I can’t believe we’re getting an R-rated Joker movie with some of the coolest cinematography I’ve seen all year. My hopes are high for this one!

The laugh is eerily and amazingly like Hamill’s but also totally its own thing, but 100% Joker either way and I genuinely get chills listening to it.

Mark my words, this movie is gonna be something special… I can just feel it. Phoenix is one of the greatest actors of our generation, he’s gonna blow us all away.
