Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (Future-casting Arch to Texas)

[Bevo 24]

@Ketchum how would you rank Arch vs Ewers and Klubnik?

 

[Ketchum]

Seeing Nicholson 7th on this list seems criminal.

totally agree.

 

[Ketchum]

I read that list and thought it was ridiculous. But, to each their own

I only cited to show how Hathaway's performance isn't viewed as elite in batman cannon.

 

[Ketchum]

@Ketchum I also recognize that these lists are often based on some auteur film school analysis, the same thing that might win an Academy Award, recognizing a crazy performance, that doesn't necessarily (and often doesn't) jive with characters I actually enjoy watching. The best example is Phoenix' The Joker. Did he turn in amazing performance? Yes. Do I like watching the movie? No. Do I think he encapsulated the actual character of The Joker? No. Did I enjoy myself while watching it? No. Does it contribute to me feeling moved in any direction or any catharsis for the hero of the film? There is none. Does not compute.

In my opinion, what actually makes Ledger's Joker work so well in The Dark Knight is the character of Two Face in that movie. Their viewpoints pitting against each other make the Joker story something more than just a crazy person being crazy.

You think it's Two-Face that outs Ledger over the top?

Man, you just keep fascinating me.

 

[Ketchum]

Anwar basically saying what I said for #5. She's hot!?!

🤷‍♂️

Not entirely sure.

I’m less interested in an Oscar-caliber transformation and more interested in an interesting, enjoyable, and captivating character relevant to the story I’m watching

What I said is that TwoFace makes that character (Joker) work. Otherwise he’s just a crazy person spewing anarchy. That’s not narratively interesting. But the juxtaposition of TwoFace’s attempts to help Gotham against Joker’s make you think, and make that story really interesting. It’s why Batman does what he does in the end

I need a top ten civil war generals list.

You should listen to Jocko Podcast #323 and 324 on Gettysburg. Good stuff

I have an extreme obsession with that place. Trip #6 in May.

I don't think that list had anything to do with the Oscars...

agree to disagree.

It’s been kinder to me than DKR the past ten years.

Id like to make a stop at some point

If you do let’s talk.

Well you said her performance is "elite" and Hathaway's isn't. Just trying to contextualize my perspective

The context was merely about the best performances of characters in Batman movies.

Among whom?

 

[mofohorn]

who do you believe is the favorite?

Among whom?

 

[darrenj]

Among whom?

Are you saying Georgia is the favorite for Manning? Or someone else besides Texas?

 

[Ketchum]

Among whom?

among whomever you want?

 

[Napaak]

Yes, I still believe Texas not shit its pants in the fall and look remotely like the Mickey Mouse sideshow it did last season.

Got it. Fair take, but the whispers seem to be he decides before the Fall and thus the season wouldn't matter.

Lots of whispers out there. Almost all of them come with a little confirmation bias attached to them.

Hey Ketch,

Where's the article on the men's and women's track team. 1st and 2nd in the nation is worthy of a shout out. Did I miss it?

It's the last thought in the column.
