Joaquin Phoenix to Play Joker

[Calighoula]

You just have to google the director and the screenwriters to loose all interest in THIS Joker. JP is a great actor, though.

I disagree. One could have said the same thing about the Russos before they made The Winter Soldier.

My jumping off point was seeing the makeup. How did they manage to make him look less like the Joker after applying the clown makeup? That takes a special level of incompetence.

You're assuming that's his final look. Maybe that's his first pass.

Problem is, without the acid bath he's just another random guy in clown make up. Getting a lot of 'Ledger but not quite' vibes coming from those new subway pics.

The Half in the Bag Episode about Hangover III is pretty discouraging

Yes because all directors and screenwriters haven't and never will get better if you don't like there work never give them another try.

No its just that they made their money with fratboy crap once and why would I want to forgive that?

He looks a lot like Joker looked in Batman: The Dark Prince Charming. The diamond pattern around the eyes. So you can't say he isn't comic book accurate.

To be fair, there were a lot of "ehhh.... that's not quite Joker" vibes from ledger prior to the release of the movie.

Somepeople changed their mind watching it. Other didn't.

The first Hangover movie, sequels aside is one of my favroite comedies of all time.

I never liked the way Heath Joker looked. He just looked like a guy wearing sloppily applied white paint on his face, and the smile looked terrible. At least in the Joaquin Joker subway scene the paint looks
more neatly applied to and looks more like the traditional Joker, even if it too is just paint. I mean we got Jared Joker, who seemed to obviously have white skin and not just paint (otherwise DAMAGED
wouldn't have been visible) and overall that was a bad look. So paint vs actual skin color is secondary to whether someone can give a convincing performance as Joker.
