Didn't we all. I was about 7 or 8 and I wanted the bitch dead. One of the great movie monsters, one of the real monsters, the scary ones, that walk amongst us. Testament to the acting skills of Louise Fletcher.

"Men at Work" - just some pranks!

Just a minor point; but you'll give your patient quite bad skin burns and impede the conduction, defibrillating them without gel or pads, possibly the least of his worries however. :)
But isn't it fantastic when Nicholson "watches" the game on the blank t.v. and involves the other patients, you are sitting there cheering but also really... really dreading the response.
Yes it is. Nurse Ratched didn't like that at all.
There are hilarious moments but also very sad ones; I remember the scene when Ratched made Billy to commit suicide.
Without "to". Amateur.

Johannes and Faramir - takes all sorts... and they're raving nymphos too; with a bit of luck.:wb:
Yes and I don't know why they left out the suicide of Cheswick in the film.The t.v scene is great, the patients for the first time stop being passive and safe and risk her wrath, it's so important in both the book and film,her power is under threat, it is the beginning of the end. Even with the terrible circumstances that occur, you see at the end of the film that her hold over them is diminished.She is broken.
Thing is though, I remember my placement in a psychiatric hospital (as a student nurse I should add) and almost to a fault, the psychie staff nurses and students all fancied themselves as lone rangers on the highway of anti-establishment, possibly as a result of that book/film,it was the eighties by this time though. But it was extremeley conformist and instituitionalised. The attempts were there to mimic life on the outside, but it was a horrible weird bad dream.The irony is everyone applauded the film, but when the decision to close those huge asylums took place, people were yelling about nutters running loose in the community. What a capacity for hypocricy.

Very noble research Johannes!:eek: :D.
I've read, that every single page you see on the table was typed, think he may have got someone else to do it though. He didn't want a blank page to show up as she rifled through the manuscript.
Was going to say guess the band playing, but perhaps there's too much of a clue I think?

I think it's because, deep down, people who think they hate Nurse Ratched really don't. What they really want to see is whether she's into the pork loaf.
And while we're on the subject of nurses...

Any suggestions?
