My Bluesky feed is busier than my Twitter feed was when I left a couple of years ago.
"It should have been a fun movie where Joker goes on a rampage through Gotham and causes chaos" is a take I've seen far too much of. It's "Gandhi should have finished with him gunning down his opponents" levels of missing the point.
FWIW, I can't really agree with the "it's a genius depiction of mental illness and will be reappraised in time" takes, either. I just thought it was...fine? Not great, not terrible, just there.
I only just discovered recently that TPJ had a Blu-ray release. Deeply annoyed; I could've added it to an order I made a while back.
Yeah, I watched it because it was on TV and I was in the mood to just veg out and watch something stupid, and I found it...fine? Like, it's definitely not bad enough you can enjoy ragging on it, so it's not as fun an experience as something worse while also not being very good, it's just there.
