JOKER
This looks pretty good. Joker was always the most interesting baddie.
Incidentally, is that big staircase he's dancing on not in Edinburgh? Looks very familiar.

Re: JOKER
You're maybe thinking of the steps close to Waverley Station, Tek: think the film was shot entirely in and around New York.
These stairs are probably in Brooklyn.
Trailer looks great!

Looks like it's based on the graphic novel The Killing Joke(which is tremendous btw). Get a small feeling of "they're doing it for the money" though. Hopefully I'm wrong(usually am--except about Siegrest!)
It's not where you're from it's where you're at.

Re: JOKER
early signs are Phoenix will be a great choice.
as he’s a ‘bit off’ in real life.
this film looks like The Crow meets Falling Down meets Taxi Driver

Re: JOKER
This is getting 5 star reviews all across the board.
Looking forward to seeing this.
Phoenix looks like being a great cast as early Joker.

Re: JOKER
Seen the film earlier today: highly recommend it.
See that scene on the steps, shown in the trailer........Rock and Roll Part Two (Glitter/Leander) is used on that bit, around the 90 minute mark, causing 'controversy'. But I reckon folk are just looking for something to complain about, in that case. It's been used in many films previously.

Re: JOKER
Seen it last night. Fantastic. Some controversial things story-wise. The breakdown of society is scarily relevant today.
Too much commotion

Re: JOKER
Phoenix is incredible. If he doesn't win an Oscar it's a travesty.

Re: JOKER
Joker 2 trailer out.
Like the first movie, the influences are very obvious.
1st Joker (Taxi Driver, Falling Down etc)
2nd Joker (La La Land)
