Jack Nicholson uses movie clips to boost Clinton
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Movie star Jack Nicholson has assembled some of his more famous film roles in an Internet video endorsing U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton that has been viewed more than 1 million times.

The video uses clips of the three-time Oscar winner in movies like "Chinatown" and "The Shining" to praise Clinton's health-care plan and ability to lead the country at a time of war.

4. So you have a few sociopaths and a misogynist supporting Hillary?
Hey, I like Jack as much as anyone else does - but many of the characters that he plays aren't exactly the types that I'd want endorsing me, know what I'm sayin'? His character in A Few Good Men is the very personification of misogyny :hide:

5. I wonder why he didn't include the whole quote from "A Few Good Men"
Col. Jessep: There is nothing on this earth sexier, believe me, gentlemen, than a woman you have to salute in the morning. Promote 'em all, I say, 'cause this is true: if you haven't gotten a blowjob from a superior officer, well, you're just letting the best in life pass you by.

:shrug:

Of course, they left part of the quote out. x(

9. Which is unfair, since Hillary has NEVER given a subordinate a blow job.
As far as I know. :evilgrin:

18. OK then, it is funny how many of you choose to look up that line.
p.s. If you keep scrunching your face like that you will get wrinkles. ;)

20. Do you want me to look up some of the not so nice lines from The Shining?
:shrug:

(As for my wrinkles...politics gave them to me long ago! :hi:)

The insanity will come to an end relatively soon.

My husband and I were discussing that today marks 60 days from the Iowa Caucuses - ONLY 60 days! Seems like ages ago that we held our caucuses and yet (with all the fighting) seems like just yesterday!

23. Only because you asked
Here's a couple quotes from The Shining:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jack Torrance: Wendy, let me explain something to you. Whenever you come in here and interrupt me, you're breaking my concentration. You're distracting me. And it will then take me time to get back to where I was. You understand?
Wendy Torrance: Yeah.
Jack Torrance: Now, we're going to make a new rule. When you come in here and you hear me typing

Jack Torrance: or whether you DON'T hear me typing, or whatever the FUCK you hear me doing; when I'm in here, it means that I am working, THAT means don't come in. Now, do you think you can handle that?
Wendy Torrance: Yeah.
Jack Torrance: Good. Now why don't you start right now and get the fuck out of here? Hm?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wendy Torrance: Stay away from me.
Jack Torrance: Why?
Wendy Torrance: I just wanna get back to my room!
Jack Torrance: Why?
Wendy Torrance: Well, I'm very confused, and I just need time to think things over!
Jack Torrance: You've had your whole FUCKING LIFE to think things over, what's a few more minutes gonna do you now?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jack Torrance: Wendy.
Wendy Torrance: Stay away.
Jack Torrance: Darling. Light, of my life. I'm not gonna hurt ya. You didn't let me finish my sentence. I said, I'm not gonna hurt ya. I'm just gonna bash your brains in. I'm gonna bash 'em right the fuck in. Ha, ha.

25. Freaked me out - but not as bad as IT!
I had to quit reading/watching Stephen King stuff. I guess I became a scaredy pooh as I got older!
