The hype is real. Bobcat Goldthwait's 1992 tour de force SHAKES THE CLOWN is indeed the CITIZEN KANE of alcoholic clown movies.
Also, Tom "Spongebob" Kenny IS the Joker. No. Seriously. He has the body. He has the face. He has... oh hell, just watch this:
I'd invent a time machine to travel back to 1992 and cast him in the role, but it's be a Sophie's Choice between him or youngish Brad Dourif as my dream Joker. Oh hell, Kenny is a big ol' DC comics fanboy, from what I've seen in COMIC BOOK: THE MOVIE. I bet if I asked him to, he'd be totally happy to perform an impromptu Joker scene if I gave him script and makeup at a convention.
Really, between that thought and my dream of getting John C. McGinley to perform Warren Ellis' Green Goblin speech for NORMAN OSBORN'S SING-A-LONG BLOG, I should just make it my mission to get actors to do comic character monologues. It's a moral imperative.
