Spending the months leading up to Joker’s release anticipating how bad it will be and then putting it on the worst of the year list for not living down to your expectations is pretty much Peak 2019 AV Club.

The sheer degree of Watchman knob-polishing on avclub is unreal, given how uninspired and hacky it all really is.

I don’t get this idea that a 30 hour experience isn’t worth $60 when people regularly spend $20 on a 2 hour movie.

“eh, the movie is about guillotining everyone.”

No, it really isn’t.

Yeah I bet he doesn’t understand that the movie is about guillotining people like him.

Yes, let’s coddle a guy who says off-the-cuff things like, “As vulgar as they may be, it doesn’t matter that much, but you have to find some sort of orientation. As I always say, the poet must not close his eyes, must not avert them.” Surely it’s that his pitifully limited experience with English has prevented him…

As a ESL-speaker, contractions are easy, and Herzog not using them is just very Herzogian, not in any way language-skill related.

To spell it out, the song was written by Frank Loesser and originally performed by his wife and himself as a party trick for friends...

‘faced accusations for decades that he molested his daughter Dylan Farrow when she was a child, with the accusations’

Good take. That being said, it’s still one of my favorite movies of all time, as shitty as it still is.

3 beers a night?! whoa man, you had a problem!   (/s)

Sure, still, fuck the Yankees though.

Yeah, sure, but also fuck the Yankees. 

err, “incels” refer to themselves in this way because they’re “involuntary celibates”, they rage against women. This is clearly an antisemitic crime. It’s a shooting of jewish people celebrating Yom Kippur, so wtf are you on about?

Whats more pathetic are the people who use the word incel.

Nah, I don’t think Greg is nearly big enough.

I really did not buy into any sense of sincerity on Shiv’s part. That was “the play.” It was clever and it worked. But I do not for one second believe that she meant any of it or that would be her actual approach to running Waystar.

Why is this film different?
