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.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

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.

Oh, wow, forgot all about Prizzi's Honor. Awesome flick, Kathleen Turner at her hottest!!!

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.

    • I kind of like this interpretation especially if you think about it the unplayable rule would probably put you in a better spot.  using back on the line releief.  
    • I did not realize that, I was thinking a more traditional golf club.  
    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.
