That's one musical that will always be near and dear to my heart. I think it's a Pavlovian response at this point!
I do like some of the older "musicals" like the ones with Gene Kelly in them, but that's mostly because I enjoy the dancing.

My mother loved Evita. I had zero interest in it. She saw it a few times and went on and on about it!
I never could get into musicals, but in retrospect, there are movies that I've enjoyed that seem to be somewhat music-based. Like Singing in the Rain.
But I think a lot of my enjoyment of these movies has more to do with my love of dance.

Maybe it was for an older crowd when it came out? Although I don’t remember anyone who was interested in Evita. I honestly tried because of the cast but just couldn’t.
I grew up watching musicals of old because my mother was a great deal older when I was born and she loved musicals. Musicals and Doris Day.

I'm not really a fan of the girl-boss take that a lot of comic book movies over the last ten years or so have taken but if they manage to get Harley as a perfect counterweight to Mista' Jay and as dangerous in her own right I think that would be a good nod for women and girls who want to write a proper baddie with a proper womanly aspect to them and I'm hoping this might be the movie that pulls that off.
It's happened before in non-comic book films but they really seemed to not be able to hire any brains on that type of movie since The Dark Knight

Don't get me started on the whole girl-boss take. Like Captain America, it's just a recipe for disaster. I lost all of my interest once they started pushing that narrative and agenda.

Yup, that's much more up my street with how Batman would deal with Joaquin Phoenix's Joker
I suppose they could still just scratch anything they've done at any point have have the entire thing be some sort of an idling thought he's had while drugged out and unconscious with him waking up being a completely new and unknown person during his next awakened state. Something which is always in a state of flux and never ever again this Arthur Fleck person again.
Just one of an infinite possible personalities underneath whoever he is when he's on top
