In "The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent," the legendary actor Nicolas Cage (Nicolas Cage) is hoping to play "the role of a lifetime." But despite what he thinks is a good meeting — to an outsider, Cage comes off as a little desperate — the director (David Gordon Green) "goes in a different direction." This disappointment sends Cage to hit the bottle like the Oscar-winning actor's character, Ben Sanderson, in "Leaving Las Vegas."
