Can't wait for all the man children and right wingers to have a meltdown when they see this over the weekend


I hated the first, but good on Todd Phillips for making a movie that denounces all the weirdo fans of the first.

reply

The first wasn't nearly as good as people gave it credit for. Owed a lot to Scorsese. Here, they're left to their own devices and Phillips shows how empty a director he really is


If anyone's interested, I reviewed the movie on my youtube channel. Appreciate any feedback. Trying to improve -https://youtu.be/DtbfTOnq1gE

reply

Who needs amateur critics? You've been trying for 10 years dude. What message do you need?

reply

Quit being a dream killer - let the man do his reviews, you defeatist filth.

reply

No place else to go, still wanna crack this, don't understand what's holding me back

reply

Dude, you already cracked it. Popularity can never be controlled.

reply

Surprised you haven't done a blog-style review yet like those others that do it instead of doing video.

reply

Why not a cooking show?

did I say goddamn? hmmm, sometimes maybe it slips out and I don't even notice. will try to do better

Plenty of amateur critics are making a very good living on YouTube. Craig is hoping to join their ranks and is asking for some constructive criticism. Maybe provide some of that, if you're able, rather than being a Debbie Downer.

reply

You're not a detective, are you?

reply

Ouch.

I rather read reviews than watch youtube video-reviews. Write it out

reply

wish I could just write. but, more people seem to want it read to them with some frills attached these days. usually I write them out too and post them here. unfortunately didn't have time to write it out this time

reply

I never watch film reviews, so I have no good feedback to offer you on your videos. I watched a few moments of the Joker 2, and skimmed through your review of the Holdovers. You seem to have some intelligent things to say, and if you had written reviews I'd read them.

My advice to you is to create a Substack for your reviews, and every time you share a video to YouTube, share it there as well, along with a written article. I think you'll find a better built-in audience on Substack, which is one of the fastest-growing publishing sites online. It's ad-free, which I think makes a big difference, as I don't think I'm the only one who prefers not to be bombarded by ads before, or while, I'm trying to read or watch something.

reply

see this is why I post here. to get great advice like this. I'm going to do just this. this is a great idea since I usually write out my stuff first and then film. I had heard of substack but was unfamiliar with how it works until now so thank you for this. Really appreciate it

reply

I'm pretty familiar with the Substack interface, so if you have any questions while you're setting up, please feel free to ask. Unlike some other responders here, I think anyone who wants to write or create any sort of art or art criticism ought to be encouraged.

reply

I liked the first one, but I agree that it isn't as good as people make it out to be. But I strongly disagree that Phillips is empty as a director. He's made some really good movies.

reply

It was a terrible Scorsese rip off with shallow themes. Of course, incels saw themselves it and deemed it amazing.

reply

Movie made a billion dollars. The lazy incel argument doesn't quite exlain that. 2 of my female friends for instance responded to the mental health aspect.

reply

It looks like you'll be disappointed then. Online chatter suggests people are gonna skip this one. They were already skeptical when they heard it was gonna be a musical with Lady Gaga, but early reviews have vindicated their apathy towards it.

reply

Oh, but the die hard fans of the first will see it, and then cry when they realize it's denouncing them.

reply

They already know it is, and they’re already making fun of it.

reply

No child, they really aren't.

reply

Yes kiddo, they really are.

reply

How does it denounce fans of the first? I'm not being funny, I haven't seen it, I'm genuinely asking. For the record, I thought the only thing good about the first was Joaquin Phoenix's performance. It was incredibly overrated as a film.

reply

I won't spoil it until this weekend, but trust me it does. You can find the plot out there if you wish.

reply

I'm guessing the same way Deadpool mocked Marvel.

reply

The difference is Deadpool wasn't inspiring right wing terrorists.

reply

Did Joker inspire rightwing terrorists? I must have missed that.

reply

Can't wait for more straw man posts about "man children and right wingers." You freaks have too much spare time!

reply

Its getting old though

reply

I only saw the trailer and got bored in 2 minutes. 130 minutes would cure insomnia.

reply

Hmm... I guess I am outside the loop. Am I a weirdo fan? I saw the first film and enjoyed it a lot. Obviously a bit derivative (The King of Comedy?) and likewise, not a good fit with Batman movies... But, as a one-off, riffing on a character from the comics, it was brilliant. And no multiverse nonsense, just an alternative view. -- A mad musical sequel seems like the very best imaginable follow-up.

reply

I plan to see it this weekend or next Tuesday. If I hate it I won't buy the 4k disc.

reply

Why does this site bring out all the liberal woke freaks?

I'm going to give it to you straight because no one else will you friggin weirdo, you enjoy having a group it's socially acceptable to hate because you're a venomous snake who has more hate in his heart than the average klan member. And to answer your ridiculous assertion, no, 'right wingers' and 'man children' were not somehow inspired by or cheering on the Joker like you freaks want to think. God forbid anyone has any empathy for people disenfranchised by society, but yeah let's all live in la la land where Joe Biden's piss cures Covid.

reply

That's weird... I'm always asking, "Why does this site bring out all the MAGAt chud dickbag types?"

reply

LOL!

reply

Why, did you choke on a MAGA dick and decide to become a soy boy for life? You guys are pathetic, I'm sure you're the go around on reddit saying "dog whistle" and "ad hominem" every other sentence too lmao.
