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

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.

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!

we don’t deserve a Crispin Glover Joker

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

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.

yeah it's loosely based on a true story.

doesn't make its fictional rendering anymore convincing

Fire in the Sky also based on a true story

Yeah, totally same deal Neanderthal, thank you.

Anyways it’s good and I see it as a sorta bridge between like early Spheeris and Larry Clark, Vant Sant teen flicks. Issues with acting or plausibility barely registered to me.

over the edge - which the director co-wrote i think - is way better

Over the Top is the best

^^also based (very loosely?) on true events?

xpost

Yeah apparently!

Xp. Over the top is of course a moving masterpiece

best comment ive read "joaquin phoenix steals the movie"

insightful commentary

trenchant joker commentary

Overwhelming praise on the French critical front. Predominant hermeneutic line: 'shit's fucked in America, yo.'

lol
