purple_beard Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Joker/theater --Yo, that was a different level.... Not gonna say much but because of spoilers right now but ...yo.... Quote Link to comment
Ithrak Utopia Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Joker is probably my favorite film of this year. Very character driven, dark, cohesive...and the score is pretty much perfect for the character, what issues arise and situations that occur. It's a different kind of comic book inspired movie, and I found that very refreshing. Quote Link to comment
Ridley Prime Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Yeah, with all the good things I had been hearing about it leading up to and shortly after release, think I’m gonna see Joker sometime early next week when I’m off. All the Heath Ledger would be proud comments felt inspiring particularly. The controversy surrounding the film left me a little tilted, but I respect that they stepped up security for the film at most places just in case. Quote Link to comment
Ridley Prime Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 (edited) The Bruce Wayne cameos felt kinda forced, but otherwise excellent film. This will definitely be as remembered as other hits like The Dark Knight, though I'm just glad it turned out DC had a hit this year at all when Marvel struck as hard as they did with End Game. The media and things spinning controversy against Joker ironically only made it more successful in the end too. Edited October 8, 2019 by Ridley Prime Quote Link to comment

I mean, I'd go t5 for 2019 easy. The psychology angle was it's strongest play. 7 hours ago, Ridley Prime said: The Bruce Wayne cameos felt kinda forced, but otherwise excellent film.

I thought the Wayne family tie in angle to the story arc was well played and gave a more direct line to the intertwined Batman/joker story. The whole you created me, I created you play while making it on a personal level. Quote Link to comment
Ridley Prime Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Fair point. It’s just assuming this is a standalone film and separate from the rest of the DCCU (no way can I relate this Joker to the Suicide Squad one or anything), the Bruce cameo/tie-in wouldn’t feel the most necessary, but I won’t complain how they made the connection which was still clever.

Ridley Prime Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Sorry Leto... You just didn't work out, so you're being recalled. purple_beard, Ithrak Utopia and Doc Brown 1 2 Quote Link to comment
purple_beard Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 I am pissed off now.... Apparently my BluRay players I already own, when Netflix updates their app in December, will be obsolete to run NetFlix. Not going to buy new ones just for Netflix. Not going to replace tvs with built in NF just for NF use. Customer Service guy goes you could use a Amazon firestick..... really? Quote Link to comment

His version of Joker arguably worked for SS, but lets be real..... his deal felt like some guy trying to be hip with the blinged out teeth and all the tats and trying to be Joker.

Ithrak Utopia Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 I can imagine he would be upset, but the performance level wasn't there and Suicide Squad was just okay. After seeing Joker a second time, I would say it is my favorite film that I've seen this year and would also say that Joaquin Phoenix is my favorite live action Joker. I picked up on Arthur's psychological issues more and do believe there are a number of delusions mainly centering around Sophie and Thomas Wayne. I do though believe or want to believe that most of the film's events are real. The way I look at the ending specifically is that Arthur had been arrested again after rising among the clowns and sent to Arkham, where he had thought of the Waynes' murders and killed the staff member.

Ridley Prime Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 https://www.nme.com/news/film/joaquin-phoenix-says-hes-open-potential-joker-sequel-2555233 Yes please. Whether it’s connected to the DCCU or is its own separate universe, I don’t care. Make it happen! Quote Link to comment

Ridley Prime Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Has been awhile since I’ve been hyped at a movie being this successful. Guess it helps that it’s not something under the Disney banner, so is refreshing in that sense. Quote Link to comment

Link, the Hero of Dreams Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 ... Oh yeah, saw it too. Petition Phoenix and Downey Jr. for their performances. Quote Link to comment
