Well, it's kind of like "Sling Blade", a movie nothing much happens in until Karl cuts Doyle's head clean in two with a lawnmower blade, um-hm. They don't even show the actual violence beyond a splash of blood, but it is a visceral moment. This "Joker" will likely have things like that in it. No way they should show any of that in the trailer. If the movie is good, it'll make a ton of money. If it stinks, no trailer could save it. They don't need to court any particular type of movie-goer here.

Thanks for the spoiler alert on sling blade.

If it takes you 23 years to see a movie, you waited too long.

(By the way, in "Citizen Kane", Rosebud is a sled Kane owned as a child.
It represents his carefree days as a child and the last time he was truly happy.)

Thanks a lot. In this movie, it ends up sucking. Sorry for the spoiler

I heard people are getting upset at the new Joker movie's premise of an unstable guy going ape$hit on a society that rejects him. Here's a quote from critic Kathleen Newman-Bremang..
" A poisonous story for a fraught time. Did we really need a brutal movie about a white terrorist figure who uses gun violence to enact revenge on the society that rejects him? And did we need it now?"
The new trailer looks superb..

I can see where some concerns are coming from though. You did have a lunatic shoot up a theater no less than seven years ago claiming to be the Joker. I by no means think it should stop movies from being made, just saying that I get some of the eye brow raising this movie is causing.

Made it through most of that refinery lady's article until here

In Hagi's case, being called a "reverse racist" (a thing that does not exist) is nothing new for critics of colour, especially women critics of colour

So much good and bad hype for this movie. Bad as in someone might do something crazy. My movie theater will be banning costumes for this movie, extra off duty police will be there and they will be using a metal wand to search people who see this movie.

I just can't imagine enjoying a movie unless I can dress up in a costume. Those bastards!

Its pretty ridiculous that other people now have the right to tell you what you can and cannot wear when you go to a movie.

Is this what it is coming to?

People dressing up and going to movies are odd to begin with. Keep your dressing up fetishes to Comic Con or something.

Not surprising since it's largely the same type of people who want to decide which Constitutional freedoms you can enjoy.

If someone does do something crazy, its not because of this movie 'made them do it'. Its because they are crazy. This is the same logic people use when they say violent video games cause people to act out.

Some people are susceptible to things like this, if I listen to to much Richard Wagner I get the urge to conquer Poland.

an old Woody Allen joke..

If I watch too many Woody Allen films I get the urge to conquer an Asian nanny.
