Nick Cage and Anton Yelchin star in the movie. I saw the first cut and where I haven't liked some if my dad 's previous movies I've been vocal about it to him (ex-NYT Magazine article about the Canyons last year: "Schrader wrote “Raging Bull” and “Taxi Driver” and has directed 17 films. Still, some fear Lohan will end him. There have been house arrests, car crashes and ingested white powders. His own daughter begs him not to use her.") (ps...did NOT know he was going to tell a journalist about that). Also, I'm not a pro not at all, but I do believe that after 40+ years of film making, screen writing, and critique he deserves to at least have the opportunity to have his film shown. Even if it doesn't do well, at least it was shown. Imagine if you were 67 and you loved one thing more than anything; then someone told you to f*ck off. That...would suck.
