I suspect the total for today will be 14m. Incredible film. 9.9/10, as a Joker fan, this is everything I never knew I wanted out of an origin story. Has flaws, but man this movie gets you feeling (and the flaws are really minor).
The only 10/10 for me is the dark Knight.

I watched the movie yesterday and I thought it was great, it lived up to my expectations, 9/10 from me for now, maybe 9.5 after rewatch. It's actually really different from the script (even though many scenes, dialogues and plot are the same), Zazie and Phillips didn't lie after all, some big changes completely change perception of the story. I'm not sure about some cuts/small changes, need a rewatch, but overall I think it was an improvement over the script, at least in some big changes.
How should one prepare for the violence/horror? Like is there a movie with similar violence? I don't want to sit in the theatre and have to waste 5 minutes adjusting to the violence lmao.

I think we should ask some american critics the same question.
Well that has economic incentives, but the point still remains.
My question is where did the post go? Am i blind or did it get deleted?

He hated the movie so much before watching I don't think it matters if he did.
Why would one watch a movie they already hate? Seems like self-inflicting punishment.

Scotiabank Theatre Vancouver:
AVX - Thursday is at 419/2139, 20%. Friday (443/1286), 34%.
Regular - Thursday (71/775), 9.2%, these showings were added really late. There is none still for Friday.
Cineplex Strawberry Hill:
AVX - Thursday (64/648), 10%. Friday (174/846), 21%.
Regular - Thursday (22/750), 3%. Again added late.
Cineplex Metropolis:
AVX - T (123/1103), 11%. F (198/1468), 13.4%.
Regular - T (66/1322), 5%.
Landmark New Westminster:
Regular - T (19/120, 55/92, 79/120, 57/90, 48/78, 30/73, 24/104, 21/120, 5/78= 335/875, 36%) F (15/104, 18/120, 19/92 ~ early showings, 38/120, 78/93, 103/120, 65/92, 87/120 = 464/861, 50%).
Some context on these numbers:
The first three theatres are owned by cineplex. These showings have majority of movie watchers (like 60%) book tickets on the day of the showing. Landmark usually has most people book early because they sell fast. For instance, Cineplex Strawberry hill has a Landmark nearby and that is sold at around 35%.

Funny how there's so many actresses in the industry who are also great at their job that don't abuse their cast. Hell Heath Ledger didn't cause problems or pull stupid bullshit like Phoenix and Leto have become known for. Being an asshole "for teh artz" doesn't get you a pass for being an unprofessional shithead. People need to stop glorifilying unprofessional horseshit as being a deep savant.
Yet Phoenix by all accounts is a great person to work with. You are making it seem that a well-respected actor is a diva. Dig deeper.

Side note: I think the second and third weeks will be strong. People who fear a shooting may elect to go on the second or third week for safety reasons.

Imagine thinking I'm "so mad" because I have no interest in a Joker movie. Why would I give it a chance if nothing about it looks interesting to me? Why do I think it will say nothing interesting? Because Todd Phillips has never had anything interesting to say.
Keep reaching with that Ruska Romani argument. As I said, there are many Romani people who don't look white nor would they be described as such. This hardly confirms Wick's whiteness.
Of course you would like to argue that context doesn't matter. Lol Yeah, doesn't matter that domestic terrorists resemble someone more like this Joker than John Wick. Fact is, when a movie aims for social commentary, it's going to be judged differently than your normal action movie, as it should be. This is what Phillips wanted...he wanted to make a "real movie" and so he should have been prepared for all that comes with that.
So many fans were convinced that this was going to be some groundbreaking, game-changing movie... like nothing you've seen in the genre before! And now that it isn't getting universal praise, they can't handle it. They are doing their best to try trivialize even legitimate criticism and dismiss all critics, American critics anyway.
Firstly, this is nothing that the CBM has seen before. To say otherwise is to be ignorant.
Secondly, why are we dismissing the American critics again? Clearly you understand the division between American and European critics on this film. Yet you only side with the American critics without bringing up the European ones who say this is an "interesting" film. That's makes everything your saying as worse than whatever you think supporters of this film are saying. You are ignoring a large portion of this film's critical response because you want all evidence that you cite to fit your narrative.
And don't now acknowledge that the European reviews are good but that this doesnt diminish your argument. You don't deserve an opinion if that is the case.

This is some.... ridiculously unprofessional ass shit right here
Here you again. Wouldn't it be great if no one was following this film and then you could just say false and incorrect stuff without anyone calling you out on your BS?
If you actually read articles where these quotes originate from then you would realize that this is part of Joaquin's method acting. Do you know how intense it is to play the Joker? Isn't incredible that Joaquin has the self-awareness to walk out when he doesn't feel right? Why are you calling it unprofessional for an actor to walk out because he feels he needs to take a break?
Joaquin is one of the most respected actors in the industry. Stop making up BS.

Good lord. Are you actually reading my posts? Did I say anything he said changed my opinion? Have I not always made it clear that I have no interest in this movie or confidence in Phillips' ability to tell an interesting story? My opinion has always been the same... that there is literally nothing I have seen or heard about this movie or Phillips or any movie he has done that makes me think that he has anything interesting or original or thought provoking to say. The fact that he has since made multiple ignorant comments is just more proof of that, not *the* proof I needed. Get it??
Yikes at you thinking that Ruska Roma is tantamount to white. The Romani people are originally from India and many of them even now would not be described as white. Hardly the proof you seem to think it is.
Wick may not be a good person but I'd say it matters that 1) he didn't want to kill 2) he doesn't kill or go after random, innocent civilians 3) he's not positioned as mentally ill 4) the JW movies aren't aiming for social commentary or some larger message about our society. The latter continues to highlight the most hilarious defense for Joker, a movie that's praised for being more than a popcorn movie but its defenders can't help but try to compare it to such movies to expose some sort of hypocrisy. Oh, the irony...
Phillips has brought to our attention of the risks of stealing Mike Tyson's tiger when in Vegas. That's a lesson Samuel Johnson would have been proud of.

LMAO @Firepower accused the press of plotting literal terrorism and loosely paraphrasing what the Aurora victims said is a bridge too far?
What's with your and Ororo's overreliance on phrases such as lol and lmao? Starting with that doesn't take away from the OP nor does it validate your point. And I have no idea why you are deflecting my questions and aiming to change the subject. I never discussed Firepower, I am talking about you.
Answer my question first.

The Irishman already certified fresh at 41 reviews, while fellow De Niro joint Joker still hasn't got it at 127 reviews. Sad!
What a disgrace. The Irishman should be banned in all countries. A movie that glorifies crime and gang life for 3 hours and 20 minutes. We can deal with it being 3 hours, but the extra 20 minutes will ensure that the ignorant white man will now try to become a gangster and commit crimes! Disgusting! /s

If Todd Phillips is so intent on making a "real movie" he should be prepared to actually answer real questions, especially when the government and police also have expressed very real concerns as well. The Trump DoD is not the "far left" by any stretch of the imagination. Unless you think they're in on the plot to orchestrate mass shootings like the press supposedly is?
Speaking of answering the real questions, why don't you answer for the fact that you purposely misconstrued what victims of a shooting had said so that you could create a false narrative just because you're a fanboy. Why don't you answer for this? Do you have no ethics?

Lol
It truly is something to see you lot resort to name calling because you can't handle criticism of this movie. Pretty clear that Phillips himself wanted this awards bait rip off to be seen as a "real movie" which makes it all the more hilarious to see him complain about no one questioning "white man" Keanu killing peope in John Wick. Lol!
Lol
It truly is something to see you lot resort to name calling because you can't handle the truth about the media. Pretty clear that you wanted this Golden Lion Winner to be seen as an "awful movie" which makes it all the more hilarious to see you unable to accept the "white man" Todd Phillips win. Lol!

Six of one half dozen of the other. I'm not the one calling actual victims of mass shootings with REAL concerns idiots or claiming the press want terrorist attacks to happen.
The real claim of shooting victims is for gun reform. You are actively changing that to fit your narrative. Don't take the high ground here and use victims to defend your argument.

I wasn't going to respond to this but I must say that "not all white men..." gave me chuckle. Thanks.
We straight up have a racist and sexist here.
3 hours ago, SpiderByte said:So now apparently the track is that by reporting on warnings of a potential massacres, the media wants to cause a mass shooting to...hurt Jokers reception? Seriously? People think the media wants civilians to die so that Joker looks bad?????
You realize shooters have manifestos that they want aired with the most publicity. The media just provided them a platform through this hysteria. Take off your marvel and DC glasses and see the bigger picture.

What I realize is that there are plenty of misconceptions about mental illness. That it is the automatic defence for white men who terrorize is one of the reasons this movie is receiving criticism. The idea that it's spreading awareness via a character like Joker is laughable. The irony is apparently lost on you.
Please expand on that first sentence. And the second sentence is, and i say this as a POC, racist and sexist. White men does not just equal incel domestic terrorists.
Honestly the discourse that you are repeating here around white men, mental illness, and domestic terrorism is very assumptive and with great tunnel vision. Some people are hateful and deserve no sympathy. Others are mentally ill and react violently as a result. These people can be also very hateful, but to dehumanize them as just "white men" doing "white men" stuff is problematic (and one of things the movie addresses).
I suggest you spend time around white men with severe mental illness and who commit violence. Are they hateful and danergous? Sometimes. Are they incredibly ill? Yes. But people can still commit awful acts with mental illness, and still be human. I have been around enough ex-criminals, ex-hateful incels, and ex-Neo Nazis, and I can tell you that people can change. Not all white men are incel terrorists. Even the ones that are, can change because they are human that were put in awful situations.
So why does it bleeping matter who addresses these social issues? Would you rather the white male Santa do it? The king of Christmas coming this October. Joker isn't the first movie to address the callousness of society with white men and won't be the last. The joker has the same impact on violence that John wick has on people getting headshots in real life. Zero.
