What about the cheesy new-age font for the subtitles?

On Flicked Off: 'Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans'
They beheaded John the Baptist, but that didn't make his words any less TRUE. REPENT for your sins against Cage-kind. REPENT!

On Flicked Off: 'Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans'
From the moment he burst upon the screen, with his self-assured strut and uttered, in his distinctive twang and intonation, the immortal words "I KNOW who your friends are, JULIE" in the '80s classic "Valley Girl," Nicolas Cage was on his way to acting greatness. Choire, as an '80s Valley Boy, knows this and merely is in denial. Frank Capra once wrote: "there are no rules in filmmaking, only sins; and the cardinal sin is to be dull" (a rule, alas, he neglected to follow himself, but a genius dictum, nevertheless). Nicolas Cage is many things, but he is never dull. Can we say the same about Hanks, Spacey, Hoffman (both Hoffmans) and the other acclaimed so-called acting luminaries of our age? No, we cannot. Like Icarus, Cage flies perilously close to the sun. Sometimes his wings get a tad crispy, but no one else travels at such stupendous heights. KNOW.

Personally think Don could have solved all his weighty moral dilemmas by pulling a human 'pede with Megan and Faye (shit, why not throw in the Jewess Goddess Menken, while he's at it?).
