Unfortunate, but we can agree to pretend that Bulworth was his last film, just like we all agree that Royal Tenenbaums was Hackman's last film, erasing from existence Behind Enemy Lines, Welcome to Mooseport, and Runaway Jury.Mattnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953654.post-13777978845639754682013-09-04T22:37:36.554-04:002013-09-04T22:37:36.554-04:00Wait, which is the one where he plays a crotchety ...Wait, which is the one where he plays a crotchety old guy whose libido is still running strong?

I ...I haven't seen a Nicholson movie in years. I saw As Good as It Gets, I think -- the one with Helen Hunt, though all of the late-period Nicholson movie titles run together for me. Before that, I can't recall whether Batman or Witches of Eastwick came later. So while I have very strong attachments to some Nicholson work (especially Chinatown, which is a masterpiece), the truth or falsity of this rumor won't affect me. <br />That said, and quite apart from the quality of his last decade of work, it would be a peculiar thing for anybody to begrudge a 76-year-old the right to devote all of his time (instead of just most of it, I guess) to the leisure of his choice.isaac_spacemannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953654.post-52368571072899381362013-09-04T21:09:57.045-04:002013-09-04T21:09:57.045-04:00For those (*cough* MANSQUADGER *cough*) who are in...For those (*cough* MANSQUADGER *cough*) who are interested in such things, Nicholson gives a great interview in the Roger Corman retrospective/biopick/thingie that came out a few years ago. On the one hand, he can't help joking that Corman could have made Easy Rider if he wasn't such a cheapskate. On the other hand, he winds up literally weeping with gratitude that Corman cast him in B movie after B movie for however many years so that he could eat while trying to make it in Hollywood.Phil_Throckmortonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953654.post-23539612560978560862013-09-04T16:57:20.980-04:002013-09-04T16:57:20.980-04:00FWIW, Maria Shriver says it's not true.FWIW, <a href="http://www.eonline.com/news/455243/jack-nicholson-not-retiring-from-acting-rumors-are-just-plain-cuckoo" rel="nofollow">Maria Shriver says it's not true</a>.Adam B.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953654.post-25836358042150010982013-09-04T16:56:17.111-04:002013-09-04T16:56:17.111-04:00Reds will always be one of my favorite of his perf...Reds will always be one of my favorite of his performances.
