Damn, I hope you expand on that at some point. I was looking forward to The Joker.

I worked on Joker and it was a daily disaster. Thought it looked good from the trailer but I'm anticipating all the reactions.

I don't think Todd Phillips fully understood Taxi Driver.

Didn't realize it was a Todd Phillips movie. Now I get why it sucks.

Well okay, Todd Phillips and his "above-the-line" crew were from LA and acted totally ignorant about NY union laws. So for those of us who worked on it there was a constant battle for shit we were owed. And their excuse every time was "oh, we're from LA, so we didn't know" Assholes basically

I have no desire to see Joker at this point. After Phillips' recent comments about how he "quit comedy because of the wokeness" or whatever I'm not putting a single dollar in that dude's pocket. Also even the first Hangover movie sucked and Old School is early 00s Will Ferrell's worst movie.

Established Ferrel as a comedy film star and far from his worst from that period. Kicking and Screaming? Bewitched? Stranger Than Fiction?

Ferrell himself was great in the movie, but it doesn't really hold up as being very funny outside a couple of gags. And I'm comparing it against Anchorman, Talladega Nights, Zoolander (he wasn't the star here but a big enough character to group it in), Elf and Wedding Crashers. I have never seen Kicking and Screaming, Bewitched or Stranger Than Fiction so I can't comment there.

Don't have much interest in the movie, but coverage on Joker inspiring shooters and whatnot hitting the local news is bringing me back to the days of concerned parents going after Grand Theft Auto. So fucking bizarre that we're still on this stuff.

Nah I think there is actually merit to this. In 2019, when public shootings are commonplace and, in numerous cases, inherently tied to resentful incel culture, it's something to at least be cognizant of.

I think both sides were looking for a message that wasn't there. Joker isn't groundbreaking, but its not horrible either. Best part about it is obviously Joaquin. Worth the watch just for him and the setting alone.

I just got out of Joker and even though I enjoyed it the performances are just so much better than the actual film.

This is about the only place I am seeing any disdain for Joker. Most people, and especially cinephile buddies have done nothing but raved. I’m stoked to see it Monday.

I don’t search twitter for reactions about anything generally speaking because it’s such a reactionary echo chamber. 58 on meta with as many reviews, so ehhh. I often side with audience ratings more often than not.

VFW was a fun zombie movie that has no zombies. Fred Williamson continues to be the fucking shit. Stephan Lang ruled. William Sadler killed it too.

I'm sure everyone's heard about that new Will Smith movie where he fights uncanny valley Grand Moff Tarkin.
