Guess What Sucks

     Doesn’t it suck when a woman refuses to suck your balls?   I mean come on… whats the deal here?

You’re down there… and you know we really want it, yet you don’t.  You refuse.  You act like there’s cancer all over them or something.  Don’t gimme that ”well Ill touch them”  or  “Ill play with them… but i wont suck or lick them” horseshit…   Its within a foot and a half of where your head already is, so just do it already dammit!!!!!   Is it the hair?   Trust me… if you ask your man to shave his balls so that you can make out with them… HE WILL.  Love is about communicating isn’t it?

Here’s an idea.

Hey ladies…  is your boyfriend or husband tired or irritable?   Is he in a shit mood and driving you crazy?Want a sure fire way to get him in a better mood?

Suck his balls.  Why wouldn’t you? 

No?

You suck

 I wanna give a shout out to Jim Russell for pointing this out to me.  Ive forgotten how much it DOES suck to not have your balls sucked.

   Ugh.  Green Bell Peppers Suck.

   They have the distinct honor of being the most disgusting and nauseating of all the peppers known in existence.  They taint everything that they come into contact with.  They ruin amazing dishes like the Denver omelet. Philly cheese steaks are amazingly tasty… unless you add the green little bastards to them, then it becomes a huge pile of shit on a steamed roll.  The addition of green bell peppers into any dish immediatly tarnishes any hope of it being edible by human mouths.   They look like the swollen glands of a monster that has been extinct for thousands of years.

People that enjoy green bell peppers should be put in the same ring of hell as the Nazis.  They were Hitler’s favorite food.  He enjoyed eating them raw… like apples… while watching European cities burn to the ground.

   Some claim that they make excellent toppings for pizza.  This is a lie and should not be believed by anyone who is a red blooded American. They are out there… waiting to strike.

   Only a communist spy who wants to infiltrate your families piece of mind will eat green bell peppers with a smile.  They are the food of the fallen and the hopeless.

It is a well documented fact that green bell peppers can actually make a man impotent.  They have also been known to give herpes to lab animals. 

   Jesus Christ himself said before turning water into wine…  “Behold… art thou hungry beyond ye means???   Do not give in to the temptation of the green bell pepper, for it will surely be your downfall… and I will not save you from Satan” (Book of Emu, Chapter 4, verse 3)

   I think that pretty much says it all.  What are you going to argue with  J.C.???

     I saw Trainspotting 3 or 4 times in the theatre when It was first released.  I was a teenager at the time,  and the idea of drugs I knew nothing about… mixed with thick accents from countries I’d never been to… along with a cool soundtrack, seemed irresistible to me.   Boy was I a young stupid fool.  Trainspotting is a huge pile of cinematic shit… and it Sucks.

   I’ll give a High-Five to Danny Boyle for his style… which is better used and easily more enjoyable in other films he has directed, including “Shallow Grave”… “28 Days Later”… “Millions” and ”Sunshine”.  Trainspotting starts nowhere and ends nowhere.  I understand its based on the best selling book by Irvine Welsh and I am not saying that the book sucks.  This MOVIE sucks.  It is a baseless and shameless exercise in style and slick movie making over story and substance.  

    I was fascinated by the characters.  All of them.  But then I thought… “Huh.  If these drug addicts had southern accents and were addicted to crystal meth instead of the then sheik and popular heroin… would it be as entertaining?  Probably not.”  So the movie relies on the almost incidental fact of the actors accents and their style to appear cool and interesting.  Think if Trainspotting had a bluegrass soundtrack instead of the euro trashy seIections in the film.  Still as cool????    I know that some people might say… “Hey Danny Anus!!!   If you change any 2 or 3 things in a film… then its going to be different, and possibly not as good!!!!”   I understand that.   A lot of things are all in the details,  but in this case… Trainspotting comes across as dated as a pair of Doc Martens and a flannel shirt worn together.  It is these THREE details that trick people into thinking its a good motion picture.

      It was released in 1996… at the height of Heroin Hype.  Sure the movie has an anti drug message overall… but MAN do those motherfuckers look cool being addicted to it. See even the nastiest and skankiest Scotsman or Brit has the potential for being cool.  Its all in the accent.  Oh its so tragic when the plot unfolds too; drugs addicts take too many drugs and people die.  People cry.  People get lost in their addictions.  Really?  I was unaware that hard core narcotics could do that to people.  Take away the accents and the music… and its a rather boring and mundane story that you could catch on the Lifetime Network (which sucks too).

Some might say that the overall message is about friendship and how drugs and money can affect them.  Well another big fucking surprise there.  I never thought that drug addicts would fuck each other over for money and their habits.  But as long as Lou Reed and Iggy Pop are involved… then its AMAZING right?  Wrong.  Ask ANYONE why this movie is good… and Ill bet you everything from a diddle-eyed Joe to a damned-if-I-know, that they cant do it without using the words “Cool” or ”Soundtrack”.

Which leads me to my last point.  The whole fucking movie plays like a 90 minute music video.  Every 10 minutes there’s another quick paced scene set to some hip cool tunes by music’s elite.  Its like the director decided to tap into the market of short attention spans to make this hapless piece of crapp fly right.  I am NOT saying that cool music in a film makes it suck.  That is stupid.  Cool music can sometimes MAKE a movie great.   But cool music being the fucking cornerstone of a movies character does nothing but make the movie a stylistic hodge podge that makes for boring viewing after its been watched a couple of times.  It makes the movie a trick to the senses.  It fools you into thinking its good… when in reality, it Sucks.

So lets see… Heroin Hype+Foreign accents+Cool Soundtrack = SUCKS.  Yeah that’s about right.

      OK ill give it up to Al Pacino for The Godfather.  He was brilliant in it.  Id even go so far to say that he was amazing in Dog Day Afternoon… and even Serpico was pretty good.  Heat… Carlito’s Way… The Insider…  all great movies.  He has had his moments.

   But that’s it.  A handful of movies does not excuse a person from a lifetime of SHITTY… SHITTY movies.  Much to my dismay… Al Pacino sucks.

   I guess he never really found his way later in his career.  I mean a lot of actors find other means of growing and expanding as they get older.  It looks like he just pigeonholed himself into a certain role.  Powerful… Intense… Relentless… Cocky… these all encompass the roles that he LOVES to play apparently.  Maybe its all they studios want from him.  Just act like Al Pacino… Al.

   If he isn’t yelling or hollering his way through a role… then he is silent and pensive… letting us imagine what he is thinking.  Whatever. I think the word that sums him up best is Ham.  He’s just a hammy actor who loves to ham it up.  The problem here is that he doesn’t know HOW to act like anyone else other then Al Pacino.  He is an American icon and a legend.  This makes him simply unbelievable in practically anything he has done since the late 70’s.

    But what about Scarface Danny???  What about it?  I’m sorry but that movie is one of the most overrated pieces of suck Ive ever seen.  Is he really believable as a Cuban immigrant?  I was unaware that Cubans wore so much eye makeup.  Oh yeah and the accent.  That stupid fucking accent that doesn’t sound anything near resembling a Cuban accent.  The only thing that saves that movie from being a complete turd is all the fucked up sequences involving chainsaws and helicopters and machine guns and rocket launchers.  Seriously though… you add any of those things to ANY movie, and its gonna kick some ass, so that’s a lame argument.  Id fucking see that Traveling Pants movie if there was a chainsaw and a mountain of nose candy in it.

   Scent of a Woman?  Total heart string pulling bullshit.  Oh he plays Al Pacino in it… but he is BLIND!!!  Oh wow how different!!!!  The blindness makes the character empathetic and easier for an audience to take.  Sorry Al.  Eat my asshole.  You suck.

The thing that kills me is if you bring up the topic of Al Pacino… then TONS of people (mostly male) will go on and on about how Pacino is AMAZING!!!   Wow he is like the fucking man… hes so cool and badass!!!  Is he really???  Does making 6 good movies and 30 shit bombs really make a person badass?  He is an actor… not a fucking green beret.  

Need more examples?   Maybe I can think of a few, hold on.

…And Justice For All… Cruising… Bobby Deerfield… Author! Author!… Sea of Love…Revolution… Dick Tracy… Frankie and Johnny… Two Bits… City Hall… The Devils Advocate(Awful)… Donnie Brasco(Fart)… Any Given Sunday(Weak)… S1m0ne… Insomnia… The Recruit… People I Know… Angels In America… Gigli…Two for the Money… 88 Minutes… Oceans 13… and finally Righteous Kill with 50 cent.  Ugh.  Gangstas love them some Scarface.

I know a lot of people like some of these movies, and that’s okay.  I don’t like being the one to tell you that they suck… but they do.  I’m sorry.  Its not up to me, so I will end this with an open ended letter to Mr. Pacino himself.

Dear Al Pacino,

Please stop making shitty movies and make a good one again.  Everyone knows youve been coasting on your star power for years now.  The time has come for you to remember your calling as an actor and tap back into the talent you once had.  I know you can do it.  Attica!!!!

Love, Danny Anus.

p.s.  Please dont ever star in a sequel or prequel to Scarface… regardless of what any asshole tells you or offers you.  I would be forced to take my DVD copy of the Godfather part II and firmly place it in my rectum for public display.

      Guy Ricthie is a hack director who makes confusing and complicated shitty movies. A lot of people say that he hasn’t made a good movie since he married Madonna.  I think they’re all bad. 

    Any time I’m watching one of his movies I feel like I’m about to have a goddamn seizure.  Is it really necessary to have that many quick cuts in a movie?  Halfway through that huge suck fest Snatch I felt a pounding in my brain that usually means I’m hung over.  I wasn’t.  I was completely lost and confused by the 2 dozen characters and witty profane banter I was forced to keep up with.   I think Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels is about some guys… who are stealing guns… or rescuing guns from other guys… and there is a crime boss… and I think Phil Collins is in it.  Or Sting.  Same fucking difference.  There are some black guys… and some slow mo camera work… and some other shit I don’t remember.  Snatch is about the same thing… only there is a diamond involved… and Brad Pitt along with Benicio Del Blah Blah Blah.  Oh and there are more guys in it.   More British guys…. and some boxing.   They speak alot with accents and then cock weapons and then cool techno music starts.   I’m getting a headache just thinking about it.

   I could go on for a while… but I wont.  You get the idea.

   I once heard someone say that Guy Ricthie is England’s answer to Quentin Tarantino. 

   Q.T. is a genius filmmaker. His films are invigorating and a joy to watch.  Guy Ritchie just has a camera and some douchebags with accents and guns.  Oh yeah and a whore for a wife. But that’s okay… because whores rule.

   Guy Ritchie Sucks.

          Man do I miss me some Saturday Morning Cartoons.  I was born in the 70’s,  so I was lucky enough to be a youngster during the last wave of them before they were destroyed in the name of Fascism.  Well that and progress.  Oh and don’t forget the money.  Its always the fucking money.

  I wont get into a grand or expansive history of the cartoons that aired on Saturdays from 8am to 12pm from from the early 60’s up to 1992 , but ill just say that…  wait,  that pretty much sums it up. 

Moving on.

   There were original cartoons like The Jetsons and The Flinstones… you know… your Hannah-Barbera cartoons… all your Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck stuff.  You had super heroes like Spiderman and his Amazing Friends… The Incredible Hulk.  The Smurfs and Scooby Doo… Alvin and the Chipmunks, Muppet Babies… There were some great live action shows like Land of the Lost and Pee Wee’s Playhouse, and even educational stuff like Schoolhouse Rock.  The list is WAY too long to go through… but I gotta admit, it was kinda cool seeing shows Id forgotten about when looking up the lists,  like The Littles and The Snorks.  Wait those shows sucked.

   So in the late 60’s a whole slew of parental lobby groups and worrisome assholes too paranoid for their own good came down on the makers of these cartoons and the networks that employed them and proposed all sorts of guidelines and stipulations about programming.  They cited that Saturday morning cartoons were too violent… too influential…and sometime presented anti-social attitudes and stereotypes (In a nutshell).

    I found this… it explains it pretty well.

 “These groups proceeded to the point where the very depiction of conflict and jeopardy and the basic elements of any drama or suspense were severely restricted, and the artists were left with few avenues of expression or storytelling. The prohibition against the depiction of any anti-social elements often prompted conformist stories, such as in the Smurfs series, where almost any individual initiative often resulted in trouble for the group and therefore had to be avoided at all costs.”

    What the fuck???   Is this a George Orwell book?   What kind of fucking fascists are these people anyways???  Like I said before, these people were rich, paranoid, and bored asshole parents with nothing better to do than try their aim at being SUPERPARENT.  Better than all the parents in the Universe!!!!  Up Up and Away!!!!!  (into my asshole).   I hope their kids all turned out to be drug addicted, handjob giving streetwalkers with Hepatitis. 

    OK so to make a long story short…  eventually the advertisers pulled out because ratings were so low it no longer was in their best interests.  That’s because kids stopped watching cartoons for a number of reasons. Cable TV and home video games like Atari and Nintendo were becoming available.  The advent of home video made it possible for kid to watch their favorite shows ANY time without commercial interruptions.  First run animated programs went directly into syndication, like The Transformers, G. I. Joe, and He-Man… and didn’t air on Saturday mornings, so the restrictions did not apply to them.  That’s why those shows kick so much ass. 

   But mainly… the shows plain sucked.  There had been regulations passed to make ALL programming before noon on Saturdays educational or informative to the viewer.  Which means that all the shows turned to shit and died a horrible death.  Watch Saturday morning programming now and you’ll see what I mean.  Now the shows are designed for retard flipper babies and kids that spit bubbles well into their teens.

   Why do children have to always be learning for gods sake???   Cant they just fucking relax sometimes?  They’ve been at school fucking learning all week long!!!  Kids need a little Woody Woodpecker and Thundarr the Barbarian at the end of the week to wind down.  They wont get to drink on the weekends until they are much, much older.   At least give them that.

   But they didn’t. Due to restrictions and the eventual progression of the marketplace,  It just wasn’t profitable or possible to make good programming on Saturday mornings any longer… and it still isn’t. 

I think that sucks.

Thanks and special mention to Eric Hyder… who brought this excellent topic to my attention.  Thanks Eric. 

You don’t suck.

          Wouldn’t it be nice if music transported us to a beach somewhere?  A cool and beautiful beach that reminds us of summer and fun in the sun… (YAWN)  and uhhh…   flip flops and uhhh…  Jesus I’m exhausted.  I mean If a guy who plays an acoustic guitar can wear flip flops and ummm (YAWN!!!!)   I couldn’t see how uhhh…   OH SHIT!!!!!

   I’m sorry readers.   I was listening to Jack Johnson while typing this up and I accidentally slipped out of my chair and smacked my head on the edge of the desk.  I was SO fucking relaxed and mellowed out by the music… that I nearly killed myself in the process.  I will be sure to have Mr. Johnson pay my medical bills or I will take his sand volleyball loving ass to court. 

   Jack Johnson is a singer and songwriter who is under the impression that writing boring, smooth, totally unassuming and unoffensive pop music is appealing.  I guess it is since he is so damn popular, but only with that khaki loving white college crowd.  His music is like a bowl of generic brand vanilla ice cream.   Not interesting enough to enjoy… but still filling all the same.  Its like it goes THROUGH you as a listener.  Its there… and you hear it… and its over… and you are not changed.  Well except for a head wound or two. 

   I imagine that the only good thing about his music… is that it might help you get laid.  TONS of chicks love boring generic pop music.  Its easy for them to digest and it doesn’t take them a full sized brain to enjoy. Oh and the flip flops… Sweet mother of a whore why flip flops?  Shouldnt an international superstar have the money to buy some fucking shoes?  “Well they are comfortable Danny Anus” you might say.  Well so are skateboard shoes and Converse and Doc Martens and Crocs and Keds and Uggs.  You wanna know WHY he doesn’t wear those shoes?  Because its not his image to wear them.  He’s a laid back sandy beach dude bro!!!   Hang Ten!!!!   I don’t quite understand how acoustic, mellow pop music somehow translates to “beach music” or whatever the kids call it.  I guess its because he surfs in his videos and wears flip flops and appears ON beaches all the time.  Motherfucker should start carrying around a metal detector and wearing fanny packs.

   Maybe If I wrote boring sappy shit like that… i could change the demographic its aimed at.  I could wear clown shoes and appear on the covers of magazines in circus tents or box cars with wild animals.  I could write songs about pancake makeup or seltzer bottles and cream pies.   I could even have a red rubber nose at the end of my guitar too.  Then maybe I could soak up some of the circus loving crowd with my mellow brand of smooth clown/circus music.   So insightful.

Ahhh but there’s no money in it.   Everybody wants to go to the fucking beach though right?

Jack Johnson sucks.

     Apparently there are people out there who think that this douche bag is funny.  Its obvious to anyone with half a brain and no water on it that he sucks.  Did Comedy Central just pick a Hispanic comedian out of a hat (possibly a sombrero?) to fill their demographic hole?   I can just imagine a table full of assholes sitting around trying to figure out how to capitalize off of Dave Chappelles show.  I mean if  people LOVE Dave Chappelle… maybe they will love the Hispanic version?   Stand up comedy, mixed with sketches, etc… I mean why not?

   So that’s what they were shooting for, and for their trouble they got a huge pile of suck.  Carlos Mencia relies on mostly inane and cheap racist humour about Mexicans and Blacks and Whites and uhhh Italians and Jews and I think Asians too.  I guess its okay though… since he IS Hispanic.  I mean black comedians are all allowed to use the “N-word” right?  So it only makes sense to allow a Hispanic comedian to exploit and make light of the countless stereotypes of Hispanic people and how they relate to OTHER cultures.  Oh so funny.  Masturbating is more interesting.  NO really it is seriously.

Did I mention that his first name isn’t Carlos?   Its Ned.   His first name is NED.  Ned Mencia.  Isn’t that WEIRD???   WHY oh WHY would he change his name to Carlos?   Maybe its because nobody thinks racist humour about Hispanics is funny when it comes from a guy named NED.   What a fucking asshole.  Apparently he is also a huge rip off artist with other comedians from Joe Rogan to George Lopez to Bill Cosby accusing him of ripping off others material.  So not is he just an unfunny asshole who sucks… but hes an unoriginal,  unfunny asshole who sucks.

   This is OK with me.  Comedians rip each other off all the time and I’m all for this kind of humor. I think that racially charged comedy with a racy edge to it has a place in American entertainment.  I think that his brand of comedy gives people of all colors the green light to laugh at the things were all afraid to laugh at.

    The problem with Carlos Mencia however is that he just isn’t very funny.  Its like everyone laughs at the punchlines… but isn’t really thinking about the joke.  His jokes and sketches all come across like cheap one liners about (insert stereotype here) by explaining the OBVIOUS differences between Hispanics and other cultures.  Its like watching Mad TV (which also sucks a huge fat cock), only HE is the show.   I think perhaps if I was less intelligent I might enjoy his comedy.  Sorry.  I think it just appeals to people who don’t know whats funny.  I mean he is yelling at me right?  Everyone else is laughing… it MUST be funny.  Lemmings unite!!!  Off the cliff everyone!!!!!

   Speaking of yelling…  and one of the reasons why Carlos Mencia sucks so much… is his delivery.   Its like he isn’t offensive to my brain… but my ears.  I know that there is a brand of super charged loud mouth obnoxious comedy, and that some mouth breathing morons like it…but his voice just irritates the living shit out of me.  The idea of anything subtle or subdued is lost on Ned.  All jokes must be LOUD and IN YOUR FACE.  What am In grade school?  Am i some primate who needs things hollered at him to understand?   Any time I see Carlos Mencia on television I feel like I’m being interrupted by some loud mouthed spare tire who is trying to convince everyone hes a laugh riot.  You know the type.  You’re at a party and he just wont shut the fuck up.  Its like his volume level is turned up to 11 all the time.  Totally sucks.

Bottom line?   I not only find him very unfunny, but also very obnoxious and annoying… which is MUCH more offensive than his subject matter.

Thanks to “Big Red” for the input.  He sent me an email about Ned Mencia here and how much he sucks… and he is right.

      Dear God in the motherfucking sky.  Whose idea was Ketchup?  A sweet, disgusting goo that’s artificially colored red… because if you saw the real color….  you’d see it was really brown.  That’s right.  I’m talking about poo poo.

   OK seriously… enough with the childish remarks.   Ketchup is a fucking abomination to the condiment world.  How anyone could put it on anything is beyond my understanding.   Fries?   Fuck your mother.   Hamburgers?  Eat shit asshole.  Hot Dogs?  Suck my cock.

    Allright Ill say that Ketchup is allowed to a certain degree.  By certain degree… i mean if you’re under 10 years old.   If you are under the age of 10…  Ketchup is OK in my book.

The rest of you… grow a pair of balls or tits and start eating real condiments like the rest of the world.

       I know some of you out there have many… many… MANY memories of Tim Burton’s “Batman”.  Lord knows I do.  Ask anyone that knew me back when I was 10 and they’ll tell you; I was totally obsessed.   Well who wouldn’t be?   Huge summer blockbuster… Huge star power… Awesome superhero… what more could a 10 year old want?

    See that’s the thing.  I was 10.   A 10 year old doesn’t understand plot or character development like an adult does.  Hell a fucking teenager could grasp them.  I’m sorry to have to tell you people this… but after all these years, Batman sucks.

   First of let me say that its a stunning piece to look at.  A stunning piece of shit.   I’ll give credit to Tim Burton for creating his own world for Batman to operate in.  A sleek,  dark and sinister world of towering skyscrapers and alleyways.  It all looks great in still shots. But that’s about it.  Frankly I find it a silly and laughable movie in which the sum is MUCH greater than its parts. 

   Consider.

  Take away all the stars and what do you have?  A shitty plot and awfully written characters that go nowhere the entire movie.  This is a twisted tale of a man driven to revenge and crime fighting… and they passed it off like a shiny black turd.  Why is ANYONE on screen doing ANYTHING?   Michael Keaton plays Bruce Wayne like a wet sock… without any human characteristics at all.   So he hates crime… and he sleeps upside down like a bat… and he has problems with his relationships.  WHY?   I know that his parents get killed and it even shows it to us in a flashback sequence, but is that his every motivation?   How can such a rich and complex character be so one sided?  Hell he even says in the fucking movie that he is complex… yet I dont see why.  I guess a lot of it looked good on paper.   As Batman… he does the SUPER difficult job of having relatively attractive jowls.   Sure he set the pattern of all future Batmen by sort of whispering in a menacing like way… almost angry, but that’s it.   I didnt see any connection of the two personas… ever.  Not once did I think that there was a millionaire playboy under that rubber suit punching and kicking away at the Joker.

    UGH the Joker.   I love Jack Nicholson as much as the next American male… but after growing up and watching Batman as an adult… I realized that there wasn’t anything special or interesting about the performance that WASNT Jack Nicholson.   It was like watching the 1980’s Jack just being himself… only with clown makeup on.   People are so fucking wet and horny about the fact that its him… they don’t even think about the character of the Joker or what it means.   I mean where did all that go?   In the film… before he becomes the Joker, he is a cruel sadistic mobster who wears a purple suit.  AFTER he becomes the Joker, he is a cruel sadistic mobster who wears a purple suit AND makeup.  There is no difference between the two characters.  I guess the whole “getting shot in the face and drowning in toxic waste” didnt do much… so why even put it in the movie?  Ill tell you why;  Its becuase the plot requires it to.    Why is he so hell bent on killing innocent people?  What does he get out of it?  WHY is he even there?  Jesus just watching it now makes me laugh and in not the good way.  All I could keep thinking about was the massive paycheck he knew he was getting.  Hey actors making millions of dollars is awesome.  But in this case…It sucks.  

   Vikki Vale… totally unimportant and meaningless.  Kim Basinger is a good looking piece of window dressing who cant act. Just name me a movie she is good in.   That’s right.  Didn’t think so.   One part of Batman that comes to mind is when she is unconscious in the batcave.   You know after Batman takes her there after rescueing her.   So she wakes up and sees Bruce Wayne in his yuppie turtleneck and what does she do?    Does she freak out because her boyfriend is Batman?   Does she lose her shit and go nuts because she doesn’t understand whats happening? Does she start screaming because she doesnt know where she is?    What does she do?  SHE DOES NOTHING.  She skips over any believable human response and goes straight to where the plot directs her… the love story. She goes into this sappy little number about trying to love each other. Huh?  Did I miss something?  Am I supposed to suspend belief in all  human emotion or response when I’m watching a movie?  Maybe in a comedy, but not a “sleek. dark, action thriller”

   From what I understand… this movie was in the works for the good part of a decade before it all came together.  Maybe its because it clearly has the potential to make a lot of money… so it had to  be loaded up.   You can tell by watching it now that it was a total studio project… getting big names… big directors and big rock stars for soundtracks… old standards from Hollywood, and a blonde piece of popular tail.  Everyone getting paid big bucks to make a big movie… with no regard for the characters or story.  I will however give a High Five to Tim Burton for having the balls and the vision to bring the great hero to the screen in a serious way.  If nothing else… this whole chuckle can be a testament of how Hollywood can ruin a directors vision of how great a motion picture can be.  Speaking of Hollywood… I  read somewhere that Warner Bros. had to publicly offer the Joker role to Robin Williams to get Nicholson to sign. Apparently he was offered the role much eariler and had turned them down… more than once.  My guess is it was probably for money… but who could blame him?  Shit go Jack Go!!!!  He is the Man!!!   But still…  he didn’t even care whether he did it or not.  He had no interest in the role… except for the GIANT paycheck he got.

Totally sucks.
