Cage Effect


the cage effect (or cage syndrome) is a curious consequence, whereby a film containing more than 30 minutes of scenes with nicholas cage will become instantly worth watching; regardless of the quality of the script, concept or acting.

this effect is most notable in especially bad films as the appearance of cage converts any drama into a yet unnamed form of humour. the greater the intended drama the more hilarious nicholas cage will make the scene. thus during scenes in a film that should be serious, moving or tragic the audience only concentrates on how nicholas cage will deliver his next line.
tom: “i was supposed to be concentrating on the intriguing unravelling of a conspiracy by nicholas cage but all i saw was him in a bear suit punching people.”

simon: “must have been the cage effect dude”

tom: “totally”
