Joker premiere disinvites press from Hollywood red carpet

[Horza]

Warner Bros. Entertainment has restricted access for print and broadcast journalists from the red carpet at the upcoming U.S. premiere of “Joker.” The event, which will take place on Saturday in Hollywood at the famous TCL Chinese Theatre, will now only allow photographers access to talent and filmmakers.

“Our red carpet is comprised of photographers only,” a studio spokesperson told Variety, “a lot has been said about ‘Joker,’ and we just feel it’s time for people to see the film.”

Concerns about the “Joker” movie and its portrayal of the titular character’s violent tendencies as a result of ostracization have sprung up since the movie’s debut at the Venice Film Festival, with some expressing worry the thriller paints the central mass murderer too sympathetically.

Who would have thought that making a movie sympathetic to a psychopathic serial killer might cause some concerns?

Obligatory superhero movies are for children.

Todd Phillips is pushing back on recent criticism that his upcoming film “Joker,” starring Joaquin Phoenix, might promote real-world violence. (https://www.thewrap.com/joker-director-todd-phillips-rebuffs-criticism-of-dark-tone-we-didnt-make-the-movie-to-push-buttons-exclusive/)

“We didn’t make the movie to push buttons,” Phillips told TheWrap’s Sharon Waxman in an interview last Friday about the filmmaking process. To the issue of controversy over the movie, Phillips confesses confusion. “Isn’t it good to have these discussions? Isn’t it good to have these discussions about these movies, about violence?”

Joker has quiet Los Angeles premiere amidst possible threats. (https://deadline.com/2019/09/joker-premiere-hollywood-threats-warner-bros-todd-phillips-joaquin-phoenix-1202747803/)

Warner Bros. curbed broadcast and print interviewers from their “green” carpet premiere and regulated the press line to photos-only. Before the screening started, director Todd Phillips came out to greet the audience — something he doesn’t do often. He joked that Joker hasn’t been getting any press lately and told everyone to spread the word about the film. He then said that the film should just be appreciated for the art that it is.

Heroes and villains are in movies that are made for children.

"Joker was also the first live-action film in the Batman film franchise to receive an R-rating from the Motion Picture Association of America, due to "strong bloody violence, disturbing behavior, language, and brief sexual images."

It's like Trix are for kids, but those kids grow up and turn tricks. Same thing.

[Baler]

I'll still pick it up on blu-ray to add to my collection but I am skeptical. I didn't go see it in the theaters.

According to sources, uniformed patrol cops will also be sent to AMC theaters throughout the city for screenings of the comic book-inspired movie, which officially opens in theaters across the country Friday, but is showing in some city theaters Thursday. The police coverage is “until further notice, so every showing time at each theater will be covered until we are directed to stop,” one high-ranking police source in Manhattan said.

Joker's director explains how woke culture ruined comedy. (https://www.cbr.com/todd-phillips-woke-culture-ruined-comedy-joker/)

“Go try to be funny nowadays with this woke culture,” he said. “There were articles written about why comedies don’t work anymore—I’ll tell you why, because all the f*cking funny guys are like, ‘F*ck this shit, because I don’t want to offend you.’ It’s hard to argue with 30 million people on Twitter. You just can’t do it, right? So you just go, ‘I’m out.’”

Sometimes, as I download stuff off the web, browse here and there and see these pictures, I wonder ... how people come up with this stuff?

I just love this image, if I knew how I would make it a hd Wallpaper , with a black and white background but main characters in color, it would be awesome.

Sadly all I can do now is resize it and then try to sharpen it a bit as I make it my new wallpaper.

Also Joker is a good movie, at least much better than suicide squad.

As a DC fanboi , DC always gets the bottom of the barrel in script and quality of actors, so Joker is actually quite good when taking that into consideration.

If you enjoy Marvel movies then you might have mixed opinions as this movie is violent for violences sake, but if you enjoy the DC Mythos, lore and want to see a truly deranged person acting as an even more deranged person oh boy, you will enjoy it.

If you enjoyed some of the dark aspects of the much tamer Gotham Series, then you will enjoy Joker.

Convicted pedophile Gary Glitter set to earn royalties from ‘Joker’ movie. (https://www.cnbc.com/2019/10/07/joker-convicted-pedophile-gary-glitter-set-to-earn-big-royalties.html)

Despite the film’s opening weekend success, the makers of the movie have stoked controversy for featuring Glitter’s 1972 hit “Rock and Roll Part 2” in a lengthy scene. Glitter is reportedly expected to receive a lump sum for allowing the recording to be used in “Joker.” The 75-year-old was jailed for a total of 16 years in 2015 for attempted rape, four counts of indecent assault and one count of having sex with a girl under 13.
