The politicization of this thread makes me sad.
I see you mad laugh and nod approvinglyI see your whiskey and raise by a mad laugh!
I could have had class. I could have been a contender.
I could have been somebody. Instead of a bum
Which is what I am
I aim at the stars
But sometimes I hit London
Then we are agreed!I see you mad laugh and nod approvingly
When the stars threw down their spears
And watered heaven with their tears:
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the lamb make thee?
Then we are agreed!

alright, that one is multiple levels of creepy.

Who the hell is this guy, anyway? And why do you boys have a crush on him?
We're stuck in a bloody snowglobe.
Who the hell is this guy? Really?

A shining surprise it would be.
Tomorrow is like an empty canvas that extends endlessly, what should I sketch on it?
Okay, it's Jack Nicholson. I looked him up. Only movie he's ever been in that I've seen is The Witches of Eastwick. Not really sure why I was supposed to be able to identify him, he doesn't seem to have been in much of anything good (or at least my taste, anyway).Who the hell is this guy? Really?
So why the hell do you boys have a crush on him, exactly?
We're stuck in a bloody snowglobe.
He's in movies that guys (including me) like?

Because he's a great actor and very well-known. Quite a few great roles as well.
Easy Rider, Shining, two Jakes, Batman (the 1st), A Few Good Men (You can't handle the truth! Surely you know that one?), Mars Attacks, As Good as it Gets, About Smith, One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest, The Departed.
Why the hell not?So why the hell do you boys have a crush on him, exactly?
I don't have a crush on him, I have a crush on Stephen Fry.

Nope. Never seen any of them. So congratulations, he's so well-known that I don't recognize him. I'm perfectly willing to believe he's a great actor, but he's not in anything I want to watch.
(The Witches of Eastwick was a terrible film, incidentally - the book was way better)

Well, can't argue over taste, so I'm not gonna. And you're not the yardstick with which people determine whether someone is well-known, so I'm afraid I can't accept those congratulationsBut I would urge you to at least check out One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest, As Good as it Gets, About Smith and the Departed. I rather liked those, who know, you might too
On a different, more on-topic, note:

I liked the book of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, I'm perfectly willing to try the movie.
Like I just said in IRC - I've heard of Jack Nicholson, of course - but I never would have been able to recognize him by a photo or in a preview of a film.

I spent the entire movie being distracted by Helen Hunt's massively oversized forehead.
I was going to be snarky at Dread, but who could be mad at him after thisMinus eleventy internet points for including As Good as it Gets in the list of must-see Nicholson films.
Fuck it, I'll be snarky anyway
In the future, the Berlin wall will be a mile high, and made of steel. You too will be made to crawl, to lick children's blood from jackboots. There will be no creativity, only productivity. Instead of love there will be fear and distrust, instead of surrender there will be submission. Contact will be replaced with isolation, and joy with shame. Hope will cease to exist as a concept. The Earth will be covered with steel and concrete. There will be an electronic policeman in every head. Your children will be born in chains, live only to serve, and die in anguish and ignorance.
The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.

300 million and we found what, 10 idiots? I'm really impressed.
Sadly, idiots tend to be the vocal minority.
