DiCaprio is the only person I'll accept as Dr Doom. It's never gonna happen so they probably shouldn't bother.

That’s interesting. Not sure if he could get the accent right, tho.

[bada]

I bet he could do a good job getting the accent right for a pretend country.

"New Point Break is better than the first Point Break" was the apex of him being on his bullshit.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

When did it become OK to use terms like “incel”?

“But in a moment when internet culture can cancel a movie as minor as The Hunt for fomenting “anger and hate,” the wider impact Joker is poised to make seems far more dangerous. And the idea that even one viewer might take its convictions at face value, and then act on them, feels like no joke at all.”

Bad reviews are starting to trickle out....

Right, but a significant amount of them are along the lines "this should not be allowed to exist because incel"

Best to dumb down every thing so as not to offend anyone.

I dont think it's "offensive" is the concern, many of the reviews sound just like what was written about 2 Live Crew when that album came out.... like if you took Rosie ODonnell's rant about Fight Club and substituted in Joker and Phoenix it would read like some of these reviews.

Is this the moment of the left's moral panic?

[Mickey]

This is dumb because the super hero genre is inherently reactionary.

Um... 1993?

This movie will be critic proof so they can clutch their pearls all they'd like.
