Jack Nicholson Endorses Hillary Clinton

I know, you're probably thinking why is The Blot posting this? While this would normally mean nothing to me, Nicholson took his endorsement to the next level by releasing a really creative web ad on Saturday with help from director Rob Reiner. (link) The advertisement in support of Senator Clinton takes “a humorous collection of clips that put his support into the mouths of his most film famous characters.” (link) While the ad was done without the Clinton campaign’s endorsement, it is probably the best "Clinton for President" ad I’ve seen since her campaign started last year. The YouTube clip titled “Jack and Hill” uses scenes from many of Nicholson’s best performances from films including Batman, The Shining and A Few Good Men (and I think Chinatown and Easy Rider). Check out the ad for yourself and let me know what you think.
