I will pass. I’m selective about what films I pay to see. Downton Abby was more my speed.

“The film, as most everyone knows by now...”

No.

And it’s made up. Suggests nothing. Has no bearing with reality.

The comic book Joker, at least through the 1960s with Batman, was more of a character who wore the paint-face, and told jokes....being a strategist. As you got into the 1980s and 1990s, he was a guy on a mission to bring change or revolution. Crime was his tool, but he was out to revolutionize society.

This is the difference between Jack Nicholson’s Joker and the Heath Ledger/Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker. This modern Joker is the equivalent of Batman on intellect. He’s focused on bringing revolution for the little guy.

Hollywood released another violent, sadistic, revenge-fantasy instruction video on how to commit mass murder. They call it "art".

When the next mass murder happens, Hollywood will blame the NRA.

Thought about seeing it a couple of days ago. Then the hubby saw that Robert De Niro was in it. That was a solid no go for him.

Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right...

I hear DeNiro gets shot in the face. Could be worth it.

‘Joker’ Review: Todd Phillips Blasts America’s Bitter, Jealous, Violent, Fascist Woketards

by JOHN NOLTE  4 Oct 2019

Imagine you’re Todd Phillips, a white heterosexual male under constant attack just for being a white heterosexual male — as in, White heterosexual males are problematic, especially rich ones who make bro comedies.

Hey, art is subjective, and I went into this thing assuming it would be a tribute of sorts to Martin Scorsese’s Taxi Driver (1976) and King of Comedy (1982), a new approach to comic book fare — you know, that kind of thing.

But I saw what I saw, and what I saw is this…

An artist who turned his legitimate frustrations with the Antifa-Occupy-Black Lives Matter-Resistance crybabies, these anarchist-fascists who seek to marginalize men like Todd Phillips for who he is, punish him for his success, and then censor his art. I think Phillips took all of that and turned it into his muse, not only to create the stunning Joker, but to reinvent himself as an artist.

“Joker is you!” Phillips is saying. “Joker is the godless god you spoiled losers worship; a sociopath who believes in nothing, who wants to burn down society because he’s not happy all the time — your leader is Madness, Anarchy, Intolerance, Jealousy, Envy, Bigotry, and Hate.”

But there is something real going on here. When I was asked to talk to students at a capitol city University a few years back I couldn’t help but notice that the students were 90% female at the time. I commented that it must be great to be a guy on campus nowadays. But there is something sick going on there. 20 something males are being discarded by society as worthless. Creates a powder keg of resentment. Eliot Rogers is their hero. What could possibly go wrong?

So many great scenes from that episode.

If Batman and Joker are peers, how is a mature Joker around to meet Bruce Wayne’s parents, who were killed when Bruce was very young? There must be a 20 year gap.

Didn’t Alpha Romeo play the Joker in the TV show?

[uptowngirl]

LOL! I will mention that to him.

[Notthemomma]

No, it was Beto Romero, the volks-wagon (people’s car), not the sports car.
