And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Has there been any marketing for it. Like, at all? I want to say there was maybe some kind of trailer that dropped at some point during the Obama presidency and nothing since then.

There were absolutely dumbasses convinced that Joker would cause right-wing attacks. I dont think they ever engaged with the movie or any of its material, just "alienated white guy starts riot".

I like Joker a lot more for what it accomplished (highest grossing R-Rated film which is also technically a cape movie that gets away with showing the poor rioting & murdering a rich politician) than the quality of the movie itself. It's pretty solid though.

Like, I would rather we get a hundred more Joker's than ten more typical DC or Marvel films.

Is The Hunt the Mads Mikkelsen film about a man falsely, and made clear falsely, accused of being a child molester? Because from everything i've seen that movir is incredible and didn't know it had been cancelled.

The Hunt is the movie about rich liberals hunting conservatives for sport, where conservatives initially got very angry about the movie because they didn't realize who the villains were.

Oh they called that The Hunt too? Yeah i remember this tone deaf insanity, like when they rebooted Heathers but made the queer kids the oppressors.

Edit: on that note did anything happen with that announced gender flipped version of Lord of the Flies where it was pointed out that story doesnt work if gender flipped.

Youtube pranksters have started deliberately riling up "media experts" by feeding them lies, here's a recent example where they got 'royal experts' real angry by making up stuff about the Oprah interview before it had even aired:

My grade 8 homeroom teacher would hand out articles about the latest hysterics in the media (she was a huge Oprah fan and Oprah was big into chain letter headline news). Then we'd have to journal about it, and the KO game was one of the stories. To give people perspective, I turn 38 next month. poo poo's been around a while.

She's currently facing jail time for embezzling from the school that she was a principal at.
