The trailers leave me with the impression this isn't about the Batman's JOKER, but about the disintegration of the psyche of someone, somewhere else...outside the Bat Universe as it were.
As a fan of both, I will be renting this to see what Philips and Phoenix did actually come up with.

damn saw the clip and goddammit

Why So Blu?

Tickets are on sale. Got mine for 10/3 in Dolby Cinema.

Meathead

My friends and I are in too... 10/3 IMAX

Why So Blu?

I see that ArcLight theaters will have it in 35mm, but of this was shot in 4K, won't that just mean it's a blowup? I think the Hollywood ArcLight is showing it in 70mm in the Dome.

I'll get my ticket tomorrow for a 35mm showing on 10/3.

Is Joker a 'Dangerous' Movie? Joaquin Phoenix and Director Todd Phillips Respond to Critics

https://uk.ign.com/articles/2019/09/...lips-interview

Coincidentally, a friend of mine mentioned yesterday he is not going to Joker opening weekend, because he is afraid of a theater shooting.

With all of this concern over a movie, the media better stop putting out this negative vibe before someone takes these ideas and runs with them.

meanwhile, Rambo is out in theaters

Why So Blu?

Rambo doesn't seem to be a hero for the incel community, though.

Giantrobo

Exactly.

E Unit

Another reason not to go.

What a joke I'll be there on night one.

Hardly likely that an incel inspired by JOKER to shoot up a theater would choose a screening of JOKER filled with other incels in the audience. More likely they'd go into the nearest theater showing a rom-com or "female empowerment" movie like HUSTLERS.

RichC2

It all seems like a bit much. Most of the baddies mentioned in articles about this have a cool factor to them. I could see them inspiring copycats. Pheonix's just looks like a schlubby loser that loses it, and I'm personally doubtful of how much of that will rub off.

That's what the police are afraid of.
