Just try not to buy an AR and kill everyone afterwards. Unless you're black. If you're black, you should be fine.

I want to see Joker today, but just the thought of buying the ticket awakens my white rage. I listened to Nickelback on a loop all night last night. I dont think I should leave the house.

I think i'll wait for a much safer movie for me to see in public. I'll wait for Bird of Prey. Pale white females throwing bombs from cars and shooting cops, does not get my white man rage boiling at much...because they are white and... female.

Joaquin Phoenix could reasonably be a multiple Oscar winner by now, I hope he gets a few eventually because he's just great.

Don't think he wants one. Pretty sure he hates the academy.

That's his prerogative but his fans should be allowed to see him honoured.
George Scott might not have wanted one but his name sits in the list like all the others. |

lol not that Rotten Tomatoes has much credibility anymore, but I find it funny that the rating for the movie dropped about 15 or 16 percentage points after Todd Phillips spoke out against Woke culture.

Films good. By no meansa masterpiece (a phrase that has been thrown around a bit too much imo) but would definitely recommend it

The media acting like this is the first movie with guns in it and the first movie that is dark is fucking ridiculous.

That's because people who are both in the woke culture and happen to be published film critics submitted their woke reviews and dragged the score down.

agreed
when I look over social media the reviews from people watching are really positive overall, lots of "you have to see this" type comments |

Agreed. I think the week 2 drop off for this will be much smaller than the average and id expect it to stay steady for several weeks

It's already gonna clear $240m globally. This is a smash hit for Warner. And hopefully continues to push them in the directing of allowing their filmmakers artistic freedom.

At some point over the last few years it's shifted from people who were aware of discrimination to people obsessed with finding discrimination of some sort in practically everything

My favorite are white people on Twitter trying to tell me, a Hispanic male who's faced discrimination and racism his entire life, how and why I should be offended by things that are not offensive.

He's more Martin Sheen than Danny Trejo that's for sure

Spoke with a normie today. He hated joker. As far as i can tell he expected an action film. He walked out on the 2nd act.

Joker-9/10
I got what I expected and more. This movie does not try to promote, glorify or justify a triggered individual with mental health issues going over the edge. It is a dark, grim, hopeless and brutal 2 hour film about a man with a start to life so tragic, you realize he never had any real chance to be more than what he is. SPOILER: show |

In any case i found it interesting what a joe blow average movie goer was left with. Moreover the struggle it will be for comic films to transend into more than just blockbusters |

It wasn't marketed as an action film either.
My buddy is an average film goer and thought it was mediocre. |

I've heard mostly good things from other average movie goers. It's making a killing at that box office. Interested to see what kind of legs it has.

I'm going to see it on Sunday.
I didn't have much interest towards the film on the run-up to its release, but all the good press from the far-leftie crowd makes me want to go see it. |
