[Homer]

The following is almost a borderline case. Yet I remember how it touched me when I saw and heard it the first time.

The music is beautiful - so fragmented.

Two syllables, indeed.

[angrezi]

from 'The Border' (1982); Jack Nicholson and random drunk woman in empty bar:

woman: some people say that life is nuthin but a dream...
Jack Nicholson: well, whose dream is it?
woman: I don't know
JN: why does it fucking matter then? (gets up and leaves bar)
woman (begins to cry and shouts after him): MOTHERFUCKER!

[evakurvan]

woman: some people say that life is nuthin but a dream...
Jack Nicholson: well, whose dream is it?
woman: I don't know
JN: why does it frakking matter then?

omg Radharani says the same thing:

There are hundreds of impressions which arise within my mind. But is this all a dream, or imagination? I cannot fathom. My mind is totally confused. For example, if a hungry person goes to sleep and dreams of feasting, his hunger remains upon awakening. Similarly, the reflections of Krishnas anga-sanga (bodily contact) rising within my mind appear like dreams, thus I'm unable to tangibly relish them. Therefore what's the use of mentioning all of this phantasmagoria?!

I can't think of one actor who sucks more eggs than Jack Nicholson always playing the same ass hackneyed bad imitation of Hemingway / Kerouac character.

that woman in the bar looked kinda like you eva

[evakurvan]

I never saw this movie but random drunk woman in a bar screaming bad words lol

Another one who sucks eggs like that Is Johnny Depp, for example, in Fear and Loathing, but also he sucks eggs in general.

If you get the chance, Eva, have a look at One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

I saw that movie many times and it made me cry each time my favourite character is the stutterer. *THE BEST*

i wonder if they made an extra giant oscar special to award his capacities. I don't want to clown it with the hyperbole but for serious.

i also enjoy the singing of row row row your boat by the prostitute with the heart of gold, and the way she is singing it. And oh look it links to angrezi's life is but a dream quote too, but that is immaterial to the point.

omg there are too many good points to give you a reason to wait out that movie i don't want to flood the reply box with motivation so left me instead focus on the negative.

Jack Nicholson plays the same old egg-sucking caricature of a character in that movie he must think he is really cool wild and free I'm surprised he doesn't grow an extra rotating arm to pat himself on the back about what a cool dude he is.

Maybe the reason he acts like a model stereotype down to the mannerism and bone is that he is trying to mimic an archetype point by point - like strives to morph himself as predictable as a Tarot card. Like he is not really an actor but a hidden jungian doctor doing some kind of research for the longest conducted best kept secret study ever. Look how you have to do hare krishna acrobatics to redeem him. For example, he would make a great mime.

But sure it is hard not to cheer for him in that movie as he is cast as the mental patient liberator and of course I enjoy the movie so can brain wash myself to suspend disbelief to go with the flow you are set to feel toward everyone in it.

I get the impression that he was playing himself.

Who do you believe should have been cast as R. P. McMurphy?

[0Aran0]

Who do you believe should have been cast as R. P. McMurphy?

I think, Arnold Schwarzenegger (of course, Keanu Reeves would be the obvious choice, but he was only 11 years old at the time of the film's release).

From what I've seen of him, Jack Nicholson is at his best in Five Easy Pieces, and Babenco's brilliant Ironweed.

You got that right, Homer. He sure is 'playing himself,' lol

The following is almost a borderline case. Yet I remember how it touched me when I saw and heard it the first time.

The most striking scene in American Beauty was when Ricky leaves home, probably for good, and says farewell to his mother. They look at each other intensely and the mother says only, "Don't forget your coat." It gave me the shivers.

I think Nick Nolte.

Arnold? The major problem would have been that he would have easily lifted the drinking fountain. Reeves? Too wooden.

How about a young Anthony Hopkins?

Interesting. Maybe?

I was joking, Homer. Neither of those people should ever have been allowed anywhere near a film studio; except, maybe, to sweep up, or fetch coffee...but that's Hollywood for you...

In my opinion, Anthony Hopkins is overrated (he should have stuck with ventriloquism).

I have never seen a movie with Arnold in it. Anthony might have suited the role. Not every actor is totally absorbed in the pursuit of classical theater, does this mean he cannot entertain us.

[Brainiac]

I've seen Arnie movies but they are usually on the TV around Christmas time and there's nothing else to watch. But I do think that he was good in The Terminator, that role seemed to suit him. His acting is wooden and robotic enough to fit the role of a cyborg.
