saw joker last night and the worst part for me was that it was called joker.

the batman related content within the film is so minor that you could change just two details (gotham > new york, thomas wayne > thomas smith) and not lose anything and i feel like it would have been a stronger film for it. hell you could still have phoenix be a clown-themed psycho and keep all of those elements and plot beats and it would still make sense in the context of the film if it wasn't titled "joker"

i feel like somebody wrote a completely serviceable love letter to falling down and then WB found it and paid them to make it about the iconic villain The Joker in the most tenuous way possible.

also if you read the leaked script from a few weeks back, it was nearly 100% dead-on accurate, so if you don't want to see the movie but for some reason still crave a plot synopsis, just google the leak

WB/DC can't compete on the same ground as Disney/Marvel Universe, so they typically give their directors and creative talent more freedom

That, and the international market doesn't reward think-y type films, is how we get the Joker as a Scorsese-lite film

Like unless you mean movies and poo poo which absolutely but there's plenty of dudes that get on books that the company doesn't give a poo poo about and go batshit with it and when the company realizes they're arguing for murdering Jeff bezos it's too late because the book is popular

Big studios screen their films extensively with test audiences. It would not at all be surprising if the watering-down happens because a test audience somewhere said the film was 'slow' or 'boring' in places.

what DC doesn’t give more freedom. Their meddling is part of why they just aren’t as successful.

Justice League and Suicide Squad were failures at WB's attempt to create a DC cinematic universe, Joker is more of a return to form via Todd Phillips of The Hangover Trilogy, another successful WB franchise and cultivated relationship

Chris Nolan basically ran the show with Dark Knight

Peter Jackson with LOTR/The Hobbit

Disney is certainly stronger managing from the top-down, but I'm not sure whether WB is better at finding exceptional talent to let run loose, or is lucky just enough to stay in business (RIP every Superman revival)

Darth Vader was C-3PO's dad AND had a girlfriend twice his age AND was a successful race car driver before going back to school to get his degree

You don't get that in Return of the Jedi or the 1997 remaster

So the Galactic Senate sent mediators to a conflict they had no capability or intention of solving or really doing anything about, and this gets Jar Jar Binks elected to that very same body as a political outsider.

We're going to need an Episode 1.5.

it's a wonder that the universe didn't get mined to oblivion like star wars or MCU

Hands down my all time favorite moviegoing experience was Beerfest. An entire theater full of drunk and stoned audience members having the time of their lives.

Grindhouse was a riot in theater for this reason lol

two and a half hours of big cg cubes and cylinders without any music, famous actors doing pretend politics playing as themselves, and no ending to try to get people to beg online for a second part. it's never been more obvious that modern movies exist not to entertain or tell any story but to waste as much time as possible to keep the viewer occupied and up those engagement metrics.

ngl that sounds dope i gotta watch dune and now i can
