9. Whenever I see Nicholson...
...I always think of that "little red beaver" line towards the beginning.

The grin on his face was too convincing for me to think he was acting. :silly:

10. I can see that expression in my mind: a classic
here's some trivia for you - in that scene he is talking to Dr. Spivey, who was played by a real doctor named Dean Brooks (this was his only film role); here's his bio from IMDB:

Dr. Dean Kent Brooks M.D. was born in Everett, Washington in 1916. He was the head of the Oregon State Hospital in 1975 when the film One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) was filmed there. He starred, surprising enough, as the head of the psychiatric hospital in the film, "Dr. John Spivey M.D.".

He attended the University of Kansas Medical School in Kansas City, Kansas and graduated from there on the 1st of June 1942. He was first licensed in Oregon to practice Psychiatry on the 21st of January, 1950. He retired from the practice of Psychiatric Medicine on the 31st of December, 1999. During the filming of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", he diagnosed actor William Redfield (who played psychiatric hospital patient "Harding") with Leukemia (this was long before the days of bone marrow transplants), and gave Mr. Redfield 18 months to live (he died 18 months later, pretty much to the day).

He never had a single complaint filed against him in his long and distinguished career as a Psychiatrist.

11. I've got lupus and they're always dicking with my meds
Okay, the meds I'm on have nothing to do with mood or serotonin levels, but my body often feels like it belongs to someone else. I can relate. I'm glad you got your meds back. Stability rules!
