good film, nice soundtrack too :)
that be the true true.
it's not one you can re-watch, but definitely worth seeing.

Netflix is full of some pure awesome these days. The new Dark Crystal series is excellent :popcorn:

Can shazam and the joker coexist in this dcu? It's about the only way I could accept a hair-lipped joker.

shazam was good. there's a time difference if you put the 2 together, could be same dcu but 20 years later.

he'll be a bit older as the joker, but that could be fine. he needs to build his crime gang and become more adjusted to his new persona. 20 years would be great for that.

and come on, you prefer jered leto's joker? lol
the world has been insane for the last 10 years.

Never said I accepted Leto's either. Don't think I saw suicide squad all the way thru. I fell asleep. Just don't care much for Joaquin Phoenix and his hair-lip.

I don't care if it's superficial either. Joaquin Phoenix has never been good in anything.... anything! FF9 got this reaction from me too purely on it's art style and characterization... so many steps backwards!

The joker doesn't need an origin anymore than the Borg from star trek do. Ambiguity can speak volumes sometimes... our imaginations when it comes to filling in the gaps and speculation are part of the fun.

I don't care if it's juggalo 101 (look at my name) but I'm older and smarter than that nowadays... I'd hope some of the people here are too. :)

urrrrrrrrrrrg where to start....

the borg have origin stories. tho they are a bit messed up. i think it's pretty self explanatory really.. someone makes machine, machine takes over. dont think it needs any of the voyager probe or time travelling vulcan lady stuff.

i agree on FF9, it was terrible, put me off, and i didn't play it. 10 brought it back with blitzball tho.

Joaquin Phoenix is the perfect person to play joker tbh.. at least this one. because you dont like him basically.. because his brother died to showbiz at an early age, because he's a bit weird lookin, and he doesn't fit in. he has the right temperament to play the part, coulda been wrote for him.

whether the joker is the right character to put that on, is debatable. but i would say he is, because it's very fitting for the current cultural climate; many people say we live in clown world, because things are so backwards these days.

as for origin story and whether they should have made it: Marvel has always had way better heroes, and DC has always had way better villains. if you think marvel villains they're crap really, robot monsters, aliens.. i dunno, weird shit. but a great cast of heroes to fight them.
if you think DC, the heroes are crap, superman is boring, batman is boring, green lantern? lol, flash urgh, cyborg wtf? aquaman.. lol they are all bland as hell. but look at the villains: joker, lex luther, riddler, darkside, zod.. others..

the point is they shoulda been playing to their strengths, and joker sets a great aesthetic for very dark stories of people going nuts.

marvel started at the origin story of ironman dont forget.


not posting this for political reasons, just so you get where clown world comes from.



it's actually a really genius film, i cant believe the hangover director wrote it...

clown world is the stupid stuff like calling jewish people nazis, or it only being not racist to focus solely on someone's race :roll:
or like murray being a good guy when he just brought arthur on to take the piss outa him.

if you know alignments from DnD, basically what im saying is that the world is like lawful evil. the joker and all the other villains from DC, start out as good people, but they cant get on in the evil world, so they become chaotic instead.
marvel is very clean cut with it's chaotic evil and lawful good characters. but DC works better when it mixes it to have like lawful evil batman - who might beat the shit outa someone for stealing a loaf of bread, and a chaotic good/neutral joker. he's not gonna blow up a hospital, but he might blow up a bank, similar to tyler durdan from fight club.

Forgive my random drunken examples.

The borg queen and pretty much everything that happened in first contact and Voyager was really poorly executed and it should have been left unclear. My mind envisioned an exodus type computer controlling them from across the universe lol. I think I could have lived with janeway walking up to an ancient computer and shutting it down with punch cards. Lmao.

Final fantasy hasn't been good since 7. 8 was grating, 9 was ugly, 10 killed it for me entirely. Fuck Tidus.

The rest I kinda agree with here and there but I think you need to lighten up a bit on the world. Unless I've misread and you're talking about the movie universe, it's been my experience most people are good. Or at least they try to be. Most of the bad shit you hear about is just the vocal minority.

Not sure if I'll get to the joker movie or not tho...

Todd Phillips (the hangover director/writer I think) was done with the hangover after the first one but the studio wanted more after that first hit. The second and third movies seem like deliberate attempts to sabotage the franchise so he could do something else... the third one was a heist movie ffs... lol.

And yes, outside of superman, the dc villains have almost always been better. Maybe I just want an entertaining movie outside of all the dumb shit politics. I couldn't even bring myself to see wonder woman because no one could let it just be a movie and tried to tack on a lot of feminist garbage that didn't need ro be there. Fuck Gal Gadot! Seriously!

And fuck Chris Pine and his vagina lips! Is he related to Julia Roberts? :lol:
