| Without a Villainous Force to Fight, This Joker is Skin Deep, Untested and More Deserving Than This. |
Any origin or rise to power tale worth making
a film about should involve an event truly worth the cost of admission.
"Dull don't draw," kind of recaptures a message shared by Stanley
Kubrick about picking the right project to pursue.
"Make it real, but not
boring," he reminded us all.
This upcoming origin tale rests in
a world where clown status ALONE is tantamount to a super- villain.
Shooting a TV host during a live program appears to be enough, too.
Who cares? What is worth getting
excited about? Joker's origin film must be anchored with a battle worth
talking about. If the Joker is to rise he has to become a fierce frightening
force in the minds of the masses--especially in those commissioned to stop his
terror. The only way The Joker can predominate an evil stable is if he
carries with him an unparalleled presage that truly can define a character,
make them virtually unstoppable.
His origin should include early suffering
at the hands of the current king heavy and impossible force. Dig one up -
big headed baddie named "Egg Head" who has a rule that people never
look at his head. An Egyptian expansionist with money and an unbeaten
streak in the shape of “King Tut.” Comic
fan boys will rush to buy a ticket. A man with a deformed noggin they call "Clayface." Come on Warner's - BRING IT.
Joker needs to earn the name and he
must persevere and overcome impossible odds.
Otherwise a gun and a bullet kills
him. Who gives a sh*t?
Early "film festival
promoters" have only performed their job by praising the film and even
predicting Oscar wins. Phoenix is a top 3 best living actor. He and
Hoffman may have experimented with heroin together…they were very close in “Master”
and this may be speculation-you decide.
Warners made a HUGE POWER MOVE IN
sidelining Leto and bring in JP. Sadly, the sizzle and seductive lure of
this film stopped there because The Joker has nobody to fight against and if
unchallenged, untested then there really is nothing to get optimistic
about. Joker's rise should be legendary; we are getting ordinary and
being asked to pay for it.
The studio is betting that since
the opposing force of this film is the 1%, that people will like it and blah,
blah, blah. Nothing will change – it’s success will only make the 1% richer and
the rest of us poorer simply due to the widespread outbreak of a deadly spirit
killing disease called :
“BAD MOVIES THAT SHOULD NEVER HAVE
BEEN FUNDED FOR FILM STOCK.”
Ha ha ha ha ha ha !
"Are you laughing now?"
No.
