd, 2007 05:34:15 PM
this one looks pretty asinine. The last one was a good old fashioned conspiracy/treasure hunt but I'm not buying this whole Book of Secrets thing. Oh well, I'd be lying if I claimed my ass wouldn't be in that theater seat.
Headache fellow is correct by blackshuck	Nov 2nd, 2007 05:39:21 PM
...and The Mummy sucked. I like some crappy movies, but its gotta be transcendent crap, not 100 million dollar earbleedingly loud crap because we can't be bothered crap.
I'm a total pussy by crazyhorse2099	Nov 2nd, 2007 05:40:01 PM
but guyinthebackrow is definitely a dumb douche, so it all evens out
and the name calling is just stupid by blackshuck	Nov 2nd, 2007 05:43:15 PM
..calling someone a dick because they didn't like it or a pussy cause they did is sooo third grade. Lumping them all together as douches is also very meanspirited. That said, you are all idiots. AHAHAHHHAHAHAAAHHAAAAA!
looks fun by vezner2007	Nov 2nd, 2007 06:39:33 PM

The first movie was forgettable by Pipple	Nov 2nd, 2007 08:42:44 PM
Nothing stood out as noteworthy but it was satisfying for the average movie that it was...
First movie fucking sucked... by Osmosis Jones	Nov 2nd, 2007 10:02:41 PM
...and I just know Cage will repeat the like "I'm going to kidnap the President Of The United States" about 50 times like "The Declaration Of Independance" in the first.
YOU'LL ALL BE GUILTY OF MURDER! by Osmosis Jones	Nov 2nd, 2007 10:06:08 PM
AND YOU'RE DOING IT FOR NOTHING! KILLING ME'S NOT GOING TO BRING BACK YOUR GODDAMN HONEY!
Justin Bartha has to be the most pain in the ass of all time! by GQtaste	Nov 3rd, 2007 01:09:50 AM
most pain in the ass of all time. That prick alone ruined and otherwise decent film. It was like nails on a chack board.
i dont understand the hate for national treasure by Mr_X	Nov 3rd, 2007 03:31:23 AM
its an enjoyable movie, when i first saw it i enjoyed it, its' one of those movies thath if you're flicking the tv channels and its on, you';ll watch it even though its a third of the way through. Really i dont understand the hate. its a movie, its not based ona comic book or book, nor a tv show. you dont like "popcorn movies" well whoop de do, go fuck yourself and let the people that do what thier movie. nic cage, always liked his work, he's body of works recently has been a bit ropey, but this one shoudl put him back on track. and yes sometimes his hair is distracting. find a good wig maker dammit
they're cooking the books! by theonecalledshoe	Nov 3rd, 2007 04:19:42 AM
oh ...it's just a sequel.
Helen mirren gotta eat! by ironic_name	Nov 3rd, 2007 08:03:53 AM

The Crown Jewels... by Internet Thug	Nov 3rd, 2007 09:07:29 AM
are woven into Nic's rug..no need to see the movie now.
Nicolas Cage needs a lie in by artyfufkin	Nov 3rd, 2007 11:59:05 AM
What the f&*k why does this guy make 4000 movies a year? I loved Leaving Las Vegas and Bringing Out The Dead, The Rock and Con Air but jeez, take a year off and go hunting deer or something. Maybe piss off tp your Uncle Frankies Turtle Island and get a tan. No more Next or Face Off or other corn flecked turds...
faceoff rocked by ironic_name	Nov 3rd, 2007 12:20:49 PM

cage could easily play abe lincoln by Pipple	Nov 3rd, 2007 01:00:50 PM
that's all I wanted to say
Cool! by FILMFUNK	Nov 3rd, 2007 03:53:01 PM
A sequel to a shit film im not seeing! Cage continues his slide.
Netflix here I come.. by conspiracy	Nov 3rd, 2007 09:09:33 PM
because I won't spend $12 to see this. Especially since it seemingly propagates the National Socialist myth of Abe Lincoln. I guess if you are going to get the OK to use the facilities of New Rome you gotta pay tribute to it's first Emperor.
This movie went up a few notches.... by Wed Vid Guy	Nov 4th, 2007 01:21:33 AM
.....after watching The Davinci Code movie.
I'm with Wed Vid Guy ... by oatmeal2348	Nov 4th, 2007 02:17:58 PM
After watching the first NT, I kept thinking, 'What a rip of The Da Vinci Code, I can't wait to see how Hanks and Howard knock that one out of the park, but it ended up making me appreciate NT all that much more.' I'm looking forward to this one!
where's Sean Connery... by theonecalledshoe	Nov 4th, 2007 02:19:05 PM
honestly, the book of secrets?! Is this The Rock 2? I liked the first national treasure but it's going to be difficult to top that. The J. W. booth connection is a unique turn though.
I don't know... by wampa 1	Nov 4th, 2007 03:57:58 PM
...but it sure smells good!
SAHARA by FlyinHawaiian	Nov 4th, 2007 11:37:47 PM
