Lol at the media trying so hard to keep people away from this

That's probably the best group shot I've seen yet. I really like that.

If they do a sequel, i would like to see huge inspiration from 'one flew over the cuckoo's nest'.

Harley could be there too, as the therapist, but i do think she needs to be a complete 180 from what we have seen with SS etc, which i am actually kinda pleased about.

Or, skip 20 years - Arthur gets out, is even more 'joker' after having 20 years to dwell on it - Batman be this mysterious villian to Arthur, of sorts, appearing from no where and stopping him doing his thing - no cgi, no hyper realistic stunt work - just another lunatic in a suit preying on Arthur.

A smart movie where we see parallels and switch between the two.

"The subversive, R-rated superhero pic starring Joaquin Phoenix is also destined to generate profits of $600 million for Warners and partners Village Roadshow and Bron."

I have seen 3 times a positive score by critics be given a negative by rottentomatoes for Joker. This last guy had his review changed from a fresh to a rotten (Lawrence Ware's review as mentioned in my previous post on thread). Somehow the score stays balanced at 69% even though a few more reviews under the critics section have been allowed in.

Also, if there's a cutoff date when RottenTomatoes stops receiving critic reviews I'm wondering because lots of popular movies out for a long while have way less critic reviews than Joker.

Anyway, I found this article interesting with 1 person's attempt at trying to make a graph chart on how critics give a thumbs up or thumbs down on films that get labelled as socially controversial via social media pile-on effect: https:// medium.com/@centerissexy/graphing-rotten-tomatoes-political-bias-957e43986461

Who aggregates the aggregators I think forever will be a question when it comes to RottenTomatoes that in fact is a rotten useless review site in my opinion because it misleads perception and isn't transparent enough with the mechanics behind everything.

Even when i would love a sequel, i would rather this to be stand alone and WB to keep developing the DC Black Label universe

'Joker' Wins Golden Frog at Camerimage

Cinematographer Lawrence Sher's dramatic lensing of Joker, Todd Phillips' psychological thriller about the origin of the DC Comics villain, claimed the Golden Frog in the main competition at the EnergaCamerimage festival on Saturday in Torun, Poland.

These are closely watched awards, and the cinematography festival has become a bellwether for what's to come in the Oscar category. In three of the past six years, the winners of Camerimage's Golden Frog have gone on to earn Oscar nominations in cinematography. Those films include 2013's Ida, 2015's Carol and 2016's Lion. (The 2014 Golden Frog winner, Leviathan, and 2017 Camerimage champ, On Body and Soul, were each nominated for a foreign-language film Oscar.)

Additional award honorees:

AUDIENCE AWARD

Camerimage Audience Award: Joker
Cin: Lawrence Sher
Dir: Todd Phillips

A win for creativity and low budget film making.

sheesh. Who knew joker would incite more people to rise up and take on oppression more than Batman or any of the marvel characters

Some interesting points ..

* So far all Jokers have appeared only Once in DC movies, each time we get a new Joker. If Joaquin Phoenix reprises his role in a sequel to this movie, it will be the first time a Joker will appear more than once.

* All live action movies featuring Joker have been commercially successful (Including David Ayer's Suicide Squad.)

* Both Joker (2019) and Suicide Squad (2016) had Joker in them and both movies were not released in China.

* Both Aquaman and Joker earned 1 billion and both movies had protagonist named Arthur.

Dark Knight also wasn’t released in China as well I believe.

^ Dark Knight also wasn’t released China as well I believe.

Yeah, I forgot it was not released there. That's really interesting.

 

[DarkKnight88]

Dark Knight also wasn’t released in China as well I believe.

Well that’s because it portrayed a corrupt businessman in Hong Kong. And as we know, there’s no corrupt businessmen in China!

It would be nice if Joker reaches $1.05B, toppling Aladdin, and possibly Rogue One in the process.

I'm still off put by Arthur Fleck as a revolutionary icon. The guy was a loser with poor mental health, not someone to idolize.
