Joker 'JOKER: FOLIE À DEUX' (Phillips and Phoenix return for the sequel) General News & Discussion Thread

[Gothamsknight]

This looks fantastic! I was a bit skeptical, but man I am so happy with this footage. It looks genuinely amazing.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

I mean it definitely looks about as far up its own ass as it can get, but who am I kidding. I’ll be seeing it. The gf will probably wanna see it too.

Gonna be a lot of Jokers and Harleys this Halloween, I suppose I’m just relieved the majority of them won’t be covered in face tattoos and looking like meth heads

 

[Black Narcissus]

Yup. This got my money. Gaga is in her bag here, it was made for her.

 

[The Big G]

I like the song choice, also you kinda tell this movie is gunna be a bit of a mind funk..and im all for it

 

[Captain Tired]

Gotta say, I didn't expect to see Steve Coogan of all people in this.

Loved seeing the Joker in a white suit. Brought to mind TDKR, just like the first film did with the talk show segment.

How tho lol

 

[Boom]

The drip is insane.

Do you see an Oscar nom in the forecast for her?

 

[Kane52630]

Oh yeah, I'm in.

 

[Scarlet Spider]

Looks good. Gorgeous visuals. Good music. Phoenix & Gaga look great together.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

How tho lol

I mean the first one was too and I still saw it twice. Not really a bad thing, but it is funny to me. Joaquin’s performance is undeniable but everything else about the movie just seemed fine.

Todd Phillips makes me laugh though. Dude definitely thinks he’s the smartest guy in a 300 mile radius. He’ll still always be the dude who directed Old School to me.

 

[Erik Lensherr]

Looks boring. I don't want to see a musical.

This stuff is only for people who take themselves too seriously

Huh. I guess I just don't get the pretentious, up its own ass take on it all. This looks a lot more fun than the first which I also thought was fine in the end. This looks less dreary tho.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

To each their own. There’s no denying that Joaquin did something special last time around. I’m excited to see how he’ll build on that. Curious about Gaga as well too.

 

[Boom]

Obsessed with his look here.

This is kinda what I mean lol you mean musicals in general, or this in particular? Lots of theater/musical people may take the craft seriously and are very analytical about it, but idk if a movie being a musical inherently means its taking itself too seriously.

 

[Kane52630]

This way more reminds me of the Bruce Timm/Paul Dini stuff in the comics but as a elseworlds tale.

Well, don't watch, pookie. Problem solved.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

However I will say this

Phillips is far better at executing his vision than others who have dabbled in the DC sandbox that are considered pretentious and up their own keister

He and Hildur were astounding, so I'm all for their outings here. Phillips just copied and pasted a ton of stuff, but it wasn't horrendously done imo. I also think Gaga will def be worth the watch.

Is it bad that I can watch that movie a million times and still laugh like its the first viewing?

I have to ask...

 

[GwensNeckBrace]

It looks like instead of Joker turning Harley crazy, she's the one who influences him to go back to his ways. Love this twist

 

[Rod]

Shootout here to LAWRENCE SHER, the cinematographer! Seemed to have done it again.

Certainly, a special talent. Yet again another very strong imagery, managing to apparently keep up with the iconic level of first movie.

 

[Black Narcissus]

Do you see an Oscar nom in the forecast for her?

Most definitely, bald man.

Also, @Kane52630 need that gif of gaga doing the finger gun to her head, it was kinda cute in a weird way. Eh.
