Cdot apparently went to a screening tonight.
@cdotharrison: They had a cop outside and wanded us before we came into the screening. This better be flames. https://twitter.com/cdotharrison/sta...436161/photo/1 @cdotharrison: Joker was the best movie I’ve seen since Wolf Of Wall Street. Joaquin Phoenix was as good as Heath Ledger but in a very different way. Instant classic. Go see it. |

Just got back from it. It was a damn good movie imo. Phoenix put his own stamp on the Joker character and I literally couldn't take my eyes off him. Intense, awkward and down right scary at times to watch. He is such an enigma.

Honestly this is how DC should've always approached their characters. What a freaking film!! Phoenix is the best joker for me hands down IMO. What an actor.

I thought this movie was going to be Oscar bait but it's kind of the opposite. Audiences absolutely love it so far, and critics are lukewarm (even though 68% on RT is nothing to sneeze at - the audience score is super high on this one)

Fantastic movie. A great stand alone film. Not a super hero movie. So don’t expect that type of movie. It’s kind of slow at times but it’s neccessary to show the depth of emotions within the Joker and the transformation into the menace and madness.
Very human take. No cartoon BS here. Raw emotions. Phoenix’s performance will not only win the Oscar but live longer than you and me. Truly legendary. You can’t take your eyes off the guy. So many levels and he goes there on each one. Close ups where you have to bring it, no cheating the screen with lighting or other distractions. and he nails it. |

Honestly, with clever writing they could dive deeper into the mystical things that make up the cartoons, I feel this is what a DC film should be as opposed to marvel..has the dark noir vibe. I would love to see him evolve into fighting Batman but it'll never happen |

****ing awesome. One of the most satisfying movies I’ve seen in years. Exactly what I was hoping for.

I haven't seen this movie yet but I've read reviews and from what I'm reading it seems "Joker" may have a slow burn decent into madness. How would you compare the tone of this move to Kubrick's "The Shining"?
The Shining is one of my top 3 movies of all time. I'm just wondering how you would compare the tone "Joker" uses to tell its story parallels to "The Shining". Going to see it on Thursday so no spoilers please. |

And for Chiefs fans, the movie even had a little Gary Glitter to really set the mood.
