"I didn't think he was special in anyway. I've seen much better performances in better movies. It's because he died that everyone is going crazy about this movie and his acting"
See, there it is. Yes, there are better performances in better movies...BUT WHAT PERFORMANCES AND WHAT MOVIES?! Everyone can say this unti they are blue in the face, but what do you mean by it? You comparing it to Godfather Part II, because that movie is perfect and NOTHING can stand up against it. One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest? Big? I mean, come on, man. Be specific.
And yes, we know that the reason people are going crazy about the flick and his performance is because he died. You know what? If he was still alive, PEOPLE WOULD STILL BE GOING CRAZY OVER HIS PERFORMANCE!!! It's not like his performance CHANGED because he died. It's the same performance he gave when he was alive. You have to stop mixing the hype of his death with the performance he gave while he was alive and delivering it. I, personally, would still the same thing now about his performance if he were alive. "Motherfucker hasn't made a single worthwhile film besides The Dark Knight, and he knocked it out of the ballpark. Hope his next movie doesn't suck, but it probably will." Those would've been guaranteed words out of my mouth.
Therefore, it would just have to come down to the fact that you personally don't like the film or his performance or Batman or whatever, and that's cool. I'm just trying to understand why people need to spit the venom on the performance when...past comic book films...this happens to be a groundbreaking thing. That's all. Can you explain that? Moreover, can anyone honestly name more than five worthwhile supporting actor roles in 2008 that weren't Tropic Thunder or The Dark Knight?
BTW, just wanna throw this in there...I would LOVE to see Downey Jr. get nominated for Tropic Thunder at the Oscars. I would probably shit a fucking brick!

I'm not going to read your wall of text because I'm sure it's retarded.
Here's one movie I'll list, Shawshank Redemption/Morgan Freeman. There's a lot more but I'm not going to bother
