Just now on the Bruins/Stars broadcast, talking about the small number of people in the audience in Dallas:
"I know it's football season, but still..."
"I think that football season already ended around here a couple of weeks ago"
Haaaaaaa!
The movie #Heretic is very good at conveying the sheer, visceral terror of being stuck in a conversation with an annoying atheist, and I say this as an annoying atheist.
@KyleLeRoy@ShadowTodd Having seen neither, I remember thinking at the time that Bohemian Rhapsody would have been a much better winner, if only because that movie genuinely had fans that really loved it. Even people who liked Green Book were like, "eh, it's pretty good" at most.
@ShadowTodd Speculation on this has been pretty wild, but I think one theory that merits consideration is that they've realized at some point that no one actually wants a new Blade movie.
This begs the question: who is this movie even for?
Me. This movie was made exactly for me - someone who likes "Joker," but hates everything surrounding "Joker."
When "Joker" came out, my response was basically "I love this movie, but the discourse around it is so exhausting that I don't want to talk about it ever."
This is not true for #Joker2, because I will happily tell everyone that it rocks. I love this movie.
Another aspect that I've seen criticized is that it seems designed to alienate fans of the first one, and I can definitely see that. It's kind of like if David Fincher directed "Fight Club 2: Tyler Durden Fucking Sucks, You Mouthbreathing Morons."
