I dunno....this series can potentially last a pretty long time, so I'm not sure whether to wait till High & Low is out or not. Spike works fast, so it might be out by the end of the year, so I might just hold out till it's out. We'll see. I might change my mind  |

Blood And Wine won't win, and I haven't seen it in years, but I remember enjoying it quite a bit and thinking it was underrated. It was quite a treat to see two well matched icons like Nicholson and Michael Caine going at it.

Never seen/heard of Man Trouble, but Five Easy Pieces towers over the others.

He directed Nicholson's best performance - 5 Easy Pieces and his most underrated great one - King of Marvin Gardens Nicholson is one of 4 American GOAT level film actors imo along with Brando and DePac so that's a huge deal.....but an even better thing is he directed a film that ends in a way no film would dare to end end in 2024 and he did it in 1970.......DEI my ass.....sometimes a man has to fucking leave......and leave his jacket too  |

Five Easy Pieces, which is regarded as their best film by many, looks comfortable at the moment in the lead.

Nicholson also has a cameo in Head which would be my vote |

Five Easy Pieces. By far the wildly overrated Nicholson's best performance; strong work.

I find most of his performances build to nothing. He just exhibits ham or his idea or charm, but doesn't dig deep and modulate scene to scene. I think of a "classic" like One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest and recall nothing about his work. |

So you'd say he's maybe more a great movie star (charm, screen presence, charisma for days) than a great actor? |

Nicholson commands a liminal space between actor, movie star, and cartoon. He was never cool enough to warrant the movie star appellation. Dude seemed to have a receding hairline in his youth. |

On the contrary young Redcoat - the 3rd act is what I criticized.........and that endng is nothing like Five Easy Pieces in that one involves criminality and one involves only an ethical choice.........if anything Eileen is closer to Stoker which also is not like Five Easy Pieces ........ Now you could say "child support" is criminal........but of a different sort and the character motivation to leave is not comparable ........ There is too much chocolate in the peanut butter or in the Yorkshire pudding so to speak   |
