Nicolas Cage Sells Castle Because Of "Difficult Economic Situation"
Don't worry, he still has a backup castle:

Hopefully he can at least hang on to the Fortress of Solitude.

Guess he'll have to make 20 more bad movies about numerology and assassins and numerological assassins.

I say we buy it as a FOT retreat. Economy be damned.
-
It looks like a prison, the other one was cooler looking anyway.

To quote John Mulaney, "What would a cartoon rich person do?"

That would be awesome.

In my mind, I see all the FOTs arrive early one specific weekend each year via vintge Rolls Royces and Bentleys. We are ushered in to the library where we all mingle and drink ancient scotches out of crystal glassware and eat fancy crackers with unknown pasty stuff spread on them. After a couple hours Tom finally makes his arrival wearing some sort of smoking jacket/pajama bottom/sailor hat ensemble and welcomes us to the FOT mansion for the weekend. Then, he waves his arm toward a large wall of books. the shelves slide open to reveal a hidden stage where Ted Leo and the Pharmacists begin rocking our socks off. After a two and a half our set we are treated to an equally long and equally rocking set by Superchunk.
The next morning over fancy brunch, we are treated to a live reenactment of the movie 'Clifford' featuring the original cast members minus Charles Grodin. Tom fills in for that role and Dogmo plays Clifford. That night it is a comedy showcase with Patton, PFT, Zach Galifinakis, Todd Barry and many, many others. (Philly Boy Roy gets thrown out early for heckling)
On Sunday, we all depart via helicopter with a rope ladder.
Good times.

You left out the snooty neighbor who becomes incensed with our antics. His attempts to ruin our fun keep getting foiled...with comic results. But in the end, a female FOT wins his heart, and he ends up on stage with a mohawk singing into the mic with Ted Leo.

We (female FOT collectively) win his heart by smiling a lot and drinking tea. After we lure him into a quiet corner of the concert/library room by serving macaroons, the "other" FOT take over, and he realizes his sweater is actually kinda cool.
