Million Dollar Baby is spoonfed emotional applesauce, right up there with Blindside.

Glad you all liked it.

You know my beliefs of the first film. It was 2 films in one, kind of. Like those choose your own adventures type books from back in the day.

You could watch the film straight up. Or, realize you were watching a film inside Joker's head and all of it was his imagination. (Which, imo, made it even greater)

To me, that's insanely clever writing/directing, and of alllllllllll the characters in the world, he's the one it works for. It doesn't work for Darth Vader, or Thanos, or Megatron etc etc. But Joker?

J Phoenix did a terrific terrific job, but man........if we could have seen something similar thru Heath......

So, imo, Joker was greatness. So layered and chaotic and messy, exactly who Joker is.

There was nothing clever about it. One of the most heavy handed could’ve been written by a teenager movies I’ve seen. Phoenix was great I’ll give it that, everything else was meh. Bootleg Scorsese movie.

Also the fake tie in to the Nolan **** with the ending was just piss poor execution and didn't make sense tbh

Money grab from all parties.

The laws of the universe (no pun intended) cannot be broken.

There is no Joker without the Batman. Period!

Was befuddled with the roaring reception with the first Joker when it came out.

I just felt like The King of Comedy and First Reformed did what Joker set out to do better.

It’s a hard watch innit?
jpzx I haven’t recommended to anybody that will finish it. Even my brother gave up and he’s out there when it comes to horror.

I was ready for the wheelchair to spin around at the end because it was easy to figure out that was her in the news broadcast at the beginning, once he started on her face. Or when she was the only one left.

It’s gross not scary imo, some good jump scares. I’ll probably watch the 2nd one and then 3rd when it’s streaming. So we got some supernatural **** going on, that’s just unfair.

It’s a shame this work of art wasn’t well-received. Love this movie to the moon and back

 

[el presidente]

Lmk on that one.

There is literally nothing in theaters I want to see this weekend, and two next weekend I’m going to.

I would describe the movie as…peculiar? Certainly not the tone I was expecting.

Overall pretty good and worth the watch.

Smh joker is trash

I just don’t see what they were shooting for with this. It feels like they ruined a decent opportunity to add to that story. Boggles my mind.

2 movies I watched for the first time this week

Dead Man and Light Sleeper.

Really enjoyed both. I’ve been paying for Criterion Channel and not using it enough so caught them on there.

Dead Man is in the upper echelon of Depp films to me. Great art house western that tells a lot just through facial expressions and music. Top tier brief cameos from Crispin Glover, Billy Bob Thorton, Iggy Pop and Alfred Molina. Gary Farmer was excellent in this as well. Only the second Jarmusch film I’ve seen next to the classic Ghost Dog getback
7/8

Light Sleeper was my first Paul Schrader directed movie. Honestly just saw Willem Dafoe and Susan Sarandon on the banner in the app and watched it on a whim. You can tell he wrote Taxi Driver with this one but I found this to be a lot more human and endearing in an odd way, considering how dark it is. Dafoe can do no wrong.
6/8
Mishima will be next on my list for Schrader.

Saw it a year and a half ago, loved it.

Just finished Dead Man (1995) with Johnny Depp.

Billy Bob Thornton, Crispin Glover, and Alfred Molina are all in it. Gary Farmer as Nobody went punch for punch with Depp. Really great villain portrayal by Lance Henriksen. It’s a Western filmed completely in monochrome/b&w… very good. 6/8. On HBO Max.

Each supporting character comes along separately in random ways during Depp’s frontier travel, and get 10-15 minutes to just COOK. I almost didn’t notice it was Billy Bob Thornton until halfway through his scene, you will definitely notice Crispin and Molina though
