Going to see this today. Was afraid it was going to be a WOKE! film but loved this quote by the director.

Todd Phillips hates 'woke culture' Speaking of Batman movies without Batman, "Joker" director Todd Phillips is speaking out against "woke culture" in a new Vanity Fair piece on the Joaquin Phoenix film. Phillips is best known for directing comedies like "Road Trip," "Old School" and "The Hangover" trilogy, but says he's taken a darker turn because social justice warriors on social media can't take a joke. "Go try to be funny nowadays with this woke culture," Phillips complained. "There were articles written about why comedies don’t work anymore—I’ll tell you why, because all the f---ing funny guys are like, ‘F--- this s---, because I don’t want to offend you.’ It’s hard to argue with 30 million people on Twitter. You just can’t do it, right? So you just go, ‘I’m out.’ I’m out, and you know what? With all my comedies—I think that what comedies in general all have in common—is they’re irreverent. So I go, ‘How do I do something irreverent, but f--- comedy? Oh I know, let’s take the comic book movie universe and turn it on its head with this.’ And so that’s really where that came from."

Rereading this. Syracuse N.Y. news and a journalist that is iffy.
Fuck it. Two beers in my coat and some pills. Great thing about Utah, 6 dollar matinees. Seattle is much different. Pain killer, beer, and clonazepam.
This better not piss me off but seeing the cast think it will be enjoyable. Safer seeing movies in the day time. Just think it is going to be a WOKE film of bullshit but I have bad feelings from Leto as the Joker.
Though not in it, am wary of this. Actually looking forward to the walk. Really, people fear all the wrong things.
