Comment on Lady Gaga: 'Joker: Folie à Deux' 'Didn't Connect' with Audiences

Honestly didn’t hate it.
Wasn’t what I was expecting, and I suspect that’s where most of the disappointment came from as they wanted two hours of the Joker brutally murdering people…
Far from the worst film I’ve seen in the last few years.

Seconded.
It was very… experimental, I’d say. I applaud them for the balls to try and feel like it wasn’t too far from achieving what it was going for.
Yesterday I was watching a musical episode of ST: Strange New Worlds after a few rums, and I really enjoyed it. However variety is expected from a show like Star Trek, especially because SNW sort of emulates the episodic feeling of the earlier shows.
My point being that while this particular episode was going for a jaunty positive sing-along, the Joker was probably going for something similarish but just in a dramatic and tragic sort of sense.

I was literally singing along.
But as I said, I had had a few rums.
Loved it. But I don’t think I’d have the same energy right now, so watching the episode in this state wouldn’t be as good.
