What was Jokey about The Joker?

The joke was that crybaby Leto complained about his scenes being cut as if The Joker was relevant to the plot. Dude, you have an Oscar, be happy with that.

He just looked like a middled aged green haired goth guy with bad teeth and worse gums. K

And that's a great descriptor of Jared not even in costume.

Margot Robie was good at playing a 14 year old high school girl who decided to give up organized softball for rebellion and kool aide hair dye. But there should have been more for her, like a character to play, and there wasn't.

Unfortunately there's not much there there with Harley except to play off of others and her relationship with the Joker is so, like the kids say, problematic, that if they kept that in there'd be umpteen op-ed pieces about DC hating women. So we get Harley Quinn as Toni Basi in "O Mickey".

but like Darger and The Vivian Girls there was something in her (and his obsession) that spoke to the artists' audiences.

I was waiting for the shoe to drop and find out that St.Clair was a grafter but he and those few others truly connected with her and saw something in the imperfection. I've been watching the BTS videos for Barbra Streisand's new CD where every single person fawn over her and in Hugh Jackman's he talks about Barbra loving the truth in the song. So it might not be the right note/key but she's looking for truth. And I think there is beauty in someone who earnestly believes in what they're performing no matter how it sounds.

The artist just does the work and starves alone or feeds in herds accordingly.

I love that.

I think that movie did touch on the Community of Art and hinted at the Obsession that it causes in its Artist and even in its Audience (they do call us FanGirls for a reason).

I really thought St.Clair was paying everyone $2 to see her. She really touched that community--at least the ones who weren't there just to be in her circle.

Yummy! this post is PRIME! Edgar and Idris! Oh Glory!

They need to do a movie together where they're shirtless. That could be the whole plot line, "Two shirtless men in a room". I'll be there opening night!

I do find it amusing that they tried to sell Ben Hur to the so-called "Christian" crowd in the US. Aren't they paying attention these days? A lot of those self-called "Christians" are anti-Semitic among their other peculiarities. And Jesus isn't really their concern. Jesus just doesn't look "right". Wink, wink, nudge, nudge.

Maybe they were targeting the off-shoot group Jews for Jesus.

This is one time no one criticized it for a having a predominantly Caucasian cast cos no one cared about this clap-trap.

Jack Houston does look hot though.

The only good thing about this film was seeing modern!Jack cos I've only seen him in period pieces (Boardwalk Empire, Pride, Prejudice and Zombies, How to Kill Your Darlings).

Now THAT is the perfect analogy! for her. Wish that I had thought of that.

Just TWO?

Let your libido SOAR (or drown, heh heh) with characters for that film.
