Jack on the wall

The last two and half days were so awful, and then this framed photo arrived via Fed Ex this afternoon. Talk about a radical mood swing and the kindness of strangers. An HE fan whom I don't know saw that post three or four weeks ago about that damaged print of Jack Nicholson and got inspired and threw this together with a glass cover and a classy wood frame and everything. It's now hanging on the den wall.


Thanks so much to everyone else who sent along cleaned-up JPEGs of the Jack shot, by the way. Sorry for not saying this earlier. This whole Jack-shot episode has been really beautiful.

It's those little touches of generosity that makes me hopeful for our future.

What a nice gesture! I know you want to keep the donor anonymous but, it's especially touching since you'd think Chris Albrecht would be too busy with other things right now.

That's the power of a rare Jeff Wells post with some positive thinking. I think everyone appreciated the Nicholson post because it suggested that Jeff isn't the Tinman he lets on to be. And. of course, we all love Nicholson.

By further extension, that gesture has touched me too. Thank you anonymous person, and Jeff for letting us in on his present.

Jack Nicholson, a well-known smoker of cigarettes. I can't even LOOK at him anymore.

Mystery retoucher, did you work off the 5000 pixel version?

Sure those were cigarettes that Jacks was smoking?

Sam Raimi had it done for Jeff. Told me that, once you include the FedEx charges, it cost $900. (Hey, it was either him or Eddie Murphy).

There are people in the world who like Jeff enough to do something like this? Huh, never knew.

Considering the amount of free floating hostility that is usually expressed on these boards, that is a very nice gesture indeed. Nice looking frame as well.
