The ****?

Yeah, that was talked about a while back. It's just nuts. It's like the US is on the verge of mass hysteria and panic because of this film, like, calm the eff down.

I sort of get why, but this is still a major overreaction.

Actually the article was updated with an investigation of a credible shooting threat at a theater for the release of the film. Basically I can see some trolls stirring up **** and actually doing something just for the sake of it.

Just don't be surprised about something actually happening now:

Maybe I'm alone on this, but anyone else just tired of the discourse and the media hype surrounding this movie? I'm just waiting for the movie to open and get this sh** over with.

 

[Boom]

Ugh.

See, when people make a big fuss about this, they only make things worse. Stop giving power to fear for god's sake.

On the bright side, I'm still loving all these positive reviews.

I hope this mass hysteria quiets once the film is out. I honestly didn't think it'd get to this point

 

[TheSmoothKnight]

Awesome reactions, are some of these folks critics?

 

[Gee]

Oh yes... Can't wait to watch this on the big legit IMAX screen next week.

He never even said that, it was bs reporting that gained traction.
Meyer: The James Holmes “Joker” rumor – The Denver Post

Literally everything about this 'concern' and 'controversy' is absurd, ignorant, cynical, pseudo intellectual, fear mongering, it's projecting fears of the real world onto fiction and hypotheticals. This movie will not inspire violence any more than any other similar movie or book or show or graphic novel. Look at the news, look at politics, economic anxiety, mental illness, access to healthcare, access to guns. This movie isn't the problem, it's only about the problems.

THANK you.

Some of them. Others are reporters, directors and writers from UK

Another 5 stars review. That makes it 22 i think.

These posters are beautiful... simple, stunning.

This might be my favourite poster. This reminds me of the posters of so many gritty '70 films that the movie is supposedly trying to emulate.

Gives me rad indie alternative punk album covers vibes.

They are really making this film feel like something special.

The ****?

 

[Binker]

Doesn't anyone else agree that all this "controversy" is just overthinking, overreaching, nonsensical crap?
Plus, if these are legit reactions to the film: a) we have these movies so why does this stand out? And b) they didn't get the point of the film
