It ruled. Can't even tell right now why it appealed to me. It's a movie about a miserable prick, though beautifully realized.

That's the one with Nicholson right? Where at the end he leaves the broad at the gas station and hitchhikes down the road?

Nicholson put out some great performances before he started to become a parody of himself. Easy Rider, 5 Easy Pieces, The Last Detail, Chinatown. After Cuckoo's Nest he began to fall back on the wacko Jacko persona, but had a few movies where he broke the stereotype. The Pledge and About Schmidt are maybe his best roles in some ways because he's old and should be coasting like he did for most of the 20 years prior, but for some reason he decided to take the risk of being vulnerable and unlikeable in different ways in those films.

It's on my list of 70s flicks to watch.
Definitely watch another 70s classic... The Last Picture Show. It bothers me I waited so long to see it.

That one is great. Cloris Leachman is fantastic in it. Same with Jeff Bridges.

I'll go against the grain here and say I didn't like it. Performances were great and it's the type of movie I usually like but it just didn't click for me.

People say the same about Al Pacino and I think they are wrong in both cases. Shortcomings in the performances of those two I'd rather blame on the material. They certainly did shitty movies.

It's on my list. I just keep putting it off because I usually don't like movies about children and teenagers.

I said the same thing. I was told to watch when I was 15 and literally put it off for 20 years. I wish I hadn't.

Judging by your taste in movies I think you would really enjoy it.
