    Joaquin Phoenix "JOKER" movie

    Just seen it, yes I know i'm incredibly late --- by perhaps years

    Still, --- LOVE this movie !!!

    Dare I say, --- Best DC hero movie since Superman 2 !!!

    Yes, wiping out all of Tim Burtin's Batmans crap including Christian Bale's Bat-Dreck years.

    I could seriously get into a Joaquin Phoenix JOKER movie

          Good movie, but it’s one of those one-watch and you are done movies for me.

            100 percent agree. It's very derivative of Scorcese and not the game-changer many people are touting. The notion of Todd Phillips overseeing DC films from now on does not fill me with any positivity at all.

              I agree it's a difficult film to re-watch. Stellar performance though.

                It seems like it was written as a typical psycho story, perhaps a poor man's Taxi Driver -- and then reworked to fit the Joker narrative.

                Still like it though

                  No, not sarcasm. Simple hyperbole comparing the amount of time since Joker was released and the amount of time that has passed since commercial bakeries were offering presliced bread direct to the customer. The use of the phrase cat's pajamas was intended to reinforce that. Apparently this was taken the wrong way. All apologies if this offended you.
                  Fun fact...sliced bread appeared just after Betty White's birth so sliced bread was a the best thing since Betty White.

                    Poor man's Taxi Driver/King of Comedy. It was interesting and had good performances but I can't see myself popping it in again ever.

                      Yes.

                      Mmm, perhaps that’s why Robert DeNiro decided to be in this movie after reading the script.

                          rumor about the sequel. It will be a musical. Lady Gaga will play Harley Quinn.

                            The Deer Hunter comes to mind.

                              It's either a joke, or a really terrible idea!
