Ja kun Sight and Soundin kanssa päästiin vauhtiin, niin sieltä löytyi myös vallan mielenkiintoinen biografinen katsaus Jack Nicholsonin uraan.

Sitaatteja:

The gist, however, was the same – that Nicholson would deliver his finest work not in those roles he mastered but in those he didn’t.

Certainly the pattern was set long before Tim Burton’s 1989 Batman, a film often cited as the point at which Nicholson lapsed into self-parody, but one in which his bogeyman strut as the Joker is still unfailingly enjoyable.

In the process his choices were seldom other than idiosyncratic, often verging on the baffling: while you can’t help but wonder what the likes of Spike Jonze or P.T. Anderson could do with him, you equally can’t suppress a strange admiration for his indifference to such a relatively obvious career move.
