Commandos, The Joker, And Xbox, Oh My!

I know I haven't posted an entry in a long time, been very busy, and I'm likely to remain that way. :P (Limited internet time, that is.) But anyway, some fresh new thoughts:

 

 

The four Batman films from the past two decades are fairly well-known, the first more so than the others. Jack Nicholson famously portrayed the Joker in the first film, a role that is now a large part of pop-culture. This summer, The Dark Knight is hitting theaters as the sequel to 2005's Batman Begins, and this time around, Heath Ledger plays the Joker as a completely different (but still psychopathic) villain.

 

I'm wondering, which Joker is better?

 

For those of you that have seen both the trailers of the new film, and actually seen the past one, what's your opinion? Will Ledger's portrayal of everyone's favorite villain live up to Nicholson?

 

----

 

Now venturing into the realm of Star Wars, I'm finally beginning to read the rest of Republic Commando: Hard Contact after a one-year hiatus. :P I surprisingly remembered most of the plot, so I just picked it back up again... I also might rent the video game to see how it plays.

 

So who's a fan of the Commandos? Who's read the books, played the game, or both? Is the game good? (Torhuki, I know what your opinion will be. XD )

 

----

 

Also kinda concerning Star Wars and kinda not, I'm going to attempt building more sets for my Lego movies; which of the following planets/locations would you like to see in a future movie?

 

- Mustafar

- Utapau

- Tantive IV

- Raxus Prime

- The Jundland Wastes (I already have Mos Eisley

 

I'm going to venture out of the world of strictly Imperial movies, and I'll try to get more Rebel involvement, or perhaps some Clone Wars-era films as well.

 

----

 

I'm finally going to get an XBox 360, along with Live, and I want to know which games to get. I'm already planning to buy Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, as well as The Force Unleashed when it comes out. Any other good ones?

 

Also, with that $350 purchase, I'll hardly have money to get that incredible new Death Star set... gah...

I think Ledger's portrayal will be better, because judging by the great acting, he'll be able to tap into the viewer's mind more as someone so close yet so far from their own mind.

Good point. Well said. :P

 

I now think that each performance is unique in its own way, actually. :mellow:

Heath Ledger because (from what I saw in the commercials) he made the Joker look like a Master of being a psycopath. That, and he may shoot down more than one henchmen in Dark Knight

 

Mustafar because it was the greatest place for a battle scene.

 

As for the Xbox 360, get the following, and you sure as karzahni won't be dissappointed:

 

Halo 3

Gears of War

GTA IV

BioShock

Bully: Scholarship Edition

Ooh, you know me well. :P I guess I don't need to explain myself, then...

 

Raxus Prime, hands down. It'll be good to get some Expanded Universe stuff in.

 

I'd suggest Halo 3, but I know your answer already. And Force Unleashed is a must, but you've got that up there too... :P

Jack Nicholson really didn't shoot that many in the original... O_o

 

Okay, so we have Mustafar here, Tantive IV above, and Raxus Prime below... hmm... all three? :D

 

Thanks for the recommendations, I might rent a few of those.

I'm not sure how well I'd be able to do Raxus Prime, actually... it's basically red sand and metal junk. :P

 

BTW, have you noticed the Touchbrick content block over there? ^_^

Yes, well, that's awesome. :P and I was actually thinking of something else... Rhen Var, I think. Now that would be sweet... Better than Hoth...

 

OH SWEET! PUBLICITY! XD Thanks DN... Have I shown you this, by the way?

Rhen Var... that's a good one. Plus, I think I recall some major Rebel/Imperial stuff on that planet... care to refresh my memory? :D (And Hoth, with Echo Base, is still critical.)

 

No, I haven't seen that! It's cool... where'd you get the awesome holochart stuff from? And am I correct in thinking that the back wall of that room was inspired by my Death Star set?

Yeah... Uh, there was a thing called the Force Harvester that Dooku was digging up... And there was a Rebel base that got wiped out by Imperials...

 

It's from Republic Commando. ^_^ Partially. I've seen a lot of stuff like that recently and I felt it looked better than a blank wall.
