Actor NICHOLAS CAGE is threatening to quit the industry because he has "grown tired" of appearing in blockbuster movies. The World Trade Centre star admits he has lost his passion for acting and laments his career has forced him to become reclusive. He says, "Some movie stars look like they are having a ball, but I'm tired of it. It has made me reclusive. That is an increasingly gnawing feeling in my body. "When I first started I loved it. One of my frustrations is I have no control. I haven't worked in a while, and it will be eight months before I start my next picture. I know for the first time which direction I'm going in and what changes I want to make." The Oscar-winner also fears his fans are tired of watching him on the big screen. He adds, "For some reason, I p**s off the audience. People who like one type of film don't like to see me in another. "Things I did and said early on still haunt me. I started acting at 17, but I'm 44 now and have grown up. I wonder if I am still interesting to watch if I didn't drink or raise hell, but it's obnoxious to keep drinking."

I think he was good in Lord of War and Adaptation.

Problem is he was shit in the other ten or so movies I've seen him in.

Just checked IMDB, he has five 'announced' films coming. Not really quitting the business is he.. Drama queen
 
Yes, but we're talking fine knob cheese. Lord of War was the Stilton of knob cheese
 
I'd quite like to take his face...off.
 
I saw a trailer for that new National Treasure bollocks, and he looked like he could be assed every time he spoke in that.
 
His career has been going down hill for quite some time if you ask me, not quite the way he says it is above, films like Next, The Wicker Man and Ghost Rider are fecking shit and a waste of a pretty decent acting talent.

Some of his better films were gone in 60 seconds, the rock, 8MM, face off, snake eyes etc, some of his latest ones i wouldnt download let alone watch at the cinema.
 
I didn't like adaptation either. better than the usual complete and utter crap he produces mind. Just.

And I'm glad that he is finally getting the hint. I was tired of him decades ago.

His career has been going down since "Raising Arizona."
 
Raising Arizona was more of an outlier than a career highlight IMO.

I loved Adaptation, but to be honest it was mostly because of Charlie Kaufmans screenplay not Nicolas Cages acting.
