I cannot stand Jack Nicholson. I don't care how many Oscars he's won. I don't care that he's one of the living legends of Hollywood. I don't care that he was in the Best Picture winner this year or any other year.

The man is smarmy. He's a self-involved egotist who mugs shamelessly every time the camera cuts to him (and they do it once every half-hour or something). He thinks he's terribly interesting, and the Oscar people feed that notion every damn year.

He's given some good performances, I'll grant you, but he's not the King of Hollywood. He's a sad little man on a sad little hill, giving grandiose performances and frequently relying on the stock "Jack" character to get him through the day.

This rant brought to you by the Oscars, now with more Al Gore.

He was actually the one thing I didn't like about The Departed. For the first half of the movie, it seemed like he was doing something different, but for the second half, he was back to just playing Jack Nicholson. Pretty disappointing.

I always felt like the odd one out amongst the other film students at uni, I've never liked Jack Nicholson. I like some of the roles he's played, but him? Nope. Can't stand him, never could.

I've never been a fan of his, but he doesn't annoy me. Except that I noticed he shaved his head, which looked gross last night.

I don't think I can acknowledge knowing you anymore.
