Is Joker a “Dangerous” Movie? Phoenix & Director Respond to Critics

In the statement - which you can read in its entirety below - Warners acknowledges that art is designed to "provoke difficult conversations around complex issues," but insists that Joker is not intended to glorify the character. IGN spoke to actor Joaquin Phoenix and director Todd Phillips last week, who defended their film in response to the controversy.

Sony’s Third State of Play Was…Fine (But The Last of Us Part Two Looks Amazing)

Sony’s third State of Play was an aggressively fine showcase for its upcoming line-up, orchestrated as a reminder that there are still games coming out exclusively for the console in the remainder of 2019 and early 2020.

It started off strong. The opening trailer was Humanity, a new video game from Enhance (Rez Infinite, Tetris Effect) and Tokyo-based design studio Tha.Ltd, and a highlight of this State of Play. It initially looked like you manipulate masses of people in a variety of cute ways, but the fact it quickly descended into violence was surprising, in a good way. After all, if you’re going to name your video game Humanity, I expect some sort of commentary about our collective terribleness when it comes to the way we treat each other.
