Yeah, the backstory was apparently that it was just something the director overheard Snipes saying to someone else on the phone and asked him to say it in the movie.

As someone who has read a lot of doom comics, he is right. He is a corny joke character. I honestly thought that was the appeal.

You have that opinion based on reading Doom though. That's different. I do not agree with your assessment, but at least it comes from a book instead of your rear end.

Looks like someone doesn't understand method acting.

(I loving hate when people say that re: Leto's wacky antics getting ready to play Joker. When I think Joker, I don't think "handing coworkers weird poo poo" or "fedexing stuff")

Or sexually harassing women.

I know a few people who worked on Suicide Squad and everyone, and I mean everyone, was so sick of Leto's poo poo, but scuttlebutt around the set said that if anyone complained that was just a member of the crew they'd be fired on the spot because the production was heavily invested on Leto's Joker being a huge, break out hit that eclipses the Ledger one. But as I said, just a rumor, but I can see WB execs going "we need THAT" and encouraging the behavior.

I remember a report saying Ledger kept a Joker Journal with things that the character would probably find humorous. Like AIDS or Dead Babies.

But, like, it wasn't obnoxiously on TMZ as some kind of killer scoop. It was just prep work for Ledger.

Crew shouldn't complain about talent. They are their betters.

I'm sure their union crew would be just %100 ok with members being fired for filling grievance.

Not to get internet tough guy or anything, but if Leto pulled the poo poo he supposedly pulled on set outside of Hollywood he'd probably get glassed on day one.

I guess they could recast him as Two-face.

Maybe DC is hoping that by externalizing his method acting instead of internalizing it like ledger did, that leto won't end up committing suicide and they can make a sequel. Either way now the joker role has a stigma that isn't gonna go away soon

He sounds like a total loving rear end in a top hat though and I can't believe anyone put up with that poo poo

Dallas Buyer's Club was something like his 20th film over the course of about 20 years. He's an rear end in a top hat, his Oscar nomination validated that, but it didn't create it.

My experience is that most crew are fed up with talent's poo poo all the time, whether they vocalize it or not. It's an industry where you are openly and unabashedly treated as a second class citizen, given worse amenities, work 14 hour days, etc. while some jerkoff who had to memorize a couple of lines and look pretty gets waited on hand and foot.

Unless its Keanu Reeves, who took the massive amount of money he was paid to make the Matrix sequels and distributed it among the crew.

I love all the stories about Keanu Reeves. Dude sounds like the coolest man alive. If I remember right, there was even a story about how he found some dude's wallet and returned it personally.

Movie crews work on movies but nobody cares and everyone looks at their phone while their dumb names are up on the screen, waiting for the scene at the end where Captain America says something.

It's probably not very pleasant.

You know, if they did make a Sentry movie my dream would be that they make it solely a one off thing and because of that they get someone super high profile, like a Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt. Just to really sell the idea that this was THE Marvel hero.

There's a bit in the prose issue of Morrison's run where the Joker lists things he finds funny, and both of those wouldn't have been out of place.

Oh, I agree. It's very much darkly in line with the character. Especially with the Magic Trick scene.

I also appreciate that Ledger wasn't a goofy dickwad that thought mailing a package of "Dead Baby Aids" to his coworkers was :krad:

Brad Pitt could easily pull off playing Bob, and it'd be easy to CG him into Young Sexy Sentry.

They should call the Sentry movie, Sentry 3, and have Brad Pitt discuss the previous movies at length and how happy he is to finally finish this trilogy with his most defining character. Show clips of Sentry inserted into Avengers scenes.

Mary Sues are men more often than not. And jesus christ that issue should not be used in any context as a good characterization baseline for The Joker.
