Finally, finally, finally got this one completed and the credits rolled. Some of my pics along the way seem to have gone missing, but no biggie.
This is Gerald of Detroit in his assless chaps with his tighty whities hanging out...? Don't ask me why.

These are tiny 28mm prints from OMNIForge miniatures. They have fantasy, Star Wars and Battletech prints as well. These are the most detailed and clean prints I've bought. Do yourself a favor and get 32mm!
This is just a well made action movie before the glut of MCU junk hit the screen. A solid B+ and a great introduction to the character. This is one of the few superhero movies I'll give this high of a grade for. I haven't watched many of the Marvel or even DC movies in some years. No need to. Chris Nolans' Dark Knight and a few others like this one are all you need. Deadpool is on this list as well.
A grimdark titan from some forgotten world.

Pics for scale. The Frost Giant Princess is a metal 50mm sculpt from Reaper Miniatures.
This movie is a deep dive into madness. A+ level timewaster and a psychological ride down a long, dark road. Travel at your peril.
Joaquin Phoenix has a knack for these types of parts, and creates a Joker here that's on par with Heath Ledger's portrayal. A much more disturbing villain on a personal level though. By personal. I mean that this Joker has personal vendettas that he needs to take care of before his madness sweeps the city (see the last picture).
Joker is a howling descent into the mind of a serial killer and a pathology that isn't defined in the SAGE Encyclopedia of Abnormal and Clinical Psychology. A very unique madness you might say, but one that you will sink into along with "Jack Oswald White." His real name and origin is undefined data at this point. There is only speculation. In this iteration, he is known as Arthur Fleck. |
Timewaster grade: A-
I gave it the minus for parts of the scene in his television debut on the long-running Murray Franklin Show. I felt that the writer and director toned down the character to appease marketing and sales people, making a watered down reaction at the beginning of the scene. But they make up for it - remember: "You get what you f**king deserve!"
That's all for this edition of Timewasters. But remember - always keep your head on a swivel.
