i guess it was time for someone to break the streak of amazing jokers. romero, nicholson, hamill, etc. there was never a single best one, what with how different all their performances were. they were all excellent in different ways.

now leto gets to make his mark as the worst portrayal of the joker, hands down. i am pretty sure that the porn parody jokers are gonna look better by comparison.

i never saw that one and yes, he is pretty bad. but based on a single youtube clip, not spectacularly bad. just kind of dull and uninspired.

The acting category is voted by the actors. So the whole Hollywood is guilty of keep voting tranny, ho and cripple roles to win Oscar. My favorite is Charlize Theron won for being a super ugly ho.

I don't recall the exact phrasing but I heard one actress complain that the only way to win an oscar was to play a nun or a prostitute.

Spiner probably could have been a better Riddler for Young Justice. Him or Jeff Goldblum.

Jeff Goldblum for Riddler is what I'm saying.

I just saw Civil War and my review of it is basically that picture of chris evans laughing with his hand on sad ben afflecks' shoulder. Really great movie. Black panther was cool but they didn't really explain why he was able to do some of the poo poo he can do. I know he has a vibranium suit but he seems to be able to run as fast as bucky on top of having super strength too. he's definitely on something.

I think Black Panther being able to do superhuman things bounces between super science and straight up magic spiritual stuff.

Also Black Panther and the Wakandans are kinda assholes.

black panther is weird because on one hand wakanda's a highly technilogically advanced country due to being the world's only supply of vibranium but on the other hand it's full of literal spearchuckers (granted their spears can go through abrams tanks and poo poo due to the vibranium but still)

It's kind of like the sci-fi in WH40k where you're getting off a spaceship just to stab a tank with your sword.

With the advent of powerful and reliable firearms, hand-to-hand combat has become a rarity in warfare. Even when armies were in close order and armed with bayonets, a charge more often than not stopped short of stabbing distance and both sides preferred taking their chances firing from maybe a dozen feet away rather than get into a stabbing match, assuming one side or the other didn't break before getting that close. It turns out most humans would prefer not to feel the dying breaths of their fellow man on their faces as hot blood gushes over them. I can understand stabbing tanks though.

Hand to hand combat is frankly terrifying to imagine so I can't really blame someone from running from that. I recall seeing a documentary about the British fighting off "highland charges" and the stones it took to stand there and depend on the guy next to you to take care of business is just amazing.

his name is james. bucky was the insult, but it doesnt really work any more so everyone assumes it is a harmless nickname. if you ever time travel back to the 40's, youd better hope that no one calls you a bucky. like goddamn, that is some harsh language.

LOL I just saw some cracked article about failed movie projects and looked it up and it's true. Joseph Gordon Levitt and Neil Gaiman were making a Sandman movie but Zack Snyder convinced WB/New Line that the movie should be a roid rage superhero that punches all of his problems away.

So Levitt and Gaiman bailed and now Zack Snyder is pushing for a Sandman movie where he Shazams into a hulking meathead that throws buildings at people.

In a related story, Marvel's Captain America: Victory Lap opens Friday.

I was told the writing was really good in Sandman so I went and opened some trade once, and the lovely art made me close it after a quick flip through before I read anything. It was a bunch of brown blotchy poo poo and some scribbles. If I'm gonna pay for a funny papers book, I need to be able to stand looking at it, fellas. Glad to know the franchise is in good hands.

Maybe it was just the lovely volume where the artist was strung out on heroin or something.

I guess you were reading the last trade since the art from that is pretty well known for being awful or "Stylized"

I like Gaiman's writing so I'm glad at least his Starz American Gods adaption looks to be going down the right path.

Really The Sandman shouldn't be a movie, it should be a TV series on HBO.

My favorite story is that Neil was at a meeting in the 90s with a bunch of studio execs pitching a Sandman movie and one of them goes "Is there a central villain?" and when Neil said no, the guy just stood up and left :lol:
