Does anyone else think that Heath Ledger is one of the most over-rated actors of his generation (and yes, he is an Aussie!)?

I struggle to watch him act, its as painful as a night on your stomach on Brokeback Mountain! He is ordinary! I hope he does the Joker role justice!

 

I don't know if I know anyone who rates Heath Ledger highly as an actor other than for Brokeback Mountain.  Most people I know single him out for his looks.  I've still not seen Brokeback Mountain, so I can't comment very well on his acting ability in that movie, but he seemed to garner a lot of acclaim for it.  I think it's possible that he just makes weird choices for movies.  Most of the movies I've seen him in are more about entertainment value than acting chops.  There's a lot of movies of his I HAVEN'T seen though.

[Cadsuane]

He was in Monster's Ball with Halle Berry and Billy Bob Thornton. That was not an entertainment movie in the least. Very distrubing, but well done. Though I do agree that I don't know anyone who thinks of Heath as a particularly high-quality actor except for the Brokeback fame. He is cute though. I'm partial to Aussies.  ;D

[Mendorah]

Yeah, I did see Monster's Ball.  Very disturbing.  He didn't have much of a part though.

 

Yeah, I'm Totally guilty of falling face first in lust with him in 10 Things I Hate About You.  And I Hate Hate Hate A Kights Tale, but I'll occasionally still watch it to look at the pretty.

[Cadsuane]

Yeah, I'm Totally guilty of falling face first in lust with him in 10 Things I Hate About You.

Ditto. As the cynical, grouchy older sister that dislikes people, with a pretty, popular younger sister, it was easy.  :D

[Emperor]

Let's not forget the acclaimed hit Cassonova....

 

 

[Mendorah]

Are you being sarcastic?

 

hehe, I LOVED that movie, but that's because I like the Pretty (Heath) and the costuming was Awesome!  And I LOVE cheese!  And Jeremy Irons, who was Hysterical.  As well as Oliver Platt who was also Hysterical!  But I can totally see how a person would not like it at all.  It was pretty silly.

[Cadsuane]

I wasn't, but I'm pretty sure Empy was.  :D

 

I thought Casanova was silly and fun, but certainly not Oscar worthy. ^_^

[Tenshin_Xo]

Julia Stiles was lustworthy as the older sister too...

 

Oh that casanova, I thought you meant the one worth watching, starring david tennant.  ;D ;)

[Ozhammer]

Im not even convinced he's good looking! I did see himin "Lords of Dogtown" or something on the weekend. His acting is just so..... contrived.

As I said, I hate to bad an Aussie, but I just dont rate him.

PS Julia Stiles has a big head!

[Emperor]

New pics....

If you're going to have those up, you might want to host them on like Photobucket or something... Garth Franklin is going to be getting a cease and desist order soon enough, just like SHH! did.

[Cadsuane]

Done. ^_^

[damane]

mmmmm Batman on a bike..how sexy

[Emperor]

Spoiler???

 

[Cadsuane]

Well, it looked like there were multiple Bats in the previous set of photos, so perhaps the one hanging is a fake Batman, not the real one?? Even if it is real Batman, we already know he survives, and therefore it may mean a kickass escape scene. Sweetness.  8)

[reyler]

They could have just been stuntbats, though that doesn't explain the one carrying a hunting rifle. Their batsuits are a bit too detailed for impostors, though.

[Emperor]

Well, I am very interested to find out. 

 

There are rumors that there are many batmans running around in this movie, probably started due to the leaked pictures.

[Ozhammer]

Thats why Heath and Michelle Williams broke up! He came home with lipstick on his collar and she assumed he was smooching Jake G again!  ;)

I still don't see a Joker here. I hear him - sort of - but I don't see him. I see Heath Ledger with too much lipstick, though.

[Vemynal]

Actually I really like what they did with joker, especially the fact that to get his "white skin green hair" he didn't take a chlorine bath (at least from what we've seen its just face makeup).

 

looks good to me (and looks like just one villain^^)

[reyler]

I dunno, a Joker that ain't permanently disfigured is only half a Joker to me.

 

(and looks like just one villain^^)

 

<_< >_> If you say so...

It's nice to finally see those awesome CHUD boys going positive lately about upcoming "Batman Begins" sequel "The Dark Knight" today, and in the process they've revealed a fascinating scoop (kudos guys, Devin you know I always admire your giant kahunas - literally).

 

The article talks about how Director Chris Nolan shot the 'Two-Face' scenes for the upcoming sequel and it's quite surprising - "Basically, Nolan shot complementary takes of Eckhart in Two-Face makeup so he could visually represent the duality of Dent in a less cartoony fashion.

 

What Nolan's doing doesn't sound all that far removed from the Gollum/Smeagol model, though the obvious difference here is that Dent isn't motion-capture; he's a fifty-fifty split of the same actor giving two wildly divergent performances in the same shot. And because he has two takes of each scene, Nolan has the luxury of shaping Eckhart's performance in post; it's just a matter of switching the dial between normal Harvey and bug-fuck Two-Face.

 

Again, both will be present in the shot, but only one will dominate the poor bastard's conflicted consciousness at any given moment. The technical audacity required in pulling this off may be the reason Two-Face was held back in the trailer."

 

In other 'Knight' news, the Harvey Dent viral campaign continues apace with pre-recorded calls going out from Dent (Aaron Eckhart) himself and the website IBelieveInHarveyDent.com updated with a short audio message (click here for the mp3 version) which is taking advantage of/satirising the current political campaigning going on for the US Democratic Primaries.

[Vemynal]

oh so it'll be two-face and the joker?

 

damn...I really wish movies would stick with one main villain..."villain team ups" tend to be where super-hero movies go wrong...
