Someone here once called Todd Phillips "Turd Fartlips" and I still smile when I think about it, because I am seven years old.

Actually it's not as bad as I thought, basically it only has to be like the fifth highest grossing non-disney non-animated musical ever in order to break even if we go by twice budget. Sounds like a sure thing in the proven ironic dark super hero musical genre

Also if it is R rated like the first film, it simply has to outperform the highest grossing R rated musical, ????????????, by a factor of ??????????????

Their mistake was to not cast Taylor Swift as both The Joker and Harley Quinn.

You don't need to understand economics at all to get an MBA, even less so to fall out of the right vagina.

I guarantee Todd went:
"Look, Joker cost 60 mill and made 600. If the next one costs 200 mill, it'll make you 2 Billy. That's just basic maths. Do you want to have the highest grossing film in history or not?"

And the execs all cheered and did a line and signed it off, except for the one genius exec who worked his way up from the mailroom. He wasn't gonna fall for that gambit so easily.

"Now just a minute Todd. You can't absolutely guarantee that it will make that much money. I'm going to need more from you. Will I get to see Lady Gaga's tits?"

Todd Lied and said yes and here we are.

Joker builds a giant blue laser that jokerifies people. It also makes Harley huge, and she destroys Gotham kaiju-style. And then we learn it was all a dream.

X jakk is great and out of the blue I sent him a sensitive story about something bad that happened to me that I don’t share with others, just because he seems like a nice guy. I mean, he hasn’t responded, but he didn’t screenshot it and post a thread titled “HEY EVERYONE, GET A LOOK AT THIS WEIRDO!”, so that’s gotta be worth something.

this one is funny cos

i think it must have been engineered by the marketing team, because i think it hugely played into the big box office that movie did. this is a 'dangerous' movie in a world of safe movies - i mean it's a loving comic book movie so no, but they did it. they convinced a lot of people that this might be TRANSGRESSIVE to go see this movie cos there is a 0.0001% chance someone might get shot in your very screening, that's how crazy it is.

you're playing with fire there because america the country is loving stupid and maybe somebody actually WOULD get shot but you know what? that would only make it a legendary movie, profitable for decades.

the actual movie? kinda boring king of comedy rip off with 1 good scene and an almost good ending that they ruined with the denouement scene. everybody leaves semi-satisfied, little bored, little disappointed.

the movie truly was...jokers trick

They made this look just as annoying as the games, if not more so :chloe:

Pass!

Is Jaime Lee Curtis playing Tannis? Why is this movie filled with geriatrics? None of these characters are middle-aged (or elderly for that matter).

Lady Gaga is playing Harley Quinn? Who is casting this poo poo? Did they turn casting over to the AIs?

All the news outlets coming up with their best “lol another Batman shooting” headlines and throwing all their money into a wishing well just praying that lots of people die so their hard work writing hilarious headlines pays off.


Hey on the bright side it caused my screening to have almost as many armed cops as their were people watching the movie, that was pretty funny
