The car ride scene in Meet the Parents where DeNiro and Stiller address this topic is a classic. "Puff is the name of the boy's magical dragon."Manhattan Buckeye;1488410 wrote:Thought of another one:
I think that the song "Puff the Magic Dragon" has nothing to do with a certain substance. That the boy was called Jackie Paper was simply a coincidence. It also helps that the writer of the song agrees.

Entertainment is difficult. Different people have different tastes.
I just re-watched The Dark Knight Rises in its entirety since seeing it in theaters as it was just released on Sky (HBO overseas). It is a bad film IMO. Period. The plot is non-sensical, the editing is off, and the dialogue is uninspired. If it wasn't a Batman film by Nolan it would have been as critically panned as The Lone Ranger. I love Nolan's films, particularly The Dark Knight, but the movie was just poor. How it has an 8.6 rating on IMDB.com is beyond me. There are so many throw away scenes, like when JGL leads the kids on the bus to the bridge...WTF was the point of that? It didn't go anywhere, it just wasted a few minutes. Just a sloppy film.
And Avatar sucked too, but most people realize that.
Absolutely ridiculousness. Ledger's Joker was just a great portrayal. That film overall was great, the opening sequence alone completely draws you in. But Ledger definitely was brilliant in that role.O-Trap;1488578 wrote:Speaking of: I think Jack Nicholson was a better Joker than Heath Ledger, and that while Ledger's performance was good, it has been over-hyped because of the timing of his death.
Meh, I distinctly recall thinking, "When does he get messed up?" I remember thinking, even, that there were setups for him to show some serious derangement, but the writing somehow took the wussie way out.Fly4Fun;1488584 wrote:Absolutely ridiculousness.

Obviously you won't change your mind as I'm sure you've had this discussion with others before, but I disagree.O-Trap;1488587 wrote:Meh, I distinctly recall thinking, "When does he get messed up?"

As for his portrayal, it seemed like he was trying to be Jabba the Hut half the time with his tongue doing weird things and him making mouth-breather noises. It was lame. He pulled off the evil genius part well, but he barely seemed competent at points in the movie.
So it wasn't all him. Some of it was the writing of his character. However, he wasn't without fault either.
Two different portrayals of Joker...cannot even compare them.FatHobbit;1488645 wrote:I remember before the movie wondering why they bothered redoing the joker when Nicholson had done such an amazing job. afterwards I thought ledger blew Nicholson away.
It was the last film I saw that afterwards I wanted to get back in line and see it again.FatHobbit;1488645 wrote:I remember before the movie wondering why they bothered redoing the joker when Nicholson had done such an amazing job. afterwards I thought ledger blew Nicholson away.
I find that internally inconsistent. You agree Nicholson's performance was legendary...for who knows how long. But you lost interest, and now you think Ledger's will stand the test of time better.Manhattan Buckeye;1488671 wrote:"Nicholson's was legendary."
I agree, for 1989. At the time it was a ground-breaking performance because there was nearly a decade of awful comic book/superhero films and Burton's Batman made it relevant again. Looking back, the movie is a bit corny (and the rest of Burton's Batman films are horrible - generally speaking Burton is more style than substance) and Nicholson simply hammed it up for 100 minutes. I loved the movie at the time but I wouldn't watch it again. I would watch The Dark Knight 15 years from now. It is a real film, not just a comic book film.
