In the pages of Wonder Woman, there are men and there are Gods. When speaking about the great Jack Nicholson, I believe one must refer to him as a God to fully appreciate his impact on film. He has starred as some of the greatest characters ever conceived in the medium. Some of those characters were heroes that you wanted to cheer for, but the reason Jack is my man crush is for his portrayals of psychopathic villains. After Jack famously played the role of Jack Torrance in The Shining, he was cast as The Joker in 1989's Batman. Now most will argue that Heath Ledger's Joker is better than Jack's, I tend to agree with this, but Jack's Joker was the best part of the first Batman film I ever saw. I remember watching it as a youth and thinking he had captured my favorite villain's goofy psychotic nature. His Joker was also the start of comic book movies casting big names as their lead villains. Just take a look at the deal Jack inked to play the Clown Prince of Crime. 10 million up front and a huge chunk of the backend of the box office. He ended up with more than 50 million dollars for one movie. So Robert Downing Jr. can thank Mr. Nicholson for getting a similar deal for The Avengers, in which he got upwards of 70 million dollars. Well anyway, thank you Jack for being "The Man", and if you are ever looking for a buddy to go to a Lakers-Celtics game with, I'm your man.

Character Crush: Spiderman
This week is Spidey Week so what better person to have my man crush be other than the Web Head himself. Spider-man truly holds a special place in my heart. He was the first super hero I ever really got into as a kid. I used to watch all his animated series shows and of course his movies. Lets talk a little bit why he's so awesome. First off, he can swing, climb walls, and has a spider sense that every one in the world would love to have. Adding to that, he can fight. His abilities allow him to accomplish great feats when it comes to combat. Overall though, he is just a fun guy. Seems like the guy you would want to be roommates with in college, or maybe hang out with at a party. I mean why not. Kid is a brain child, plus he's got a great sense of humor. All these make the perfect combination for a man crush and well deserved to boot! Oh and get out and see his movie this weekend. Give him the respect he deserves.
