^stopped clock, right

retroactive Oscar for Jim Carrey's Riddler plz

Dr Morbius, Friday, 19 December 2008 17:22 (fifteen years ago) link

morbs, the thing is, i am nearsighted, don't play video games, and can happily sit thru any manners of films, and i could still follow what was going on in the action sequences in these movies.

retroactive Oscar for Jim Carrey's Riddler plz

^^^^ kiu :D

the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Friday, 19 December 2008 17:22 (fifteen years ago) link

The point of the Joker isn't that he's funny and if that is your only metric for measuring his performance, you don't actually understand the character; even super-hammy Jack Nicholson's Joker was more than "haha I'm crazy".

Also, Ledger's Joker is often hilarious in the movie and most of his funniest scenes come about in direct contrast to other things happening in the movie.

retroactive Oscar for Jim Carrey's Riddler plz

I liked Carrey's Riddler but this is really fucking wrong.

really do think everybody should watch this clip mark hamill >>> all yall

Dr. Yakubius (and what), Friday, 19 December 2008 17:23 (fifteen years ago) link

haha the pencil scene was hilarious to me btw and also yeah if you are just watching batman for lolz then that is fair enough but again this falls under what i said to tuomas: what do you think these characters are exactly, and is it fair to fault films because of something they're not actually TRYING to be?

"Also, Ledger's Joker is often hilarious in the movie and most of his funniest scenes come about in direct contrast to other things happening in the movie."

youtube or gtfo, all the shit people told me was funny wasnt funny whereas im l-a-f-f laffin right now thinking about "he's at home WASHIN HIS TIGHTS!!!!"

Dr. Yakubius (and what), Friday, 19 December 2008 17:24 (fifteen years ago) link

i watched the pencil scene on youtube back when tdk 1st dropped and didnt get it, maybe its funnier in the context of this boring ass movie full of uptight tards like christian bale and aaron ekhart

Dr. Yakubius (and what), Friday, 19 December 2008 17:25 (fifteen years ago) link

dude nothing anyone says about this is going to make you laugh because the funny shit his joker doesn't isn't OMG LOOK AT ME I AM WAAAAAAAAACKY HILARIOUS!!! which seems to be what you want out of this character.

the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Friday, 19 December 2008 17:25 (fifteen years ago) link

why dont you see the movie instead of judging it from like 3 clips on youtube

s1ocki, Friday, 19 December 2008 17:26 (fifteen years ago) link

his joker doesn't? his joker DOES

because it looks supergay and i hated batman begins and nobody on this thread can make a good case for it beyond making it sound like the matrix or some shit

Dr. Yakubius (and what), Friday, 19 December 2008 17:27 (fifteen years ago) link

im sure you've already made up your mind to hate it so maybe dont bother... but way to ruin a movie before you've already seen it!!

s1ocki, Friday, 19 December 2008 17:28 (fifteen years ago) link

this is like the argument with tuomas, there's a place in the world for both types of films and if you prefer one to the other that's cool but let's not turn this into a "this is not the ethos of the batman" argument except about the joker.

xpost i don't get why you are on a thread, specifically about a movie you haven't seen, because it's weird to come onto a thraed and be like "this other vaguely related movie is so much better i am guessing" tho i guess it wouldn't be ilx without retarded bs all the time.

the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Friday, 19 December 2008 17:28 (fifteen years ago) link

"you know guys i haven't seen the curious case of benjamin button but it looks mad fuckin gay and here is a youtube clip of 12 monkeys and brad pitt seems way funnier in this shit"

the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Friday, 19 December 2008 17:29 (fifteen years ago) link

I hated batmang begins too but you should see TDK and not on some compressed to fuckshit youtube clips

it doesn't bring the lulz tho it's bummer alley

Dr. Yakubius (and what), Friday, 19 December 2008 17:30 (fifteen years ago) link

i'm having a slow day at work max and am passing the time by my time-honored tradition of baiting ethan dude.

xpost ok it was a bad example fine

Edward III, Friday, 19 December 2008 17:32 (fifteen years ago) link

Morbz and and what finally agree - they hate a movie neither of them have seen

seriously gtfo this thread with that bullshit

There was even a brief period when I preferred Sally Forth. (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 19 December 2008 17:32 (fifteen years ago) link

juggaloker is completely unfair, i don't think he's ever even seen faygo.

the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Friday, 19 December 2008 17:32 (fifteen years ago) link

xp: we both saw Batman Begins

Dr Morbius, Friday, 19 December 2008 17:33 (fifteen years ago) link

juggaloker sounds like a morbs-ism too

s1ocki, Friday, 19 December 2008 17:33 (fifteen years ago) link

fwiw morbs i thought the action cutting in batman begins was really lame too but dude stepped up his game for this one.

s1ocki, Friday, 19 December 2008 17:34 (fifteen years ago) link

shakey, go see Seven Pounds

ethan is my Fight Club Pitt alterego, only he turned out more like Arnold Stang

Dr Morbius, Friday, 19 December 2008 17:34 (fifteen years ago) link

see what does that even mean? it's hilarious but what does it really mean.

the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Friday, 19 December 2008 17:35 (fifteen years ago) link

ethan i understand being so skeptical of a hyped movie that you want to not see it and still be able to piss all over it, but at a certain point you can't have your cake and eat it too. see the movie or stfu.

grinchyschneider (some dude), Friday, 19 December 2008 17:35 (fifteen years ago) link

ledger's joker is funny, but funny in the same way that ddl was funny when he said YOU WILL BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY I AM AN OILMAN~

imo

cankles, Friday, 19 December 2008 17:35 (fifteen years ago) link

i mean this is why i only trolled the Borat thread for a few posts and then moved on.

^^^ i still have not seen this movie because i feel like i can't quite take ddl seriously at all but it's supposed to be serious

the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Friday, 19 December 2008 17:38 (fifteen years ago) link

but i mean when friends of mine are all saying dramatically like "I WILL DRINK YR MILKSHAKES!" and it's supposedly a serious good cinema treat i am like wtf i don't think i can handle that.

the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Friday, 19 December 2008 17:39 (fifteen years ago) link

i mean effectively they made it sound like every scene was the "i've made every mistake a middle aged man can make" faux-pep-talk al pacino gives in any given sunday quite frankly.

the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Friday, 19 December 2008 17:39 (fifteen years ago) link

wait are you asserting that TWBB isnt supposed to be funny

cankles, Friday, 19 December 2008 17:40 (fifteen years ago) link

actually, PT Barnum-Anderson said he wanted to hear people laff at DDL. but it's still "serious"

Dr Morbius, Friday, 19 December 2008 17:40 (fifteen years ago) link

thats why there will be blood is so good, its funny in that weird way

s1ocki, Friday, 19 December 2008 17:40 (fifteen years ago) link

xp

s1ocki, Friday, 19 December 2008 17:40 (fifteen years ago) link

i didnt think it was that good btw but i think it is like... a comedy that makes u think

like robocop

cankles, Friday, 19 December 2008 17:41 (fifteen years ago) link

xp: except for the last 20 mins, which just stink

Dr Morbius, Friday, 19 December 2008 17:42 (fifteen years ago) link

i don't know what i'm asserting!! i'm asking for guidance i guess because i thought it was a serious movie and not supposed to be funny but i can't even look at ddl w/o laughing tbh. you guys are reassuring me but i'm still not sure that i wouldn't rather just watch any given sunday

xpost lol @ robocop

the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Friday, 19 December 2008 17:42 (fifteen years ago) link

actually in all honesty maybe this is just a bigger ish in general: ddl is just inherently hilarious to me, by existing

the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Friday, 19 December 2008 17:43 (fifteen years ago) link

i <3'd twbb btw

and robocop

and the pacino speech in ags

Dr. Yakubius (and what), Friday, 19 December 2008 17:44 (fifteen years ago) link

schef I haven't seen the football movie but Screaming Al is spot-on funnyserious in Angels in America

Dr Morbius, Friday, 19 December 2008 17:44 (fifteen years ago) link

Dr Morbius, aren't YOU supergay?

the pinefox, Friday, 19 December 2008 17:44 (fifteen years ago) link

not to change the subject or anything but I would rep for batman 1966 over burton batschlang

that stuff is pure gold

this is obviously otm. there are loads of films that are ruined by their ending. but are there any where the ending saves a film that would otherwise be terrible?

caek, Friday, 19 December 2008 17:46 (fifteen years ago) link

morbius you should probably not watch "the football movie" because it is the definition of a movie you'd hate.

the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Friday, 19 December 2008 17:46 (fifteen years ago) link

also saying ddl is any more inadvertantly hilarious than al fucking pacino who in fact invented the game is kinda nuts
