Well... that's a step too far. Phoenix is a funny dude. He can be eccentric and weird in the best way. And with the director they've chosen, I would not at all be surprised if it's a comedy. Probably a darker comedy, sure. But still. I hope it's funny.

I was a little out of line there. Yes.

I just watched "You never were really here" and i had dark and crazy Joaquin on the mind rather than "her" and "Signs" Joaquin.

He's got so much range. This movie should be so fucking cool. I hope they don't fuck it up.

Coming from Todd Phillips (The Hangover, War Dogs) and executive producer Martin Scorsese, the film will simply be called Joker. WB and its partners Village Roadshow have set a release date of October 4th, 2019.

How about - and this is radical, I know - how about you start filming before you announce a release date. Just in case.

Also: a Halloween Joker movie? I can dig it.

I’m very excited to get that 39-film Criterion Bergman Blu-ray set

OMG so fucking stupid. My god..this world.

Are you fucking kidding? That’s ridiculous.

Firing someone for some stupid jokes they made ten years ago really seems like a new low for “cancel culture.” Also a great way to embolden conservative trolls. What a load of bullshit.

And DISNEY is firing him. DISNEY...my god, culture is ruined. Thats it, the biggest corporation is telling us already whats ok and whats not.

Fuck this.

Fuck

It doesn't shock me that Disney would fire someone who makes child rape jokes, and I mean A LOT of child rape jokes, but how did they hire him in the first place?

But yeah, outrage outrage outrage. Always be outraged.

It’s one thing if he were just going around doing this now. But that shit was a decade ago.

I’m sure everyone is gonna roll their eyes at my vitriol here, but I really do mean this sincerely: now more than ever, everything Disney represents - artisitically, aesthetically, and culturally - is nothing short of pure evil. They are the exact inverse of all that is righteous and good.

It's dumb that they fired him now for jokes made years ago, but yeah, if that's such a big deal, the bigger question is how he made it past their screening process in the first place. I mean, his last film before Guardians featured a very weird rape scene played for laughs

As I said in the Cosby thread:

Jesus, read The Toy Collector for even more James Gunn bullshit. I honestly don't know how that guy got a shot at Marvel movies.

Take that book and his previous films and this shouldn't surprise you.

Also, black humor: James Gunn Teases Dark, Special Secret For Comic-Con on Friday

I agree with you. Its the end of the culture as we know it. Its the end of the free thought and speech too. And this fuckers are using this stuff to do what they want. Its so fucking dangerous and people dont seem to mind.
I cant believe some fucking jokes he made TEN years ago come back now after all the movies he did with fucking Disney.
