dunno lol
You'd have to be an American
>marketing scheme
>not just 4channel autists and twitter retards making shit up
You guys ascribe too much to deliberate planning that is easily explained by stupidity
careful now
the shills will call you a disneyshill
It unironically says a lot about American society and how brainwashed the people are when they think a capeshit flick is dangerous

chapo has a good segment on this at 45 minutes onward
>chapo
HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA FAGGOT
He's right.
I mean they had a shooting at a batman movie by a guy saying he was the joker.
That's real. That happened.
>chapo
chuds get out
This. Remember the Sony leaks? Studios are fucking retarded
Mentally ill people can latch onto anything and interpret it as a sign. Charles Manson thought a fucking Beatles album was an end times prophecy.
I dunno. Have you had the Popeye's chicken user?
you will never be a women
One more month till we rise, bros.
you will never be an incel
>Fight Club
>"real issues about masculinity"
lol, what? Schizophrenia and vague rage at consumerism/social conformism channeled into blatantly homoerotic episodes of sweaty shirtless men clumsily punching each other?
sounds like Mikey is assuming his personal issues with "masculinity" are shared by others.
>hollywood
>carefully planned
those hacks just smoke coke all day and pay amateurs to tell stories for them
All incels have a sub 100 IQ. There is no such thing as a smart virgin adult male.
Its gonna work well on those sexless retards.
Yep. The powers that be create entire exaggerated/imaginary narratives and people get totally sucked in. It's crazy.
This is excellent bait, but kill yourself anyway
Have we had any "behind the scenes" accounts of Phoenix "losing his mind" because he got "too into the role" yet?
Because those are always honest and true.
This is how I know alarmist "progressives" of today would have been the alarmist Christian moralists of 20 years ago. These are the same kinds of freakouts people like Marilyn Manson got. Always fun watching the supposed "enlightened" of each decade jump at every shadow they see.
Oh weight, nm.
>"Joaquin Phoenix has never exactly been known for being a "big" guy, so taking more than 50 pounds off of his frame is pretty extreme. It was so extreme, apparently, that it wound up altering his thinking, as he notes in this quote via ET Canada, and that brought him to a place where he was able to enter the proper mindset to play Arthur Fleck in Joker. Perhaps a result of malnutrition? That's something that a doctor would have to determine, but it certainly wouldn't be surprising to learn as a diagnosis."
People are alarmed that internet echo-chambers and dog-whistling pundits are provoking angry, despairing people into snapping.
They aren't bothered in the least by WB's cute marketing gimmickry. You'll notice no one even broaches the subject of "should this movie be shown". There have been outcries, edits and theatrical cancellations before.
This is just harmless, rehashed Oscar-bait nothing.
I do think the line blurs. All it takes is some guy from Warner's marketing team to shitpost a half hour every other night. I wouldn't put it past people working on marketing this movie to go on random sites and post shit about it. Especially considering they might be trying to use the "alt right" boogeyman to get media attention. Look at how DIsney and Sony use the spectre of "misogynist internet trolls" to avoid any attacks on their movie. In a way, this is almost the opposite gameplan from that. Though I could see some bullshit reverse psychology used by marketing teams for this film. They just need to get some artists talking about this movie to get the bloody snowball rolling.
It also talked about how so many young men were being emasculated from being raised by mothers with absent or ineffective fathers. Plus how gender norms were shifting for young men in the 90s. It's even stranger now.
budget was $55 million. that's practically nothing for capeshit.
who thinks it's going to destroy the world? incels? i don't care about that shit it just looks good and joaquin rarely disappoints.
Fucking disney shill, fuck you .
Losing weight for a role is a big deal? Jesus Christ. Really?
I'm disappointed they wasted him on this dreck.
So you are saying that RT flooded itself with audience reviews?
That Yea Forums is a gud boy who dindu nuffin?
I said it a hundred times and I'll say it again: this movie will be the tamest, safest, most vanilla psychological trailer ever made.
Apparently we are supposed to believe that it makes you into the Joker.
swaglord is also WB and Disney shill
Remember that even as invisibro he never announced he was a mod off site until moot left
he's a groyper faggot and a spooky movie night faggot
it is a marketing scheme. They already did this a couple years ago with the creepy clowns during the release of the first "IT" remake. Its the same company they probably did the clown meme earlier this year
Most likely. And he's still right.
>NOOOOOOOOOOOOO INCEL DON'T SHOOT ME PUT THE GUN DOWN AND HAVE SEX
>Joker movie
>is actually anti-white
wtf you told me this was OUR movie
There’s literally a meme based terror movement now though. People literally do mass shootings because of memes
No, they do shootings because they are deeply unhappy and angry, and their "support group" is online trolls, e-celebs and pundits hawking gold and vitamin water.
there are entire PR firms and marketing agencies that focus on internet memes do you really think they havent figured out how to work the white gamer community by now?
>no you're being tricked
>no YOU'RE being tricked!
Remember how there was suddenly twin peaks threads for months? And then a few months later season 3 was announced?
Remember "*snap* yep this ones going into my cringe folder" was spammed for weeks and then a few months later Shrek 5 was announced?
Remember shaggy posting? Same thing as the other two. dies down and a new movie is announced
the most hilarious one is the boomer with the monster drink. Monster itself says impublicly and in all their earnings reports that millenial "tech savvy (white) makes are their primary target demographic and consumer
I don't like what you are implying, fellow 20-something!
they do them so that a fat british guy will make a youtube video called "(shooter's name) Did Nothing Wrong"
Of course, but they form political movements largely based in those online communities and memes are a big part.
You can’t have antifa and alt-right protests and violence with people flying kek flags, Brenton Tarrant meme posting, Pepe becoming mascot in Hong Kong protests (that I almost wonder if that’s some weird federal intelligence plant, maybe, could just be bodied) and ignore that there is a political component to meme bullshit now, and some of it is being deliberately weaponized by extremists.
It’s ridiculous and pretty retarded, but it’s also what’s happening. Even ISIS has adopted this, they made some cooking show spoof on bomb building and put it on YouTube like a year or so ago- trying to appeal to disaffected youth through weird irony humor. Even marketing is memey as fuck, it’s literally a movement in propaganda just as much as all those 30s and 40s posters you can date by their style.
it's being weaponized by everyone state actors corporations and political groups. People spend time on the internet a lot now shop there communicate their attention span is declining and tunnel vision and hyperreality kick in where the online becomes more real than the offline and in this mental state memes are the propaganda of choice an image that's funny it gets burned into your brain especially if it repeats and you keep seeing it over and over
You know that Shrekposting didn't just start with the snap meme? It's gone all the way back to 2013. Years before the movie was announced.
But they don’t do shootings *because* of memes. Memes form within all online communities and some of those communities just happen to beget “political movements”. Then the memes become associated with those movements, usually by media industry boomers who don’t understand internet culture.
You’re correct, but sometimes it’s just coincidence. The Twin Peaks threads actually started when it was first put on Netflix, for example.
The point is, in an environment like this one a movie like this could absolutely be a magnet for attacks.
All it takes for something to be a symbol is for people to collectively see it as such. You already see alt-righters using it as one and you see their opposition in journalists confirming it. Doesn’t mean anything will really happen, but let’s not pretend half the culture war shit isn’t about movies tv and video games as is. It’s really not outrageous to think the kind of people making Tarrant Pepes and YouTube videos on the joker being redpilled could do some awful shit with something like this as a rallying point.
>It’s really not outrageous to think the kind of people making Tarrant Pepes and YouTube videos on the joker being redpilled could do some awful shit with something like this as a rallying point.
The creatives who come up with that shit are already happily expressing themselves. They aren't prepping for the Great Uprising, they are polishing memes for the next round of meme-warfare.
You're like someone who watches movies and doesn't realize they are all actors.
alt-righter's aren't an actual threat to the establishment they are isolated individuals larping on the web all their honeypot's are carefully controlled and monitored all their IP's are known and if they make a large purchase of ammo they will be monitored more closely than usual
