Phoenix did Ledger proud.

The difference will always be that, I think, we all expected Phoenix to perform well.

I don't think that a single person expected the results that Ledger gave us. That performance was beyond his 'comfort zone'. The fact that Nolan let Heath direct those little home-made videos adds to it.

The mess grows.

Joker is now only $10.9M unadjusted from matching The Dark Knight Rises. Crazy for a film that WB was nervous to move forward with (kind of like Deadpool with Fox), how it now is turning into one of the most award-celebrated huge hit for the studio.

Couldn’t wait and found a blu-Ray on eBay for $10. Advertised as authentic but only in paper sleeve (I keep in a binder so fine by me), explicitly says not a copy, and from a highly rated seller. All that said, no idea if it’s a fake, but I’m watching now and quality is as expected. My fav movie of 2019, love it.

For.me, best picture is either JOKER or ONCE UPON A TIME...IN HOLLYWOOD. I'd be very happy if one of those takes home the Oscar.

+ $287M over Deadpool (2016)

+ $248.3M over Wonder Woman

+ $214.1M over Venom

+ $190M over Spider-Man: Homecoming

+ $65.2M over The Dark Knight

Sounds like President Luthor won't come from Todd Phillips.

Joker Day 112 (1/23) bring it to $10.6M shy of matching The Dark Knight Rises.

All from a film that received extensive attention from CNN, The Guardian, The Hollywood Reporter and io9 as a potential contributor for violence that should not be released.

Quote

Joaquin Phoenix, picking up his Best Actor prize for Joker, made a particularly poignant speech on the topic.

 

“I feel conflicted because so many of my fellow actors that are deserving don’t have that same privilege. I think we send a very clear message to people of color that you’re not welcome here,” he said.

 

“I don’t think anybody wants a handout or preferential treatment, people just want to be acknowledged, appreciated and respected for their work. This is not a self-righteous condemnation. I’m part of the problem,” Phoenix continued.

 

“We have to do the hard work to truly understand systemic racism. I think it is the obligation of the people that have created and perpetuate and benefit from a system of oppression to be the ones that dismantle it. That’s on us,” he concluded.

Another win for the comic book genre!
