I knew as soon as Phoenix signed on to play Joker that it was going to not only be good but something different. He chooses his roles very carefully.

in the trailer when you see him put the smiley face in the middle of an “o” in his journal with the phrase “the worst part about having a mental illness is people expect you to behave as if you don’t.” I got chills. This is going to be really fuged up. Like black swan/taxi driver fuged up.

Todd Phillips who co-wrote and directed said this is going to be a character study and will have themes involving class and mental illness. So I expect it to be more of a drama then an action type movie.

We'll spend the whole film viewing him as a sympathetic character until the finale when he murders his own mother and gives himself a Glasgow grin. Audience leaves shocked.

Pretty much this.

So much potential here to build a more complex, meaningful yet scary and truly disturbed character without making him too sinister but at the same time hard to figure out.

But in the end, that takes a lot of work and focus to get it right so going with the above will be what they do, sadly.

Great choice of actor though, that'll save it into being worth waiting for it on prime.

I wasn’t as blown away by heath ledgers joker like it seemed the rest of the world was. Yes he played it well, and it’s a tragedy he died. 

I still like the Jack Nicholson joker the best...may be a generational thing, I dunno...

Im excited to see  what Phoenix does...

      They gave him franchise QB money. Sorry but if you don't earn it you can be embarrassed.   He's rich he can take it. Stop feeling sorry for people who can't live up to their contract. This isn't a sport to be soft. Daniels deserves to give back some of that money he stole if you ask me.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      And it was coming off of a bye week. Perhaps he should vacation a bit in Germany in the off season, something certainly seemed to help him there.  No, really... He showed maturation and the possibility that he's turning a corner. That wasn't the NY Giants out there, but the back to back Super Bowl champions with the #3 defense in the league, with them coming off of a prime time loss. And that was a 9-1 team we just played literally down to the last second. Bryce played so well that maybe, maybe he wins over some nay-sayers. It's still early, though, but what a nice breath of fresh air that was. You can win quite a few games if that is your normal performance. It is obvious that we are still on the learning curve, though. But that was one helluva test he just took. Some of these QBs coming out of college just don't have a lot of games under their belts, especially in top end programs. They are perhaps just a year to two years behind center in games that matter before they move up. It can take them some time to hit their stride. We can still be cautious about our future and still celebrate a great game by the kid, though, and we should. He earned the laurels today, or had before they were snatched away at the last second.
