oh

Same far-left people who praise Eva Perón, Che Guevara and who won’t denounce the violence of governments against populations in Venezuela and in Hong-Kong. Unbelievable! What a disgusting bunch of ill-intentioned hypocrites.

As an official spokesperson for the far left, this is the first I'm hearing of the controversy. I didn't even know this movie was out and still don't know that it's about. Maybe it's just bad so no one is talking about it.

I’m not outraged, I’m bored.

Best wishes to the incels

Literally every leftist on twitter is just posting pictures of different people in joker makeup with ironic captions. There is no outrage. This is so transparently bullshit.

Rofl I don't even know what he's talking about.

Says the guy marketing his movie on it.

What? No one cares about this movie 🙄🙄🙄

But isn't the guy playing the Joker this time kind of a liberal?

So it’s going to bomb and the director is inventing an excuse

There is no real controversy and there is no real outrage. The 'far left' is a meaningless rightwing buzzword. No one has seen this movie and he's talking out of his ass to cynically score a cheap headline.

Sis, it's the group that will actually watch the film.. like.. we lefties will watch garbage as long as it's cinematic

Yeah, what an awful person for criticizing extremism in all its forms.

And by 'Far Left' he means anybody who disagrees with putting kids in cages.

He’s confused outrage with boredom. We’re not yelling, we’re yawning.

This is a garbage tweet, and made all the worse because so many people in the replies have taken you at your word.

Yeah I mean why reflect when you deflect, right?

'Outrage is a commodity' is why he made the film, right? He's made a deliberately controversial film, and is complaining about it being controversial?

By far left I bet they mean libshits.

Don't forget Disney Disney is spending a lot of money to promote news against this movie.

the far-left is poison just like the far-right

I mean he ain’t wrong

I'd say this has killed any desire to see the film, but I never had any desire to see it in the first place.

I wasn’t going to watch it anyway. ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯

He is right.

🎯

This film is gonna crush at the box office tho

This whole Joker 'controversy' just shows you that far right or left is the exact same thing. Both groups are crazy.

There is no great far left presence in American politics. American politics has always been right wing and now the fringe right wing has become mainstream, any whiff of social concern is described as far left.

The man is clearly a buffoon.

Sjw mad about a film = great movie. Sjw praises a film = terrible movie.

He is wrong on this. I am a socialist and i always find the controversy stupid. What the fuck is he even saying ?

Phillips, please shut up.

imagine being doomed to such a small existence that you can't even see movies that contradict yours political's views

Loop

Where is the lie?

If anyone doubted the truth of Todd Phillips' statements in the interview/article - read the comments. Yes, the entire 'outrage culture', 'cancel culture', and 'sjw' cultists show that Phillips was 100% correct.

He's not wrong.

I’m a democrat. Voted democrat for ever. I can’t wait to see this movie

Can we just enjoy a movie without getting into any left/right shit?

It’s not the far left...it’s just stupid people period

Please dude, you are playing this for box office dollars. So get over yourself.

Miss leading title!

As a leftist, he's absolutely right.

Bruh. The movie is fucking rated R. Meaning only from mature audiences. If you think it’s to violet, DONT WATCH IT. DUMBASSE

camarogirlxo

No it’s Disney!

Look how insane everyone is acting on this thread ....The director is being proven right simply based on all your responses...well done sheep

Idiot. Far left is not a thing.

Isnt it republicans that love guns and blame gun violence on film and games ?

People should be worried about Mexican Joker.

Based

'Controversy = $$$$ cha ching!!

What? I haven’t seen anything from any political stance talking about this film. If Todd hasn’t notice there is other things going on right now that are more important. Whoever the “far left” is they are NOT talking about this film.

This pornography MUST be rated NC-17.

He is right. It's absurd how people are reacting to a film. Its practically censorship.

he's right

you guys should show him your earlier reporting from our far-left president blaming violence on movies and video games

Since most of you won't bother to read the article but instead go off on this clickbaity title to inform your opinions, let me just drop the full quote here. He isn't t taking the side of the 'Far Right' over the 'Far Left'. He's talking about outrage culture.

I wasn’t going to see the movie in the first place. His asinine opinion changed nothing for me.

He’s not wrong

Sounds about right.

He's 100% right.

He is 100% correct

Ok. Blame the far left for your crappy work lmao. That’s why “far left” movies are some of the biggest hits, right? Lmao My god, can ANYONE take responsibility for their own 💩 that stinks anymore? This film isn’t going to do well, he knows it, now he’s blaming others for it. Ok.

Well now I'm definitely seeing it

WB dumped Man Of Steel universe by Snyder For this press

The subject of whether media is teaching us morality or if morality is shaping our media is not a topic that only the 'far left' finds controversial. It's a genuine look at society and what makes it. You can't push that, then brush off the backlash.

The joker has been around since 1940. For 99.9999% of people, this has never caused an issue.

Not far left here - no interest in this at ALL. I don’t want to see the Joker’s origin story, thanks.

yea hes wrong on this. im a socialist and im looking forward to the movie and think the controversy surrounding it is nonsense. hes confusing what the far left is. what he means to say is 'neo liberals'.

Ain't that the truth.

Ah another white man saying everyone else is too sensitive and looking to be mad

Yeah I’m “far left” and was planning on seeing this drivel but not anymore lol maybe the far right should stick to propaganda films

It’s Right-Wing talking points and A person with mental illness (in this case the character) is dangerous. Entertainment media eg Movies, video games ..etc are responsible for white male domestic terror.

You’ve framed this in the most misleading way possible

He should've just sat there and taken the criticism and given a thoughtful statement but this comment dismisses concerns and makes it seem like the director is nothing but an arrogant ass. Fk him.

GraceRandolph

The fact that this movie has been criticized for something out of the movie itself is ridiculous

Finally some truth is being told here

Far left, far right... Everything that's far from sanity and empathy is absurd and dangerous. All extremes are bad. Trump supporters and haters can do good and bad stuff.

Everything triggers people these days jeez

rovsn mano o que esse boçal tá falando pelo amor de DEUS

Imagine getting triggered about a movie that hasnt even come out yet 💀 just sad

Do ya thing FilmClickbait

Wasn’t going to see it in the first place because this Joker looked like a rejected version of Ronald McDonald, this stupid statement...final nail in the coffin.

Look I'm a lefty and I don't have a problem with the film.

Do we really need to listen to the dude that is responsible for theHangover franchise?

Our movie, rise up

That’s not going to go down well.

Sometimes it’s just best not to say anything. He is not helping at all.

Controversy creates cash ... 💵

Joker is going to be movie of the century Joker

Can’t wait to buy a ticket to Hustlers and then just sneak into a Joker showing because there’s no way this idiot is getting my money after this boneheadedly offensive statement.

He is not wrong.

Oh, I’ll still see this...I just won’t pay to see it.

Why can’t we just enjoy a fucking story?

Aaaaand there’s the comments from people who say they won’t see it now. Do you represent the entire far left? Try to be an individual once in a while.

Not seeing it

My nigga!

& because of that statement I will not be seeing this movie, so jokes on you

PSA: Idiot journos like the ones Phillips is referring to are WHY there were shooting threats. There would not have been ANY if you people didn't spend months going HOPE NO ONE GETS SHOT AT JOKER, THAT SEEMS LIKE THE MOVIE SOMEONE WOULD GET SHOT AT.

I like this dude.

He has a point. People will see the film regardless of this 'controversy' I applaud him for calling out the outrage culture.

Ohhhhh no! Apology tour in 5,4,3 ...

Sorry but I completely disagree. Trump’s supporters are the ones committing the mass attacks and who have created this climate where people feel so unsafe. And people like me see the movie as what it is... A movie and a whole lot less threatening than our daily lives.

Well, that is one way to lose part of your audience.

this stupid. did he even read that letter?

The far left fears what the far right does during these things

Films trigger people now. Comments on Twitter trigger people now. Times have changed.

The Leftist are the ones that ruin everything duh!! WalkAway
