I'm looking for a good date night movie with my husband. Can you help?
Sure! Are you looking to laugh, feel some romance, or are you into thrillers?
I think I am looking for a thriller, or maybe horror. But nothing too gory. More psychological.
Would you be interested in a throwback or re-release? Or do you want something brand new?
I would prefer something new and unexpected.
Joker is very psychological and not gory. It is a call back to previous Batman movies, but it is not a remake like IT, and no a re-release like Zombieland.
I am interested in Joker, but The Lighthouse looks like it could be interesting. I get bored easily though. Which one is more exciting?
Joker is more exciting, but it also has that psychological element which can feel more cranial and possibly offers less adrenalin rushes than a horror movie.
What would be a better movie for a major thrill?
Although IT Chapter Two is a throwback, it has a lot of surprises and lots of thrills. Did you see the remake of the first IT yet?
Yes, I did.
Did you like it?
Yes I did - but it was almost too gory for me.
I don't think you'd be disappointed with Joker. Are you familiar with the Gotham universe?
Yes, I am. In fact I was a huge fan of Dark Night.
Okay, well this is really a fun new take on that universe. If you were a fan of The Dark Night I think you would really enjoy Joker. It isn't like there are no thrills, but that it is more thought provoking than a straightforward horror movie.
I think that is exactly what we are looking for. Thank you for the recommendation!
You're welcome - enjoy!
