…huh?

The current method?

That's what kept me from seeing this movie in the theater: every review I read chortled over the recycled elements from Jurassic Park (now with awkward self-awareness!) and there seemed to be oh-so-many of them, with a new one popping up in each review I read. Seeing that happen, over and over, would have moved me out…

There were some various non-white caricatures that helped the white lady discover that her money and white-bread good looks wouldn't necessarily keep her from getting into Harvard.

White supremacists? This is one of those movies where I felt like the people making didn't have any idea they were making a movie about how great it is to be white and rich.

There were scary parts? I read these books as preteen psychodramas. I was never actually frightened by a wizard, vampire or werewolf I encountered in them. The horror elements always seemed derivative and hokey, like, "what if this monster from the movies… had to do with homework?" Okay, sure, I do homework, but I…

Wow, that list of words is sure funny or something.

Okay.

LOL, I can just see them trying to do their best Peter Sellers brownface at him to try to encourage him.

I haven't read a Batman comic all the way through in years. If I were directing this picture, I'd keep Leto away from them and have him focus on his character, as he's doing (in his way).

Probably not.

Possibly, yeah. His remarks here are certainly the most promising thing I've seen about it so far. I'm content to know that what comic book fans think of comic book movies doesn't really matter, because there's so few of us.

he's playing the Joker, I think it's a pretty safe assumption that not only might he have read some comics recently,

That it's likely he didn't get the idea from reading it, since it's not even the same idea and neither idea is all that hard to think up?

Comic book readers have got to get over this "where it's revealed" tic. All of these stories contradict each other; there's no consistency to them. It's not "revealed" that something was one way or the other "all along", it's just one story where, for purposes of that story, something happened a certain way.

Yeah, I'm glad it exists. It might just make this movie bearable - might.

Photorealism is not the purpose of immersing yourself in a character.

You may not have heard of Jared Leto but he's a pretty successful actor.

Same as before: this movie won't lure me to theaters, but Leto sounds like he has a handle on his character. I feel like I'm like the mirror-universe version of the average nerd, who will apparently wait in line to see this at midnight with the intent of cataloguing everything Leto did to "ruin" "their" character.

The only thing I liked about that movie was that I could see where pieces had been taken out of the video games and put back together with different underlying meanings to them. There wasn't much else there for me. Even the best parts of the games' musical scores were awkwardly jammed into a credits sequence at the…
