first off, i’m not sure what insight you expect a critic to have into specific decisions a director has made, nor do i understand what difference that makes to critiquing. the ‘why’ doesn’t really matter if the movie doesn’t work.

It sounds as stupid as I was hoping it would be. 

That’s giving Elvis too much credit. Seriously.

And also Cast Away, where he enslaves Wilson before leaving him to die out at sea.

He still looked like Anakin when he was in the Jedi Temple, not a 7' tall cyborg with a completely different voice. The one thing they could have done that would make some sense is to have shown Reva playing dead and have a clone call Anakin, Lord Vader, or something. Otherwise there is no reason she would connect…

My personal view is that it gets overturned on appeal.

So, according to you, and according to how you think this juror thinks, in cases of “mutual abuse” neither party is abused. No one has been abused. Got it.

All you did was highlight that the Juror didn’t understand what the case was. Framing it was Heard and her team having the burden of proof is just not correct.

I’ll preface this by saying I think that the “mutually abusive” line is bullshit, and that eventually lashing out at your abuser does not constitute a “mutually abusive” relationship. But:

Also, she didn’t have to prove anything.  HE had to prove that she was lying.  The fact a juror in the case didn’t understand this is maddening.

Looks like he NYPD Blew it.  

Hey, it’s Jimmy Smits! I got impatient so I figured I’d leave a message with details of that big galactic secret we’re keeping about the boy on Tatooine with Owen! I mean, I guess I could have said “the thing in the place with you-know-who” since you do already know who and all, but I... did not do that.

Damn straight. Deet and a fan will do you.

At 1st I was excited for him turning them all gross and dark. And now hearing it will be a sweet show, I’m even more excited! Loved watching the reruns as a kid in the late 70's and early 80s!

This. When I first heard about this project I was pretty skeptical because I assumed he would make it all ‘edgy and gritty.’ But the more I see of it, the more I like it.

You could make a modest argument that House of 1,000 Corpses et al ARE his serious version of the Munsters.

It’s a natural point in Rob Zombie’s fascinations. I’ve loved his general art vibe for years, but really just don’t watch gory movies by choice so have missed... er... everything he’s done in movies up until now.

I’m intrigued because it looks so cheesy.

I mainly just remember a mediocre film that was a blatant, awkward mishmash of old Scorsese films (Taxi Driver and The King of Comedy), and how most people who loved this Joker movie apparently had never seen either of those classics.
