'Joker' is the latest case of commerce masquerading as art

Defending"Joker" amid pre-release criticism, director Todd Phillips reminded us that art doesn't always make people comfortable.

"Art isn't safe," he told the Washington Post."You want a safe art form? Take up calligraphy."But as the film's protagonist might say, who's kidding whom?"Joker" is a work of art in the way any movie is. That said, this isn't some high-minded art-house flick.

blowryontv Yeah Trump is right you guys ARE fakes news

blowryontv Tell that the recent Disney live action remakes..

Why do y’all hate this movie soooo bad. Have you forgot that movie industry is a buisness? Therefore all movies are... cash grabs. They don’t make movies as a public service..

blowryontv Uh?

blowryontv CNN jodete 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕

blowryontv Soul-less click-bait

blowryontv Warner making fun of itself for making good decisions, pleasing critics, fans and making money? Let's have our right hand make fun of the left and the rest of the body. But seriously it's still art even if it's based on previous art. It's called post-modernism. WeirdSynergy

blowryontv johncampea GraceRandolph do your worst

blowryontv If anyone knows what a cash grab is it's you CNN

blowryontv

blowryontv

blowryontv sufjanstevensjr Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

blowryontv But the Disney remakes are fine, obviously.

blowryontv

blowryontv É seu CasaDelFritz tu tinha muita razão!

blowryontv Smh says the ones using it's success as a cash grab.

blowryontv

blowryontv Nonsense.

blowryontv blowryontv is a fucking 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

blowryontv Which movie made by any studios is not a cash grab?! Srsly , just stop with this shit

blowryontv 🤦‍♂️

blowryontv Tell this guy I think his article is a cash grab capitalizing on a pop culture trend just so he can try and make ends meet in a job he probably doesn't like if he's putting this little effort into it. Yeah, crazy what people can say when reaching, huh?

blowryontv I say 20 more articles tomorrow gonna come out

blowryontv Still at it? Jeez give it up already..

blowryontv

blowryontv Tell Brian that I said to shut up.

blowryontv WRONG

blowryontv Every tent pole movie is a cash grab you moronic waste of space. Nobody makes a movie hoping it DOESN’T make money. Can CNN just die now? The only people who listen to CNN are people who eat paint. The hate boner you all have for this movie is astounding.

blowryontv This is actual slander lmfaoooooooo

blowryontv What are you smoking? They literally could have made ANY easy breezy comic book movie and called it Joker and made money. They did NOT need to make it “arty” to cash in.

blowryontv

blowryontv CNN...are you guys on something? Because that has to be some heavy shit your taking man

blowryontv Like clickbait masquerading as news 🙄.

blowryontv dun dun dun heeeeeeeeeeey

blowryontv CNN clown news network

Literally every movie is a cash grab

blowryontv people writing for CNN⤵️

blowryontv Keep going. The more you bash this film the more it'll grab money. 😁

blowryontv Brian Lowry, you’re a fool. For you to say that “there is no point to [Joker]...” shows how ignorant you are, and you’re in the news! If you actually watched it, you’d know this film makes many poignant points. mentalhealth

blowryontv His logic: 'Ohh, this movie made a lot of money, it must be automatically a cash grab, who cares about the story'

blowryontv At least it has some discussion prompting material unlike Marvel!!!!

blowryontv We live in a society

blowryontv

blowryontv

blowryontv What have you been doing for 38 years huh?

blowryontv

blowryontv I think CNN is discovering that movies get made so people can make money from them. At least they're consistent on this.

blowryontv It was already embarrassing, but now you're into truly pathetic.

blowryontv You mad bro

blowryontv and their clickbate posts are cash grabs.

blowryontv

blowryontv Aight I didn’t even like the movie but I gotta say that’s a bad take

blowryontv Hey Brian if you love the Joker so much (which looking at this obsession you obviously love him) why dont you marry him?

blowryontv Since there were no shooting like you hopped, now it's a cash grab........ please stop

blowryontv CNN you are the ones masquerading as a news outlet. Love how director Todd Philips uses the mirror as way of evoking that both Joker & Batman are a reflection of each other, two sides of the same coin but both will eventually take different paths. Now this is what I call real art

blowryontv cnn sounds so desperate

blowryontv Wow, you REALLY hate this film, huh. I’m definitely gonna see it now.

blowryontv Joker was a cash grab? Lmao.

blowryontv CNN in 1 Month from now on: WHY AREN'T YOU BUYING TICKETS FOR FROZEN 2 AND 3 YEARS OF DISNEY+ YOU SHOULD BE FUNDING THE DYSTOPIAN MOUSE FUTURE, MASS SHOOTER

blowryontv Just stop already

blowryontv

blowryontv Dear CNN,

blowryontv The hate for this film is very interesting. I don’t see major news outlets being so vocal about all these other remakes and calling them cash grabs.

blowryontv Its that the whole point? Wasn’t The Godfather or Gone with the Wind cash grabs

blowryontv

blowryontv bro just give up

blowryontv Joker is art. If you want to write about cash grabs and commerce I recommend you write about Marvel movies, especially Endgame!

blowryontv You really are trying every angle aren't you. It's really something.

blowryontv You guys really make me want to see this movie.

blowryontv Considering the fact that about 85% of movies these days are based off of preexisting properties. Why is it a problem now?

blowryontv

blowryontv You guys really hate this movie, huh?

blowryontv Like everything Disney puts out isn’t a cash grab, countless “live-action” remakes and marvel sequels, and is one of the biggest conglomerates in entertainment? Let’s talk about that instead.

blowryontv WarnerMedia making the most out of CNNs failed ratings by having them low key promote this to the bulk of the viewership (people who watch or read CNN for the laughs and poor takes)

blowryontv First the fake controversy failed now yall resorting to 'cash grab' lmao

blowryontv Why do you keep doing this?

blowryontv The entire MCU is a cash grab in that same respect

blowryontv Why is CNN hating on the Joker so much? It’s a movie. R.E.L.A.X

blowryontv EsDeMamador vean, este wey es mamador nivel internacional. Para que vean que no nomás hay mamadores en México.

blowryontv Looks really great

blowryontv Wow. CNN keeps writing hit pieces on this movie. I MUST now see it

blowryontv Give it up fakenewsCNN no one is buying your bullshit anymore

blowryontv Breaking News: Movie studio makes movie only to make money! Pearls clutched everywhere.

blowryontv This is a BAD take man....

blowryontv Imagine saying this about Black Panther.

blowryontv Stay in your place

blowryontv does CNN review all movies? don’t think so... might be politically influenced.

blowryontv You can't say 'show business' without 'business.' It's a business.

blowryontv CNN is the latest case of biased opinions masquerading as objective journalism.

blowryontv Why do they hate this movie? So they can associate it with Trump.

blowryontv CNN is a cash grab by a major studio (in this case, WarnerMedia) which capitalizes on mental illness.

blowryontv I took the time to read your horrid movie review. Joker is quite simply one of the few masterpieces that Hollywood has produced over the past many years. It's dripping with raw electric energy in a way that only a few films have managed to pull off. You're steeped in irrelevance.

blowryontv Wait... aren’t all major motion picture releases supposed to be cash grabs? *checking for avengers endgame as an indie movie property

blowryontv Do you think you any influence CNN? Give it up already.

Could 'Joker' inspire real-world violence?The new superhero film "Joker" tells the origin story of one of the most iconic villains in comics. But could its disaffected main character inspire troubled young men to pursue violence in real life? Hopefully. I saw it at noon. Came home, walked my dogs, ate some tacos. No urges yet. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Feels like people in the media sure want it to happen with these constant suggestions. Shame on you and everyone with these articles.

Variety Critics Debate ‘Joker’It has been a month since “Joker” had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival, and in that time Todd Phillips’ dark DC comic-book-villain movie has taken quite a journey. At Veni… Cool , thanks for sharing The arguement against the movie seems to be more of the writer’s own disassociative feelings abt the events- at no point did I find myself ‘rooting’ for Arthur Fleck. The murders on the train were not him rising to the level of hero- here in Florida, that’s ‘Stand your Ground.’ I stopped reading your dopey ass critics after the second one I wanted to give you a second chance but that went to shit to I think your trying to be too entertaining review the movie and move on don’t try to be funny or over creative with it
