I liked Greg Kinnear in Sabrina two years before he was in As Good As It Gets, but I agree he did an excellent job.

Shirley Knight played the grandmother. If you look at her bio you'll see she has done just about everything but never achieved stardom. She was a brilliant actress but never got her due. I remember her from TV days in the 60s through the 80s. She was beautiful when she was young.

Greg Kennear was great in that movie, too. If I remember right, it was his first big movie role and since I only knew him then from his TV stint on "Talk Soup" his performance just blew me away.

And then of course there was Nicholson--so far outside his usual schtick and he was brilliant. Yes, I definitely have to look that one up again.

I cried every time I saw that film, especially the parts exhibited here...this is before the whole damn idea of the ER became politicized!

Grandma is just the best in this! Cry and laugh at the same time.

Oh my baby boy is going to die..

I actually spent ten hours listening to debates on Youtube about God and stuff this week and damn!

Religion just damned women and still damns women. I mean mamas and grandmamas and aunts and...

And I aint even a real atheist.

Anyway, that movie received all the accolades long before I ever saw it on cable.

But when I saw it for the first time...well, I love Helen Hunt and that woman playing her mother!

the end

hahahahah

Well, of course everything here is worth savoring, but "As Good As It Gets". . . I haven't seen it for a few years now, but I've seen it at least six times and after watching those scenes, I'm going to go looking for it again.

Helen Hunt is that mother and her anguish represents every parent who has ever had to worry about whether their lack of money is hampering their child's care. Or, if their child is being cared for, what will it cost and how will they pay for it?

Every lofty lawmaker should be required to spend several hours of every day for at least two weeks in an emergency room. They should have to answer every parent who wants to know how they're going to care for their sick children when there is no money.

On your thoughts about the stoning incident: Maybe the passages were written by privileged men who wanted to convince gullible people that all adultery was a woman's fault. Sort of like today, only without the birth control. Unless you want to call stoning "birth control".

I don't have any trouble

I don't have any trouble wrapping my head around it. It has to do with the fact that a black man is going to get credit for it. The Koch brothers are also power hungry and John Bircher nutty.
