In Reply to: so you think Joker was the greatest performance in 10 years? posted by Jazz Inmate on March 16, 2013 at 15:45:54:
I wouldn't care if someone said Mickey Rourke in The Wrestler or Robert Downey Jr. as Ironman!
It's kinda up to the indivdual viewer.
Parsing the difference between Bardem's or Ledger's work in either movie is fine....so long as some dipshit fanboy doesn't need to insist one performance 'beat' the other.
I thought Bardem and Ledger (and Rourke and Downey) both filled their roles prefectly!
Please continue your folie a deux with Tin.

- If you care to read the post, I said both are fine picks. You dipshits think 'art' is a zero sum contest. - Enophile 16:17:15 03/16/13 (14)
- That wasn't my pick for best. It was just one example to show the inanity of the Ledger proclamation - Jazz Inmate 23:26:38 03/16/13 (7)
- Funny, you attack the Ledger performance then equate it to an excellent one by Bardem. - tinear 09:34:40 03/17/13 (6)
- No, eno equated them. I cited Anton Sigur as one example that rendered moot your proclamation - Jazz Inmate 21:24:02 03/17/13 (5)

- I didn't choose a best. Tin did. I simply pointed out the inanity of his choice - Jazz Inmate 23:29:00 03/16/13 (0)
- You cannot seem ever to differentiate. I agreed Bardem is a fine choice. - tinear 17:24:37 03/16/13 (3)
- No reason to differentiate. You're the kind of guy who would argue in favor of having a favorite kid. - Enophile 19:22:55 03/16/13 (2)
