How do you define "arthouse"?
Daniel Kelly
It is since they literally explicitly told the audience that his black GF was in his imagination instead of subtly cluing the audience.
Matthew Diaz
>this movie lacked subtlety, that means it's bad
Nolan Edwards

Lucas Perry

Juan Martin

Juan Nelson

Nathaniel Baker
Gabriel Scott
It played at the Venice film festival (and won the Golden Lion) which imo makes it arthouse (and this is coming from someone who thinks it's bad).
Colton Baker
that one's debatable
Jason Collins
yes but it's tasty fast food
Brayden Lopez

Lincoln Taylor

Caleb Richardson
the polanski movie was better
Blake Sanders
And yet you're still talking about it 6 months later

This is arthouse that we're talking about: it's supposed to be thought-provoking and make you feel emotional. If the director has to tell their audience something that they could easily figure out (with enough brain cells) through subtlety, then it's bad arthouse.
Levi Smith
Damn Marvel really is running scared.
Oliver Howard
Ian Scott
fast food kino*
Nicholas Parker
not necessarily a bad thing if it opens the door for more plebs to check out real arthouse.

>plebs STILL getting filtered by the flashback scene
The purpose wasn't to make clear that the negress was indeed never his girlfriend, but to show that Arthur himself was having this realization by evoking the earlier talkshow fantasy, wherein he was clearly able to distinguish reality from comforting fantasy. After all other aspects of his reality have been destroyed, his own perception can now no longer be trusted; thus, the start of his active suicidality. I wouldn't doubt if Phillips was self-concious of this inclusion as well, but his auteur nature knew it was too logical to cut.
Adrian Collins
Joker is kino

I enjoyed the movie.

Joker is a great film considering how shit everything else has been lately. Todd Phillips wanted to make a film that brought things back to the way it used to be through capeshit lens to lure audiences in, he's said this countless times. The weakest part is easily the story they chose to go with but I'd prefer Todd Phillips writing over David S. Goyer tier shit anyday. Todd also uses improvisation as a tool, you can see this in all of his films and they boost his shitty scripts up to at least meh tier. Yas Forums hates it because some of reddit like it.
Bentley Sanders
The only cringe scene is the trust-fund singers one. Rest of the movie is pretty good.
Ethan Evans
Is it cool to hate this movie now?

Had some pretty bad writing at points. Main thing that comes to mind is the final scene on the talk show. The segment would have ended and he would have been hauled off way, way, way sooner. I know some fag queer shithead will probably argue it might be a delusion just like the earlier talk show segment, but then that makes the ending just retarded "it was all a dream" type bullshit. Sucks either way.
Julian Walker
>it's not perfectly realistic, that means it's bad
William Perez
And I love it.
Fag Queer Shithead here.
I assumed it was just because of the times and the kind of moral degeneration that had occurred in society where they'd keep him on.
Chase Clark
Todd Phillips says in the commentary Murray keeps it going because he needs ratings and thinks this'll get him more. Whole scenes with just Murray were cut so Arthur would be the main focus of everything.
Nicholas Martin
It's worse than just a bit unrealistic. It's downright silly. If the movie is at least going to try to have some semblance of "realism" to it compared to other superhero kind of films, why would they suddenly be given a pass for a particularly shitty unrealistic segment where a talk show host for some reason gets into some lengthy debate with some unhinged weirdo for SEVERAL minutes on a late night talk show and let's him drone one angrily about stupid shit? It's just bad writing.
Tyler Nelson
The what?
Ayden Morgan
Does it not tell you how bad the writing itself is then that you had to read comments from the director outside of the film to understand his intention? Why could he not write a more natural scene? Nobody buys that this would get him more ratings, because it wouldn't. It's not like the Joker is a celebrity at that point, he's just some random nobody. It would have been like Jimmy Kimmel getting into an argument with Tay Zonday when he had him on the show. That's not good ratings for anybody.
