alright just left this movie. some takeaways and no spoilers:
- less than 15% of the movie is even close to musical focused
- way, way too much lady gaga side profile
- the story fleshes out a bit of what happened during the first movie but focuses on the aftermath
- lady gaga is just a fangirl
- movie finishes in a way the joker story can't ever continue
these are just quick takeaways if you guys want more in depth I can
6.5/10 wasn't awful, wasn't a musical but wasn't great either

this movie felt a lot like lady gaga saw herself as a protagonist and wrote herself into it

anyway dont let the tag of "musical" sway you away from this. the "musical" parts are less frequent than a normal movie would have a loud musical sequence. less than 20m in 2h18m ~6% of the movie

would i tell you to go watch it?
hard no
if its free/somebody is streaming it it's worthwhile to flesh out the story but it's really unremarkable. it feels like lady gaga wanted somebody to make a movie with her as the pro/antagonist

@p pete i never really understood what people meant by a woman ruined something. i watched it today. that woman ruined that movie

@graf Ha, they didn't wanna do a sequel but studios will hire hit men over $1B. Maybe this was "The Producers" and they intended to make a plausible bomb.

@graf Todd Phillips followed GG Allin around. He held a camera while GG stopped singing, got off the stage, shat onto the floor, rolled in it, smeared it on his face, and then started assaulting people in the audience. You think there's a guy that can hold a camera steady while that happens but that can't handle Lady Gaga?

@p i'd believe he wanted a sequel but didnt want to write the character into a corner and lady gaga showed up and drove it into the fucking ground

@graf Holy fucking shit. Because I quit smoking and thus have not for many years looked at magazine covers while waiting for the guy behind the counter to get me a pack of reds, I have not seen her since the meat dress thing. She must have gone to a real butcher, man. Women don't age like this, they don't turn into gremlins.

@p oh yeah look at her from the side. todd phillips filmed her from the side for 90% of her screen time. her nose is fucking huge

@graf @p I think the movies diverged too far from the cartoon/comic where she was a professional psychologist before she became the character.

@p yeah they tried that. i heard the harley quinn thing thrown out but i dont think she ever "identified" as it. nobody is buying harley quinn in a business suit at some guys murder trial

@p the funny thing about the movie is they have lady gaga in all these costumes and all these makeup changes for the movie promotion but she is only in those the last maybe 10-20 minutes of the movie. the entire movie she's a nondescript nobody. you can tell they filmed the movie and its parts around her and she was the catalyst for it. she wrote herself into the entire movie and im actually disgusted about it
picture related. they film her doing this makeup for like 5-6 minutes and it's her face for maybe 1-2 minutes at the end of the movie

@graf I thought the Harley Quinn thing was supposed to be moderately creepy because she's a teenager, like, a groupie instead of some middle-aged smug woman.

@WhitestTemplar @graf @yockeypuck Between Arch's and Hypnotic's reviews, I think I'm in the same camp .. I can't not see the subversion, I can't turn it off, most movies are just rage fests for me anyhow, and the stuff made as cultural vandalism all the way through like this is 10x worse. Just like i refuse to watch that mad maxine furburger movie

@graf @yockeypuck That is a pretty typical result when they add a big name woman to the mix. The focus goes away from the male lead and becomes about the woman

@yockeypuck thats just it. i dont know if it was gay or just cringe. i dont know what to feel. it was so unremarkable. you know when you go to an art exhibit and they have like title cards about characters in a scene or whatever? thats what this movie is. its like lady gaga wrote herself into a protagonist role but wanted somebody else to read the extra card about it. its not great. its not boring but its really, really not good

@yockeypuck joker vs joker 2 is the exact comparison you should give somebody when they say "i want another one!"
-
Embed this notice
@yockeypuck thinking more on this, i don't think i can describe it any other way. every scene it felt like lady gaga wrote herself into it. for example about half way through the movie he's in a courthouse and he cant compose himself until she's close to him. then he feeds off her any time he speaks. the whole movie is about lady gaga when she was never even a thought in the first. it's not a good movie. it's OK but it's really, really not good and it's 100% because of lady gaga

Lady Gaga has just never done it for me. Even makeup and lighting doesn't work.
Katie Perry or Taylor Swift have their moments if the camera work is just right, but Lady Gaga has always been a six at best. Those flapjacks don't help.

This fits with my theory that it was an intentional bomb. Put just enough music in it so that you can call it a musical and there's your excuse.

People have intentionally sabotaged films before.
The question is who? Usually it is either the director or one of the producers, but this could be a team effort.

@Deplorable_Degenerate @graf @Humpleupagus @ForbiddenDreamer Before Joker even came out, Joe-quin and Phillips kept stressing that this isn't a "universe" thing, they just wanted to make a self-contained movie and they didn't intend a sequel. I think if you don't want to make a sequel, you can make something like this, sell it to the studio as extremely bold, then blame the public for not wanting to see it.

@graf @Humpleupagus Crack is a hell of a drug. Maybe coke deflates them slower. But you can tell from the lines, like they get these stretch marks on them, that's the connective tissue disintegrating. For whatever reason, coke has that effect, or whatever cocktail she's on.
