The kid playing both twins that "inspired" the joker in the Gothamverse was fucking spectacular IMO. It's a shame they didn't give him the nod in the Pattinson version of Batman - he'd pretty much be the right age for it to make sense. He might actually be my favourite screen version(s) of the joker, even though he isn't really the joker. People were still fawning over Ledger at that point, and he managed to do a more comic accurate version of the character and not be completely shit at it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzler 9083 Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 Although Jada Pinkett Smith is also in it and is so unbearably shit that she almost makes it intolerable at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10645 Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 8 hours ago, Renton said: Naah, I don't normally go for Super Hero films or series. I weas thinking about it the other day, but in fact I seem to have an aversion from any media where the protagonists are "the good guys", although I realise Batman is a grey area there. So I can't be arsed with any detective stuff unless the detective is a right dodgy bent fucker (sorry Vera). All the stuff I like is from the villain's or antihero's/vigilante's perspective, absolutely love the Boys for example. Spiderman can get fucked though. Joker, Penguin, yes; Batman, Superman, no.

Aye, me and the Mrs loved Kaos, several on here gave up on it sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 16904 Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 Johan Neeskens, 73. Dad always called him “Cruyff’s bodyguard” but he was plainly far, far more than that…think he may have been one of the last of the classic era Dutch players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonpack 9013 Posted October 12 Share Posted October 12 (edited) Hellbound - Netflix (watched S1 again as S2 is imminent) some truly wonderful, if not monumental, overacting (it's Korean) thoroughly enjoyable. @Gemmill Silo series - Book 2 what you think ? - not as engaging/good as book 1 so far for me, no character particularly engaging at all.

The only problem I had with it was the fact that the telly lass was not the woman of the hour. In fact she was completely useless, and the real woman of the hour is poor lass who manages to convince the lunatic to keep her alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
