Parasite and Once Upon a Time... are about on equal level for me, gorgeous films both of them and among the best of the decade. The Irishman is good but I'd put it a couple notches below those.

Marriage Story is definitely "okay" material. Jojo Rabbit is cute and occasionally funny but overall just okay, maybe even inching towards "bad" because of its more grating qualities. Joker gets worse the more I think about it. Haven't seen Little Women, 1917, or Ford v Ferrari

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.

I’ve only seen joker and thought it was good not great.

[LoathedVermin72]

That “white male rage” SNL skit was awwwwwful but tbh it was kinda right about Joker

That seemed to be a topic of jokes at the Golden Globes, too, right? Do you think this will have any consequence for the Oscars?

Only if they fall over themselves trying to placate SJWs, which they probably will somehow since they have before.

Yeah, that is kind of what I was getting at. They need to "fix" the no diversity in this year's awards, so that will probably happen.

I guess to really care about the Villaseñor bit, you'd have to really care about the Oscars. *shrugs*

The bit wasn’t really about the Oscars (other than the Gerwig snub), it was about wildly misreading and overgeneralizing the movies in question to a degree that’s either genuinely deranged or deliberately obtuse in order to pander to anti-art liberals.

[Orpheus]

Joker is about class and mental illness, it pretty much explicitly communicates that in the film. Not sure where people are getting all the stuff they're reading into it.

Yes it really really really really wants you to know exactly what it is about, and it does so, repeatedly, in the bluntest ways, to exhaustion

[Jorge]

Or when he scribbled in his joke book in crazy letters "I am mentally ill and society has failed me" while he laughed like a mentally ill person whom society has failed

[bada]

Right. Like Jorge said it hammers you over the head with society has failed the mentally ill. It's over long\repetitive and I personally thought Phoenix's portrayal was way over indulgent but the alt right white male rage angle propagated by the media seems way off.
