Nighthawk

That's a good way to get yourself killed. You know I could hate every single human being on the planet for something that's their own fault.

Doubly funny, because I've known people who refer to the show as "Bart Simpson".

It's the same way I get brought up as a pervert when I'm not even interested in threeways anymore. Take that shit out on niskie. My health is miraculous. I think if I followed some sort of diet and exercise plan, I'd be a superhero. You know, instead of a supervillain. I am able to maintain pescatarian for a couple months at a stretch. I could very well be sterile for all I know. I don't care either way.

Did you guys know EL BRUJO and I text each other Simpsons quotes every single day? Today's selection: Me: "Mr. Burns, did you honestly think I'd mistake the towns most prominent 104 year old man with one of my elementary school students?" Him: "I'll kill dat Mr. Burns! And, uh, wound dat Mr. Smithers." Yesterday: Me: "I wonder if this Homer Nixon is any relation." "Unlikely sir. They spell and pronounce their names differently." Him: "But Marge, valets! Maybe for once someone will call me sir, without adding 'You're making a scene.'" My favorite season is four or five.

Yes.

I'm merely using a lot of references, here and in real life. I'm embracing the fact that I am, essentially Juno Plainview as played by Heath Ledger as the Joker. Why fight it? It's who I am. The Simpsons just happens to be my biggest treasure trove. It's like this big... thing of riches.

WHO SENT YOU?! APOLLO?! ATHEENA?!?!

Lame pick, man. Ain't gon' let no bitch hit me.

I don't know anything about you... Czech gave me a bunch of crap about not listening to him or something, I don't know, I wasn't really paying attention.

My bullshit is not pathetic, fuckscum.

The Three Stooges They're theatrical shorts, but if Looney Tunes is eligible, so is this.

Actually some fat people are pretty cool. Biggie Smalls... John Candy... John Belushi... Fat Mike... I guess it's just fat chicks everybody hates. Even then, I like Mary Jo Pehl.

I thought the problem was with "the greatest movie villain ever in this movie". Like he could be a movie villain in a book? Greatest movie villain... I dunno, Dracula. Nosferatu, Lugosi, Christopher Lee... Gary Oldman. Take your pick.

That's more reason TO hate. That's why I hate fat people, drug addicts, uh... deists. Teenagers. Assholes. I used to be all those things.

I didn't think I'd really answer it, but the truth: & Cooler than the rest of the thread combined.

I am just really not feeling the impossibility to recast. At all. It's just not that untouchable, and the Joker is such a versatile character. Hell, I thought Heath Ledger was an awful choice. They could cast, I don't know, Hugh Jackman or some fucking thing and come out of it with everybody saying "Heath who? Fuck that guy!" Let them cast it or not, I also thought Aaron Eckhart was a bad choice, they clearly know what they're doing. Here's my fantasy cast for Batman 3: Dark Knighter: Jack Nicholson as the Joker Michael Cera as Dick Grayson Jonah Hill as the Penguin I actually do like the idea of Javier Bardem as Bane, though. But seriously... I'm liking, more and more, Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine in this. Obviously they're good actors, but they're providing some respite and grounding in such a grim story. This is totally the Empire Strikes Back of a fantastic crime noir series, I will not stand here and see Heath Ledger made out to be some golden god.

He's fucking dead, it's not like he just turned the role down. I'm telling you, man, Johnny fuckin' Depp. Who's gonna hate on Johnny Depp? And DDL would just do it good enough that you couldn't hate. But whatever. This is recasting for a bit part anyway. Hell, have Jack Nicholson do it. That would be clever.

Filthy habit. If you want a buzz, man up and smoke crack.

Sometimes you just say a thing like that to be nice.

I agree, but since he's dead, he might get a pity nomination unless there's a lot of stiff competition (pun intended).

I'm holding it right up there with DDL as Daniel Plainview and ironically Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman as one of my favorite acting jobs ever.

I say that's bullshit. There's no definitive Joker, he's written tons of different ways. Just get a really good actor who isn't afraid of it. I see where the "you can't recast" crowd is coming from though.

I wanted that fat bastard to play Dan Dreiberg in Watchmen, actually.

That was out long ago. But the price might go down... good, because I want it.

Was talking to an old lady on the bus about this, she said it legitimately disturbed her, even though she thought it was good. Me too, sort of. Kinda like Daniel Plainview, the Joker here kind of freaks me out by relating to it too much. I still love both those movies. As such, I'm sort of warming to the idea of the Riddler. You know, I want it... good. But maybe not quite so dark, cause I don't think that's possible. Still, though, do Bruce Wayne: Murderer?, they set it up well.
