It took like 5 years for people to realize Ledger’s joker was just a 1-1 Tom Waits impression, I’m excited for 2026 discourse to be all excited about the kid from Modern Family playing Joker and everyone realizing Phoenix’s Performance is just “Andy Kaufman”

The MSJ posted:There's like 4 kids in Modern Family now, you have to be more specific. Whichever poor bastard had to go through puberty on national TV while pretending Sofía Vergara was his loving mom. No way that dude doesn’t turn out a little unhinged

Sinteres posted:They are, but in the case of the Scorcese movies the comparison is unfavorable to Joker. I mean falling short of peak Scorcese obviously isn't the end of the world, since almost everyone will, but having seen the other movies reduces the novelty of Joker for sure. As for Kaufman, I think Phoenix is good enough that pointing out any inspiration doesn't lessen what he did. I genuinely think The Joker is a better movie than Taxi Driver, because I genuinely think that Phoenix is a better actor than De Niro. I just watched The Dark Knight last night because I miss Heath Ledger and while his performance was just as amazing as I remember, I forgot how bad everyone in that movie is except for Oldman. Eckhart is just screaming RACHEL half the time and Bale, whose moves once seemed so powerful and cool, moves like he is wading through Molasses. CelticPredator posted:So what It’s good! I think it’s a great choice!
