OhTheMirth Dislike  He very much reminds me of somebody I don't like. (.____.' )

flyintiger Interest  He was so great in Easy Rider: a young, wild Nicholson but not exactly yet the maniac he would too easily become, a caricature portrayed from one movie to the next. Great actor though.

jadelyne Hall of fame  His sister was his mother and his mother was his grandmother. No wonder Jack's crazy. Fun - but crazy...

Jack Nicholson Replacing Bill Murray in James L. Brooks' Latest
We haven't heard too much about the new James L. Brooks movie in the works, but here's a casting update that will definitely cause a stir. THR is reporting that Jack Nicholson may step in to star in the role that Bill Murray had originally been in. Back in February we reported that Owen Wilson and Paul Rudd would star alongside of Reese Witherspoon. The project, which still doesn't have a title, is a romantic comedy where Witherspoon plays a professional softball player torn between two men, a solid guy played by Rudd and a charming ball player with a 94-mile an hour fastball played by Wilson. Sound any good?Nicholson, who has been looking to star in something new, will apparently play the role of the father, but that's all that we know about his character. The project, in development at C [Read more]

GREEN & GLOVER: A cast party in DC

Something's Gotta Give
These days, Jack Nicholson tends not to overly exert himself as an actor and, at 72 and with more money than he can possibly know what to do with, it's rather hard to blame him. Occasionally, however, he does break out the old magic. And there are echoes of the real Jack here, because he plays an ageing ladies' man whose fondness for much younger women has become faintly ridiculous. Harry Sanborn is the wrong side of 60, but his latest girlfriend, Marin (Amanda Peet), is under 30, and when they [Read more]

'
For many Bat-fans, 1992's “Batman Returns” is regarded as the best Batman film of the pre-Christopher Nolan era. While it sacrificed Jack Nicholson's impressive Joker for Danny DeVito's oily Penguin, it evolved beyond a feature-length Prince video and presented audiences with the darkest take on Gotham's Dark Knight up to that point.It also put Michelle Pfeiffer in a skin-tight Catwoman suit — possibly the greatest triumph of any Batman film to date.That's why, during a recent [Read more]

Live from CineVegas: You Don't Know Jack, Because That's Not Himby Eric D. Snider Jun 14th 2009 // 9:02PMFiled under: Festival Reports, CineVegasThe Twitters were abuzz a few nights ago, when the CineVegas Film Festival hosted an event at the Sapphire Gentlemen's Club and people saw Jack Nicholson there. It seemed reasonable. Nicholson's old pal Dennis Hopper is the fest's honorary chair, so it was plausible that Jack would be in town.

Kareem: Magic's Howard 'kind of predictable'
But in the second half, Bryant, who because of his commitment to USA Basketball has been playing nearly nonstop for three years, wore down. He shot just 3 of 10 from the field and missed four free throws. In the fourth quarter, normally his signature time, he went 2 of 6, missed all three 3-point attempts and had the ball stolen on a crucial possession in the last 30 seconds. [Read more]

Zen Master Phil could be the best ever, or not
Fans of Red Auerbach might recoil at the thought, even if Jackson passes the cigar-smoking one with a tenth title. They would say Auerbach helped change the way basketball is played — and pave the way for new people to play it — with the Celtics, while all Jackson did was adopt someone else's triangle offense and get lucky with some of the greatest players to ever play the game.

Magic returns to Orlando in NBA finals
That role is Howard's and while Bryant remains on the sidelines, the All-Star attempts to spark a decisively magical push. With 7:50 to go, he backs in to give his side their largest lead at 91?82. Kobe returns. Crunch time beckons. Get a stop and then a basket, Jackson urges. A 13?2 run, capped by a three from Derek Fisher, has the Magic on edge. They proved against Cleveland that they can keep their cool when the heat is on but consecutive sloppy turnovers are ominous. Do we fear for Orlando [Read more]
