LOL. There is no way this is true lol

Taxi Driver and King Of Comedy are huge influences on this film, not just aesthetically but themes and subject matter. DeNiro is a host of a popular show that Joker wants to be on, much like DeNiro wanted to be on Jerry Lewis' show in King Of Comedy.I just watched this recently (one of the only Scorsese films I hadn't seen) and my god, it's not even remotely funny. It's arguably as dark as Taxi Driver and shares similar themes and subtext.
Brilliant film but just brutally, unflinchingly disturbing.

might wanna take your own advice before comin' in so hot next time https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika#Buddhism*Hinduism...learn your society, where the fuck do you think you live?
Funny Games too. I mean the title is half right, there is a game. But it definitely isn't funny.

ugh how did i not see that, i can't even tell what's real anymore lol. i guess what they say is true, stare into the clown long enough, and the clown stares backI don't understand this post.
A. My post was in jest.
B. Is it not also used in Hinduism?
C. Is Hinduism not older than Buddhism? In fact, Gautam Buddha is considered one of the avatar's of Vishnu in Hinduism.
D. My post was in jest.
E. If you want to be anal about it, Hinduism paragraph is longer than Buddhism paragraph in you link...
F. I should have also mentioned Jainism because why not?
G. I am slowly turning into joker, joker into turning slowly am I...
H. Actually, the symbol predates all of these religion, so...my conculsion is that society wins.
Venice film fest tends to pick some real stinkers as Golden Lion winners so I'm not sure if this makes me more or less optimistic about the movie.

You might not personally like them, but this is not true at all.
Fine, pick some stinkers in my opinion, so now my subjective way of discerning whether this film has a higher or lower chance at appealing to me is unsure of how to interpret this information.

Im impressed in a bad way the sheer number of people already in that thread watching the clips. No willpower at all.
What are you talking about desperate spin? I'm just saying that, personally, a lot of the choices for Golden Lion have been pretty bad. Looking at the list quickly the only films I've really loved that have won it are Still Life, A City of Sadness, Vagabond and Vive L'Amour. Hana-bi, Rashoman and Three Colors: Blue also stand out as good but not ones I've really loved.lmao yeah Joker is in the hall of shame with legendary piece of shit Rashomon. The desperate spin around this movie is like nothing I've ever seen.

I mean those are the good ones in the list. There's a lot of real stinkers that won the Golden Lion too (Shape Of Water, The Story of Qiu Ju and Lust, Caution come to mind at first looking at the list). Obviously this is all subjective, but a festival that historically is more likely to not match with my tastes vs one that is adds to my skepticism. That's allThey may just be "good" movies to you, but those ones you picked are loved by most critics.
The fact that Phoenix has given apparently the best performance of his career should alone be enough to be better than the trash that Marvel always puts out.
Does it?
It is obviously open to interpretation but I think there's a good chance all of that was just his delusion, which is what most of this film is predicated on. I'm not entirely certain but that's how I was leaning at the end of the film.
Why is that Joker spoiler thread blowing up so quick? Is the movie psychotic or something
Nice pic. Joaquin looks good and healthy.Just wanted to share one of my pictures of Joaquin from the premiere in Toronto tonight:

Are you high?
That's pretty crazy. I think Roma won it last year for context
fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck, thats it. holy shit. I watch a lot of damn movies too. Greatest blindspot of all time for me.You were probably confusing it with Kings of Comedy which is a popular comedy documentary
Videodrome would be another one. Its themes about media consumption and radicalization are disturbingly relevant and scarily prescient in the age of social media, 8Chan, Youtube algorithms, etcKing of Comedy is that rare kind of movie that's far more relevant nowadays than it was at it's release 35 years ago, it almost feels prescient. It's absolutely brilliant and deserves the recognition it didn't get at release, at the very least Joker will make more people aware of it.
