The Dark Knight A stroll into the archives re: Ledger casting

[ERVysther]

I will be the first to admit I was WRONG.

I was *mortified* at first to hear about Ledger - I found Brokeback Mountain to be an offensive piece of ****, plain and simple...and then it gets an Oscar nod?

Even now I think it's an overblown dog turd.

I saw one or two of his prior films as well - The Brother's Grimm? - and was not too impressed...him pulling off the Joker?

Hoo-boy...looked rather...ahhh....grim, shall we say?

Honestly, I also really felt at the time he got the part because of the Oscar nod - face it, it's great publicity, not to mention some sort of political pull & tug involved as well.

After seeing the trailer and the prologue...well, OK, I apologize.

Acting and costume wise, Nolan and Ledger seem to have nailed it...we can judge decisively in July...

...just do not get me started on the make up issue, however, I'll never budge on that one.

this should prove embarrassing.

Yep. I want to see many of those haters reply to this or something admit they were wrong. Of course, I wouldn't be surprise if they refuse to post here again or still say crap like it's a fact that he is wrong for the part.

At least you admit what you said in the past & now changed your mind on Ledger. I respect you for having the courage to turning a 180 now. I hope others do the same.

And you sure got a lot of times on your hand there, Anita. Good job!!

 

[D.P.]

I forsee alot of stealthy edits...lol

 

[CaptainClown]

anita you are the best!
Finally someone called them all out

 

[coleyhinson]

It's a bad idea. Heath Ledger looks like Aquaman, not the Joker. If this is true than...Lord help us...best quote ever

 

[batmaluco]

[CaptainClown]

Finding them didn't take very long. Reading through them now kind of is.

I'm totally LOLing over Franklin Richard's posts. "I have a Master's in Theater! And I know Heath is totally robotic as an actor! Completely miscast!" If you mean killer psychotic unpredictable robot clown, then sure! t:

[CaptainClown]

anita you are like the coolest here, next to me. but seriously if I knew you in person I would give you a cookie.

 

[Luchastyle]

well anita likes colbert...so...sh-t. (s)he's(?) cool in my book =D (assume it's a girl, but maybe not)

 

[CaptainClown]

anita is supposivly a tiny long haired asian girl.

 

[Luchastyle]

awesome. a tiny asian girl who loves colbert. i'm in love ^____^

 

[CaptainClown]

she looks like a man though...

 

[Luchastyle]

=\ not cool. you don't know that though. just tryin to get her to come in here and go "hey! i don't look like a man =("

 

[CaptainClown]

Well I was hoping to garnish some attention with that comment but to no avail. She was at the los angeles premerie I should have singled her out so I can testify about that man look she has.
