In The Tall Grass -1000/10

This is one if the worst movies I’ve watched in ages. The acting was god damn ludicrous. 

The Netflix Original Seal of Quality

Saw the Joker movie tonight. I’ve gotta say, it’s more or less exactly what I expected. Well crafted. Joaquin delivers. Great score. Well shot. All of that. 

On the flip side, this is not the movie we need to see right now. It’s a fundamentally crass, anarchistic film that litters the screen with images that can be confused for statements but ultimately burns any shred of a philosophy to the ground. I know. It’s a comic book movie.  But the optics of this movie are fucked. 

I’m going to go watch the Great British Bake Off now and cleanse my palate. 
 

ALSO... (actual spoilers)

I can't wait to get home from work to see this tall grass nonsense. I hope it's as bad as bird box, something's wrong with me.

And now I'm here regretting my choices. This is way too long, acting is walking dead on a bad day -terrible and the suspense is non existent. Visually drab. Hot garbage.

Oh, it gets worse.

It honestly confuses me when people/reviewers say that Joker is "toxic" to the general public. Are we back to the satanic panic era? It's... a movie.

lol, I thought I was near the end, but there's still 20 minutes to go 

Toy Story 4... is a pretty bad film.

When would it be a good time to see Joker then?

Probably never.

But, if there were a time, I’d say it would probably have to be after we’ve shifted our society from what it currently is to one that (for a start) outlaws guns, prioritizes funding for public education, and provides universal healthcare (including comprehensive mental health coverage).

Comic books movies have always portrayed this ideal libertarian society where the govt. is inept, and so it's up to a bunch of individual morally good greek gods in spandex to make things right. It's fun to imagine, but has never portrayed reality. To me it's always been simple fun.

However I'm sure a few mentally ill people/4-channers will cite Joker as their inspiration to do some crazy crap. I mean it happened with The Dark Knight, so why wouldn't it happen again. Until there is a tangible uprising however, there's no reason to worry about it.

Nope, it didn't happen with The Dark Knight. Holmes was not inspired by the Joker, and the only reason he went to that movie was because he knew there would be a load of people there.

thank you ^ insane how many people believe that...

There should be a Riddler movie. Starring Leonardo DiCaprio with a beer gut wearing a stained green t shirt with a question mark on it. He asks people stupid questions, spray paints question marks on everything and gets arrested, and ends in a climactic bum fight on a skyscraper rooftop in Shanghai. The villain will be Batman, played by present day Val Kilmer. 

saw a couple of people yapping about how this was some kind of "underrated film" so i decided to check it out. it's basically a competently made b-movie without the sense of humor

i also love how in these kind of films (mainly mainstream)- whatever it is that everyone is trying to get away from has this maniacal need to kill them. not even for food.

four large man-maulers / ten

A Sam Raimi film without a sense of humour?

*googles*

Oh he just produced it 

Anyone that saw The Boogeyman will know that Raimi is not entirely to be trusted.

a masterclass and z-grade filmmaking. 3 stories of absolute garbage but told with a pure heart. vhs cassettes of this sell for the thousands because you have to see it to believe it was made.
