I'm sorry but you addressed everyone that agreed with thedoctor and G-Man that your "T&A" comment was ridiculous.
And you still come back with Kathy Bates being fine when we have constantly said, it should be a combination of acting and looks, which you have either ignored or you think Kathy Bates is hot.

And then I spose you did address things to me, when you got all butt hurt about the photoshop.

The Halle Berry joke was and is funny, because many of us found it funny.
Sorry you did not, but thats what makes it now even funnier.

Sorry you have lost your sense of humour has gone the same way as your hair.
Does this mean we are in for one of your annual posts about what is wrong with this board?

Maybe he'll quit the board and join the insurgency board again....oops...maybe not....

Yer still bald and gay!

I like the civil discussion in JLA's thread.

Y'know who'd make a good Catwoman?

Tyler Perry.

the dude from Riptide?

No, the guy from Aerosmith

Your bra-bomb had better work, Nerdlinger!

isn't it possible that the talents behind the film (nolan and crew) could craft an otherwise bubble-gum actor/actress into a believable role? i mean, how excited were you guys about heath ledger's films and acting ability prior to the joker? (g, was he on nicktoons?) he wasn't an unknown before that, he was shit before that!

yes, the halle berry catwoman film was atrocious. filled with shit and so much more. but the schumacher batfilms were, too. uma thurman as poison ivy, no fun. uma thurman as kill bill? at the very least, a believable improvement (though not hot)

so maybe eva mendes or jolie would turn out as a shit choice, who knows. but i dont think its a foregone conclusion that the movie / role would turn out bad, with the side bonus that, hey... at least there's t&a.

NERDLINGER!

I also believe that with right script and a genius director they can make any actor look good even bad ones. These guys are damn good at what they do so I'm sure it will be good no matter who they choose. I could see them picking Johanson since Bale and Nolan worked with her on the Prestige. He likes to stick with what he knows sometimes.

if you know what he means

tits.

and a!

Ben Browder should play Catwoman!

he was the bomb in phantoms

Two words: Katie Holmes.

I like the fact Rob is trying to deny that he loved Brokeback Mountain!

valid. she was teh shit. but also not hot, so she had zero value! (when i saw the movie in the theaters with my father, even he turned to me and said bruce wayne should be doing way better)

but i think katie holmes had the same "shit potential" gamble going into the film as, say, heath ledger.

i've enjoyed all your films, nowie.

Yeah rob, we got that already.

From what I understand, Ledger, while making run of the mill Hollywood fodder, was also well known and respected for his indy work as well. The Brothers Grimm, Monster's Ball, and Brokeback Mountain are all movies that he received great reviews and acclaim for.

Yeah! A million different daddy stories, but not origins.

"i can live with [that]" isn't exactly excitement about the casting. at best, its mediocre pre-praise of a part that turned out to be amazing. which, really, is just an extension of the mentality that something that seems out of place and destined for terrible can surprise you with the right direction, script, and performance.





monster's ball also won berry an oscar ...which didn't translate to her catwoman performance.

Because it was all T&A.

i looked at them as similar notions, i.e; "i act like this because, one day, something fucked up happened."

didn't explain the white skin, i guess, but the cracked persona would fit in.

especially the european version

Nah, it was pretty common family abuse stuff, from what I recall. He was just using that to get Harley's sympathy. I believe he also told a happy story about the one time his dad took him ice skating or something.

Is that the one where she backs into Stonehenge with her car and knocks it down like a buncha dominoes?

No, that was the one where his dad takes him to a circus and laughs at the clowns, so Li'l J puts on his dad's trousers and pratfalls, tearing the seat of the pants, and wakes up 3 days later in the hospital after his dad kicks the shit out of him.

I think the Red Hood, regardless of what happened before it, is Canon -- that shitty 60's storyline with the new process to restore the original color to burned fibers, Robin breaks his finger and has his whole arm in a cast and burns the hair from the Hood, then it comes back green, so they figure the new thing don't work, then we find out at the end Joker is in a barn and laughs, telling them Hey he IS the Red Hood! Whatever he was before then, that's when he became Joker.

The Red Hood stuff is the Silver Age origin of the Joker. Moore played off of that for The Killing Joke, but still leaving it open to be true or not. I, as I've said, interpret it as another of Joker's fabrications.

But I thought Batman remembered that bit too, even in Killing Joke. I might be wrong.

There's always the B:TAS origin too, where he was a thug. Or the one from Case File (Bat:B&W Dini and Ross) from Harley's perspective... I forget that one exactly.

Bats doesn't remember it in Killing Joke, he does in a later story that makes the mistake of acknowledging the wife story. But it's not Moore, so I don't care. The Bat-Man sucks.

I like the part in Mask of the Phantasm where they see Joker's old thug picture and paint the smile on. Darkwing Duck!

hey kids look, parliament, big ben

aye. the "(gary) abusey" kinda stuff was all what lead to the joker's current character persona, at least according to the stories.

No, shut up.

maybe you are, mxy
