Senile

Jack Nicholson is pissed. How pissed is he? Well let's just say it's even worse than that time they discontinued the strawberry flavored Metamucil. It turns out Jack found out they're making a new Batman movie with The Joker in it, and nobody even gave him dibsies! The aging star unleashes his fury during a recent interview with MTV.
MTV: What do you think of another actor, Heath Ledger, playing the Joker in next summer's "The Dark Knight"?As much as it saddens and pains me to say it, clearly Jack Nicholson has gone senile and forgotten the way time works. Does he understand that this is a prequel to a film he starred in 20 years ago? Even with my rudimentary math skills, I'd say that places him squarely forty years too old for the part. And let's face it, there's nothing creepy about old people. Nobody wants to see The Joker hobbling around with a walker, shaking his fist because Batman drives too fast and then making a poop in his pants.
Nicholson: Let me be the way I'm not in interviews. I'm furious. I'm furious. [He laughs.] They never asked me about a sequel with the Joker. I know how to do that! Nobody ever asked me.
Wait, wait...maybe an "old man Jenkins" take on the Joker might not be such a bad thing.
The dialogue might go a little, like this:
Batman: Mr. Joker sir, can I pick-up my batarang it fell over your fence by accident, it won't ever happen again.
Joker: You fuckin' kids *shaking fists wildly* GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE, stop dropping shit in my yard!!! It's my batarang now GET, THE FFFF...
ah, ah? INSTANT OSCAR!
I gotta disagree, there's plenty creepy about old people. Especially the way chewed up food comes out of their mouths sometimes when they're talking.
Clearly the man was kidding. He was being sarcastic. And just to clear things up, the Batman films that Chris Nolan are making are not sequels to the Tim Burton crap from 1989. They are a reboot to the series.
As much as I do enjoy taking things out of context for the purpose of making a joke -- if you'll be so kind as to click on the source link, it's quite apparent that he was not kidding.
So is this supposed to be a prequel or "rebooted"? I have to say, I am a little confused by it. Won't stop me from seeing it though. Hell, Alicia Silverstone sure as hell didn't stop me from seeing her as Batgirl. Even George fucking Clooney couldn't stop me. Didn't really enjoy that one, but what the hell.
Anyway, if memory serves, Jack's character not only kills the Wayne couple(I was pissed about that in Batman Begins, by the way. Totally miffed that one, didn't they?), but he BECAME The Joker in the original Batman movie when he fell into that vat of lead-filled chinese toy paint or whatever. Then he got killed. And I know The Joker always gets killed or committed and miraculously springs up somewhere else, but seriously. What ever happened to continuity? I NEED continuity.
