Maybe it's just my profound dislike of Jack Nicholson.
Sir? I'd like you to take the helm, please. I need this man to tear all my clothes off.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Seriously, though I have never seen the movie (although I have read the book), and I was planning on watching it because it is leaving Netflix instantwatch soon, but I am not sure I can handle the Jack Nicholson.

It's expiring today, which is why I'm watching it.

I'm not exactly a Jack fan, but I love the movie. It's more Chinatown Jack than redrum Jack which has infected nearly all of his acting since.
I also think, generally speaking, it is a faithful adaptation of the book.

Good movie, yeah, but I'm not sure I took away from it what they meant me to.

It's been a long time since I saw Cuckoo's Nest, so the version of it that sticks in my head is the homage/parody from Spaced.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I took "Chief" away from it, but I was deep into basketball at the time.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I just watched Dazed and Confused, and I liked it more than Fast Times at Ridgemont High, even though they're both movies about teenagers just...doing stuff. I guess I like the way Linklater films teenagers just...doing stuff.
The Amazon.com review described it as Fast Times at Ridgemont High as directed by Jean-Luc Godard, and now I wonder if I would actually like Godard. I have assumed the French New Wave would bore me to tears. Just...because. Wait, it's because I hated The 400 Blows. Was that French New Wave? Because bleh. The plot of Breathless sounds interesting, so I stuck it in my Instant Queue, but I'm afraid.
