dr katz

Found this clip and have been laughing about it for about 10 mins now. I am netflixing Dr. Katz right now. The entire series is now out on DVD. I loved this show, I wish Comedy Central was still good. The late 90s-early zeros were a golden age in comedy on tv.

"Our James Dean?"


People are already comparing him to River Pheonix and James Dean. Dying at the young age of 28, he is likely to become a legend now. Do a google image of his name to see some cool Joker pictures, but of course now the movie will have a dark cloud around it. Don't know all the details of his death, but I am cutting and pasting something from IMBD. I wonder if they will take it down sometime soon, so I am posting it.
The Joker's character is based on his first two appearances in the comic books, as well as his portrayal in the graphic novel "The Killing Joke." To prepare for the role, Heath Ledger lived alone in a hotel room for a month researching the character and developing his performance, which he claims is based upon Sid Vicious and the character of Alex in A Clockwork Orange (1971). Ledger found the role extremely difficult, and suffered insomnia as a result.
