2 h. ago ‘My moment of glory’: Nicolas Cage lookalikes assemble in London

To mark the release of his new film, hundreds of people who sort of look like the actor gather outside Prince Charles cinemaOn a sunny, bustling late afternoon outside a cinema in Soho, central London, more than a hundred people have gathered, a number of whom sort of, if you squint, look a little bit like the actor Nicolas Cage.There is a Raising Arizona Cage, moustachioed and with a Hawaiian shirt. There are several Con Air Cages in white vests, one of whom has a toy bunny in a small cardboard box. Several can genuinely claim an uncanny likeness to the actor; one or two others might uncharitably be said to be closer to Cage’s character in Face/Off, who surgically swaps his own distinctive features for the face of someone else – in that case, John Travolta – who looks nothing like him.

9 h. ago The case for American reindustrialisation | Dustin Guastella

Walking through the US’s deindustrialized zones is a bit like walking through Dresden after 1945. We can rebuild better than beforeA poll from the conservative Cato Institute recently went viral. It found that 80% of Americans think the country would be better off if more people worked in manufacturing. At the same time, only 25% of respondents said they themselves would be better off working in a factory. What should we make of the results?First, there’s nothing contradictory between these figures. It’s easy to see how it would be good for the country to reshore manufacturing jobs, even if it’s not good for you, personally, to work in a factory. Imagine a local pharmacist in an industrial town. He can see how his business would benefit from the expansion of a nearby plant. Yet he could also see that he would personally lose out on a lot of income if he gave up his trade and marched into the factory himself. The same can be said for any number of other workers. The reason so many pe...

10 h. ago Has Marvel shot itself in the foot by bringing superfreak Sentry into Thunderbolts*?

The inconveniently irrational god-being makes Rocket Raccoon look positively humdrum. Would it be wise to let him monopolise the multiverse?Is there ever a right time to introduce into your superhero universe a psychologically unstable god-being with the potential to sneeze a continent off the map? It is probably not when – 17 years in – you are being accused of having lost half your audience to superhero fatigue. But that’s exactly what Marvel is doing this weekend as Thunderbolts* brings us Sentry, quite possibly the freakiest superhero to ever grace the comic book publisher’s hallowed pages. You thought Rocket Raccoon was weird and unhinged? Reckon Moon Knight is a bit of a handful? This guy makes them look like well-adjusted professionals with decent pensions.Sentry first appeared in 2000 in The Sentry miniseries which offered a sort of meta-commentary on superhero mythology; the character was initially presented as a forgotten Silver Age icon, retconned into Marvel history via ...
