@movierabbithole@sbodrojan this scene purposefully breaks the rule as a utility, though. it’s literally the first and main scene in which the joker tries to draw parallels between himself and batman. the inversion of their positions the frame thus makes sense, and the film doesn’t do it again.
Tim Dillon on America: “We’re not the high school bully anymore. We’re the weird kid who may have a gun. We’re not the bully, we’re not the jock, we’re not the quarterback.

Sandra Hüller on if she "feels the guilt" of Germany's past:

MTG sacrificed her political career to stand against genocide, against Trump, against the Epstein Class, and to defend the survivors of Epstein’s trafficking. If that doesn’t earn credibility I don’t know what possibly could.
This is like Cypher eating the steak in The Matrix, regretting ever taking the red pill. "After nine years, you know what I realize? ... Ignorance is bliss."
CTV: What if [a windfall profits tax on big oil] deflates them?
Avi Lewis: Tell the family where 1 in 4 Canadians is skipping a meal .. to feed their kids, that an industry making $90B in profits this year can’t afford to pay a little bit more. I’m sorry I just don’t accept it.
