Caught a great movie on the tube yesterday. I've forgotten how great As Good As It Gets was.. is...

And it's not so much as Jack Nicholson's character nearly resembles mine.. It's the humanity in Simon, Melvin, and Carol that made me saw my own.. my own imperfections, my own prejudices and my own partialities

I liked how incredibly flawed, yet how incredibly perfect they all were. The characters like most of us live in a less than desirable world which most of the time doesn't always turn out the way we wanted them to.

"I might be the only person on the face of the earth that knows you're the greatest woman on earth. I might be the only one who appreciates how amazing you are in every single thing that you do, and how you are with Spencer, "Spence," and in every single thought that you have, and how you say what you mean, and how you almost always mean something that's all about being straight and good. I think most people miss that about you, and I watch them, wondering how they can watch you bring their food, and clear their tables and never get that they just met the greatest woman alive. And the fact that I get it makes me feel good, about me." Melvin to Carol, on how great he thinks she is.
