391231, If Ledger's Joker deserves an Oscar, so did Tony Todd's Candyman

i mean, since the whole fuckin world has gone mad and we wanna start giving out the highest honor for fuckin comic book villains. and don't gimme no shit about how he transcended the comic world, because that's that bullshit. it was a fuckin comic book movie and that's all it'll ever be...you know how i know that? because there's a guy wearing a fuckin suit that makes him look like a bat in it.

tony todd's performance as candyman was just as good, if not better, if we're gonna judge on transcending the material. he took that lame ass b-movie character and made him a complicated, charismatic, empathetic and unmerciful supernatural nigga.

if dude wins the oscar for this shit, they need to give james earl jones a lifetime achievement joint for voicing darth vader alone.
