Joker: Folie a Deux | October 4, 2024 | Lady Gaga is Harley Quinn in this 200M+ musical sequel

[WittyUsername]

In hindsight, Joker does feel like the kind of movie that only really could’ve been a big hit in the late 2010s. Something about it just seemed perfectly evocative of the culture at the time.

Also, helped that it released in the peak CBM craze era. Lot of normie fans were curious how it would connect to Batman.

Seeing this in 1 hour! Please send some thoughts and prayers. I am purely seeing this because I am a gay man and will see anything with Gaga in it.

She's disingenuous here, first Joker was one of her favourite movies, she clearly didn't have this opinion back then, it's just hate wagon.

Bullshit.

That is exactly what this "If you like Gaga and are a man you are gay" nonsense is.

Yuo can say that about a lot of movies.....including, Ironically enough, Taxi Driver.

Not only is not a shock that Phillips took the direction he took with the sequel - his whole career is Donny at the end of Assassination Nation "I don't know... For the lulz" with really nothing worth engaging beyond that simple notion - it's even less of a surprise there are reactions on X like this one.

…Lmao oops.

 

Ok, the incel crowd was satiated by the insurrection and they no longer need Joker. Same difference.

I mean have you seen South Korea?

Hopefully people go and watch the Martin Scorsese films the first ripped off. King of Comedy is underrated 

[Mad Max007]

Hmm

Just left the theater.

 

There is a great film here muddled underneath the musical sequences (I'd say one or maybe two musical sequences did anything to forward the story). This should NOT have been a musical whatsoever. 

 

There were sequences with so much tension and anticipation that are immediately extinguished of all momentum once the singing begins. Utterly unnecessary for this to have been a musical and it robbed the film from delving deeper into its characters.

 

It has a lot to say, though. I'd give it a C - the musical scenes were so aggravating. 

 

I saw it with three others...all are in complete agreement that they would have enjoyed the film had it not been a musical. Dumbass decision from WB to allow it.

This is confusing to me because it’s very obvious no one in the industry was expecting this financial disaster. Obviously no one expects or hopes for bombs, but no one know about this? And if they did, it didn’t set off red flags in the industry.

 

We had Jeff Sneider saying Planet of the Apes tested poorly months in advance and it still did fine, but a Joker musical sequel not test screening didn’t make waves?

 

 Also this is the same studio that convinced people that The Flash was a once-in-a-generation kind of film, so maybe studios are much better at keeping a lid on things or selling a narrative than I thought.

Well Grace Randolph liked one of my tweets, so she can stay. Critical Drinker can be shot to the sky though.
