People are actually arguing that JOKER is some great leftist film that argues in favor of social services for the poor and underserved? How, by suggesting that poor people who struggle with mental illness are ticking time bombs of savage violence?pic.twitter.com/D4nZ1UsvRg

shoutout to SNL for reigniting the JOKER debate, and shoutout to me for getting sucked back into it

I'm also mystified by the argument that JOKER is some sort of principled stand against out of touch late-night comedy elites. I mean have you seen The Hangover films? TP will gleefully make fun of anyone. JOKER is just a story. It doesn't have some clear moral ethic or statement.

(Which is not the same as saying that it doesn't make meaning. It definitely does. Just, IMO, not the meanings that certain people are ascribing to it.) Also this thread of my own arguments is tiresome to even me. I can't imagine how you, reader of these tweets, must be feeling.

Replying to @Anna_Sforza
I definitely don't think it's a must see so you're fine not watching it IMO, but if you do decide to watch it, I think Joaquin's performance is very interesting, and I like the overall look of the film, even if I don't love the film itself.
