I saw this last night... mostly because we couldn't decide on anything else to see... but it was really good... very very funny, and touching... Jack Nichelson was really good I thought... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Im a huge fan of his. I have to see it now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
About schmidt or catch me if you can... They both seem good... Oh heck I'll see it's a guy thing |
||||||||
|
|

|
I really want to see that one too! Jack Nicholson is always great, in every movie i've seen him in. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i am gonna watch this momentarily and will give you my OPINION shortly......i love nicholson....he's so damn KOOL with a K! |
||||||||
|
|

|
I saw it last night too! Sombre - yet thought provoking. Made you appreciate life for awhile (too bad we can't hold on to those feelings - with exceptions). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nicholson GREAT as always! kathy bates also wonderful + in great shape i really enjoyed both of their performances...they so fit together film it self was nice and funny |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
imo, this was one of Jacks best performances that I've seen... just seemed more vulnerable maybe, and totally not what I expected of jack now... he seems like this cool cat in hollywood, and definitely not an old person in attitude I wouldn't say, but this movie he went all out portraying the elderly person... it was really good... |
||||||||

he's a rreally good comedy actorr. i adorre him, he has rreal class. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i probably prefered him in both sean penns's movies, but he was great in this one as well - quite simmilar to his part in as good as it gets |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
did you guys see where he spoofed ted danson by getting done up in blackface and a big afro wig in a tux? MAN! that was seriously the most chocking thing ive ever seen as far as comedy goes. not insulting or obscene, just a total shock seeing him like that! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he was great in 'anger management'. seen it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I loved him in The Shining especially... but he was also really great in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest... loved that movie! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the shining is one of the best dramatic performances i think ever caught on film. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he didn't win anything for that did he? Was he nominated I wonder? I sure hope so! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

very funny indeed! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
excellent. terribly sad but funny. very good ending. i coulda done w/o seeing kathy bates' breastisis but otherwise everything was nice. in the RV with the couple i kept expecting the other guy to ask schmidt if he cares for a threesome or offer a bowl. |

It was okay, didn't really do it for me |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
But it wasn't bad either |
||||||||
|

where's your compassion? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

|
I've kind of lost it I think. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what happened? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't know. I always try to think in a certain way to better myself, you know, think the "right" way, but things are progressively getting worse I think. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
good luck |
||||||||

damn, Jack sure has won, and been nominated for a lot of awards! |
||||||||
|

this movie was very moving, what a tour de force for OLE jack, he finally played someone his own age. i wonder if he thought this is how is how my life MIGHT have been had i not been a hollywood big shot! ahhaha i cried when he saw the picture his lil foster child had drawn for him, soooo sad and uplifting! that family his daughter married into was WACK.....kathy bates is a GEM!! (that scene with the RV couple, there must be something in the deleted scenes that WENT on there, kinky sex or something) i'm gonna watch the deleted scenes and see for myself! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and jack made look that scene with the picture very real...he looks a bit confused as a person, but he sure can act |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Its not a comedy really. More like a look into the life of an older man as his routines are thrown in the gutter, and he has to figure out what to do. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i really enjoyed how realistic the film was |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i kind of liked it, jack nicholson is always insane heh, that kath bates scene scarred me, that was not necesary at all! dear ndugu, haha, those were the funniest parts. |

"Dear Umboogo.... " nice film alright |

'Somber' is a great way to describe the flick. it did have a very realistic feel to it. like, not all eventful and over-dramaticized. 1.76 thumbs up. |

"When I was a kid I used to think that maybe I was special, that somehow destiny had tapped me to be a great man - not like Churchill or Walt Disney or somebody like that. But somebody, you know, at least semi-important." |

so common, yet, so poignant. :thumbsup: |

"I can't get over you guys. No drinking, no carousing, no carrying on at all. I thought you college kids - let me tell you something, and I want you to listen very hard. That test tomorrow is meaningless. The senselessness of it all is going to hit you someday like a ton of bricks." I loved this movie! Jack was wonderful in it... maybe even better than in As Good As It Gets. It's all so recognisable (well... maybe not yet, but i'm sure when i retire i'll be thinking about this movie alot). And it was also much funnier than i had expected! The letters to Ndugu were all hilarious :-p |

I loved it too. it is very much like a coming of age film for old people. quite hillarious while remaining sincere. and you get to see kathy bates tits in it for all you perverts into old lady boobs. |
||||||||
|

|
|
yay, the shining is one of my fav's |
||||||||
|

my bro saw that film, he said it was hilarious. |

This was an excellent movie, and totally unexpectedly so. If nothing else, I can say it was worth the time because since I viewed it, every time I see an elderly person, I am nicer to them than I ordinarily would be. Not that I was ever gratuitously mean to them before, but I give them more respect and patience than before because the film gave me a new insight, or at least reminder, of how it sucks to get old and have young folks treat you like an idiot because they think you are old fashioned and stupid. I thought the film did a great job of putting you in the shoes of a senior citizen. Heck, it was so realistic I found myslef getting offended by the condescending behavior of the new boss and the store clerks and everything. Great movie. |
