Yes, that's what the article in my OP says. Do you have anything to add?

Just people like saying I focus on financials it interests me. Didn't read the link don't need to already know how it works

And yes I added more to post about the size of the cut.

It's a great story, acted to a tee, directed to a tee. Sounds like movies from yesteryear to me before blockbusters took over. I see it as a return to good STORY telling, something the film industry, in the main, had been incrementally drifting away from. That's my take on it all.

You just repeated the link. What's the point of this conversation?

Man, I give up. I can't interact with you.

I did add extra, you were the one who went off the deep end about it. I hadn't finished the post when you jumped down my throat.

I didn't attack you in my post did I? I hit post because it's hard to post fast on phone and the cat was nuzzling my hand.

I kind of agree; Phoenex was superb (everybody was superb); the cinematography and the sets were astonishing. But I'm such a Scorsese fan that I just felt I'd seen that exact film before. It's literally Taxi Driver + King of Comedy. But yes, it is a work of art - acted, filmed, and scored perfectly.

Scorcese's current Oscar campaign is a bit obnoxious. I get what he's saying, and The Irishman and Joker are up against Marvel, and, hey, all's fair and all that.

Isn't that what "The Batman" film is gonna be?

It will deal more on the "world's greatest detective" aspect of the character and using the Long Halloween series as its story arc.

I really hope so. We'll see!

I would love that.

Yep--all of it combines to make a great STORY. They captured LIFE in Joker; and that is simple to say, not so simple to do, thus.... Art.

I read an article the other day that was talking about the disorder that Joker displays Pseudobulbar affect (PBA) and it's making it an easier conversation to have about.
