Lady T, thank you for posting the final spoon scene, both Nic and Eva Mendes are fantastNIC, it is such a tender scene amidst chaos. Nic is so there with his whole being in the first one, look at his eyes, it's stunning.

It may be just my mind but i read into the whole spoon thing a drug related subtext, a spoon dirty not because it had been burnt cooking up heroin, which he tragically became addicted to, but something that stood the test of time the spoon symbolised the innocence and freedom of imagination, childhood, that kind of free self before the debris of life begins to addi its layers over you...and the transcendent love of Terence and Frankie.

The  scene I posted and the one you posted here Lady Trueheart, where Nic says "I just love it" are the two moments in with film when I was kind of catapulted onto a differet reality, in a good way. i am not gonna get these words right, but there was something hyper real about it, seemed naturalistic in a kind of bizarre context, and it was almost as if Nic was adding another level, as if he himself was turning to the camera to say "I love it, I  just love it", it was almost documentary style. ( and it was funny too..worked on lots of levels! ) To me both scenes were so... so clear... i a m using that as more of a poetic adjective, i can't quite get the words... it was like crystal, like my vision went sharp or something.

Thank you for sharing Lady T, we often seem to be on the same page on many things.

perhaps this is Nouveau shamanic in action?? it is a little like going through a window into another dimension....you know, like those moments in life where it is as if there is a literal tear in the fabric of life, almost as if the air in front of you has been cut with scissors and you step through ( albeit in your mind) into another reality. it is a moment like that for me!

Shamans teach us that we have the power to create alternate realities, as co-creators with God/the Universe, and to share these realities with others if they wish to join us. A good shaman is hard to find, and a hard shaman is good to find (couldn't resist - I was getting way too serious!). Just read the pickle thread, which had me giggling again...

It`s really a lovely scene! It`s like, if he is telling something from his own, personal memories. Like, that part with the "special place", his "castle". Or, when he imagined stories in his fantasy. That`s so wonderful! Thank you for posting this scene from BL:POCNO, Lula.

Nic does enjoy working with Eva Mendes and they do have amazing chemistry on screen.  I've always thought this.

My favorite scene though, in Bad Lieutenant is not with Eva and though I've said this before in another wonderful thread posted elsewhere... my alltime favorite scene.... 

To The Break Of Dawnnnnn Baby!

Another great scene from the movie, Gina, I love it too. Just thinking as I watched it now that it is quite a scary scene too the way Nic plays it.
