I watched Joker and liked it well enough but not sure if I'd watch it again soon. Though I think once he's in full Joker garb at the end Phoenix is a pretty good looking Joker. We did have a trailer for the Birds of Prey movie and it looked interesting. I haven't read a lot of Harley Quinn so for people who have and have seen the trailer is that how Quinn acts these days?

You see some in Crime Alley at the end. They were big, I remember, because I was way more interested in that than everything else going on in the movie.

what if they accidentally made the cgi rats too big, and rather than correct it they just added a line about mutant rats to the news at the start

This is something that came up with the Telltale game as well, but Batman to me works better as a nigh-obsessed individual trying to accomplish a hopeless thing VS the Waynes are lovely because they're rich, so Batman is cleaning up his stupid parents mess

I don't understand why so many writers are intent on this "Batman is bad, actually" thing. I get the feeling if these same people were writing Captain America in the late 70s/80s instead of Kirby and Gruenwald we would've ended up with Chris Evans talking about which country the letter on his head stands for.
I think it's the mix of the Moore-ish strain of reading comic books with Batman having a reputation as being the "grounded, realistic superhero" along with the idea that it is intrinsically mature and interesting if everything is lovely.

I've seen shit you people wouldn't believe. Cop cars on fire off the shoulder of I-94. I watched search lights glitter in the dark near the Ambassador Bridge. All those moments will be lost in time, like piss in the drain. Time to retch.
I think that Sentry looking guy is Flula Borg, so that character is probably German.....I don't know if that narrows it down.

There's almost no way this crew isn't the one that I assume dies in the beginning of the movie.

Fine, uhg, I'll click the buggy-rear end link.

Not sure I trust that list but Javelin and Mongal look spot on.

vvvvvvv that would have been hilarious.

Like Jared Leto is how Harley sees the Joker but everyone else sees Pete Davidson who plays him like an unfunny twat.

Captain Boomerang should have been Seth Rogan. Kind of dig his jacket, though.

Finally saw joker last night. Thoughts. Boring and cringy until Subway killing Then actually got tense. I liked it.

As a side thought, it made me realize that the archtypal Batman era for me isn't 30's esque noir, but more 80's neo-noir grime.

From what tiny little bit of pop culture I absorb, he acted kinda creepy and weird about stuff after breaking up with Ariana Grande or something? Or being dumped by her? I forget. I think a lot of the ill will came from that.

I'm not sure that's even fair to blame him for, he's been open about his struggles with bipolar disorder. Not to say that's an excuse or anything.

Yeah I can't seem to find any evidence of that and given that her super fans are loving psychos I'm gonna hold my judgments. I typically just believe the woman in these situations but she had nothing negative to say about him up until her petty-rear end song dropped so I don't have a clue.

If he gets canceled then so be it but til then I like him and I look forward to him getting completely obliterated for laughs in the Suicide Squad.

He recently did a set at a college and called out the audience for not laughing at his stuff of being on their phones or something and it was just eghhhhhh.

Before that it was just him being everywhere and being way, wayyyyy too candid about their relationship (something like "I thank god everytime we have sex/i see her pussy").

I do hate it when comedians get sensitive about that poo poo, I get that it's annoying or whatever but it's a part of the job. I also hate this new trend of super "liberal" comedians complaining about woke/PC culture ruining comedy because people on Twitter didn't like their one pedophilia joke.

To stay relatively on topic Marc Maron shat all over Todd Philipps' excuse for not doing comedy anymore in the intro to a recent WTF and I found it extra hilarious because he's in Joker.

I thought Joker was pretty good. In fact, I'll say it's the first DC movie I would like to see a second time since The Dark Knight. It's not perfect or the best I've ever seen, but it kept me interested.

I actually liked getting suckered in by the unfortunate guy who has a condition and gets completely failed by the healthcare system, not being bothered when he kills 3 people who could not be sympathetic in the slightest, and then getting flipped on my rear end when he kills a completely innocent Zazie Beets outta nowhere.

Joker was alright but gently caress the ending with the riot being the cause of Bruce parents death. The Wayne's death should be completely random because that's what crime can be. An evil act by some random guy can cause tragedy at any time. The idea of it being because the joker and that it's almost like a payback of sorts for Thomas being an rear end in a top hat is just wrong to me.

I kinda felt like that scene could easily be interpreted as Arthur’s fantasy/delusion. He obviously didn’t see that happen. However, if he heard about it after the fact, I could easily see him going “oh, that must have been one of my guys!!” Especially considering we cut right to a psychological interview/evaluation right after we see that moment.

He was more open about it during the dating, which was summed up as, "This is awesome, I don't know how I pulled this off and I'm totally going to screw it up." After they broke up, he treated it as a coy elephant in the room on the show. Like he realized that he was very much media relevant on a show that deals with such topics, but did not want to actually discuss any of it. Grande was annoyed that he was referencing it in any way to begin with.

Read the article, they're embroiled in a very messy custody battle. I'm not saying he didn't do this but they've been sniping at each other for a while. And in case it's not clear, she claims he put the gun in his own mouth, not hers.
