Nicholson is very loyal and generous to his friends, which is how he got stuck making "Man Trouble" as a favor to director Bob Rafelson ("Five Easy Pieces"). The pair teamed up again in 1997 to make the considerably better "Blood and Wine". It just occurred to me that Nicholson was sort of a dog trainer in "As Good As It Gets", too. He got it right the second time.

Eastwood has definitely paid his dues to the industry. I still recall his role as a lab technician with an elusive mouse in 1955's "Revenge of the Creature", mostly 'cause my lab tech bears a strong resemblance (not to the mouse). I really like what he did in "Unforgiven", turning the typical Western gunslinger hero upside down to give us the ultimate antihero (like a classic Greek tragedy). But that singing he did in "Paint Your Wagon", yikes! (and I have the vinyl OST).

Speaking of bad "singing", I am mortified that Warren Beatty wants to run for public office after doing "Bulworth". That movie made me think that Jesse Helms is really on to something worthwhile.
