Bateman (604)

Brilliantly unpredictable
I'm pretty sure this is actually Outsider Art
Stunning...
Unironically a near-masterpiece
Could have been a minor masterpiece, if not for the ending
So, about that TV series, then...?
Surprised at the bad reviews
What was up with the weird colors for blood?
Good film, but...
Almost seems like two different movies stitched together

Intentionally confusing and obtuse, you say...? Well, off the top of my head:
Tracks (1976)
Synecdoche, New York (2008)
Mr. Nobody (2009)
Strange Factories (2013)
Mad Max 2 aka The Road Warrior (1981).
It's probably my absolute favorite piece of <i>fiction</i>, full stop, so it's kind of a no-brainer.
Sid and Nancy (1986).
Pretty good, even though I was never much of a Sex Pistols fan.
I've been a massive fan of video game music ever since the time of the NES, so this is one of those topics I could not only go on about forever, but also couldn't really pick a single favorite and stick with that choice for more than 5 minutes.
That said, if I were to choose one right now, I suppose I'd go with this absolute banger:
Guardian Heroes (Sega Saturn, 1996) - Rough and Ready

Too long ago for me to remember with any certainty, but I think it was Cowboy Bebop: The Movie.
I still got it, though.
I used to like them a lot back in the mid-to-late 90's. Haven't really listened to them in ages, though.
Having heard of this guy for the first time now... yeah, goes beyond simply being a dickhead; that's just straight up severe mental illness, with a generous side helping of suicidal tendencies.
He should be locked up in a padded cell, for his and everyone else's sake.
I've <i>detested</i> them with a <i>burning passion</i> from the very first time I heard them. I sighed in utter unmitigated relief the moment the mid 90s rolled on and I was thankfully spared being subjected to their so-called "music" day in and day out.
I'd die a happy man if I never had to listen to a single second of their insufferable self-important <i>whiny</i> shit ever again.
I'd probably do a loose adaptation of Bruce Timm's and Paul Dini's Mad Love, just as the first was clearly inspired by Alan Moore's and Brian Bolland's The Killing Joke.
Essentially, Harley as Arthur/Joker's Arkham-appointed therapist, well meaning but woefully unprepared, finding herself seeing things his way more and more as nothing goes right in her personal life, until she became Harley Quinn and broke him out, and they rode off into the sunset in a sort of twisted codependent "happy ending".
It'd probably turn into more of a Harley Quinn movie than a Joker one, I suppose, but then I really don't think there's much more that could be done with the character without bringing Batman into it.
Rien d'autre que c'est le nom populaire de ce phénomène, je crois; comme "schadenfreude," par example.
I actually thought that was the only clever bit of writing in this whole disaster - Joker 2, "madness of two."
