In Reply to: I couldn't tell if Nicholson was playing the Joker again or playing George Carlin playing Jack Nicholoson. posted by sjb on October 17, 2006 at 21:13:00:

...is that Jack's very real Boston gangster, Whitey Bulger, was himself an almost bigger-than-life character.

-- Shot people at a favored spot and had 'em all buried there.

-- Kept young girls in basement captivity.

-- Prowled the streets openly.

-- Sold huge amounts of drugs but never known to do any.

-- Brother was longtime Speaker of the House (Dem, natch).

-- Had the head of FBI in Mass. on the payroll ("Zip" is currently serving a very long sentence).

-- Has been spotted in gay bars.

-- Has been seen in womens' clothes.

-- Tossed the owner of a liquor store out on his butt, taking over *immediately*.

-- Won the Mass. lottery. (Huh!)

In that context do you still find Jack's act extravagant?
