I dare you to anticipate Joaquin Phoenix in Todd Phillips's JOKER (now with something that may or may not be a SPOILER)

True 80s NYC would be Joker guesting on Robyn Byrd.

Midnight Blue with The Jacker

Just remembered the Jerry Langford show was live too.

Oh wait, it isn't, because Pupkin watches himself at the bar. Disregard.

also, what SEVEN medications would he be on in 1981? Lithium, Thorazine, ......?

... We're A Happy Family/Me, Mom & Daddy

flappy otm, the grocery list of drugs things seemed contemporary

also, that brief moment almost at the end where he finds the photo of his mom with a fond note from Thomas on the back was a whole lot of "ohh, then MAYBE"

like, it's more than likely just a nice note from a boss that liked her and later fed her delusions but MAYBE

This is honestly kinda the best idea in the movie :)

isn't it just Zack Snyder's revolutionary idea of Batman and Superman crying in each other's arms because their mothers have the same name

or Sam Mendes revolutionary idea of Blofeld and Batman being brothers

or etc etc

oh ho, my dark mirror it seems is even closer to me than I had let myself suspect. perhaps it is I who truly is unbalanced, askew from the norms of society. but to confront this would only send me as mad as he!

young bruce pretty blasé about old weirdos sticking fingers into his mouth.

or Sam Mendes revolutionary idea of Blofeld and Batman being brothers

lol @ me, but tbf he does skulk around on rooftops wearing a spooky mask in that movie, and operate with only grudging arms-distance half-approval from the authorities

I still enjoy Alfred being a dick then getting WWE choked

A FB friend posted how he hated it. Refreshing for some variety instead of the usual fecund gaggle of gigglefucks slurping the sweat off of Joaquin's peen

would slurp of shame

True 80s NYC would be Joker guesting on Robyn Byrd.

where else would the joker boast about his boners?

still undecided whether to see this at a cinema, likelihood of it being a less well written version of Shakes The Clown seems likely

Yes, Tom Kenny's Binky is all the homicidal doormat clown that I need.

I’m wondering how much of this movie you could recreate using footage of Joaquin Phoenix in other roles

Never rub another man's robot!

^^Next Guy Maddin joint, IIRC.

XP to mh

Nobody named Todd has ever been nominated for the Best DIrector Academy Award.

should been todd haynes

(or, honestlly, solondz for happiness)

I nominate Browning if the singular 'd' in his first name isn't an automatic disqualifier.

Happiness was ridiculously good

happily, Todd Field was passed over for In the Bedroom, or Death Wish for NPR Members, as i called it.

Is Joaquin going to accept his Oscar in makeup

Oh also yesterday at work I stood in line in Jollibee behind a guy who was dressed as the Leto Joker.

Green hair. Same haircut. He even had the "HaHaHaHaHa" tattoo

:/

Yo, how had I already forgotten that Leto Joker was a thing that'd happened?

Judging by his performance, he forgot he was Joker too

*phoenix takes the oscar, academy orchestra plays "Tears of a Clown"*

Now there's someone I would've liked to see portray the Joker!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rS2Xnwsb8E

we don’t deserve a Crispin Glover Joker

We totally don't. But...can you even imagine the magic?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocgj9tewHso

I just watched River's Edge, just an awful movie, but Crispin Glover was fun, proto-Tom DeLonge SoCal punk.

I love that movie!

it's quite good... plus babealicious young Keanu

yeah, river's edge is good, wtf flappy

No it's bad

river’s edge is good, wtf jim

it's good jim

the story just doesn't make sense to me (the silence of the gang around their friend's murder, sort of coerced by crispin glover's weedy leader just seems odd) and crispin glover gets a bit much. him just shouting "feeeeeeeeeeck!" etc.

are u .... trolling jim

there's a thin line between Heathers and Sweetie... River's Edge crosses it

Some of the worst Hollywood actor attempts at playing 'punk' I've ever seen

I disagree. The characters in that movie are basically the kids I went to high school with.

for sure, everyone except Glover and Reeves (though CG is pretty funny)

Err wasn’t River’s Edge was based on a true story?

And it’s great, stfu with these challops.
