3. now that we're at it,

"but he'll still owe everyone that saw "Bangkok Dangerous" 99 minutes of their life back.

should read

"but HE'D still owe ALL THOSE WHO'D SEEN "Bangkok Dangerous" 99 minutes of their LIVES back."

Do you guys have high school diplomas?

Do you know BASIC English?

Who are you?

5. Now, let me get this straight...if he owes this money to the State of Louisiana...how the hell did the feds/IRS get into it? Have you got this story screwed up TMZ?

6. Nic Cage is an excellent actor, so I wonder why he sometimes chooses such bad movies. "Knowing" was just terrible! Not the worst I've seen, of course, but not worthy of Nic Cage's acting abilities.

As far as his New Orleans home, I wouldn't live in it if he gave it to me. It's supposed to be very haunted - by ghosts, of course. Terrible things have happened there. Oh, I take it, but I'd immediately sell it.

8. If he owes the IRS, why does the writer of this article says he owes the state of Louisiana $6.2 million?

"If Nic takes that cash and gives it right over to Louisiana, he'll only owe another $2.65 mil"

Why would Cage pay the state if the IRS slapped him with a federal tax lien?

9. what's up with all the celebs owing money-back taxes-IRS???? so disappointed in them

shame on them- if they can not/do not handle their own finances then they should frequently oversee the people they are paying to do it
sheer stupidity to allow their financial advisers to go unchecked - especially for long periods of time

and if they handle their own money then maybe they should take a course or two in accounting or something to keep up with the rest of us - paying our bills/taxes etc. on time

10. What would Suze Orman say? That people like Cage bite off more than they can chew ? And that the financial reality of buying expensive properties and then ignoring them not payiong the taxes, not maintaining them ect, will reel them in and bite them on the ass?

Posted at 2:25PM on Aug 1st 2009 by it's nice to have lots of money. However....

11. I saw bangkok dangerous, and i thought it was a good movie. i guess its just preference. why does tmz always have something negativve to say.

12. No one mentioned "Raising Arizona"!
a true classic and personal favorite that launched Cage's blockbuster career
