    • Trivia
      At the end of production, to congratulate him for completing his first movie, James L. Brooks received a book of "Life in Hell" cartoons, drawn by Matt Groening. Brooks was so impressed that he asked Groening to create cartoon shorts for The Tracey Ullman Show (1987), which led to The Simpsons (1989).
    • Goofs
      About 20 minutes into the movie, Jack Nicholson falls out of the car, drunk, on the right side of his face. When he gets up, a wound is on the left side of his face.
    • Quotes

      Aurora Greenway: Excuse me. It is after ten. Give my daughter the pain shot, please.

      Nurse: Mrs. Greenway, I was going to.

      Aurora Greenway: Oh, good, go ahead.

      Nurse: In just a few minutes.

      Aurora Greenway: Well, please - it's, it's after ten. It's after ten. I don't see why she has to have this pain.

      Nurse: Ma'am, it's not my patient.

      Aurora Greenway: [increasingly hysterically] It's time for her shot! Do you understand? Do something! All she had to do is hold out until ten! And it's past ten! She's - in pain, my daughter's in pain! Give her the shot, do you understand me?

      Nurse: You're going to behave...

      Aurora Greenway: [at the top of her lungs] Give my daughter the shot!

      Nurse: [walks away to give Emma the shot]

      Aurora Greenway: Thank you very much. Thank you.

    Terms Of Endearment 2018
    It's often a strange experience to revisit a film that made a big splash decades earlier. I remember enjoying it enormously and enjoyed it enormously again last night but the reasons for the enjoyment have changed. The film as a film has remained solidly planted in 1983, specially the score but what will lead this film into the forever ever are the writing of course and the performances. Shirley MacLaine's truthfulness warts an all is a work of art. She is present one hundred per cent of the time and let's remember, Shirley MacLaine didn't start as an actress, she was a dancer who became a star thanks to a twist of fate and she has remained there as an example of honesty and courage ever since. Her Aurora in Terms Of Endearment is a monumental treat. Debra Winger's performance is a revolution of sorts. Every detail confirms and/or challenges our feelings for her but she's never less that one hundred per cent truthful. It's impossible not to love her even if she doesn't make it easy for you. Jack Nicholson is a terrific interference and every one of his moments have a pleasure of their own. So, a 35 year old movie with a teenager's heart.
