it was really good

Haven't seen it but I heard it's really good.

The sensationalized media fear mongering has been pretty amusing though.

I've only heard positive things about the movie. I'm going to see it with some friends on Friday and I'm really looking forward to it.

I'll have to check it out, but if what I'm guessing happens is what happens then I kind of get the controversy tbh.

Saw it the other day and it was fucking dull. Pretentious as hell and with surface level commentary. Baby's first "deep movie". Legit felt like it had been written by a 12 year old.

5/10 would not see again.

joaquin's performance was the main thing for me, i thought he did a fantastic job like he always does

the tone was refreshing and unique for a comic book movie, and it barely like a comic book movie at all

main issue for me was the originality; the taxi driver + king of comedy inspiration was a little too strong

What did those 3 miserable alcoholics from Milwaukee that pretend to be VCR repairmen think of the movie?

Mike and Jay both liked the later parts of the film but felt it was a bit weak overall and borrowed too heavily from other films. I think Mike liked it more than Jay.

I kind of feel like Jay has been getting a lot better at analyzing films and Mike hasn't been doing much of anything.

Someone at RLM has to be aware of this, and so a lot of times I think Jay elects to agree with Mike (maybe even in direct contradiction to things he's already said) just to keep up the ruse that they're equals on the program.

Solonoid · October 09, 2019, 08:21:15 PM

Like, it's actually cringy to watch Jay make a really smart observation and then backpedal on it to agree with Mike.

Well what I thought was going to happen didn’t happen so I’m not sure how this warrants controversy. I was really enjoying the first 2/3 of the movie and then thought it all started to crumble once he becomes the Joker. I’m honestly not sure what they were going for in some places but I’m pretty sure they failed.

I’ll say 6/10 for Joaquin and the cinematography. Can’t wait for Joker 2 since WB has no idea what to do with these properties.

So over the past couple of weeks I watched Taxi Driver and The King of Comedy. Both were excellent films.

It was a really good film, I actually found some parts difficult to watch though.
