Doesn't seem to want to let me do that I'm afraid.
Finally got to see Joker last night.
What a performance from Joachim Phoenix.
Difficult viewing, dark and disturbing.
My interpretation of the portrayal of his mental health problems, was that it was a social comment on how the mentally ill are ignored, abused and let down by the system.
I can see why others thought that it was exploitive though.

Battlefield Earth.
The Last Jedi though has a shout in that conversation, due to the royalty of legacy it had to work with, before creating a massive bag of arse.
Yeah I agree with that. Got the feeling that every theme had been done better in other films such as event horizon, interstellar and sunshine etc.
I liked the way it jumped from earth to the moon to mars then to Neptune though. Felt like you were getting further and further isolated.

Joker
It was ok.
Expected to love it or hate it.
It just seemed to chuck most of the recent themes into it without really going anywhere and thought it was more a much more deeper film than it actually was. There was no nuance or subtlety at all.
There are loads of films like this outside Hollywood which are done miles better
All that being said, I did enjoy some scenes.
The score and cinematography saved it as they both had some great moments.
The direction was pretty poor, the steps part was terrible and the bit of the chat show where the director obviously trying to defend the Hangover series was really embarrassing.
I can see both sides with the mental health issue, it was exploitive but fame does exploit mental health.
I was just a bit disappointed I don't have a strong reaction either way. Some bits were even a bit boring.
6.5/10

Watched Fractured on Netflix. Almost stopped watching when the child fell, can't stand kids getting killed injured in a film. Decent ending didn't really see that coming, good performance from Sam Worthington.
A Field In England
Remember watching it years ago and stuck it on just now as I had a couple of hours to kill. A brilliant looking film especially the "still" portrait moments (Edit - just googled a more pretentious term..Tableau vivant!).
Just mad enough as well without disappearing up it's own fundament.
