Early voting was a breeze.



Cornucopia.



Orange Empire State Building for Halloween? Actually, it was Orange In celebration of Diwali. Weird vibes in the Union Square area after seeing Joker. There must have been countless costume parties last night. So many people walking about in costume.



The New Yorker's Richard Brody said: “Joker” is a viewing experience of a rare, numbing emptiness.

I didn't like the movie but it did make me think. Maybe it is successful because people project something that a "by the numbers" plotted movie misses. Prisoners saw the essence of prison life in Waiting for Godot.

Joaquin Phoenix is incredible in this movie.

Although Joker is an Unreliable narrator, his first origin story was as Red Hood: a criminal who, during his final heist, vanishes after leaping into a vat of chemicals to escape Batman. His resulting disfigurement led him to adopt the name "Joker", from the playing card figure he came to resemble.
