  • #59: Kick-Ass (2010)

    My name is Ed, and my superpower is that I can watch a Nicolas Cage movie, use it to pick six numbers, and enter the UK National Lottery. You may say that anyone can do this, and so it is not a superpower. But if that’s true, why am I the only person who does…

    My name is Ed and I going to win the lottery by watching films with Nicolas Cage in them. I am. I just am, alright? After G-Force, Astro Boy makes two animated versions of Nicolas Cage in one week! And this time he’s playing a human man instead of a mole — the father of…

  • #53: National Treasure: Book Of Secrets (2007)

    My name is Ed and I am trying to win the lottery by watching Nicolas Cage films. Maybe watching all of Nicolas Cage’s films in order is the secret to transcending spacetime and leaving behind the human meatform to become one with the Godhead, but if not I would be happy with a few million…

  • #52: Next (2007)

  • #50: Ghost Rider (2007)

    My name is Ed and I have played the National Lottery 49 times, each time picking the numbers using a different Nicolas Cage film. So far, this has failed to win me the lottery, but who thinks they can win the lottery by watching 49 Nicolas Cage films? A fool, that’s who. So, number 50:…
