Anything Goes : Jack Nicholson Retires? by Richard "RB" Botto

I think that just sucks. There's too much talent there to sit on the sidelines. I'm already missing you Jack.

No way. He's one of my faves.

No!! If this is true then "all PLAY and no WORK make Jack a dull boy." :(

I'll finally stop having nightmares. (never been able to watch another horror movie since watching him in 'The Shining' as a kid)

Brilliant, Andrea.

One of the greats.

,,,say it ain't so Jack. Love him. One of my all time faves!

One of my favorite Jack lines (from About Schmidt) "Dear Ndugu..." It slayed me. An audaciously funny line in a movie in want of humor.

He leaves behind a lot of great memories. My favorite character is 'The Joker' in the best Batman movie ever made. And my favorite line: "Where does he get those wonderful toys?".

Aw...Thanks Mark! I never saw About Schmidt. My favorite Jack line (and probably the reason for Lin Qwan (Dana)'s Shining nightmares): "Wendy? Wendy? Light of my life. I'm not gonna hurt ya. I'm just going to bash your brains in." I saw in the article he says he's suffering from memory loss (memorizing) - anyone else think that he'd probably be even more entertaining with that ailment?

I loved him in "Anger Management".

Thanks Andrea. I suspected some form of ailment was behind it. It sounds a little like the onset of Alzheimer's.

All the best to Giant Jack! He provided some of the most memorable character portrayals in film history and uttered many a-one-liners. His sparkling eyes, devilish smile and gravelly voice will remain iconic for generations to come. He touched a billion people with his vitality, light and talent. We'll miss you on the Silver Screen, Jack, don't think we won't.

Jack Nicholson - "We want him on that wall" - Best wishes to a true professional John H Parkes - Scotland

An absolute film Guru!
