My father has ovaries.
My father turns into a woman twice a year. In both August and January, starting the two days before I go back to school, my father starts his period and doesn't stop BITCHING until after he leaves me there. The good part about this is that it makes me SUPER EXCITED about heading back to school just so I can stop listening to him and his fucking COMPLAINING ABOUT NOTHING, the bad part is that we end up bitching and complaining and yelling at each other for those two days and the whole 4 hour drive up to school. He just bitches and moans about how I'm not packing or I won't be ready on time or.. whatever, just blah, blah, blah. I've packed to go to/leave college four times now (going in Aug, leaving in Dec, going in Jan, leaving in May), this being my fifth. I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING, DAD, SO TAKE YOUR FUCKING TAMPON OUT OF YOUR VAGINA, POP A MIDOL, AND BACK THE FUCK OFF.
Also, my boos still hasn't told me my work schedule. Fuck him if he expects me to work Monday, He should've let me know a week ago, at the least. Actually, twenty bucks says Karl got hired as the student manager and was the one in charge of sending me my schedule; bet he took one look at my name and went "PFT, FUCK THAT BITCH." Actually, I'm really thinking this is what happened right now. Uhhhg, fml.
Since I'm in a bad enough mood, here's the next for that 30-day meme. It's full of ranty and anger, so it fits right now >:T
Day08: A photo that makes me angry or sad
No just.... NO. NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.
I LOVE the Joker with all my heart. Out of everything ever, I think he's my favorite character. I love him so much, and I HATE with such a deep loathing what they did to him in "The Dark Knight." Heath Ledger was not "the best Joker" because he didn't even PLAY the Joker. What you people all saw on that movie screen was NOT the Joker. I have no idea what he was . Really, I cannot understand why someone decided it was a good idea to make one of the most iconic villains in comic book history into a whiny, mascara-wearing, emo child with peanut butter stuck to the roof of his mouth, or why no one seems to NOTICE that that is exactly what he WAS in that movie. And he doesn't even have a real characterization other than that. He just kinda pops into that movie like "LOL HAI GUIES, I GUESS I'M THE BADDIE IN THIS FILM, LOL?" and "PAY ATTENTION TO ME CUZ I HAD A SAD LIFE" with no sort of story or history or anything. Where did he come from? Where was he during the first film's events? Why is he even called the joker? What made him decide on this whole clown motif? None of that is addressed because the director probably decided "NAH, IT'S COOL, PEOPLE LOVE THIS GUY, JUST THROW HIM IN." Yeah, that's NOT how you make a movie, jackass.
Canon-wise, the Joker does not, not, NOT wear makeup. I realize that these new films are meant to be a more "realistic" Batman, which I totally think is cool but... well, again, why then did THIS Joker choose the clown imagery? Why the makeup? Canon!Joker wears no makeup, his skin just IS white, his lips just ARE red, and his hair just IS green thanks to a lovely little chemical bath given by good old Batman. With these features and him just SNAPPING and going mad with maniacal laughter, he decided being a clown suited him well. And this event is what tied Joker and B-man together. Where is their link in this movie? He's just a random bad guy that happened to show up in Gotham for shits and giggles? Why? Where was he before that?
Comic!Joker tells Batman and anyone else that asks straight out that he isn't quite sure who he was before the night he was thrown into the chemical vat. He remembers things different each time he tries to think, and he's pretty much just driven by pain, anger, instability, sorrow, and hatred, which is why he has decided Batsy to be his prime enemy and to use Gotham as his own personal funland. In The Dark Knight he does do the same "different story each time he tells it" routine, which is nice, but they never say why... So really, he just sounds like he's lying about it cuz he's an ass. In TDK he's driven by... I don't know? And no, that doesn't make him "distant" or "interesting" as a character, it makes the writers a bunch of fucking morons who need to take some fucking story-telling lessons.
Now as for my opinions on Heath Ledger? I think he played the role fine for the way it was written, but he was not the "be all, end all" of all Jokers, for reasons listed above. I'm sure most of the praise simply came because he was recently dead and no one wants to be the dick to say "Well, his last work, that he finished just shortly before dying, was just okay." Well, I was that dick walking out of that theater, so sue me.
In my mind, there is only one, true actor for the Joker...
How many of you knew Luke fucking Skywalker voiced the Joker in the animated series in the 90's? Well, if you didn't, now you do. The Joker can never be a real person because, let's face it, he has some qualities to him that couldn't really happen to a person (I'm talking about the chalk-white skin, blood-red lips, and slime-green hair from a dip in some chemicals, of course). He has to exist in a drawn "reality" because we would never find this man for what he is in our world. So I really do find an animated adaptation to be the most "believable" medium to use when bringing the Joker to life. And Mark Hamill... He just has THE voice. That "one-and-only" voice that belongs to the Joker. I'm not saying this because I grew up with his voice in the Joker's mouth, really. When I hear that voice, I can place it as fitting the Joker, and vice versa. It just works and I can't imagine ever finding a more fitting voice (If someone mentions the show "The Batman" and the Joker's voice there, I will hate you forever, so don't even try) Maybe the Animated Series wasn't the greatest adaptation ever, since it had to alter a few things to make it safe to put on daytime TV and market to children, but I do love the show and they really try to do the original source justice, so I love watching it, even now. Obviously, I loved it most whenever Joker showed up <3 (Oh, and Harley, but they usually showed up together... xD )
I nearly cried when I heard Mark would never voice the Joker again after Arkham Asylum 2. :<
This here though... This makes me feel a little better, looking back on the good-old-days~
