13. I have always admired Jack. I can't think of a movie he has bombed in.
The guy is one of my favorite actors, and his smile is priceless.

I'm just grateful he sees things the way I do, and not aligned with the far right Nazi party.

15. He's one of the very best, that's for sure.
He ALMOST sees things the way I do -- I'm not supporting Hillary, but this spot deserves kudos!

6. Hmm... a ragin' debate is going on at Huffingtonpost.... is it real or
is it satire or....?

I just thought it was odd. All the "characters" are pretty much villains.
Who'd want to be endorsed by these guys?
Then, I thought, but it's not really by Hillary's Campaign.
Then, I thought, but Jack did endorse Hillary.

So, now I'm just confused.
Because, darn... I really do love irony.
And maybe this one is just wasted on me?
Or am I campaign-fatigued and unable to see the joke?

Just dunno any more.

Whatcha think?

21. I hear ya
I watched it and thought: they have got to be kidding using such characters as jokers, villains, liars...

A Few Good Men is one of my all time favorite films but when Jack made that crack in the movie, he was being sarcastic as hell about Demi Moore's character.

This is just plain weird.

40. It's good support for Hillary, whatever it is. It's clever,
it's a good antidote to the Iron Maiden image Karl "Miss Piggy" Rove wants Hillary kept encased in -- pretty much explodes it, in fact. Karl must hate it.

8. Nicholson is still one of the coolest humans on the planet....
... and those clips show why.

So how is it that you could take some of the smoothest quotes from this awesome actor and make it ... this? Well, the "money money money" was appropriate enough. I got a bit squirmy with the harmonica playing the Battle Hymn of the Republic one note at a time, and I nearly stopped the silly thing when the full band breaks into it.

But, for the love of God! "There's nothing sexier than a woman you have to salute in the morning"???!!! :wtf: I've had my ears boxed multiple time for saying anything that could be contrued even to the slightest degree as sexist or even gender specific when criticizing Hillary. But she's now trying to convince us that a female leader is somehow sexy?

I want everyone who smacked me for my "sexist" comments to give me an apology.

12. Actually, the clip said that Nicholson approved the ad -
I don't think it said that Hillary did, unless the clip was cut off.

14. So where are the hordes of angry feminists kicking Nicholson's nuts into his mouth?
Oh, wait. I know -- gender-specific comments are not allowed only if they cast your person in a bad light. When it's possibly a compliment, it's okay, even if it is sexist.

42. Nothing sexist about what he said. But you have some funny notions of what
feminists do, dude. (Or dudette, as the case may be . . . .)

16. Is everyone forgetting?
Is everyone forgetting that Jack's character in "A Few Good Men" was a disgusting pig of a man?

His character was trying to emasculate the man, not pay tribute to the woman.

To me, it's a creepy spot.

17. Hey, bud, he's an actor. Sometimes you play a part that
doesn't reflect you. That's why it's called acting.

19. Hey, bud...
("Hey, bud" - that's not condescending or anything)

The spot uses the actor PLAYING THE PART as the person DELIVERING THE MESSAGE.

It's a crappy spot and you all know it.

22. exactly
A Few Good Men is one of my all time favorite films but when Jack made that crack in the movie, he was being sarcastic as hell about Demi Moore's character and by extension WOMEN in higher command. It was definitely anything but complimentary.

Totally weird ad with jokers, villains and liars...

24. Jack Nicholson added humour and lightness to the ad - of course he's taking the clips...
...all out of the original context to make a very enjoyable montage.

A lot more fun than the average endorsement ad, that, lemme tell ya!

26. I guess if you support Hillary
but knowing the context of those characters, makes the ad just one more 'kitchen sink' item to me and not a good one at that.

I enjoy Jack but this ad for Hillary I found to be totally weird

31. having a sense of himor has nothing to do with it
A Few Good Men is one of my all time favorite films. But when Jack made that crack about 'nothin' sexier...' in the movie, he was being sarcastic as hell about Demi Moore's character and by extension WOMEN in higher command. It was definitely anything but complimentary.

It is a totally weird ad with jokers, villains and liars... asking people to support Hillary.

She's really pathetic to stoop to this... by any means necessary...

Edited on Sun Mar-02-08 11:04 AM by libbygurl
Just continue with the slinging of the word 'pathetic'. It's not going anywhere.

thing, actually.

Angelica Houston and now Hillary. He's not afraid of the smart and strong ones. Is he? This is my favorite actor and he keeps getting better.

34. I think it's a terrific ad
and I'm for Obama!

I don't think the context of the original statements in their movie settings have anything to do with this message. He's using lines that fit. And it was done very well.

But I still prefer Obama!

Too bad Hillary is going to get spanked on Tuesday by Obama. Just like the Celtics are going to spank your beloved Lakers in the NBA Finals. :spank:
