70 year-old Jack Nicholson is arguing that there isn't enough 'mature' sex scenes in movies. He thinks movies should contain wayyyy more scenes with middle-aged characters having sex. I'm going to have to disagree, thank you.
He told the Sunday Mirror: "I want to see more middle-aged sex on screen. It happens - I know it happens - so why not show it?
"There’s a scene in The Bucket List where my character comes out of the bathroom on his private jet with a beautiful woman. But I wish there’d been more - I hoped there was going to be.
I'd really rather not see him in any sex scenes, who wants to see a 70 year old hump a 25 year old? I mean seriously!!

Talk about TMI! 70 year-old Jack Nicholson pops Viagra in order to enjoy threesomes. He claims to only use the enhancement when he's having sex with more than one girl.
He told The Guardian: "I like to date a nice range of women each year, but I only use Viagra when I am with more than one."
Nicholson, who has five children with four different women, claims to have had sex with more than 2,000 women. I guess now we know what he does on his free time.

I enjoyed this film. Sadly, after I saw it, I went home and checked what other critics had to say about it -like I always do- and to my amusement, they hated it! "...terminally awful dramedy...," "superficial, manipulative, and schmaltzy...," "...strangely emotionless..." Are these people serious? This is why I love writing these "Criticizing the Critics" articles. Because I completely disagree, and I truly mean "completely." It definitely wasn't emotionless, it was not in any way awful... and superficial!... That's just ridiculous.
Corporate billionaire Edward Cole (no filmography necessary, Jack Nicholson) and mechanic Carter Chambers (also no filmography needed, Morgan Freeman) find themselves sharing a single hospital room, after the both of them are told that they have been diagnosed with a terminal illness. As Edward arrives -to his own hospital- he notices Carter (this stranger) in the bed next to him. Edward, annoyed that he has to abide by his own hospital rules, asks his assistant Thomas (Sean Hayes, Will and Grace) to do something about it. Edward continues to complain, ultimately to no avail. With nothing left to do, Edward and Carter begin to communicate, mostly around the times Carter is not watching Jeopardy, and annoyingly answering every question asked correctly. After a short time spent together, both their situations begin to get worse. Worried that neither have long to live, Carter begins making a list, in which he titles "The Bucket List." This "Bucket List" consists of all the things that a person would want to do before they die. After Carter nearly trashes the "List," Edward finds the crumpled piece of paper on the floor, and convinces Carter that they should follow it. Carter, not knowing initially how wealthy Edward is, agrees to the "List," thus beginning the trip of a lifetime for the both of them. In the process, as they one by one cross everything off the list, a friendship ensues. A bond that ultimately helps the both of them with the most important part of their existence... "find the joy in life."
I recently became aware that most critics are not big fans of Rob Reiner films. This baffles me! Mr. Reiner has been in the game for a long time, and even though, he has had some flops, the man is responsible in directing the greatest romantic comedy of all time, "The Princess Bride." If anyone disagrees with this, I will never take anything you say about a film seriously. Now, after I mention that I did enjoy "The Bucket List" and the wonderful acting by both Nicholson and Freeman, all that is left for me to do is remind you all how great of a run Mr. Reiner has had as a director... "This Is Spinal Tap," "Stand By Me," "The Princess Bride," "When Harry Met Sally," "Misery," "A Few Good Men," "The American President," "The Story of Us," and finally "The Bucket List," to name a few. I will give credit where credit is due, and this film deserves the credit that most critics failed to give it.

Everyone is still in shock over the tragic death of Heath Ledger. Here are some more statements from fellow friends and celebrities.
“That’s horrible…. I warned him!”
-- Jack Nicholson after hearing about the news from the paparazzi.
"Working with Heath was one of the purest joys of my life…He brought to the role of Ennis more than any of us could have imagined - a thirst for life, for love, and for truth, and a vulnerability that made everyone who knew him love him. His death is heartbreaking.”
--Brokeback Mountain director Ang Lee tells Us Weekly.
"He was such a special and genuine person, so extraordinarily talented because he was so raw and honest with his feelings…He was so full of life, so electric." He was "a sweet, smart and talented young man and had many friends. My heart goes out to his family. I am just beyond sad at this point, and shocked."
--Helen Christensen, who was on her way to visit him when she heard the news of his death, tells Women's Wear Daily.
"My heart goes out to Heath's family and friends during this time of great loss. I had the pleasure of meeting him a few years back and I can definitely say he had a wonderful career ahead of him. Undeniable talent and a loving new father. It's so tragic to see it all end so soon and sudden."?
--Rachel McAdams wrote on her MySpace page.
