Nicolas Cage Wants Cake

"Do you want this cake? I want it!" This is like watching Eraserhead, starring Nicolas Cage. Maybe it's the sleep deprivation, but I love this. From filmmaker and musician Harry Partridge. (Link via @jeflee)

Nicolas Cage: Snow Monkey

Finally there is an explanation for Nicolas Cage's hair: he is a Japanese Macaque! Aww, didn't he look cute before he shaved and left the hot springs?

Uncanny Valley, from pop artist Brandon Bird. I love the title, which comes from the field of robotics. "The theory holds that when robots and other facsimiles of humans look and act almost like actual humans, it causes a response of revulsion among human observers." Yup, sounds like Nic Cage.

The Nicolas Cage Adventure Set

Brandon Birds Nicolas Cage Adventure Set! The magic and wonder of one of the most dynamic figures of the 21st century comes home in this incredible playset. Peel and re-peel to create new scenes! The fate of Nicolas Cage is in your hands!

I could totally put together a script for Cage with this. It couldn't be any worse than Gone in Sixty Seconds. On a related note, I hope to see Brandon Bird and 200 other comic artists this weekend at the Toronto Comic Arts Festival. It's going to be geektacular!
