Oh yes, the incel terrorist alt-right movie.
The Joker is really a typical Trump supporter, even though Gotham City is eternally New York City in an alternate universe where the fiscal crisis of the 1970s went the other way.
But the one true Joker is still Cesar Romero, though Jack Nicholson did a good job with the character.
Jack was good but utterly dwarfed by Heath Ledger's interpretation.

For those of us of a certain age, Cesar Romero is the One True Joker.

Heath was good. He realized how good and knew he would never attain that quality in his acting again so he became despondent and killed himself with drugs.

I don't want to turn this into a thread on stupid pompous critics but this specific asshat hated The Last Jedi, The Big Short, and The Shawshank Redemption, among other 8 and 9 star flicks.
I'm not saying he should be horsewhipped, bitchslapped, or keelhauled, but there should be some retribution, like being forced to watch Battlefield Earth all day and night for a week straight.
The flash of light you saw in the sky was not a UFO. Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus.

I suggest a theater showing films he considers worthy of his august approval with an audience of teen girls chatting texting and popping gum. The last at a volume and frequency to resemble frying bacon.

Right wing (or at any rate non-leftist) pundits have a lot to say about this movie.
Sargon has no less than five videos on the subject. Didn't watch them all, not posting any here.
Here's one from PJ Watson which is not too long and bearable to watch (he did two).
A good representative of the genre.
I only just now watched this. I find it fucking hilarious that a dyed in the wool Trump supporter like PJ Watson, someone who does nothing but hurl vitriol at people he hates, spent the last minute or so of the movie decrying the breakdown of civility in modern culture. Mote, beam, eye, etc. It's like me going on a rant about people being too fat and cynical.
