AGAINST ALL ODDS, GWENDOLINE CHRISTIE PREVAILED

SO nice to see Game of Thrones star Gwendoline Christie looking glamorous and in charge. It’s not easy to succeed as an actress when you’re 6’3” tall and weigh 185 pounds. Few male actors are that tall. When she studied in drama school, Gwendoline was discouraged at every turn – she was told “Good luck” getting into movies. But she was inspired by Tilda Swinton, who also seemed NOT to fit the movie star mold. Gwendolyn started out playing supporting roles as gawky secretaries or “best friends.” Game of Thrones changed everything. Now she confidently wears high heels to premiers!

JOKER IS A TICKET TO DESPAIR

Looking for laughs? Wrong movie. Joker IS complicated. From the start, Gotham is a dismal and grim world – trash is piling up in the filthy streets, people are abusive to each other, and the sun never shines. There is ZERO resemblance to Batman comics. Joker is a mentally disturbed loner who makes a living dressed as a clown and lives with his equally sad mother in a bleak hole of an apartment. There seem to be no decent people of any kind in this movie so there’s no one to care about. Joaquin Phoenix skillfully wallows in depression and insanity onscreen, and Joker ends up driven to mass murder. He blames HIS problems on successful people, inspiring his motto, Kill The Rich. (Not a good message for America today) This stirs up hordes of other misfits to riot and slaughter. There is no lesson to be learned from this gruesome film – if you want to be depressed – this is the movie for you.
