Say what you want about the first movie, the location work was excellent.

I really can't wait for people to try and pronounce Folie à Deux in conversations. Have you seen that Joker: Fool a Dukes?

I hope they have a scene at the Bendix Diner!! Love when that location turns up on film. And they make amazing food.

Well that’s extremely exciting. Gotham is canonically in NJ, it’s about time

I saw them setting up on BRoadway in Fair Lawn last week. Looks like they were doing an overnight shoot bc by morning they were totally gone.

I tried to watch the first one for the NJ scenes and ended up dying of boredom about 30 minutes in

I am really not feeling the fact it's a musical, but I was one of those people that thought Heath Ledger would be a terrible Joker. I'll wait for reviews before I see it.

I still have personal pictures of the sets when they filmed the first one on market street

I actually loved the Joaquin Phoenix Joker. Thought it was only going to be an origin movie, so I'm thrilled to see they are making a sequel. Joaquin Phoenix is a great actor. Love his stuff

I was background on the last Joker movie, so I might work on this one if they're looking for more background.

So it looks like they're really going to lean into the dirt and run-down motif this time around.

It has a 69% on Tomato my dude, it isnt cinema. Its a D-.

Here are what cinema expert say.

>Never evolves beyond scene after scene of painful slights, degradations, and worse - empty provocations.

>Joker is a self-serious movie that, in spite of its lead, posits itself as revolutionary when it never hovers above bland and tasteless.

>Bleak and juvenile

>Joker is a bad movie, yes: It's predictable, clichéd, deeply derivative of other, better movies, and overwritten to the point of self-parody.

Once you graduate High School, you may better be able to reflect on what "cinema" is.

I like how they use Newark as Gotham, but it really should be Camden

Way too dangerous thanks to Route 130, though. Those hollywood types wouldn't be able to make it to the shoot safely. I'm picturing whole caravans of cars and crew vehicles wondering when there'll be a left turn, all with their blinkers on through multiple intersections.

Something that's perpetually gray, like an endless depression. A place that would make you slit your own wrists just to see some color."

The problem with this area is that each bagel store has extreme bad components and if I took the good qualities of all them, I’d have a great bagel store.

One has good ‘sandwich’ bagels and tasty eggs, but the service is painfully slow and often gets our order wrong (even if they’re not busy); another the eggs are great, but the sausages are halved links (unacceptable); a different one has crappy hard NYC style bagels, but great juices, shakes, and nice people. 🤷‍♀️

I miss Palisades Park bagels, but it’s out of the way now. I also like Lodi and Bob’s, but haven’t been often enough to really judge.

I don’t know how we’re supposed to sympathize with the joker. There is no sympathizing with the joker. I won’t watch the second one. This is trash disguised as something meaningful. It is not meaningful. The first one was a really terrible movie and somehow people got hyped up about it.

In the 1966 show, Gotham was clearly a stand in for New York. They had a lot of puns that made it plain as day. For example, the mayor of New York was John Lindsay. The name of the mayor in the 66 show was Linseed. The Dynamic Duo even went across the bridge to New Guernsey a few times. Har, har, har.
