It's wild that Joker is the most profitable comic book movie of all time. Box office of a billion with a budget of 65 (or 130 if u buy into the double the reported budget rule of thumb)

Really it was barely a comic book movie, it was basically Taxi Driver

The only real connections to Batman were "when I go out there, call me the Joker" and the rear end in a top hat politician being namedropped as Bruce Wayne's dad

so, basically, this is proof that that Marvel blogger who said they should make non-superhero MCU movies was right all along

or maybe people just love the joker that much

Here's the thing, I'm a feminist.





the big dance scene thats the climax of Joker 2 is on an elevator this time because test audiences favorite part of the first dancing scene was the change in elevation and they gotta keep raising the stakes in the sequels, also theres three jokers now and theyre in love and they kiss

Corridor Crew on youtube does a great job of breaking down mostly modern VFX shots, but they'll occasionally look at older stuff (with the original artists!) and have their minds blown by matte paintings and miniatures. They look at Total Recall in this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKt18K_Sy0I

s3 of witcher is going to be the last one, unquestionably, and it is getting axed. it lost it';s social media pizzaz, its too expensive compared to reality tv shows and comedy specials, netflix is hemorrhaging badly, and they never make anything past s3 (most dont make it past 2)

i watched the new season of stranger things and it looked insanely expensive. the actors have all become a lot more famous, there's shitloads of extras, and the number of sets was huuuuuge. filming this during the pandemic must've been a pretty penny

that made me realize that yet another way King Bran was the dumbest possible ending is there's just gonna be another loving succession crisis when he dies without heirs, literally thousands of deaths are inevitable because they crowned a kid whose dick don't work

this would, of course, have happened under Queen Daenerys too, since she is infertile due to a gypsy curse or something from season 1

Isn't he a semi-immortal super spy wizard with mind control powers? I'm pretty sure that combination should make up for a succession crises a couple of centuries later, in terms of stability. I mean, that's how he got the job in the first place.

yea it's really their only flagship show so they went heavy into it, but htey went heavy into it while "netflix is boomer" with perpetual capital growth. i don't think they're going to be doing that anymore, and after it ends (soon?) they're probably just goign to keep tripling down on comedy specials and reality tv. after all, why shouldn't they? everyone always says "oh yea i just use netflix for background noise when cleaning/cooking/takin care of the kids/study" anyways and it's the perfect background noise that you have to spend close to $0 to make

and anyways witcher is definitely far from a flagship show, it had some social mediation sensation for the first season but second season hit like a turd in an ocean.

witcher season 2 was still good but definitely a step down from s1. way less time spent with geralt doing witcher poo poo and way more time on elaborate political machinations which can't possibly begin to pay off given only 8 episodes per season.

i will say ciri's story has been good and her actor has grown into the role quite well.

yea i didnt mean to imply it was bad, just it wasn't as good and more importantly the one thing netflix cares about is all the social media buzz sensational huffpo-buzzfeed-vice-vox media cycles of hype and s2 definitely just went "plunk" as soon as it came out

pretty sure its getting a 3rd anyways but they greenlit it at a time when they were "booming" and now they're busting so it's definitely the last they're making of it regardless of quality
