Great Movie Review, Or Greatest Movie Review?

You remember in the Batman comic The Killing Joke how the Joker sets out to prove his theory that One Bad Day can turn a man from a mild-mannered normal citizen to a psychotic clown who exists only to spread chaos and insanity because he's realized that the entire universe is a big random cruel joke and you just gotta laugh?

I think this movie may have just proved it.

Damn shame, as I love the first one so.

Anyway, brb, off to poison some fish and buy a purple suit.

You'll need a nubile psychiatrist to drive insane, though

I think that review just convinced me I need to see this film. My brain needs a couple of nudges back towards the brink of madness.

It kinda has to be seen to be believed. And even then, the believing may not come easy.

This review does make you look at it with a new eye, though ...

I was at the Comics Library today, and lo! they had Paul Dini's Dangerous Dames & Demons, which includes Mad Love, which I hadn't read before. Vary nice. Very, very nice! I shall have to get it*, yes I will.



*I think someone at scans_daily tipped me off about it, but I misremembered the title and bought Lovers & Madmen instead. XD

"It will destabilize your limbic system, probably forever" ... "but after you fall into a brazen despair that the walls of reality have become toxic ice cream of a million flavors, you will gasp with a greater realization: that once the world is reduced, forever, to a kaleidoscope of whirling shapes, you are totally free."

I know I'm repeating myself here, but yeah, that's another way of saying that NOW I KNOW WHERE THE JOKER IN MY ICON IS COMING FROM.

And being in a roomful of squawking tweeners at 2 in the morning only added to the sensation that black was east and up was white.

Sometimes, the dyslexia helps.

Okay, I have to admit, I actually enjoyed it. Of course, part of that enjoyment involved poking fun at it the entire time and making tentacle rape jokes and laughing at the sheer stupidity of it all...we were rather mystified by the fact that no one else in the theater was laughing. The movie was hilarious!

Well, yeah, but I was just hoping to come out of the theater like I did two years ago, when I'd been reduced to a happy seven-year-old thinking WHEE OPTIMUS VROOM VROOM BUDDOW. This one just had me thinking ??!?!??!.

It was not the reaction I wanted.

Fair enough. I never got to see the first one in theaters, so I missed out on a huge chunk of the emotional oomph, and seeing this one in theaters was enough for me.
