“There are many directors in the middle range who've made mostly successful pictures, and then there are a few great directors who've had some successes and some failures. I suppose my life would be smoother if I wasn't almost totally enamored of the latter category.” IfsMadeWould BeSuccessfulMiddleDirectorsRangeLatterCategoriesEnamored Author:Jack Nicholson
“Usually, those people don't even like actors and they can't wait until they get in the cutting room. They kind of break down in categories: directors who like to be surprised and some of them abhor being surprised.

“Given that most movies are bad, and that there are whole categories and sub-categories of badness - the sequel, the Madonna Movie, the Friday 13th Series, or Movies Starring John Travolta Before Pulp Fiction - it is almost impossible to choose a single film for worst movie of all time. But strangely, I do have a nomination and I believe it is actually the worst movie ever made. It is Boxing Helena. The director is David Lynch's daughter, and the film comes with the almost insane-making faults that the family connection might imply.” BelieveMadeWholeMightFilmGivenI BelieveFictionImpossibleWorstDirectorsDaughterConnectionsFaultsSeriesInsaneAll TimeMade ItBoxingCategoriesFridayMovie StarSequelsNominationsBadnessPulpWorst MovieFamily Connections Author:Andrew O'Hagan

Jack Nicholson has made a career out of doing this sort of thing, as did Paul Newman, as did Marlon Brando (who the other two learned it from), but they didn't do it all the time and they were more fun to look at... Lars And The Real Girl joins a number of other recent films in the category of motion pictures where the director doesn't know that his protagonist is unsympathetic.” PeopleIfsKnowsLooksMadeTwoIdeasRealMatterFilmGirlFunWaitingNumbersActingCareersDirectorsBeatsSevenCategoriesDelayRemarksReactingProtagonistsMotion PicturesBrandoNewmanNicholsonTicsUnsympatheticReal Girl Author:Joe Queenan
