Oh grow up you. Manifesting is a LIE, PR bubble of nothingness, big wordsalad that is sold at industrial scale to naive fools like you. People don't manifest illness, war, misery, abuse, starvation... You wanna think you're in control, go ahead. Wait till life suprises you. Look around, and think how much of this is ''manifested'', did I manifest lifelong illness, tell me? Do you not realize how callous this ridiculous belief is?

Fun fact is that every time Jack Nicholson won Oscar, main actress also won Oscar. Louise Fletcher in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest Shirley MacLaine in Terms of Endearment and Helen Hunt in As Good as It Gets.

The death scene in terms is simply one of the most amazing scenes in cinematic history. From the "look" from Debra to the background music even. But, the interaction between Shirley and Jeff in the scene is what does it for me. Throughout the movie their characters relationships with each other was tumultuous but yet they hugged still. Man this whole movie is something else indeed.

Shirley MacLaine's character in "Terms of Endearment" was eccentric, with any number of unpredictable characteristics and foibles that had to be played convincingly. Her role as Aurora was much more of a challenge than Debra Winger's role as Emma. I would imagine that Shirley's brief moment with Debra as she headed to the podium to accept her Oscar was one in which she graciously acknowledged how close the vote between them must have been. I was surprised to recall that this was Shirley MacLaine's only Oscar for Best Actress. She certainly deserved one earlier on, particularly for her performance in "The Apartment".

Both performances were wonderful. Even though I wasn't a fan of hers beforehand, Shirley's performance was so earnest I thought for a solid two hours that she was my actual mother. Not only did I think that Debra was beautiful but this was the first performance of hers that I had ever seen, and her performance was so adorable that she melted my heart and made me fall in love with her (I often joke that she probably has a 3D printed copy of Shirley's Oscar at home).

Shirley Maclaine's performance, without fail, brings me to tears. Some say 'Terms of Endearment' has not aged well, and I say they're crazy. James L. Brooks understands the human condition better than most directors.

You, Shirley MacLaine and Jack Lemmon both deserved to have Oscars in the wonderful story of "The Apartment". You had to wait a little but yes you deserved it for TOE! It was the first videotape I rented from the local store some years after the theatrical release and was touched. Carry on entertaining us please.
