I would love to see KStew in a part as challenging as the Joker. It’s so much more than lip biting melodrama. I don’t know if she can do it because I’ve never seen her in a role that required comedic timing and emotional range, but I’d love to see her try.
Heath Ledger and Joaquin Phoenix both nailed it, IMHO, so the bar is pretty high (which also goes to her point that it’s so done before and I agree. I don’t need more Batman movies in my life, but before she’s horribly miscast in a truly good role, I’d love to see her try out a new persona in a throw away movie like yet another Batman).
ETA: wait and Jack Nicholson. How did I forget that? Yeah the bar is super high for this particular role.
A female Joker has been done in the comics via alt world Batman. It is a good idea if they want to have a Joker in a future movie. The role has been played magnificently by the three actors who have done it and I would love to see a woman get the chance myself.
FOUR actors, I’d say; Mark Hamill’s voice work as Joker for various Batman animated series was definitive.
I’m one of the few who watched Charlie’s Angels and I thought she was actually quite clever in it. I saw that before I watched Twilight, so no preconceived ideas about her and she was funny and fun.
I guess I should give Charlie’s Angels a try. But I recently watched that French movie she’s in, as well as the thriller Underwater, and she just plays KStew in both movies. That’s all the roles required so she was fine, but I’m saying roles are written for her that aren’t overly challenging. Spencer seems like it might be a challenging role, so I’m intrigued (not comedic, though, which is its own kind of challenge).
Anyway, this growing list of notable actors who’ve played the Joker really shows how great a role it is.
Oh, y’all are forgetting the original: the late great Cesar Romero, who played the role on the campy TV series.
plus Musical guest snl this week is Brandi Carlile!! yay!!
I still enjoy 73 questions with the right person . Loved Adele’s house and it was interesting to learn more about her.
Here’s another link y’all might enjoy, it’s a pop song that is blowing up in the overseas Chinese community and got the 2 artists banned from Chinese SM right away. Tons of political Easter eggs and such a cute aesthetic https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-Rp7UPbhErE
I love her house it’s so warm and inviting. I thought wow, what a great understated celeb house. Then look up the price and it’s still $10 million
I’ve got a couple of those rich people problems. I have a trip to Europe planned and we are flying business class because I’m not sitting in coach for 8 hours. Also my travel agent knows how much I’m paying for my airfare so she gives me attitude when I email her and ask her to take advantage of a price drop on my cruise to save a little bit of money. My sister in law is currently going through a divorce and hired a forensic accountant because she doesn’t understand money. Her husband made 500k a year but only brought home 200k and now she’s questioning where all the money is. I was like taxes, 401k, health insurance, health spending account, taking an ownership interest instead of cash.
I don’t understand what is hard about telling your kids no. Just because I can afford something doesn’t mean my kids are entitled to it. “No” is a complete answer.
Sometimes I feel like I’m in the Twlight Zone lmao, did y’all suddenly forget Kristen Stewart is a terrible actress? And yes, I’ve seen her in more than one film. She’s awful. She. Cannot. Act. Full stop. Also, she’s a staunch Woody Allen supporter. Barf.
Why is she still being pushed as a revelation? Is it the nepotism? Is it her stupid French film award?
I can honestly say I think she hit her zenith in “Twilight. ” So….
She really is a hit or miss actress. Her natural stoic personality does not help her often I think of her like a robot. Her movements and facial expressions are too rigid many times. A good acting coach can help her.
@ WTF
We know but her hype team keep trying to convince us all that she’s Meryl Streep 2.0. All they need is a high caliber American acting award so they can never let us forget.
I don’t know why she keeps commenting on not being interested in comic book franchises, though. I doubt anyone who cares about their franchise is checking for her beyond avoiding her entirely.
No one wants her scandal bombing their brand into oblivion just because she’s bored.
She can go back to trying to prove she’s so above it all.
I’m quite impressed (and a bit surprised) that both Rob and Kristen were able to forge such successful careers. I would have thought at least one of them would have completely disappeared.
James McAvoy is so funny! I could not possibly tweet out what I think about him because it would make you all blush. I found that segment very hot (and funny)!
