I dare you to anticipate Joaquin Phoenix in Todd Phillips's JOKER (now with something that may or may not be a SPOILER)

The specific formulation described would flatter the sensibilities of the kind of incel chuds who feel that the weight of the world compels them to shoot up movie theaters and schools.

the honkler meme has been going for a while now so i’m kinda amazed we’re not already inundated with joaquin-faced honklers

I've had a sudden brilliant brainstorm: thinking of existing movies that, with no alterations except the digital superimposition of Joker makeup onto the face of a/the main character, would make for Joker movies I'd rather see.

First candidate: Heidecker in The Comedy

a serious man

Yeah I'm in the tank for this dumbass piece of shit

- Peter Travers

Yeah this still looks to be handsomely shot reactionary garbage

Zoolander
Mandy
Gran Torino
The Hitcher
Lethal Weapon
...

Kids

this looks quite a bit better than I was expecting.

enchanted

^ while I’d watch a version with Sevigny in the makeup, it would 100% work with Casper being Jokerised

xposts

no, xpost denied, you said it its done

playing the NYFF as a Special Event!

hard pass

Joker gets friendzoned

Hoping the De Niro character is actually Rupert Pupkin 39 years later, a Leno who has lost touch with his roots.

Whereas I'm hoping this is a stealth sequel to Dirty Grandpa.

Jokey Brown

Analyze Bat(man)

Mean Streets (of Gotham City, Where Batmans and Jokers Live)

Taxi Adam Driver

The Wolf of LOL Street

GoodFellols

I remain somewhat cautiously optimistic that this will maybe be not horrible

Your position requires more qualifiers before I can cosign.

It will be the better of this season’s stupid clown blockbusters at least

I am at least reasonably certain that It won't glorify an incel terrorist

It will probably be fine

this will be shit

Oh I think they’ll both be shit but this looks like it might not be boring. I’m contractually obliged to see it tho and I won’t see this

it will be bad because ive decided something aboit politics

Wait by it do you mean it or the joker

Third base!

Also when you typed aboit did you mean to type about or was that a contraction of about it and if the latter by about it did you mean about it or about joker

im trolling u

See, society is already deteriorating thanks to this movie's twisted influence

listen if online idiots start wearing clown masks instead of V for Vendetta masks because of this movie I think that's at worst a neutral impact

trying to come up with the number for what i would need to be paid to see this. i can tell you it's solidly in the triple digits.

Oh, this is beyond "you'd have to pay me to watch it" - this goes all the way to "If you speak positively about this, I will never listen to your opinions about culture again for as long as either of us lives."

Hyperbole thread is attaway

I will watch taxi joker when it arrives on hbo. It looks entertaining.

I'll watch the Maron / DeNiro scene when it arrives on youtube

Seems Joker robs a bank and spends the next 90 minutes trying to find the Brooklyn Queens Expressway [SPOILER].
