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

i laughed real hard at the funny parts and i feel like nobody focuses on those in their thinkpieces

thinkpieces dont believe anyone can laugh anymore u monster

the jokers real crime....was joking

i saw this tonight & i agree w deems

in and of itself its ok if you unhook it from
all of the baggage. so much baggage, jesus.

todd phillips is an annoying preening nihilist & no-one should listen to anything he says about this movie. imo.

phoenix undeniably good. the involuntary laugh is such a tough thing to pull off convincingly & as a piece of acting, the physical exercise iself, i found it really fascinating. also it’s the thing that sells everything else about Arthur’s character.
the weightloss was terrifying to me though. not machinist-bale CALL 911 scary but close.

I'm kind of glad I didn't like it more than I did because the last 30 minutes of the movie would have ruined it for me anyway.

I still "enjoyed" it to some extent but it seemed to treat many of its tropes as part of a checklist they needed to complete to reach "important movie" status.

definitely more Shyamalan than Scorsese though. i think that’s why the end didn’t bother me, because it just felt like he’d given over to total delusion after the Brian Tyree scene at Arkham

i was mad that they wasted someone like Tyree in such a lame role, much like they wasted Zazie Beetz as a plot device. but just cos I love them both so much

agree! like, you’re basically benching your best players!

also I think Martha Wayne should have known karate in this version. since we were changing things up a bit

ain't nobody jackin' her pearls this time.

There aren't any funny parts to focus on.

The guy walked into a door that was kinda funny

The hospital clown bit was meant to be funny but didn’t really land for me iirc

I think there’s some unintentional comedy in how oppressive and tryhard and stupid this is most of the time. I’m with dmac & co tho this was passable enough for a serious funny papers movie and the takefest that accompanied it was far worse

I dare you to anticipate …

in the sequel, the Joker, now released from jail early due to appeal, is the host of a popular TV program, but has been "cancelled" for making disparaging remarks about women. The Joker seeks to "cancel" Gotham.
