InTheCloset 17,754 Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 Can we all just pretend that Joker fad didnt happen? Gaga got her check. So just erase it collectively from our minds. Banish all talk of it from here. Somehow get Illuminati and MKULTRA to remove its memory from the masses too? Where's the spunk, Adam? 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

These people love to exaggerate for the sake of a couple likes & retweets. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gemein3 1,042 Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 (edited) The masses couldn’t care less about what the reviewers say. Good or bad reviews — the masses you mentioned — will go see this movie in massive numbers. The music will get exposed and streamed. The only ones whining and complaining are Gaga fans here on GGD, and tbh it’s both irrelevant and annoying af. __________________ ^ This got bumped from a merged thread, but still!

rafaelgherardi 726 Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 I just watched the movie last night and as most people that have already seen it, I thought Lee was definitely not the character we expected and she didn't really contribute to the story as she should have... For the problem was not exactly the screen time, but here lines and their dialogues. That's very unfortunate because the movie and the character had a huge potential and we have only Todd to be blamed on this. I believe Gaga gave her best and it's sad that we haven't seen everything she's shot, here are a few that I remember that definitely were cut: - Lee singing That's Entertainment in the staircase while the Police is looking for Joker: - Lee (apparently pregnant) and coming down the stairs with Joker - Elevator scene in full makeup and looks of Harley Quinn - Courthouse stairs: kissing and then giving the finger to someone in the crowd: What else do you remember seeing that ended up being cut from the film? 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gave the first a rewatch yesterday and forgot how much I loved it. Got my ticket booked for tomorrow I've heard the opposite actually I feel like if you loved the first one (which I did too), you'll not enjoy this one as much. I'm also seeing it tomorrow and I'm so nervous tbh 𝕀𝕗 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕨𝕖𝕣𝕖 𝕒 𝕤𝕚𝕟𝕟𝕖𝕣, 𝕀 𝕔𝕠𝕦𝕝𝕕 𝕞𝕒𝕜𝕖 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕓𝕖𝕝𝕚𝕖𝕧𝕖 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyanDante 5,848 Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 2 hours ago, Ziggy said: But then it’s like why did y’all announce it with him and Harley dancing 😂 I actually think you’re onto something and that would have been an interesting and easy line to use in promotion but my theory is Joaquin’s return contract stipulated minimal promo (since he hates it) and Gaga being Gaga is picking up the rest seeing as she’s been EVERYWHERE and he less so but that’s just added to the impression she has an out-sized role in the film. Honestly I think the movie just got marketed kinda weird. Not like suicide squad levels of bait and switch but just a little confusing to maximize Gaga’s star power to get butts in seats despite a semi limited presence. whats interesting though is joker in the dark knight also has limited appearances BUT every appearance is a memorable scene. So I think in terms of utilization, they maybe just didn’t maximize her potential. Granted he’s a villain and she’s a love interest but still! I don’t think screentime totals are the determinant of impact but how that time is utilized Yeah the way they advertised is just plain wrong. No wonder everyone is pissed. But as soon as the cartoon portion started, it was pretty on the nose what ‘Folie A Deux’ would be. I am also okay with the screentime, but my main gripe was how under utilized Harley is. Like if you take her character out, does the plot really change? I felt she needed atleast one standout scene in the movie. Even Mr Puddles and Ricky had way more memorable scenes , and they were in there for hardly 5 minutes. Having said that the hate the movie is getting is unreal. Like it doesn’t deserve the lashings its getting online. I'm not very good with Social Mediaᵀᴹ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leoj305 3,002 Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 Previews coming out are bad ngl , talking about numbers. I know typically reviews don’t matter for movies ( Venom/ Sucide Squad), but audience scores do matter ….. that and the fact it went from this dark disgusting but brilliant movie to a musical with lady Gaga in it is def affecting the minds of simpletons on twitter, I can’t comment further because I haven’t seen it, but I guess I’ll see for myself what’s up, I was a huge fan of the first movie. Hoping that 7 M domestic number is just a fluke for previews. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIM820 1,755 Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 (edited) Oof... PostTrak is saying viewers only gave this a 1/2 star and 40% positive- the same star rating Megalopolis got at 45% positive. RT is plummeting and I'm really not looking forward to the CinemaScore now. Mega's was a D+... Also all the scene clips they post are mostly just musical sequences that are being made fun of in the comments and quotes. I feel really bad she's attached and being clowned for this.
