Watched Fargo a few days in (belated) anticipation of the TV show. Started a bit slow, but I really liked it after they introduced Margie. Really funny. And those accents, man...

Was that your first time watching it?  I recently saw it for the first time, and thought it was pretty good as well.  What accents? ;-)

The same kind as when you watch The Departed.

Yeah, first time. Holds up really well for 1996.

Fight Club is one of the few movies I saw more than once in the theatre. Loved it.

I'm halfway through the second Hobbit movie. I'm not really enjoying it so far.

The Hobbit movies are weak, I agree. Bogey with a 15 foot putt to save... LOTR are birdies, BTW.

The Hobbit movies aren't terrible, just overly long and drawn out.  Although I loved the bit with the dragon and the dwarves.  Tauriel?  Legolas?  You're grasping, PJ.

Stepbrothers was added to Netflix Canada recently.  Some parts of that movie still make me giggle as much as the first time I saw it.  Easy birdie for me.

I thought they were alright if you don't compare them to lotr which is hard not to. I find they try to be too funny

The funny thing about The Departed is all the leads trying to do a Boston accent and you had JN talking like...JN.

Jack used a Boston accent in Departed. A bad one, but he used it. Who cares though! He's Jack Nicholson! Great in pretty much everything. I watched the Shining the other day, and the scene where he talks to Lloyd the bartender the first time is absolutely outstanding. One of my favorite little scenes in all of cinema. I love how he delivers each line.

This scene plays better within the flow of the movie. Still love it though.

Worst Boston accents in a movie were Diane Lane and Mark Wahlberg in the Perfect Storm .  Christ Markie Mark, your from Dorchester!  At least Diane had an excuse.

Never saw "The Shining" all the way through yet. Though I really liked the "Departed". I am ok with Jack as an actor, I think he's a bit strong handed from time to time. To me his best roll was in "As Good as it Gets".

"The Shining" is a GREAT movie! Strong handed is kinda Jack's calling card! He made "ham fisted" cool.

Sorry, but this is a hilarious statement.  I know it's an opinion, but if you thing his best role is in "As Good as it Gets", you need an education in Jack Nicholson.  Decent movie, but light years away from his best performance.

Every single one of these is better than "As Good as it Gets"::

Five Easy Pieces

One Flew Over the Cukoo's Nest

East Rider

The Shining

The Last Detail

Prizzi's Honor

Chinatown

Terms of Endearment

Batman

About Schmidt

The Passenger

The Pledge

The Crossing Guard

Those are just off the top of my head.

Well, since I have seen ONE of those movies, of course I would think his best would be the ones I have seen him in. Kinda makes sense right? ;-)

Like I said, I am not a big Jack Nicholson fan.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
