    Now my complaint. WHAT THE FUCK DOES THIS MOVIE HAVE TO DO WITH THE INCEL COMMUNITY?!??!! I’m seeing articles about how this movie is trashing on incel this and incel that and it makes no fucking sense.

    Shitposting that got a little to real, picked up by the military, and hit mainstream and now it seems like some of these outlets want an actual shooting so they can get their nut off or something.

    https://io9.gizmodo.com/u-s-military...iol-1838412331

    Over time, some radicalized members of the incel community have formed an ideology that promotes violence. Elliot Rodger self-identified as an incel before he killed six people near the campus of the University of California, Santa Barbara in 2014. And James Holmes, the man who opened fire in a crowded movie theater in 2012 has become a bit of a hero to the incel community. It’s often been repeated that Holmes was inspired by the Joker, a claim that primarily rests on statements the killer reportedly made to police after the fact in which he said he “was the Joker.” Speaking with the Hollywood Reporter, Daniel Oates, Aurora’s chief of police at the time, said that “there is no evidence” the shooter ever said that.

    In the alert emailed to service members, Army officials claimed that incels “also idolize the Joker character, the violent clown from the Batman series, admiring his depiction as a man who must pretend to be happy, but eventually fights back against bullies.”
    If there's any consolation the Air Force had to take the Area 51 raid as a serious threat.

    Did I miss something? What the fuck does being involuntarily celibate have to do with being a fucking nutjob? Is it like a toxic masculinity thing?

    I have no fucking clue. First they tried to tie it to white supremacy because clowns are apparently an anti progressive symbol. Then saying it glorified mentally ill people. Then it will incite incels.

    Now they're trying to claim the movie was too horrifying and people were walking out.

    You're not the only one. I'd recommend reading the Wiki article. Specifically, the history portion will catch you up. I had to give it a read myself not so long ago when incel starting popping up everywhere. Pretty sad to see how it all came to be.

    Not all nutjobs are incels but all incels are fucking insane.

    I only know one couple that walked out, and they are ride or die Republicans.

    A lot of social commentary in the movie, but nothing that screams left or right, and if you see that then it's probably your guilty conscious robbing you of your opportunity to watch a great movie. Sure sucks for those people.

    I was a big fan of Phoenix's performance, and I thought the movie itself was wonderfully shot, scored, paced, all the filmmaking aspects of it were top notch.

    The actual story... I'm not a fan.

    Some plot points are a little eye roll worthy, but are forgivable when you realize
    Spoiler: show
    he was hallucinating almost the entire movie.


    I hope Phoenix at least gets nominated for this. He was really freaking good.

    That guy in the tan/brown shirt is pretty awful. Did he watch the movie because his complaints are nonsense

    That spoiler was what I thought too but my friend thought it all happened, I don’t know which is correct.

    Fun fact nobody'll care about but the staircase that Joker walks up and down to get to his apartment, I grew up in the white building to the right facing down. It's only a few blocks down from Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. Was kinda cool seeing my street on the big screen.
