A Clockwork Orange (3 Viewers)

[Monkey Butler]

The name "A Clockwork Orange" comes from an old saying "That's as queer as a clockwork orange", meaning that something's really weird or unnatural.

Here's Johnny

Jack Nicholson pinched the "Here's Johnny" cry from the introduction from the USA Tonight Show run by Johnny Carson. At the start of each Carson show, the announcer would exclaim "Here's Johnny", and Jack decided to ad-lib this into the scene.

What's it going to be then, eh? I like the book ending; it was a novel ending. The film was excellent, but I'm a biased Kubrick fan so my opinion means jack shit.
