Mr Puggsly: "Hehe, I said good profit. You said big profit. Frankly, not losing money is what I meant by good. Don't get hung up on semantics"

In my mind the Joker was always a deranged psychopath with a twisted sense of humor. I'm not sure I'm on board with the whole tragic backstory angle.

Yup. That's why his character was so memorable in The Dark Knight.

He was basically this antagonizing force who showed up out of nowhere, with no explanation. Like Batman, you as the viewer are left in the dark as to his motives and capabilites. He was a loaded, unpredictable gun let loose in the plot, and thus kept the suspense throughout the entire storyline.



 

 

 

 

 

Dammmmn wtf. I'm not interested in anything DC or Marvel but this looks super interesting. I love the fact that it had a musical score like it was out of a christmas film. During the last half of the trailer I couldn't tell if it wanted me to feel like I was watching an uplifting musical or a horrifying drama. That contrast is beautiful!

Probably won't watch it though.

Agreed. I mean Alan Moore did give him a tragic backstory, but it wasn't meant for you to always dwell on and feel sympathy for him no matter what he does. It doesn't help that this trailer screams more to me Norman Bates than it does Joker.

Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:

Well, crow can be delicious, if prepared just like chicken. I thought this would be a misconceived take on the Joker, but Joaquin Phoenix seems to have delivered and perhaps even outperformed Heath Ledger's Joker, if early reviews are anything to go by.



 

 

 

 

 

87% on RT with 39 reviews counted. Standing ovation from Film Festival viewers.

It looks like this film's gonna be amazing. It could cross $100 mil opening weekend if the hype holds.



Batman Universe tries to copy Marvel once again.

Now with their own Dark (Joaquin) Phoenix film.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

Well, things just got interesting, the Aurora theater where the infamous James Holmes TDKR shooting occurred won't show Joker.

Oh and it gets worse: parents of the shooting victims issued a letter blaming WB for inciting violence with the movie. So now we have people telling us grown ass men what we can and can't watch, great.

Look, I get it, they're sensitive to movies that feature mass murderers because of what happened, but blaming violent movies and video games for causing violence (I'm looking at you, Donnie Dumb Dumb) is exactly why this issue will not be remedied, and it's already been proven they DO NOT cause violence.

Phoenix said it best in his response, it's not the filmmaker's job to teach morality. They're there to tell stories, nothing more, nothing less. If movies (which are works of FICTION, last I checked) were meant to illustrate moral lessons, then they couldn't show people cheating on their spouses, people cheating on their taxes, teachers having inappropriate relations with students (there actually WAS a movie about a female teacher having a relationship with an underaged boy IIRC, where was the outrage by the moral police then, huh?), people running red lights, people jaywalking, the list goes on.

I have my boundaries when it comes to movies, I don't like gross-out/torture porn movies; movies that are gross just for the sake of grossing out (Hostel, Human Centipede, Captivity, A Serbian Film, etc.), but even I don't go around pretending like THC encourages doctors to perform sick medical experiments on patients or Hostel encourages sick death games or A Serbian Film encourages rape, pedophilia, necrophilia, torture and shit-eating, and these plot points literally serve NO other purpose than to be nauseating. It's just people desperately looking for something to be outraged by and a simple scapegoat.
