I’m Going to Whine!
Look, I hate the Joker. I’ve had nightmares about his crazy ass. His look in this movie has been creeping me out for months.
Now? Not so much. Maybe it’s seeing him in motion. Or hearing Ledger’s bad Nicholson impersonation. Either way, I think he’s coming off in this trailer as pretty . . . lame.
Does he even smile in this trailer? Now, stay with me here—I’m about to wander a little. The Joker is a dark character. Read The Killing Joke or Death in the Family if you don’t believe me. But what makes the Joker creepy is the fact that he does all that creepy shit while smiling and while laughing. Throwing in a crazy laugh once in awhile isn’t going to cut it. His look in the movie has caused him to lose a bit of his creep factor—I don’t think the face-paint is enough. Too dark? Too serious? Too lacking in face-paint over a mustache that the actor refused to shave? I don’t know.
Oh, It’s OK Then
How sneaky of you, Mr. Limbaugh—you try to make it look like you care about public perception and sexism. But really, you’re just planting the misogynistic seed, right? Ass.
