I knew as soon as Phoenix signed on to play Joker that it was going to not only be good but something different. He chooses his roles very carefully.

in the trailer when you see him put the smiley face in the middle of an “o” in his journal with the phrase “the worst part about having a mental illness is people expect you to behave as if you don’t.” I got chills. This is going to be really fuged up. Like black swan/taxi driver fuged up.

Todd Phillips who co-wrote and directed said this is going to be a character study and will have themes involving class and mental illness. So I expect it to be more of a drama then an action type movie.

We'll spend the whole film viewing him as a sympathetic character until the finale when he murders his own mother and gives himself a Glasgow grin. Audience leaves shocked.

Pretty much this.

So much potential here to build a more complex, meaningful yet scary and truly disturbed character without making him too sinister but at the same time hard to figure out.

But in the end, that takes a lot of work and focus to get it right so going with the above will be what they do, sadly.

Great choice of actor though, that'll save it into being worth waiting for it on prime.

I wasn’t as blown away by heath ledgers joker like it seemed the rest of the world was. Yes he played it well, and it’s a tragedy he died. 

I still like the Jack Nicholson joker the best...may be a generational thing, I dunno...

Im excited to see  what Phoenix does...

      Don't be greedy.

      I don’t see what would make him so good with Bryce to be honest, that we aren’t covering now with Tet and Coker. We need a Smitty type. Easier said than done but those smoke screens and stuff, with two Moose types for people to worry about, seems better to me. A little guy with supremes quickness, that will fight for a ball thrown to him. Smitty was a very rare specimen.    I think looking for straight up speed to go downfield, can’t really use it with Bryce. I feel like a speed demon would just outrun Bryce’s ball and have to coast on his deep routes to stay within range.  You need a QB that will launch it 50-60 yards so he can turn on the afterburners and go.

      I’m just not impressed with these hires/openings

      By HeelsPanthersCanes · Posted

      I still can't believe Harbaugh took the Giants job knowing the Bills job was going to open up with anything less than a Super Bowl run by McDermott. Now he's stuck with basically the white Lamar Jackson, on and off the field, a RB who will be in the WWE in 2 years, and Malik Nabers who will want to be traded by the end of next year.  Not to mention that division is an absolute gauntlet.  Stefanski to the Falcons, unfortunately for us, is a great hire.  He will see what a bum Penix is, make Cousins the starter and they will run away with the division for the next 2-3 years.  The rest of the jobs are great opportunities to get a guaranteed $30-$50M depending on who you are and where you go, but there isn't a single job out there where you are going to win immediately other than Buffalo (where you have to deal with a front office undermining you) and Baltimore (where your QB purposely sounds like he has a mouth full of marbles and dresses like he's in a Bobby Shmurda video).

      DJ Moore. The quitting WR

      By frankw · Posted

      Folks complained quite frequently when DJ Moore was here that he was not a #1 and never would be. That was when he was still on a rookie contract and then briefly on the new deal we signed him to which now looks like an absolute steal compared to his current contract. If he were here now making what he's making we would never hear the end of it. Gotta turn the page.
