At least a bunch of nerds can pretend they all of a sudden care about a prestigious film festival award now.
The Dark Knight (Joker appearance) - Oscar
Suicide Squad (Joker appearance) - Oscar
Joker (Of course Joker is in it) - Oscar?
OK, one of those things are not like the other.
It would be so cool if this opened up the way for other solo villain movies like Mr. Freeze.
Was my first exposure to Phoenix and I thought this guy is either really high or kind of hilariously into it. He even tried to stick his tongue out at one point and I was like, oooh someone saw a statue in Italy and got an ideaAll anyone had to do was watch his portrayal of Claudius in Gladiator to realize he's perfect for Joker
It's assumed by some that the subject matter- a white man with mental issues being bullied and not being given help by society before turning to harming innocents instead of seeking help himself- might inspire the alt-right in some manner, or that it might be used to try to recruit young men to the alt-right.Would anyone mind explaining why some people are saying this movie is alt-right? I'm totally out of the loop and have only seen one of the trailer that came out a long time ago.
A seeming majority of Joker posts on Era are from people bitching about other posters saying it will inspire mass shootings as thought it's some forum hivemind consensus when a handful of posters across the forums have suggested it.
Clock King (2022) starring George Clooney.
yeah but the tone of this thead this is a total 180 from the reactions in the script leak topic
tbh i don't really begrudge ppl from making assessments given the material available. i just think the idea that 'alt right incels' would feel more energized/culturally influenced by a movie about a comic villain than the literal leader of the free world openly courting that same demographic reeks ass of similar PMRC/CCA hysteria
Posting on video gaming forum about some comic book movie also makes you a nerdAt least a bunch of nerds can pretend they all of a sudden care about a prestigious film festival award now.

... but realistically, the alt-right (the alt-light in particular) does this with every piece of remotely popular media that can be implied to apply to their world view at some point in the story. So unless the film objectively portrays the Joker as spouting blatant white nationalist talking points and implies he is completely in the right to do so, there's really nothing to worry about. And it doesn't seem like that's even remotely the case.

Hangover 1 and 2 are very fun movies. 3 is pile of garbage though.The Hangover writer did Chernobyl this year and the director did Joker. What a turnaround.
I wonder how Jared Leto is feeling right now lolIncredible, we went from that pile of shit 'damaged' (Leto) Joker, to this one.
I wonder what DC is doing for their universe in grander scheme of things, especially post acquisition.
How many indications that is a masterpieces do you need?Joker |OT| Il leone nella società
On topic: I've read a lot of reviews and I'm still not quite sold on it, I think something's afoot but I'm happy to eat crow if it turns out to be such a masterpiece like they're selling it.
That he should have pick a better director.
you are saying this on a video game fourm of all places. Where the biggest thread here are reviews threads in no one has played the game.Generally watching it yourself and making your own opinion on it? I'm amazed so many people in this thread calling it a masterpiece has already seen the movie.
It would be hilarious if this gets a Last Jedi style split between critics and audiences.

Not saying that winning the big award at any festival (no matter how big) translates to anyone finding a specific film good (something that very well applies to "top critics on Rotten Tomatoes" consensus as well), but trying to downplay the status and importance of the Venice Film Festival is extremely silly.Eh, still not sure about this movie, Venice isn't the biggest festival. Still waiting for some top critics on Rotten Tomato before I form an opinion.
People are already putting together online harassment "gangs" inspired by the movie. #JokerGang is one on Twitter. Won't be long until they move it to real life and start beating up people while wearing clown masks.
In other words the movie is already daMAGing American society. And it's not even out yet.People are already putting together online harassment "gangs" inspired by the movie. #JokerGang is one on Twitter. Won't be long until they move it to real life and start beating up people while wearing clown masks.

I'm so glad that Joker is being so well received!
I'm still quite anxious about the movie, but seeing a DC movie do so critically well brings a tear to my eye ;;

Pretty much. Everyone in that film can grow old knowing they had a part in a modern masterpiece and soon to be classic. Not much to worry about at that point in terms of legacy
Joker should host it.
BR2049 is one of my favorite movies of all time but Leto was the weakest link in the movie imo.Pretty much. Everyone in that film can grow old knowing they had a part in a modern masterpiece and soon to be classic. Not much to worry about at that point in terms of legacy
