Re: Chinatown - Only Jack Nicholson could carry half a movie with a bandage on his nose.
What did he axe them?
Just watched “Wolf” again a while ago... perfect for Nicholson.
Even Ronald Reagan has a cameo.
It's also where Jack Nicholson got the gold helmet he wears in Easy Rider.
Language warning.

What you wanna axe me?
Greatest Nicholson movie?
Little Shop of Horrors 1960 as the dental patient
I added youse guys to the Zappa ping list.
How can you retire when you have been working?
I meant to say:
How can you retire when you have NOT been working?
Played Marvin Jenkins on “The Andy Griffith Show” in an episode titled “Aunt Bee The Juror.”
What many don’t know is that Jack’s mother almost aborted him. He recently said that he thanks God every day for his life!
Can you please add me to the Zappa ping list? Thanks.
My favorite role by Jack was "the Devil" in the "Witches of Eastwick" so many great lines from that movie.
Done! There’s only about 1 or 2 pings a year, but if you go search FR for Zappa in the title line, you might be surprised at what’s there. They’re alway fun threads.
I agree. Best quote is a toss up between, “Here’s Johnny” and “You can’t handle the truth”. My favorite is his reply to smart a$$ waitress that asks how he wants his wheat toast. “I want you to hold it between your knees.” — Five Easy Pieces (1970).
“Do you realize that I work at home?...Uh-hu? Well, I work all of the time. So never, never interrupt me. OK? Do you enjoy being interrupted when you are nancing around in your your little garden? Not if there is a fire. Not even if you hear a thud from my home and one week later there is a smell coming home that is so thick that you have to hold a hankie to your face because the stench is so bad that you think you are going to faint. Even then,...don’t come knocking. Or...if it’s election night, and you’re excited and want to celebrate because some fudgepacker that you date got elected the first queer president of the United States and you’re excited and want to celebrate because he’s going to have you down to Camp David.....and you want someone to celebrate with.....even then,....don’t come knocking....Not on this door,....not for ANY reason.....Do you get me Sweetheart? OK, then.
