Red State should have been nominated for Best Picture years back, and Goodman, Parks, and Smith should have won Oscars for their work in it.
I thought Halle Berry would've been great as Storm and Catwoman if the material for her roles (or in Catwoman's case the entire script) wasn't so lazily written.
I think John Leguizamo is an Oscar caliber talent who is a more multi-faceted performer than the majority of those ever who've won one.
I think William Dafoe or Robin Williams would have played a much better Joker in Batman (1989).

No. People thought Jim Carrey was over-the-top as the Riddler in Forever, Robin Williams during that time would have been even more over-the-top as the Joker.

We'd get the Genie from Aladdin as the Joker essentially

The Joker needed a dramatic actor who could play a psychopath who thinks life's a big joke and Nicholson was that. Dafoe would have been as well.

Ace Ventura 2, When Nature Calls was one of the most unfunny sequels I have ever seen. I thought the title was UN-popular movie opinions? Like the following: -Caddyshack is a very dull movie. Three guys doing partial stand-up acts (Chevy Chase sucks the life out of any momentum in this film, ugh) with a story hardly anybody remembers the end to, and yet it's constantly in the Top Three of any best sports movie list. (All those lists have some sort of different combo between Caddyshack, Slap Shot and some feel-good drama/flavor of the month.) -Never seen Slap Shot, and I really don't care to do so. -Rocky II is my favorite of the series. Not a lot of love is given to II as opposed to the first or third. There are people who say IV is better. ( ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png) ) That opinion is popular? I was under the impression that people liked the sequel or at least thought that film was underrated. By the way, LOTR was boring.

But...the Joker...is over-the-top and I'm sure Burton would have made him just a dark regardless. Williams is/was a highly intelligent and also highly insane person, that sounds like Joker to me.

I still think Crispin Glover could have been Joker...in both film versions.

I agree with Joker being over-the-top and Williams being a bit crazy but I just don't think, with the style he was portraying at the time the movie came out, that it would have translated well to the big screen with The Joker. If this was Robin Williams after One Hour Photo, absolutely. He would have been amazing. But not in 1989.

I remember reading somewhere that Tim Curry was cnsidered for the Joker before Nicholson.......Tim Curry playing that role would have been nightmare fuel.

- Jackie Brown is Quentin Tarantino's best film and everything after has been annoying trumped up self indigent fanboy wankery
- Borat was unfunny and I would attribute its success having to more to do with being released at the right time to cash in on anti Americanism
-V for Vendetta is a crappy comic book adaptation and Alan Moore was right to call out the the Wachowskis for using his work as a soapbox for their political views because they were too chicken shit to make a anti bush film that was set in America.

Williams just doesn't fit physically for Joker. DaFoe would've been always been my pick. Curry would have also did a good job. Nicholson would've been alright for Dark Knights Return Joker but a new Joker as a paunchy 50-something? No
Nicholson was still better than Keaton though. Keaton is just not uber-playboy Bruce Wayne or uber-badass Batman
I still love Carrey as Riddler
Non Batman-related:
I'm OK with Michael Clarke Duncan as Kingpin
I liked Spawn
Sin City is the best comic-based flick ever
I didn't like Bridesmaids-watching her embarrass herself in one awkward situation after another was not funny
He may be a hack comedian but I like Dane Cook in movies and wish he'd get more parts.
Michael Bay flicks usually entertain me, no they aren't memorable cinema, but they generally get it done for me as popcorn flicks.
Heat is overrated and I don't see why folks get wood over Pacino and DeNiro being in a scene together
Sean of the Dead is overrated. It was alright but hardly in the same stratosphere as Evil Dead 2, Dead Alive, Reanimator, etc. Hot Fuzz was a pleasant surprise, probably helped that my expectations were lower after being disappointed in Sean. Paul blew dog.

I thought Argo was very, very average, with unlikeable characters and the tacked on "get home and see my son" thing sticking out as so unnecessary and Oscar-Baity.

By a quick google search of something he was in in 1989, he looked like this: ![](http://www.angelfire.com/celeb/TimCurry/images/SingingInTheTub.jpg)

Batman Begins is much better than The Dark Knight
The Amazing Spiderman is better than Raimi's Spiderman
Both Superman Returns and Daredevil are good movies
All Die Hard movies are terrible
Bruce Willis is a mediocre actor at best
Red State is Kevin Smiths best movie by far
