Joker "The Joker" in development with Todd Phillips and Martin Scorsese attached? - Part 2

I will say, the reception this movie is getting on that Last Jedi toxic level. Either people are extremely for it or extremely against it. This is why I don't bother with reviews for this one.
 
Im seeing this thursday and probably again sunday. There's no doubt this will require more than one viewing I think.
 
Except that doesnt fly with what Phillips has said about why he made the film. Go back and watch some of the interviews especially around Venice.
This is for OutOfBoose Phillips knows the history of the character. Multiple choice haha x

I just want to watch a movie. I really could not care less about either the rhapsodizing or the manufactured controversies.
 
It's just so fascinating to see the contrast between the reviews from America, and outside America. India, UK, Russia, Italy, France, Spain, Puerto Rico LOVE this film.
 
Lots of actors don't like interviews. Pacino doesn't like them. Tom Hardy has never been on any American talk show and rarely on a British one either.
Who even likes to do interviews? Even the most egotistical actors who love to hear themselves can’t stand them.

Most actors probably don't actually enjoy interviews, apart from maybe with a certain talk show host that they have a good rapport with or whatever, but some are far better at playing along with it.
 
Jesuschrist another 5/5 going to be added soon. That will make it like 27 reviews with perfect score. Wow... (And other 20 with 9/10 or 4.5/5). Not even Logan got this much perfect scores.

I mean I can understand that. That’s why I enjoy Colbert and Conan and enjoyed Stewart, Letterman, and Ferguson. They know/knew how to interview. Far better than CNN anchors.

Where are you getting all this info?
 
I know nothing about this version of Joker. All I see people involved saying stuff like "we wanted to make a movie, but the only thing that studios want to greenlight is CBMs, so we slapped Joker name on it".
Where did you get that from?
 
I'm kinda excited for this, even if I'm not all gung ho on the idea of a Joker origin story. It's far enough removed from the traditional dynamic hit on in the comics that I don't particularly care in trying to fully reconcile it with my own fandom.

I think it'll be interesting from an Elseworlds standpoint and that'll be good enough for this weekend.
 
Phoenix doesn't like interviews. He's the type of actor who wants to just do his job and let the performance speak for itself and not have to sit explaining it and answering dumb repetitive questions. Daniel Day-Lewis is like that too. They're "pure" method actors who hate the press/PR side of things. DDL has even admitted having to deal with press and promotion is part of why he does movies so few and far between, because he hates it so much.

DeNiro is the same way...
 
I am doing a small Joaquin Phoenix marathon in preparation for Friday.

Basically re-watched Gladiator, Walk The Line, and currently watching The Master for the first time.

Love the former two (seen them many times), but The Master is... I can barely go through that film. Both me and my gf are like "what the **** are we actually watching?" Still got 1 hour left and I am not sure if I can make it...

I love The Master so maybe I'm not the best person to ask ha. Maybe watch Inherent Vice or You were never really here. But given you didn't like The Master you probably won't like them either haha x

As someone else already mentioned, check out "You Were Never Really Here". Also give these few a watch. "Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far on Foot" and "We Own the Night".
