Hola Dannie aqui,

Today brought us more news on the Joaquin Phoenix "JOKER" film. Actress Frances Conroy is said to be negotiating the role of Penny, the Jokers Mother. Frances Conroy is a talented actress with a haunting subtlety that can be quite disturbing. Conroy is known for her roles in "Six Feet Under," "American Horror Story," "The Mist," "The Wickerman," "The Aviator," and "Scent of a Woman" to name just a few of her roles.

When it comes to the Jokers past there's a lot left unclear; he is after all very untrustworthy. It has been said that he witnessed his mother being brutally killed by his father, it is also rumored that he was raised by a cruel Aunt. They also have stated that aspects of the film are inspired by Alan Moores Killing Joke which is one of the best comics of all time. I am hoping for a combination of Moores writing and the old school Red Hood comic. The fact that Zazie Beetz is set to play a single mother love interest has me convinced she and her child will be doomed to a torturous end that is yet another push off the cliff and into insanity for Jack Napier aka the Joker.

Well, folks I was ready to fucking see this film, months ago, and now with the casting news coming out, I am drooling over the dream cast that is being assembled. The idea that Robert De Niro will be joining the cast and they are focusing on a character-driven crime film has warmed my little cold heart and has me truly delighted. Could DC be learning? I think they are, I mean if this film turns out to be a shit show I will literally be shocked because so far I agree with every decision and announcement made public. What do all of you out there in Geeklandia think?

Stay Strong, Live Good, Love Movies!

Dannie aka Pekosa Peligrosa
