First, this is not what Nic Cage was promoting in Austin, but we need to discuss some news that apparently passed me right by when it was announced: He is set to star in a John Madden biopic... *as* John Madden?!?!?!?!? I would almost believe him for a biopic about Benji and Joel Madden before John Madden. Just, wow. I do not know about that. But I'm not sure who WOULD be John Madden. Can *anyone* be John Madden? I assume Nic nailed his audition and everything will be fine, but I would have pictured... John C. Reilly, I think?

Second: Nic *is* promoting a movie called *The Surfer*, which kind of sounds like *Beef* but by the ocean. Also, his character name is The Surfer. His kid's character name is The Kid. I guess when you're writing *Beef By The Ocean*, you can't waste your creative energies on nomenclature.
