Nicolas Cage is raging about one early review for his new movie Ghost Rider after a reporter for magazine Entertainment Weekly suggested the Oscar winner had no right being in a comic book adaptation. The Moonstruck star is so angry about the personal attack, he’s urging fans to stop buying the “tabloid” and opt for an alternative - with a horoscope.

He fumes, “There was a blurb in Entertainment Weekly that said very condescendingly, ‘We get a kick out of watching Academy Award winners being in movies that they have no business being seen in.’ I thought, ‘Well, OK, that’s really shallow thinking because they can’t get outside their own box. They don’t understand the concept of what I would say is art.’

Entertainment Weekly is the kind of magazine that is very condescending and they think in a very narrow box and they always have. So that’s why I would recommend that if you want to really get your information and know what movies to go see I wouldn’t resort to that particular publication. “Entertainment Weekly is more like a tabloid. So, if you’re going to get a tabloid, get The National Enquirer because, at least, they have a horoscope. I mean, why spend the extra dollar getting Entertainment Weekly?” Cage jokes the publication takes itself far too seriously: “People like Entertainment Weekly don’t want to take the beret off of their head and stop being self-important and pretentious.”
