movies

[go birds]

looks i'm VERY immature, so i love phillips' work (road trip, old school, the hangover trilogy, due date, project x, war dogs)...but these are all stupid comedies (even war dogs...had some dramatic moments, but was def a comedy)

is this joker movie a comedy? why in the world would anyone think he can pull of a dramatic-type move that the joker would require?

They're probably going to adapt "The Killing Joke" which is the joker origin story where he went from a nobody stand up comedian to the joker through a series of tragicomedic mishaps.

honestly that sounds pretty dope

I wonder how much the live action version will differ from the animated version, should be an interesting subject matter for a movie.

Seriously? That's the plot?

The graphic novel was written by Alan Moore (Watchmen dude) and has a legendary reputation. The snippets I’ve seen are really brutal and I’m not inclined to read it.

I knew it was Moore's and that it had a good rep in the comics world, but didn't know that was the story. Sounds iffy and I wonder if it would translate.

Only take on Batman I think I'd enjoy now is a more scaled down "world's greatest detective" series, which I doubt would ever happen. Otherwise I feel like I've seen it all.

I read it because it was very short and I had heard the hype. It only reinforced that comic books are not for me and also that adult content comic books are extremely not for me. I would be interested in a film adaptation with Joaquin Phoenix but I wouldn't recommend the comic book unless you're actually into those already. When I said tragicomedic mishaps, the emphasis is not on the comedic part.

If you've ever heard of the joker's "one bad day," that's The Killing Joke.

Well
