I like the film “As good as it gets”.
I thought the film, “As good as it gets” was very good.
I didn’t watch the film… I couldn’t watch the film for 7 years……

Was it because I found Jack Nicklesons character so ugly?

Perhaps a little.

Truth is it reminds me of myself…. It’s like looking in the mirror (not physically), it is like watching me & the ugly things about me. I’m a writer, I like to lock myself away, I get very grumpy when I’m disturbed… especially if it’s unexpected.

I know the ocd, the not treading on the cracks, the washing, the having to touch an object twice…. I know these symptoms. Thing is with the ocd, I recognise it’s there, but I manage to annul it, I think about other things, I block it out.

I’ll say rude things, I’ll blurt out something rude, because I don’t know what to say.

I get on with my life.... cos there's no other choice, because what if "This is as good as it gets!" :D

I really liked that movie too!
I just realized reading your post that I never thought there was anything wrong with Jacks character I have always view everyone as different the good the bad the weird. That was just their personality.
Myself my family and friends are usually eccentic people. Many are artists and just different.

I was thinking about the movie Hours, it is really kind of a sad movie. There was a part where Meryl streyp (sure I did not spell that right) is talking about how she awoke one morning and felt different about everything and thought "Oh My this is the beginning of Happiness" She states later I realized that was happiness for that moment. Kind of like "as good as it gets"
