It’s Monday. As expected we had some pretty sloppy wet weather all weekend.
The girlfriend returned from her trip to Ohio on Sunday. And no, I didn’t have any strippers over. My weekend was much more low-key in reality. One thing I did take advantage of was my girlfriend’s dislike of scary and violent movies. So, in her absence I packed in as many as possible and enjoyed every moment. I watched six different movies but my favorite of the weekend was easily Joker. I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about Joaquin Phoenix taking over the role of Arthur Fleck, but he didn’t take long to win me over. Watching his dark and violent slip into madness was brutally compelling.
Joker received 11 Oscar nominations, including best actor for Joaquin. His performance was definitely Oscar worthy but the competition is tight and the Academy may be turned off by the dark nature of the film and its violence. If you don’t have a problem with psychological thrillers and violence, I recommend checking it out.
