Lol come on. You think a song choice during probably the best scene in the entire movie was made simply to "troll the press"?I can't speak for others, but if you read my posts in the thread, I never attacked the film. Simply made the observation that the song choice seemed like another attempt by the director to troll critics.
Anyone who follows sports in the US knows about Glitter. The NFL stopped using his songs a decade ago, and a bunch of NHL teams stopped using his music in 2015 because of his conviction.
The San Jose Sharks (to use a local example) were quite public about the decision.
The hysteria was driven primarily by the director. He's been out there playing the victim card since the film started press tours, and whined about wokeness killing comedy.
Do you really think he wouldn't have made a song choice like this to troll audiences and critics?
That was the basis of the OP.
So I guess you DO agree with the OP then.
This is ironic given that you came in complaining about the premise of the OP only to turn around and agree with the OP, despite claiming that OP was in bad faith. ;)
That's exactly why the thread was made. From the way he's been promoting the film, I've no doubt decisions like this were made simply to troll and get reactions.
LOL that gif is gold.When you spent weeks saying this movie was for Incels but it wasn't
When you spent weeks saying this movie was going to empower the alt-right but it didn't

When you tried to say it paid a pedo to use their song, but didn't, and all you accomplished was making the pedo more famous in a country where he was a virtual unknown

People are allowed to separate art from the artist.Yes. The people who find it questionable listening to a serial child rapist are the ones with the problem.
Fucking incredible

Joker: Five letters
You could put "insert movie title here" for that thread lolJust need a title Update
Joker movie features a song from a convicted pedophile
I would agree if this were the first time the movie was receiving undeserved criticism, but it's like the 4th or 5th time now.Honestly, the celebrating over defeating "cancel culture" being more louder than simply being relieved that a pedophile isn't getting a cent? Says a lot more about people than anything.
The soundtrack alone is worth it at the cinemaI gotta check out this film. Personally, I didn't really see any videos/build up leading up to the release so I was kinda surprised that this film was controversial.
Daaaaamn can't wait to watch this honestly.
