There are 58 total, and we are going to watch 51 of them. Good grief. We've only watched 13.

Our list to watch includes Kick-Ass (see below), but not Season of the Witch, since there's no release date on that. It also doesn't include some other ones. We decided to skip Never on Tuesday, since he's just an uncredited "Man in Red Sports Car." Maybe it's a good movie, but not really pertinent to our mission. We also decided to skip the Christmas Carol movie, G-Force, and The Ant Bully, where he just does voices for animated characters. Animated movies are for sissies. And we're skipping Grindhouse because he's just in a mock trailer; again, not really pertinent to the task at hand (although I've never seen it and really want to, so I am trying to put it on a mental list to watch later).

We included Industrial Symphony No. 1: The Dream of the Brokenhearted in the total because a tv movie/musical directed by David Lynch, starring Nicolas Cage and Laura Dern with music by Julee Cruise (Twin Peaks) sounds totally rad, but it's pretty hard to find, so we're not holding our breath.

We're still trying to stick with chronology, but sometimes we can't, and that's ok with us.

By the way, we really need to say THANK YOU to John Morrow for pretty much being our sponsor for this whole thing. He's burned us so many movies! I think he's almost as excited as we are about all this. Almost.

So what's next for the Cage-meisters? Field Trip! Kick-Ass opens at the Alamo at 12 a.m. Guess who's gonna be there, balcony-style? We're committed, people!
