I love the movie trailer as a medium, and find it fascinating - I'd just about be willing to go to the movies to see the trailers, and then leave (though YouTube makes that less palatable than pre-YT).

The Joker trailer is amazing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAGVQLHvwOY … If there was an Oscar for best performance in a trailer, Joaquin Phoenix would be a lock. (Maybe ever? He's just astonishing here.)

Jack Nicholson was terrific as the Joker. Heath Ledger was much, much better, truly astonishing. I don't know how good Joaquin Phoenix is going to be, but maybe even as good as Ledger(?) Seems very Jungian, some response of our collective unconscious to a powerful archetype

I'm a little torn about watching a movie about the Joker. He embodies chaos and is not supposed to be understood. Why does he kill? Because he does. A movie that explains the Joker seems like a misguided goal.

I had the same initial response. One of the cleverest things about Dark Knight is the way the Joker lies about his past, telling multiple origin stories. But here I think (hope) it will work, because the whole story is about the pathology, not the consequences.

I think Joaquin is up against it. He's a phenom actor but Ledger's joker is so revered that all subsequent interpretations get measured against that performance. The idea of a "dark" comic book movie was somewhat new at the time as well so Heath's Joker was so diff.

Nicholson owes a lot of his Joker to Cesar Romero.

I saw in my Activity that somebody Liked a tweet from a critic who had seen Joker and was raving about it. Were you the one that Liked it - do you have a link?
