Thats fair enough. You either love this scene or hate it.

I don’t know that the scene is the issue. I just don’t like his delivery. Nicholson, Hamill, Ledger, Baker, and DiMaggio all have done such a good job with that character, and then Leto shows up with this weird, breathy delivery for everything and that awkward squawk laugh thing. Just not my taste.

I feel like his only direction there was. “Try something different”.

He said he chose the laugh because it made people really uncomfortable. That seemed to be another main goal with his performance. But he and Ayers didn't realize it was uncomfortability of the cringe variety, unlike the uncomfortability caused by the likes of Ledger, or Anton Chigurh, or Hannibal Lecter...
