me too. terms of endearment based on a book adapted and directed by james l. brooks, it made you cry. it made you laugh. it was the stuff of life. sherley plays aurora, gets involved with an astronaut played by jack nicholson. fly me to the moon! they just had this incredible comic chemistry. it s not my fault, but i m sorry. if you wanted to get me on my back, you just had to ask me. terms of endearment may be the first dramedy. it s a word we hear all the time, a movie that s funny and tragic at the same time. time for her shot. all she had to do was hold on until 10:00. she s in pain! get her the shot! do you understand! give my daughter the shot!
