A total letdown ... a hybrid film bordering between Taxi Driver and the Purge film trilogy

Rating: 3/10 (26 January 2020)

Ugghhh how could I be so wrong in my assessment of Joker when the majority of film goers and film reviewers have rated this abhorrent film an average of 8.6 on IMDB? What have I missed seeing? How can over 600 thousand film goers have liked this film and the film receive 11 Oscar nominations when both Mrs. Shullivan and I just hated it and considered it as much a waste of time as we did with the 1977 acclaimed film Eraserhead?
Joaquin Phoenix being nominated for a best actor Oscar? You have got to be kidding me? Maybe he should have been awarded a medal from Weight Watchers for shedding 52 pounds for his pathetic role as the brooding and mentally disturbed Arthur Fleck aka Joker. But an Oscar nomination?
We chose to next watch the 2019 film Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood which was nominated for ten (10) Oscars this year and it is competing with Joker's eleven (11) nominations. I will be shocked if Joker wins any Oscars and even more shocked and disappointed if Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood does not win against Joker in any of their competing categories.
Let's see if my rating of 3/10 holds true on Oscar night and if Joker gets shut out as I would anticipate it would.
