Brilliantly unpredictable I'm pretty sure this is actually Outsider Art Stunning... Unironically a near-masterpiece Could have been a minor masterpiece, if not for the ending So, about that TV series, then...? Surprised at the bad reviews What was up with the weird colors for blood? Good film, but... Almost seems like two different movies stitched together View all posts >

Too long ago for me to remember with any certainty, but I think it was Cowboy Bebop: The Movie. I still got it, though. I used to like them a lot back in the mid-to-late 90's. Haven't really listened to them in ages, though. Having heard of this guy for the first time now... yeah, goes beyond simply being a dickhead; that's just straight up severe mental illness, with a generous side helping of suicidal tendencies. He should be locked up in a padded cell, for his and everyone else's sake. I've <i>detested</i> them with a <i>burning passion</i> from the very first time I heard them. I sighed in utter unmitigated relief the moment the mid 90s rolled on and I was thankfully spared being subjected to their so-called "music" day in and day out. I'd die a happy man if I never had to listen to a single second of their insufferable self-important <i>whiny</i> shit ever again. I'd probably do a loose adaptation of Bruce Timm's and Paul Dini's Mad Love, just as the first was clearly inspired by Alan Moore's and Brian Bolland's The Killing Joke. Essentially, Harley as Arthur/Joker's Arkham-appointed therapist, well meaning but woefully unprepared, finding herself seeing things his way more and more as nothing goes right in her personal life, until she became Harley Quinn and broke him out, and they rode off into the sunset in a sort of twisted codependent "happy ending". It'd probably turn into more of a Harley Quinn movie than a Joker one, I suppose, but then I really don't think there's much more that could be done with the character without bringing Batman into it. Rien d'autre que c'est le nom populaire de ce phénomène, je crois; comme "schadenfreude," par example. I actually thought that was the only clever bit of writing in this whole disaster - Joker 2, "madness of two." Beat me to it. Adam Sandler Will Ferrell So he made a movie for "weirdos" and it made over a billion dollars on a shoestring budget, but when he came back to denounce those same "weirdos," the entire thing turns into a huge box office disaster? ...Yeeeah, maybe it's just me, but I'm fairly certain it isn't fans of the first film who got egg on their faces right now. ...Seriously, now? You mean to tell me neither she, nor anyone else for that matter, at any point thought making a <i>musical</i> was a bad idea for a sequel to a film whose target audience was fans of 70's and 80's Scorsese and/or comics?
