(Cinema) Joker: Folie à Deux

When was the last time Joaquin had a cheeseburger?!?!

 

I think he’s a vegan and may have been his entire life so…never? Doubtful but maybe.

 

What if he had a plant cheeseburger? Does that count?


Seriously, though. I hope the weight loss is just for the movie. That looks pretty extreme.

 

It's proof that if you slap a comic book name on something the neckbeards will love it - Hollywood

They got people to love Taxi Driver again
and
Then got them to love Lala Land again

LOL

You missed out, my friend. It was great. Great to see in theaters, too.

 

First one was a redux of Kings of Comedy with some Taxi Driver.

This one is supposed to be "inspired" by Francis Ford Coppola's musical One From The Heart....



Todd Philips is making a career of rebranding and packaging old 70s films....

 

just slap a comic book property name on it

Pretty much...

 

To you, great. To me, boring garbage. To each his own.

 

For sure. It was pretty straightforward and unspectacular for much of the beginning of the movie, I'll give you that. Nothing special. But it got better. I liked the very different portrayal of Thomas Wayne, for variety if nothing else. Just saying, maybe it someday will get more than 10 minutes of your time and that wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.

It wasn't a smash-smash Transformers movie, or a Marvel/DC CGI lazer beam shoot-out, but it was good for the type of move it was.

 

even though it was an iconic comic book villain, i didnt see it as a comic book movie at all.

 

With River.

 

Gladiator? Last time I remember him looking healthy.

 

A Joker musical is the cure for all the red pill jokers out there.

Maybe two cheeseburgers?

Manorexia is real yall.

 

I thought the Joker movie was a great origin story. And the acting was superb, imo. Felt in line, but different than Ledger’s Joker. But I liked the darkness and the focus on mental health. I dunno what the hell a jukebox musical is. Hopefully just means they have more Frank Sinatra music. I had never heard That’s Life before this movie. Such a great song but now I feel creepy when I blast it.

 

Even then he was pale af. Not sure if that was purposeful or what.

 

Clearly directing Old School and Starsky and Hutch best prepares one for a psychotic comic book musical.

I really like Gaga so I might give it a try.

 

I didn't see the movie, but he looked healthy enough in that Napoleon movie last year.

 

The first one is a really good movie. I haven't finished it yet but the drama and acting and cinematography is very high. Like others have said, a lot of homages to classic films from the 70s. I'll probably see the sequel at some point. And no, I don't read comic books.
