Oregon State Hospital, the mental institution where “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” was filmed, is being demolished.
I don’t know why, but that makes me sad.
High time they tore it down… I worked there for a couple of years in the early 90s and the place was falling apart then. (creepy as hell, too!)
I hear you from a cultural perspective, but it’s in great disrepair and is physically dangerous to patients and staff.
Geez. You rip one hydrotherapy unit loose from the floor and throw it through the window, and next thing you know, they condemn the place.
That was you?
I was about to type “What? That was filmed in a hotel, wasn’t it?”, but then I realised that was The Shining.
I are dumb.
No, you just have problems with reality.
Nurse Ratched! Paging Nurse Ratched!
I saw the OSH just a few weeks ago, on a trip out west, and it looked pretty ratty. I can easily believe it’s due to be razed.
So off-topic you couldn’t nuke from orbit: I saw Bradley Whitford in a stage production of Cuckoo’s Nest, playing Billy Babbitt, my freshman year in college (he was a sophomore); even then I knew he was going to go far if he wanted to.
Jack Nicholson movies are interchangable.
By and large, yes. I’d love to see how Jack Torrance would have treated Carter Chambers.
Of course, McMurphy post-CCN would make interesting changes to other films (not in a zombie way, but in drooling passivity).
