Movies: Joker: Folie a Deux

[Ozz]

This may or may not be good and/or suck. I'll give it a shot.

Not sure if I'm laughing at Todd Phillips or with him.

Send in the Clowns will have to be in this movie now, right?

 

[x Tame Impala]

Send in the Clowns will have to be in this movie now, right?

It’ll be the trailer song and it’ll be a cover that’s all slow and overly dramatic

 

[The Crypto Guy]

A musical?????

And Margot Robbie is being recast by Lady Gaga?????

It will never cease to satisfy me that Todd Phillips made the first movie because he was butthurt that he couldn't call people f****ts anymore and that people stopped watching his shitty Hangover movies, so he goes full red pill and blames cancel culture only to lose his Best Director award to a dude who made a comedy about Hitler.

Sorry to nitpik, but it was the Parasite director who won Best Director, Bong Joon-ho.

This has a 95% chance of being a trainwreck and a 5% chance of being brilliance.

There really is no middle ground here.

 

[barriers]

I would have hoped they would have avoided a sequel. I mean I liked the first one, I thought it was interesting. But I don't see what a second one would do.

Make another billion dollars is the hope I presume

It LOOKS interesting. But I still don't trust Todd Phillips to actually deliver an interesting movie.

I have less than zero interest in watching a musical. What an odd decision. I can't imagine there's a lot of overlap between superhero/joker movie fans and musical fans but what do I know

 

[SimGrindcore]

I expect a mix of the 1st Joker movie and La La Land (which was really good).

But still, I don't get the idea of a Joker musical...

 

[Rodgerwilco]

I think people are failing to realize how theatrical and performative that The Joker as a character really is. It's not that surprising or weird for this to be a musical, in my opinion.

I read a theory that the musicals would be what Joker and Harley see while committing violent acts, then it'd flash to reality to show the damage they've. I thought that's be a cool idea. Risky, but if pulled off correctly- it'd be dope.

I could live with that actually. I just can't do the singing for 10 minutes at a time

Just as he essentially hallucinated large parts from the 1st movie, the two of them are hallucinating themselves "making beautiful music together" while in reality they are just brutally murdering people.

If this isn't the movie, I'm going to be so pissed.

 

[BertCorbeau]

I will give credit to the idea .. a second Joker movie, after the first in a volume of comic book movies, are taking a big swing to stand out in a different way.

Big risk big reward IMO

Trailer looks intriguing. Should be interesting to see how Gaga portrays Harley Quinn in this version, and how her organs are written. That and the integration of the musics/theatrics are the key pieces for this movie.

This gives me Sucker Punch vibes but darker/grittier and hopefully a lot better

 

[Leaf Rocket]

I am hyped for this IMO. I think it'll be good.

I just spent several minutes staring at the screen with a puzzled look, trying very hard to figure out what this means. I give up.

I'm pretty sure he meant origins.
