Members Faulkner Posted October 2, 2019 Members Share Posted October 2, 2019 I think if the film performs, and it looks like it will, Joaquin at least will be hard for the Academy to resist. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 2, 2019 Members Share Posted October 2, 2019 I'm sure you're right, but it's just such garbage. Not that that's anything new - look at all the Green Book winners (aside from Mahershala Ali) - but a movie that is basically a vigilante call to arms, complete with a desperate campaign dripped in the persecution complex of these men - it deserves nothing but contempt, and the same goes for everyone involved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DramatistDreamer Posted October 2, 2019 Members Share Posted October 2, 2019 There was a news story on last night's news that security is being 'beefed up' at many theaters that are screening Joker because some authorities fear the threat of mass shootings and violence. I don't plan on seeing the movie but part of me wonders how this could affect turnout. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted October 8, 2019 Administrator Share Posted October 8, 2019 You should watch it and decide for yourself instead of reading what others are saying. I saw the movie and thought it wasn't as good as I hoped. Joaquin was phenomenal and I hope he wins the Oscar. These aren't story spoilers but I'll tag them anyway.....they're just general comments but I'll play it safe: Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members I Am A Swede Posted October 12, 2019 Members Share Posted October 12, 2019 ^^ That was an interesting read. Opinions definitely vary a lot regarding this movie. Whether it will be rewarded by the AMPAS or not is a different matter. The Academy usually tend to go for the "safer" option when it comes to Best picture. I'm sure I'm forgetting someone, but off the top of my head I can only think of "The Silence of the Lambs" beating "Bugsy", "JFK", "The Prince of Tides" and "Beauty and the Beast" as an example of when the more controversial choice came out on top. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted December 4, 2019 Members Share Posted December 4, 2019 (edited) Is it just me, or does anyone else think there's a new Judy Garland biopic every year? How many times do we need to rehash Judy, her (gay) husbands and her many, many pills? Edited December 4, 2019 by Khan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
