Dead Horse Interchange

I watched two Joker 2 reviews. Both were negative.

Grace Randolph said it could have used a female screenwriter to give more depth to Harley Quinn and that the "disenfranchised" male audience that identified with Joker in the first movie won't feel the same about this one. (Also, I don't know how anyone identified with The Joker in the first movie. I thought that it stressed a lot how pathetic he is.)

Jeremy Jahns had nothing good to say and described the movie as feeling like an "afterthought".

Both said the same thing about how the musical sequences don't add anything to the story.

It's a token reminder that this particular Joker is the patron saint of incels.

The Earth's Jokers, as Jesse PS calls them. Not ever has someone been a big fan of the Joker without also being an absolute mouthbreather. It's like being a slightly edgier brony.

It's Jared Leto's Joker or bust.

Grace Randolph compares Lady Gaga'.s Harley Quinn to Jared Leto's Joker, in the sense that she's a lot less important to the movie than you think from the advance publicity

In other words, people who like Taxi Driver may not like New York, New York just as much.

Those are all in love with Heath Ledger's Joker.
You can't beat the edgemaxxing + autistic demeanor + not showering for months combo.

Cesar Romero is the only Clown Prince of Crime in my heart.

That's a generational thing. Just wait for the newest crop of zoomers to get old enough to have that 𝒟𝒶𝓂𝒶ℊℯ𝒹 forehead tattoo done.
They will insist on him being the best Joker like young faggots claim the prequels were good.

I'm still curious about the new Joker movie. My hope is that they made another "Gremlins 2".

The director didn't want to make this, but the studio offered a truckload of money and total freedom so he made some insane thing.

I hope that's what it is and I don't expect the likes of Grace Randolph and Jeremy Jahns to get it. I look forward to making up my own mind.

Lady Gaga is an insane Hollywood satanist and she's in it. I expect the budget to have cocaine and infants at a five pounds burn rate per week.
Haram as fuck!
