Joker (Todd Phillips, October 4, 2019) Movie • Page 10

Idk who that is, but he seems to be kind of a dickhead haha he blocked someone just for calling it a "poorly worded tweet", which is true

 

Looked him up and he used to work at Ain't It Cool News and now at HitFlix

 

He’s a fairly well known critic and doughboys guest

 

Not familiar with him at all, but even still that doesn't seem like news to me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm still super excited.

 

It seems like generally everyone is aware that this is it’s own unique interpretation of the Joker origin story, so I really don’t think he’s talking about a fan backlash in that sense. My guess is that there’s some severely yikes-inducing stuff in there.

 

It is Todd Phillips, after all. It'll be an interesting take, for better or worse, but that makes me excited.

 

I'm all for a director pushing boundaries to be interesting or find good social commentary, but Todd Phillips is about as nuanced as a hammer to the face, so it'll probably be shallow as fuck and only offensive with nothing worth saying.

 

what the fuck is a doughboy

 

Honestly Wiger should probably be playing the Joker, he clearly fits the psychological profile

 

You fool!

 

The one in the middle doesn't look like a doughboy though.

 

Hahahaha he blocked me for calling him out on it. I'm not going to trust the opinions of a critic who can't take criticism of himself.

 

Apparently McWeeny did the same thing with BvS?

 

Lol he didn’t even criticize the script in that Tweet, just said twitter will be ugly. Now this one made me lol

 

Sounds a lot like a Todd Phillips movie

 

hm

 

This only makes me want to see it even more.

 

Does he have a gag order on details or even a good description of what kind of issues? Or is he being purposefully vague to get attention?

 

Twitter is all about the attention

 

Another reason to hate social media. Great.

 

"WORST DAY EVAARRR!!!!"

"Damn, I'm sorry, what's wrong???"

"DON'T EVEN ASK ME ABOUT IT!"

 

It really just sounds to me like it’s going to be a very love it or hate it movie and the way people are about those things is obnoxious (to the point I’ve been getting legitimately pissed at friends because it’s fine you don’t like this season of Game of Thrones but good lord it is a tv show just enjoy it or stop watching.)

 

Drew: Oh man, this script is such a shit show
Twitter: What's so bad about it?
Drew: I can't say, but everyone's gonna hate it when it comes out
Twitter: So we shouldn't see it?
Drew: Wait and see the movie so we can have a conversation about it!
