even it it was a reference to the role of the joker and not to take it easy on the pills...
someone mentioned deniro's role in taxi driver, which is a good example of a dark character played by a colder emotionally, but just as methodical an actor as say, his nemesis in heat, pacino - who's all raw emotion and gut instinct. to hear the crew of apocalypse now talk about going upriver in the filipino jungle, it's possible to become unhinged in the process of making certain movies regardless of which side of the camera you're on, and dennis hopper, martin sheen, marlon brando and really anyone still alive when they get off the boat are all clearly becoming unhinged to varying degrees in real life, captured on film and edited into a movie...
...even so, i kind of thought jack was talking about pills...
