I can kind of academically appreciate it, but I dislike Jack Nicholson's character so much in it that I can't identify with him at the points where I can tell I'm supposed to. It's a really uneasy film for me, which I guess is intentional to some degree. Conflicting. I do, however, think Karen Black is amazing in it, so I totally endorse your Supporting Actress pick. :)<br /><br /><i>Le cercle rouge</i> was my favorite new-to-me film I saw in 2011. If <i>The Conformist</i> is better, I guess I gotta get to that one stat. :)Jandyhttp://www.the-frame.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6924668268143757716.post-40117062496711809992012-02-18T09:07:20.536-05:002012-02-18T09:07:20.536-05:00I followed the link to the Sharpologist page, and ...<i>I followed the link to the Sharpologist page, and now I know what you look like, and what you shave with.</i><br /><br />I'm a handsome devil, aren't I ...Mythical Monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11330587602682498820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6924668268143757716.post-15881854441601117982012-02-18T02:36:23.424-05:002012-02-18T02:36:23.424-05:00I didn't read the whole post, since I'm ho...I didn't read the whole post, since I'm horribly behind on this series...as mentioned (at my blog) I haven't read since the late 30s, and want to read 'em all in order, with proper time and attention!<br /><br />Anyway.

HE was great.<br /><br />(2) Ring Lardner, Jr. to Elliott Gould: <i>How could you do this? There's not a word that I wrote in the picture.</i><br /><br />(2) and why the fvch is there no special mention of the appearance in <i>Diary of a mad Housewife</i> of that great [then-from-Los-Angeles] band -- Alice Cooper ?!?<br /><br /><br />C'Mon, man, tuck in your shirt -- you're in the Regular Army!mister muleboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14367123802128879318noreply@blogger.com
