Heath Ledger hates comic books movies other than Batman Begins? **** him, the Spider-Man flicks were awesome, the first two X-Men movies were very good.

Everything else has been pretty shitty, though, admittedly. ****ing Sin City.

 

[Shinobi]

She wasn't bad at all, but that was pre-Tom/Katie media cluster**** and his ****ing meltdown. It shouldn't matter but she'd be a complete distraction that the movie doesn't need at all.

Only a weak-minded fool let's outside shit distract them from enjoying a movie.

Of course if the person actually did something serious...like I don't know, rape a child or butcher someone to death, then I could see a legit reason to be distracted. But simply being a ****ing nut? Who gives a shit? Most of Hollywood is nutty as **** anyway.

My problem with her character was Harvey Dent should have been the assistant DA instead of her. She was assistant to the DA right?

I thought pretty much the same thing. It'd be kinda cool if her characted became two-face though :lol :lol :lol

 

[Callo Merlose]

Oh bullshit she was just fine in the movie.

I hate Dawson's Creek fans. Her acting belongs nowhere near the franchise.

 

[Sapiens]

They say you only get mad at the truth. You should mellow out.

you hate bale, fine, no need to post it once a day though -

 

[Shinobi]

I hate Dawson's Creek fans. Her acting belongs nowhere near the franchise.

Well that's okay...according to the haters her acting came nowhere near the franchise. :lol

 

[Ghost]

Anyone else imagine the Entourage Comicon Episode when reading ledger say its a clockwork orange like version of joker?



That show has made me wise to these actors games :lol

I've never seen a single episode of Dawson Creek jerkoff.

**** him, the Spider-Man flicks were awesome, the first two X-Men movies were very good.

Not if you like the comics.

 

[jett]

Batman Begins = real film

Spider-man/X-men/the rest = comic-book films

I disagree with Ledger's opinion, though. That certainly won't make him popular among the nerdcore. He better ****ing NAIL IT as the Joker.

 

[COCKLES]

More Joker airtime = less Bale

it's a win/win

"Don't sit there looking at it... EAT IT!"

 

[terrene]

Katie Holmes is back with apparently a bigger role you know, right? She is doing physical training for the movie including kick boxing. Implying she will fight in it.

Man, for some reason she really pissed me off in that movie. I just wanted to yell, "wipe that ****ing crooked-ass smirk off your face, or I WILL, BITCH!"

 

[CajoleJuice]

"Don't sit there looking at it... EAT IT!"

That combination of that quote with that pic is weirdly hilarious. It's like he wants him to eat the business card, when in reality...

 

[bjork]

you hate bale, fine, no need to post it once a day though -

I don't post it once a day. Only whenever there's a wankfest to this movie.

And I don't dislike Bale per se, he just sucks as Wayne and as Batman.

 

[Callo Merlose]

Moreso at Batman's voice.

Anger angst! Grrr, Napster bad. Fear the knight. Cowardly lot. Seriously, I don't know how they let him get away with that voice. sigh, I don't want to say this, but even Keaton's Batman was voiced better.

You don't want to say it?

 

[Callo Merlose]

No, I don't, which is why I typed it.

Shoot! I'ill say it. I f'n love Batman Begins but I'ill give props when it's due and Keaton voice as Batman is pretty badass without being forceful, he already has that low rough voice.

Infact I thought Bale would have stuck to the voice he used when he first confronted Gordon in his office which had that low rough intimidating thing going on already.

Also, I didn't mind bale's metal growl. I liked it.

I would have loved that. Batman's all about intimidation and fear. Alas, a convincing brooding voice akin to the one on the dini/timm series would have been too awesome for casual fans and the have to know that Batman is mean! Pyaw.

 

[Apharmd Battler]

I liked Bale as Batman. He sure was a HELL of a lot better than Clooney, Keaton, or Kilmer.

Yet he's not better than a cartoon version. That's sad.

"When he explained to me the angle he wanted to take, I was like, 'Yeah, I could do that,'" Ledger says. "[Nolan's] going to make it a lot more sinister, and we've got a little plan for him, but it's exciting. Any opportunity to don a mask is always exciting to me."

[BATMAN (1989)] was dominated by Jack Nicholson's acclaimed performance as the psychotic villain, but Ledger isn't intimidated by his predecessor's turn.

"I love, love, love what Nicholson did," Ledger says. "[But] his performance was catering to the style of directing the movie was made under. It was a Tim Burton film. It wasn't Chris Nolan."

More batmovie news!

Nolan Speaks about Ledger and The Joker

"He's just exactly the kind of energy I needed for the character...Everything about the risks that that performer is willing to take are the things I need for somebody to take on that iconic figure. It's going to be a huge challenge for us to create it, and he's exactly the guy you want to be in the trenches with."

"To be frank, I hadn't really thought about doing the sequel while we were doing the first one, but we wanted to end the first one with a sense of possibility. And, frankly, the dynamic of that scene and the sense of possibility that we tried to leave the audience with at the end of Batman Begins just stuck with me. And I felt it as much as I hope the audience did. So we really just want to carry on that story and see where it goes."

Nolan also commented that due to his work on THE PRESTIGE, he hasn't been able to focus on casting. However, the word is floating around the the part of Harvey Dent has been, or is close to being cast, and an announcement is coming soon.

Chris Nolan :rock

Phillippe Talks Dent...Sort of

Phillippe at the FLAGS OF OUR FATHERS press junket and asked him about the Harvey Dent rumors. Phillippe stated that he didn't know where these rumors came from but was certainly open to the possibility of playing Dent. He also praised director Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale saying "they're putting together some great people for it [THE DARK KNIGHT]." "At this stage, there's nothing," said the actor.

Going by that picture...I think Ryan Phillippe could very well indeed pull off Harvey. Now I'm interested in seeing Flags of our Fathers just to size up his current acting chops.
