Lose Your Shit Like Nicolas Cage

leaving_las_vegasIn some movies, Nicolas Cage is nothing short of mesmerising. He has an amazing ability to make you sympathise with his character whether he’s playing twin brothers who are total opposites or a weatherman in the midst of a mid-life crisis, there’s no denying that when he’s good, he’s fucking incredible.

But when he’s bad, hoo-wee, he’s fucking terrible. Anyone see Ghostrider? How about Windtalkers? Yeah, I rest my case.

And yet, people flock to see his movies, no matter how godawful they may or may not be because why?

Because MY GOD! The man knows how to completely lose his shit, as you’ll see in the following 4 minute sequence of Cage at his most shit-your-pants crazy that Civilian sent me yesterday.

 

 

Here’s a full list of all the movies courtesy of Pajiba.

0’09 – 0’30 Vampire’s Kiss

0’30 – 0’32 Ghost Rider

0’32 – 0’50 Vampire’s Kiss

0’50 – 1’11 Deadfall

1’11 – 1’19 Vampire’s Kiss

1’19 – 1’35 Deadfall (x2), Face/Off, Red Rock West (x2), Deadfall

1’35 – 1’43 The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call

1’43 – 1’47 Matchstick Men

1’47 – 1’52 Leaving Las Vegas

1’52 – 1’55 Vampire’s Kiss

1’55 – 2’03 Bringing Out the Dead, Face/Off (x2), 8mm, Adaptation, Wild at Heart

2’03 – 2’17 Windtalkers, Raising Arizona, Bringing Out the Dead, The Wicker Man

2’17 – 2’21 Vampire’s Kiss

2’21 – 2’34 Deadfall

2’35 – 3’10 The Wicker Man

3’10 – 3’19 Deadfall

3’19 – 3’37 The Wicker Man

3’37 – 3’43 Ghost Rider

3’43 – 4’10 Zandalee

 

I always thought it would be fun to be an actor so you could completely lose your shit, but he really doesn’t look like he’s having much fun in these scenes, does he?

What a fucking maniac Smile

SlickLion

To everyone who dug the last short story I posted on this site, I have good news and I have bad news.

The good news is I’m writing another one! In fact I spent the whole of last night writing it and while it’s coming on nicely, it’s still got a way to go before it’s ready to be posted.

Which means the bad news is I got nothing to post today. Except this pic of my friend, SlickLion.

 

 

Sorry about that guys! Fucking time, I swear to God I never fucking have ANY of it, aarrargahrgahgr!

You’re awesome though. Please always read this site.

Your pal,

Easing Into Monday

Mondays usually inspire vitriolic rants from your Tiger pal about how we are nothing more than glorified corporate slaves.

After that I try to incite some kind of mass mutiny among the people who read this blog by suggesting they quit their meaningless jobs and go live on a tropical island, Survivor-style, where they can spear-fish and live in A-frame bamboo huts on the beach.

 

 

This Monday is different though. I want to share this cool video I found last night. Sure, it’s an advert for Canon, and yes, I feel a little dirty for regurgitating it shamelessly, but it happens to be a really cool video, so I don’t feel so bad doing it.

What you’re about to see is the result of someone covering a tiny speaker with a thin membrane and then dripping tiny drops of ink onto the membrane, playing music through the speakers and filming what happens next with super high speed cameras.

 

 

Watch that video with your headphones on at least five times to ease you into Monday and if you can’t watch videos, here are some stills to enjoy whilst listening to relaxing classical music (should have the same effect).

 

 

 

 

Happy Monday! Winking smile

Friday Song

Not sure if it’s just me but GODDAMN this week’s dragged on!

In times of strife like these, there’s only one thing to do really and that’s turn to the Bad Rabbits for some funked-up sheeit to make it all better.

The who-what-nows? I hear you say. The Bad Rabbits muthufukkah! Put it in you.

 

 

Kapow!

The Border Between Heaven And Earth

This was going to be a completely different post that I was halfway through writing when my blogging software just decided to up and die on me without even extending the courtesy of auto-saving even one goddamn sentence.

So instead I did what I always do when inspiration fails me, trawl the interwebs for random shit and after a solid three minutes of dicking around, I found something pretty cool.

There’s a place in Bolivia called Salar de’Uyuni which is the world’s largest salt flat.

For most of the year all this means is that the ground is really white and, well, completely flat, BUT during the rainy season the salt flats turn into a fucking gigantic natural mirror, perfectly reflecting the sky above it.

How amazing are these pictures?

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love the way the world can be that way. Just when you think you’ve got it all figured out, you discover some crazy place somewhere where the conditions, through a multitude of completely random circumstances, are just right for it to look like paradise.

I’d like to visit this place one day, when this blog site has made me rich and famous, and you’re all invited, every single one of you, on the house, SlickyT’s got it covered Winking smile

One day I tells ya.

We’re all going to Bolivia.

Evil Dead 4 Bitches! It’s Awn!

The Evil Dead series will always have a soft spot in my heart because I was about 16 the first time I saw them and it happened at Woodstock II back in ‘99.

Me and my long-time buddy Ricky T hit the second Woodstock festival in SA on a quiet Thursday morning when hardly anyone was there yet, set up camp badly and proceeded to get as trollied as humanly possible, as you do at rock festivals.

 

 

At one stage or another we lost each other (inevitable) and I stumbled around with a blonde girl whose name I don’t even vaguely begin to remember, but I’m pretty sure she was a friend of Ricky T’s.

We found ourselves in this crazy little rondawel at the top of the Heidelberg Aventura resort where Woodstock was happening and there, on a big, old school projection screen was the most messed up movie I’d ever seen.

 

 

I was drawn to that shit like a moth to a flame. I lost the blonde halfway through the first Evil Dead, but that didn’t stop me from sitting through it and the strikingly similar sequel until well after sundown, completely engrossed in how simultaneously crap and awesome the movies were.

And now there’s a fourth one in the pipeline, fuck yeah!

Bruce Campbell, who plays the chainsaw / shotgun wielding Ash in all the Evil Dead movies apparently confirmed via twitter that a fourth movie is in the pipeline and what’s rad is they’re making it a ‘small indie thing’ like the first two were.

 

 

Dread Central broke the news first, so hit that site for more details.

It’s Friday. Here Are Hot Chicks.

I know this is usually Dan Nash’s thing (sorry charna, not ripping you off homes, just too damn lazy to actually write anything worth reading) but it’s been a long-ass week and I’d rather be vegetating right now than using my brain.

Still though I feel like I owe you guys, my loyal readers, something worth reading / gawking at.

So here ya go, enjoy Winking smile

Dark Side Of The Lens

I’ve never surfed in my life but I don’t think you have to have surfed to appreciate this video.

I don’t know if it’s new or old and I’m sorry if you’ve seen it before but it’s one of the most powerful videos I’ve seen in a long time.

Nothing else I write about this can really do it any justice. So let’s cut to the chase already.

 

 

Beautiful.

Whippin’ Out The Big Guns

If everything goes according to plan, this post should automatically be tweeted from my SlickTiger account and be posted on my Them’s Fightin’ Words Facebook page all at the click of one button.

That’s right folks, I’ve been playing around with the new site and hoo-wee has it been fun.

 

 

Check out the right hand side of the page, can you handle that shit?! You can now follow me on Twitter, Facebook and subscribe to the site so you get a delightful email every time I post just by clicking the new icons I stuck up on the site.

And trust me, this is just the start of things to come.

Next I’m going to fix all the dead links on the site so that my content reads the way it used to, then I’m going to start changing the actual look and feel of the site so it’s not so goddamn crap anymore.

Bottom line: I’ve been fucking around for too long on this site. Time to knuckle down and get my traffic back to the level it used to be at and then double it.

Cause right now my stats look like total shit. It was definitely a good move getting my own hosting and domain name, but fuck me the hits are crawling in.

But that’s all gonna change and fast.

The Tiger’s back boys and girls, and this time he’s not fuckin’ around.

 

 

Have a killer weekend boys and girls and if any of you know HTML coding inside out and don’t mind answering a string of emails from your Tiger pal about how to tweak this and change that, hit me on tellthetiger@gmail.com.

The full Nandos “Dubious History” story revealed!

Awhile back I uploaded this sick ad I scripted, acted in, directed and edited for the current Nandos campaign which was awesome because it meant I could run around with my underpants on the outside in public (finally!).

The campaign is now at an end and the Nandos team have finally revealed the origins of its delectable peri-peri sauce and the epic story of the origins of that sauce.

So check it out and tell me, honestly, if you think it’s better or worse than the ad I shot (keeping in mind the bit I mentioned above about the underpants on the OUTSIDE).

 

 

What’s the verdict boys and girls? Tell Uncle Tiger.
