It's VERY dated but it was an immense turning point success in its day so if only for that reason it should be seen. <br /><br />Nicholson's other two horrors, The Raven and The Terror, were also directed by Corman and both costarred Boris Karloff. The Terror was partially directed by Francis Ford Coppola too and the leading lady was Jack's wife at the time. Not great films, very cheaply made but okay-The Raven has Vincent Price and Peter Lorre too. <br /><br />Hard to say which of those biker flicks is the worst but he has stupid names in both-in Hell's Angels on Wheels he's Poet and in Psych-Out Stoney.

I know of Nicholson's early career, but haven't explored it beyond this. I do want to see some of those bad biker flicks.

It was silly and playful in that 60's drive-in Roger Corman kind of way. I found it painless enough (I'm MUCH better with 60's/early 70's horror than anything after Friday the 13th) but I'll never watch it again. <br /><br />Nicholson made quite a few appearances in low-budget horrors in his early years (The Raven, The Terror, this) as well as some really appallingly bad biker flicks but work was work, he couldn't afford to be choosy until after Easy Rider. joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-84764448402998843412020-10-20T21:20:45.835-04:002020-10-20T21:20:45.835-04:00Ditto!Ditto!Dellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05634519605152190304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-44622165208645313772020-10-20T10:24:19.139-04:002020-10-20T10:24:19.139-04:00The original Little Shop of Horrors was weird in t...The original Little Shop of Horrors was weird in the best way. <br />I'm pretty excited for the news one that is supposedly in the works.ThePunkTheoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04160758248747313651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-35840521502575192832020-10-20T09:13:48.946-04:002020-10-20T09:13:48.946-04:00Hope you get to see it soon.

She plays a similar role in the <i>Horrible Bosses</i> franchise, especially if we had ScarJo as the patient. That might be too much for me to handle, though. Honestly, Edgerton would not be my choice for Seymour. I'd pick someone more obviously quirky - someone like Nicholas Hoult, Paul Dano, or Tony Revolori (The Grand Budapest Hotel.) Hopefully, the people in charge know more than me.Dellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05634519605152190304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-75695377080626447692020-10-20T03:10:16.645-04:002020-10-20T03:10:16.645-04:00I still need to watch Little Shop of Horrors, I re...I still need to watch Little Shop of Horrors, I remember the 80's one being on TV all the time and I never sat down and watched the whole thing.Brittani Burnhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07975067259283007280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-55108679615606374552020-10-20T02:55:14.339-04:002020-10-20T02:55:14.339-04:00I do want to see the original Little Shop of Horro...I do want to see the original <i>Little Shop of Horrors</i> w/ Jack Nicholson though I'm sure it won't be as good as what Bill Murray did. I know there's a remake in the works with Taron Egerton as Seymour, Scarlett Johansson as Audrey, and Chris Evans as the dentist although I would get someone else to play Audrey and have Scar-Jo 3:16 play the masochistic patient.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.com
