The Dark Knight The James Gordon / Gary Oldman Thread

[Gianakin_]

Great man, great actor, he's been through a lot and recovered. Hard for me not to admire him! He is a terrific Gordon and a very leasant surprise in Begins (I knew nothing of the movie back then).

 

[Batman jr.]

Amen, unfortunately.

Cool interview. I was afraid someone so serious as Oldman would play a character in a comic book movie, think of it as ridiculous later on, and drop out.

He's a terrific actor, underrated, but he plays too many psychos. I for one was glad to see him play a normal guy. He's like the John Wayne of psycho roles.

True. But James Woods is also underrated I think. But we know these are amazing actors.

Doesn't surprise me a bit. It's not that uncommon for actors. Acting can be an outlet for otherwise reserved people.

Finally, something everyone can agree on. Gary Oldman kicks ass.

 

[The Guard]

So basically what he's saying is...he's mailing it in. There's not much acting involved in this role.

.

 

[Shoemeister]

Oldman was the casting choice of a God.

And the person who had the idea of him playing Gordon was Chris Nolan.

What are the odds?

Is that how you interpret it?

How is that even remotely similar to what he said in ANY way?

 

[The Guard]

Mother of...it was a joke. But there is some truth to it. If he IS Jim Gordon...there's less acting/effort involved. It's much easier to play characters similar to yourself than it is to play a character that is nothing like you. I'm not saying he's any less an excellent James Gordon, just that it requires less effort than say, Dracula would for him.

Well THANK GOD he said Gordon was the character closest to what he's really like. If he'd said he was nearer in personality to Dracula or Lee Harvey Oswald, I think we'd all be backing away slowly. And that interview woulda been a lot shorter.

LOL

... or... TEOL for the kids.

 

[hatesworking]

what does TEOL mean?

I wish we could see Joker shooting barbara gordon like in the comics... but that s personal with Gordon and we know for big screen we need batman versus joker
not gordon vs joker

 

[Steelsheen]

ok can someone tell me what the heck TEOL means?

tee-hee + LOL. It's a new thing jimmy rhoads is trying out.

 

[Batty Belfry]

You mean Gary Oldman doesn't look like this when he's at home?

Could you imagine him at PTA meetings?

'Mr. Oldman, if we can just get back to your daughter's maths results...'
'You have a beautiful neck.' ****** head* 'Listen to those wolves outside, the children of the night. What beautiful music they make!.'
'O-kay. Let's start again...'
