    Baltimore Comic Con Photo Report(s) - October 2019

    in Comics General

    Posted · Edited by Wally's Comics

    Great Show Review Andrew!

    I'm finally rested from a wild weekend. I think I drank my way through Baltimore...

    I had a real buddy share one classic dark craft beer after another.

    I bought books. A lot of books. But I didn't budget enough. I usually walk out of a show with a third of what I brung monetarily but there were just too many deals.

    But as I waited for my ride (flat broke) I helped share the love and became a picker for my pals to help them spend their money. lol!

    There was meat on the bone all over the place. I love it!

    JOKER: THE MOVIE produced by Martin Scorsese (TBD)

    in The Movie Forum

    This movie to me is a "one and done"  I wanted to give it higher but I can understand why critics are on the fence...

    Spoiler

    I liked this movie as a "film" on mental illness (and not a comic book movie).
    The only one that comes close to this (but unlike this film is very re-watchable) was one flew over the cuckoo's nest. 
    The acting was great! And the -script was original - thus very entertaining like a spectator to a bad car crash.
    It was just hard to imagine away how disturbing this film is.
    My major problem (and I hope I'm wrong) is that Hollywood with all their crusaders against gun violence and that doesn't like to seemingly accept responsibility for the pop culture worshipers that it spurns that are ironically off their meds and seeking to be the violent flavor of the week. Little do we forget that one of our own board members fell to the ultra violent tendencies of such a gut wrenching happening. That ultra sad colorado shooting spree was semi spurned by the Joker character from the Heath Ledger off of Dark Knight that became an event for DK Rises.
    I pray I am wrong that someone didn't watch this and felt ironically/chillingly inspired by this.
    I'm not saying this shouldn't have been made. I just pray that we don't have a repeat. And that was all of what was going through my mind when I saw this film.
    Just like the numerous copy cats of columbine. The responsibility to not only these type of acts that get seemingly glamorized by the media, but a more responsible approach
    to rectifying a system to ironically get people the meds (and help) that they need and not to ignore them. Maybe this is message preached to exactly that! I'd like to believe that.
    To me it's a film that deserves a "A" rating, but from my fear of copycats of Colorado it's only a "B-"
