But I need to hold the door for my friend who is still back at the ticket machine.

What is it they say about Karma?

 

[AchtzehnBaby]

That guy was STONE cold out before he got the second concussion on the way to the concrete floor

She gives the best dances in all of Ottawa ?

Yup, she most likely also gives a few little acronyms that itch and burn too

Yep. Look how rigid his body is as it falls over - his legs lock up straight as a board and don't move even as he hits the ground.

Textbook fencing reaction. Dude is KTFO the second he hits the glass.

OHIP babbbyyy

lol...and the door adds insult to injury by opening just as he's laying there.

Joker was freaking awesome. Wow.

Joker was freaking awesome. Wow.

Was thinking about seeing it (I almost never go to the movies) but by this point I think I've heard too much positive reaction and I'm doomed to be underwhelmed due to high expectations

Maybe. It’s just a really good movie to be honest. I haven’t been gripped by a slow burn movie like that in some time.

I was a bit undewhelmed by it but that was because of the hype, not because the movie wasn't good.

I felt that it spent a bit too much time setting up the breakdown and that it did so in a rather superficial manner. The 3rd act was very good though.

The best critic I read was that it really didn't need to be Joker, it could have been a regular Joe and it would have been fine. So not really a negative because it being set in a superhero universe didn't detract from it but it didn't elevate it either. In fact, the Joker being a mystery makes his character scarier, explaining how he came to be that way lessens it. It is why Heath Ledger's Joker is so effective: no rationale, just chaos.

That's more of a meta-critic with the state of cinema today though.

It's not a perfect film by any sense, but I think Joaquin Phoenix's performance alone is worth the cost of admission.

I can't see any instagram links. Is that because I use adblock or because I don't have an account?

I can get behind this take to be honest. It would have been even better without the Batman references. I thought the buildup was really well done though. Almost schizophrenic it was cool.

what happens with this link?

 

[Do Make Say Think]

what happens with this link?

Same, I see a broken link icon and the instagram logo but nothing else. Started happening recently.

Weird. Mine used to as well. Now works.

I am not using instagram either on this PC

 

[Knave]

Do either of you use VPNs or are you on a public network? Instagram might block your IP.

 

[Caeldan]

Might be your adblocker or scriptblocker. I've had issues in the past, since the embeds would constitute a form of cross site scripting I believe.

I heard the movie is pretty much Taxi Driver but with the Joker.
