How come the good ones die and Nick Cage is still allowed to make shitty movies?

Because Nick is still suffering the downward spiral of chasing the celebrity nut bar, and Gene has more than earned his rest from this circus.

But it does suck for us. :/

Willy Wonka tops, then Young Frankenstein and I think he made another brilliant performance as the Fox in The Little Prince 1974.

          Willy Wanka, see no evil hear no evil, and I have to agree with you on the Little Prince. Although a lot of people did not like the Little Prince, he did do a great job in it.

It did have a weird creep factor with adult men trying to get the confidence of this little boy. Bob Fosse as The Snake does some dance moves that look remarkably like Micheal Jackson's style.

It's a difficult adaption for a screenplay writer to work with, the book is a all time classic and is guarded from mainstream. It's guarded for a good reason though, the wrong person trying anything with it would cause a major uproar. How would the mass public feel if they attempted a remake of "The God Father?" Robert and Al would be quite offended if anyone try to mess with a protected classic. I wish we had guarded Willy Wonka from a remake.
