Not that anybody should be listening to the guy, but Jack Nicholson is in this month’s Esquire and he wants you to know that “This is not the time for civil rights. There are larger issues for Americans.” A page later he alleges himself to be a “liberal Democrat,” and claims he’s “grown out of talking like I know something when I don’t.” That’s nice, but I wish it had happened a page earlier. The reward for slogging through Hollywood’s creepiest senior citizen (that isn’t Joan Rivers) is a very cool piece on Christopher Reeve, in which he says some highly interesting stuff about Nancy Reagan and stem-cell research.
