Such equivocation in the age of Trump is frankly moral cowardice, and I'd honestly have more respect for Joker if it were wholeheartedly the fascist daydream some are dreading. The guy who should've directed this is S. Craig Zahler.

Oh, I wish I had that. It was some generic design with a still from the movie and some text below. Typical college poster sale junk
I wonder if such poster sales still exist -- a bunch of dodgy, probably unlicensed designs sold by a vendor on campus in the first couple weeks of classes, with the idea that all the product was meant purely for dorm room walls. I'm sure there's some greeeeeeat Joker posters.

I'd forgotten until just now that I def had a Taxi Driver poster up in my room at some point during my teen years, I'm kind of astonished in hindsight that my parents never considered it a red flag, but I feel like they probably never saw the movie so maybe they didn't know what it was

I think the problem with edgy teenage behavior in 2019 isn't that it exists -- it always has -- but that it's become the default tone in online interactions. When transgression becomes a norm, it loses all meaning. Teen angst about a world that doesn't understand you, that you need to challenge, only goes so far.
It's mostly a manifestation of insecurity and the realization you lack the skills to cope out in the world as an adult. It's not the world doing you wrong, it's the realization you have no idea how to deal with the world and idolizing antiheroes and outcasts is a coping mechanism.

lol NV, that reminds me of seeing Jon Spencer live a few weeks ago. he seemed paranoid that one of the posters over the merch table was going to fall down and was leaning over to affix roughly a dozen pieces of tape to make sure it stayed up
something about the boring insecurities of adulthood, posters, etc etc

Todd Phillips' dark take on the Batman villain will not play at the theater where a massacre took place during a 2012 screening of 'The Dark Knight Rises' as family members of those killed ask the studio to donate to gun-victim charities.

So, the reason this is garnering so much discussion is because it's manipulative as hell, and purposefully withholds information which is crucial to determine what is going on. Technically, it's very good, but as a political or social film, it's worthless. It's impossible to discuss, since it's impossible to determine whether or not something very very very important actually happens or not. And without that information, it's just pointless to take it any further.

spare a thought for todd, forced to make the $55m sad clown movie for a major studio in order to supplement his meagre income
Director Todd Phillips called in to promote his latest film, 'The Hangover 2,' the inevitable sequel to his surprise hit: "It was an R-rated comedy with no big names in it...they [studio execs] were not banking on it."To get it made, Todd traded his fee for points on the back end: 10% of the film's gross after its first $80 million--when it made $500 million worldwide, Todd netted around $45 million: "That deal wasn't available to me this time around." Todd said the film also made for the highest-selling comedy DVD ever, netting him even more.
