He's like that 90% of the time

True! LOL. It's weird, I was rooting for Heath's character as the Joker and he was pretty evil and demented yet when I think of Heath playing Will and being the big mean arse of a brother (had they not switched) I don't think I would like that at all.

I was rooting for the Joker too

I for some reason can't picture Heath being mean like Will was. I think since it was such a different 'mean' than the JOker's.

The Joker was mean sure but he was more brutal and it wasnt really personal - Will was a different kind of mean, it hits you harder when its someone you love and someone who should take care of you who is being mean.

Street Spirit · 12-01-2010, 03:17 AM

Yes, exactly. You two are right. It's a different kind of mean. I get really protective or Jacob and I'm not sure I can imagine it the other way around either.

I cant really picture picture Heath as Will, he was just too good as Jacob.

Street Spirit · 12-02-2010, 04:01 AM

He really was. Goofy and sweet. It's a nice, lighthearted role that must have been fun to shoot. As opposed to BBM which was was draining, Joker probably was as well.

I was thinking about this movie and I did light the red riding hood element.

Yeah I like how they included things like that.

Street Spirit · 12-03-2010, 05:14 AM

The little red riding hood was such a creepy children's story. I've been reading stuff about the original red riding hood story before it's revisions and OMG, so creepy and bloody.

Remember when I said that the real Jacob never married? He not only never married, but lived most of his life at his brothers house. Fun fact.

Wow lets hope his brother treated him better than what we got in the movie.

Street Spirit · 12-04-2010, 05:06 AM

It's interesting because I think back then most people were expected to marry. Unless I'm totally off on that.

It was just loosely based so I hope so. I like to imagine that at the end of the movie, Will started to maybe treat Jacob a little better.

change my luck · 12-04-2010, 03:45 PM

Ah yeah I think our right about that.

Yeah i think Will started to be better before the movie was finished, I liked to think he didnt fall back into bad habbits.

Street Spirit · 12-05-2010, 06:07 AM

Hey, it's cool. Not following what it expected of. Maybe he enjoyed being a bachelor.

Will was like that with Jacob since they were little kids. Was there a reason why, that the movie touched upon? Maybe that's just how he was.

change my luck · 12-06-2010, 12:14 AM

Maybe he did and maybe he just never found the right person.

I think its just how he was. We see him at the start of the movie s a kid and he pushes or hits Jacob because Jacob took the magic beans or something instead of money - there was never any reason for his attitude.

Street Spirit · 12-06-2010, 06:25 AM

Maybe, maybe. I'll have to read more about him. Something more than Wikipedia. I'm really interested now.

Yeah, sometimes you have that bossy sibling in your family, I guess. I'm glad I never had that.
