The Dark Knight From LatinoReview: Joker Intro SPOILERS!

[The Dark Guybrush]

Kilmer did a bang-up job in The Doors.
I also liked him in Real Genius.

 

[DieSmiling]

Clooney out of everyone from Batman & Robin was the only actor who redeemed himself and still has a friggin' career.

Uma Thurman redeemed herself and still has a career... But you're right about everyone else.

 

[metalhead971]

Wow I totally forgot about The Doors. I guess it's cuz I never sat down to watch the whole thing. I'll have to read up on Real Genius, never heard of it.

Anyone else feel like this thread took a nose-dive off the topic-cliff?

 

[DeaDheaD]

I would say that's cuz he's been way more busy. I'll admit he has way more films to his credit than Kilmer does, known films at least. I can only think of three Kilmer films off the top of my head: Forever, The Saint, and Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang. Clooney did that many films in one series. I could also argue that awards are as much a gauge of acting ability as hair color, since most of those awards shows clearly don't know good films from roadkill.

Point taken, however, my point is that for someone who is supposed to be "this all time greatest-MEGA-ACTOR", he was way below Kilmer.

Wait, now I'm confused. Who's below Kilmer, you say? And who are you referring to as the "all time greatest-mega-actor"?

Yes it did take a nose dive off the topic-cliff. By the way Kilmer was also damn good in Tombstone. I think Clooneys good but Kilmer is a way better actor.

 

[metalhead971]

OMG, TOMBSTONE! Another one I forgot! He absolutely MADE that movie!

Man, I gotta lay off the reefer.

In playing Batman, Kilmer was like Keaton or even Bale compared to Clooney.

 

[DeaDheaD]

He was in "Heat" too.

 

[metalhead971]

Oh, ok, now i get it. Very true. Although I would scoff at someone calling Clooney an "all time greatest-mega-actor", both for their word usage and the insult to my intelligence.

Goddamnit!

But Clooney is teh gr43+3st

 

[gwynplaine]

Kilmer was a great Jim Morrison but I heard he was a big a**hole to work with, maybe that's why he didn't fully fulfill his potential. He was really great in Top Secret too.

OMG, TOMBSTONE! Another one I forgot! He absolutely MADE that movie!

Man, I gotta lay off the reefer.

I'll second that, I love the Hell out of Tombstone.

 

[metalhead971]

I'll second that, I love the Hell out of Tombstone.

Honestly, some of the greatest dialogue I've ever heard in a film, no doubt about it.

 

[DeaDheaD]

Meh it was ok.......

 

[gwynplaine]

My favorite Doc Hollyday is still Kirk Douglas in gun fight at OK Corral. (maybe because I saw it on TV when I was a kid).

 

[metalhead971]

Meh it was ok.......

It is BLASPHEMYAH!

 

[DeaDheaD]

Lol

Never seen it, but I've developed a huge love affair with westerns lately so I'll try and check it out. Doc was just so eccentric/charismatic in Tombstone, kind of reminds me of Jack Sparrow in some ways (or rather Jack reminds me of Doc). Anywho, back on topic: have we ever gotten an official confirmation for this intro from another source (that didn't just report through the grapevine of course)?

 

[DeaDheaD]

Nothing.

Me too, old school, neo, spaghetti, the more allegorical and political ones from the 70's, I love them all. John Wayne, from Rio Bravo to the searchers is the man.

'Real Genius' is such an underrated pic and most likely unknown by the youth of today.

 

[Gianakin_]

Don't forget Kiss Kis Bang Bang, where he plays a gay detective. Now, THAT was an underrated movie and he was hilarious in it.

Agreed. And those that have seen the pic probably can only recognize Laslo as being Uncle Rico from Napoleon Dynamite. And maybe Kilmer.
