Watch the movie Seven, and tell me again how talentless Pitt really is. It's easily one of the greatest movies ever made.

Divide that 5 mil into the average # of hours worked to get his hourly rate. I only need him for 1.

Or Twelve Monkeys, or Seven Years in Tibet, or Fight Club, or Snatch, or Ocean's Eleven...

I enjoy Brad Pitt's work. He did a great job in Snatch. Fight Club was his best movie. Matt Damon's best movie was Rounders. I think it's a shame that people like Vin Diesel, Nicolas Cage, and Marky Mark get paid more than talented actors like Edward Norton and Kevin Spacey.

Nicolas Cage had a string of movies from 1995-99 that were decent. He's not a great actor but was entertaining for awhile. He's one dimensional though. He did pick up that amazing southern accent for Con Air! "Put the bunny down!"

8MM (1999)
Snake Eyes (1998)
City of Angels (1998)
Face/Off (1997)
Con Air (1997)
Rock, The (1996)
Leaving Las Vegas (1995)

Norton and Spacey are much better than Cage for their acting range. Nicolas Cage works well when he shares the spotlight as he did in The Rock with Sean Connery.

I thought Nick Cage was pretty damn good in Leaving Las Vegas.

Nicholas Cage was also in some good movies in the late 80's like Raising Arizona (still one of my top 10 all time), Peggy Sue Got Married, and Moonstruck.

I'm not saying he's as good as Brad Pitt or Ed Norton (American History X is fucking hardcore), but he's got some skills.
