No doubt the studio wants it. I just don't think Phillips and Joaquin will end up doing it.

Some of this seems fricked up for the sake of being fricked up. It's stylistic in a bad way. Like a music video of psychosis. I remember MTV int he 80's too.

Started it, seems like there is some extra footage that wasn’t in theatres
I don’t know about that. The DVD has about twenty different takes of Fleck making his entrance on DiNero’s talk show. Each entrance is radically different.

Joker is one of the more honest, raw movies I've ever seen. I'm thrilled it did so well at the box office, counter to the idiotic attacks AND it not even playing in China.
Still, it's not exactly the feel good flick of the year. It deserves a re-watch, but I won't be watching it over and over again like some other flicks. Personal preference , is all.

Yeah, those mothers of shooting victims and they're politely worded letter almost shut Joker down. Can't believe it still found success.

Now do John Wick, Matrix and literally every gun toting movie Hollywood has produced in the last … 50 years ?
Mothers writing letters was a sad and pathetic publicity stunt by those who sought their own attention or were trying to tank the movie sales. Hell, I bet the convoluted attempt to tie it to " gun violence " helped more than it hurt!
Thanks moms!
And the fairy tale that it in any way glorified gun violence is beyond laughable.

You haven't read their letter, obviously. It doesn't ask that theaters not show the movie.
And you're also making my point that the "attacks" mentioned in the post I replied to were not attacks at all.
And no one protested John Wick or The Matrix before their releases. No one knew what The Matrix would be (and no one thought it would make any money) and John Wick was an indie production that very few people went to see in theaters. The protests trend to go to big budget films that the general public has been aware of for months prior to release. It's too bad Joker couldn't drum up any actual anti-support. It haf to make its the money the old-fashioned way: by being a fine drama with fine performances that cribs from greater things from decades past. The Hollywood formula.

Watched it last night for the first time.
Phoenix was stellar and I enjoyed it until they subverted the whole thing at the end by making it seem like a story he made up to a psychiatrist. Why even do that? It made the whole movie feel pointless to me.

It's pretty open to interpret that final scene as subverting the entire narrative as something he made up in his head.
We already know we have an unreliable narrator since he made up his girlfriend and a successful night of stand-up.
The ending is either:
A. He's been daydreaming the entire movie or telling the story to his psychiatrist.
or
B. You expect me to believe that with a mob of followers around him at the end he somehow got caught.
I looked it up and I'm not the only one that saw it this way, so it's not far fetched. I just don't like that that was how it ended.

Watched this a while back and came away disappointed. I know the poster who referenced Taxi Driver got downvoted but he’s correct. It’s a blatant ripoff of it.
And I just didn’t enjoy it. Which sucks because I was really excited to watch it and was hoping it would be amazing.
I thought the ending was kinda silly, to the point where I kinda agree with the poster above me who mentioned it almost felt like he was making up an unbelievable story in the end.

Of course I didn't read the letter because any claim that their concerns were legitimately tied to the movie were fantasy. The imagined associations to incel and white male rage constructs were absolute rubbish. Just like the Matrix, no one had SEEN Joker yet, but the urban legend of another Colorado movie theatre shooting was too juicy for the media to pass up.
( And btw, that shooting also had zero to do with Batman or the Joker - who wasn't even IN the movie! )
