Oz ,'Same Time, Same Place'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
I've heard that Heath is mostly the anti-Nicholson. Maybe further footage will play that out.
Yeah, I'm trying to not make a snap judgment based on a 2-minute clip, but still, the comparison is inevitable, and Ledger's just got that *thing* in his voice in this clip.
"We are...two wild and crazy guys..."
"No. We are not."
"Georgei! How can you say that we are not two swanging bachelors with protrubing bulges for the foxes."
"You are not logical. I am neither wild nor crazy. And it is not yet time for the pon farr, therefore foxes are irrelevant."
"Georgei...you suck."
I'm not crazy about Heath Ledger sounding like he's channelling Nicholson
Really? I didn't hear that at all. He seemed very different to me, much gruffer and scarier. I mean, the less-than-impeccable makeup helps that effect. When you think about it, how dangerous could Nicholson's Joker really be, if he spent that much time on his makeup?

I thought it wasn't makeup. I thought it was chemical damage.
And that Heath's Joker is wearing makeup.

His danger is SO well-honed and efficient that he has oodles of free time to touch up his pancake makeup!
....or something like that.

Aha. Wikipedia says you're right. I haven't seen the movie in years. But still, it's such a...clean look, in a way. Heath Ledger's Joker looks more deranged.
I saw Atonement this weekend. It's a visually rich film and very serious. I often get put off by films which wear their Deepness and Importance on their sleeve, but this one sucked me in and eneded up really staying with me. It has really incredibly use of sound--almost as a character--throughout. Also, wonderful acting.

I love this.

Says a man who has obviously never been confronted by a livid drag queen.

This is really cool. Of course, I may be a little biased about that.
Still, I always appreciate well thought out use of sound.
