In the future, all humanity will look like Nic Cage playing each of us.

I like Cage better tham Manson, so I was dissapointed once I read the title.

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

I'm indifferent to both cage and manson, so I found the whole thing hilarious.

undoubtedly this is humanity's most profound meme to date.

bravo!

Layered, with aspects of past and present culture, intertwined. Truly one for the 2050s textbooks.

I wonder how many other people this works for

With today's technology, we should be able to remaster Friends entirely with Nicolas Cage.

He should wear makeup again to avoid this.

[–] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Doesn't he look old and terrible now? I thought I saw a picture of that somewhere.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Well, he's definitely middle aged now, and I doubt he's lived a healthy lifestyle.

[–] peteypete420@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

As opposed to young and terrible? Don't get me wrong, I had his CDs and even saw him live once or twice, but he was always a ugly person.

[–] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Yes, but even unattractive people can take care of themselves. He looked unwell.

That's the guy from Mr. Belvedere
