This past few weeks have been all about work, so I decided to take today off. I've
watched three movies on cable so far, two of them featuring Nicholas Cage in the cast. what ever happened to him? He was so gorgeous to me when I was in my teens. The first movie I saw him in was Valley Girl. I loved his edginess. The cast for "Peggy Sue" is amazing--Joan Allen, Jim Carey, Helen Hunt--but then it was
directed by Coppola. It must be so amazing to have been a part of one of his projects. Nepotism has mixed results: why does Coppola persist in his belief that his daughter can act? Even as a teen, she was wooden and unconvincing.Valley Girl was appalling. It's amazing the sorts of things that mange to get made. A quick look on IMDB of the various working titles suggest that the script underwent a number of different incarnations. What struck me is how the fashions--largely preppy--were so incredibly concealing. Everyone was dressed in layers of things that obscured their bodies. It's a sharp contrast to the crop tops and low cut jeans of the period that followed.
