Saw Joker. Definitely feel it's an over-hyped movie. Yeah, Phoenix is fantastic, the cinematography is great, and the sharp jabs the film wants you to feel land their mark mostly. But it's definitely not as deep and powerful as many are claiming, and doesn't really have much to say besides that beaten down people with mental illnesses will eventually snap or kill themselves which, yeah, no duh. Also feels like it diminishes the scheming intellect and raw danger the Joker have. Arthur doesn't feel like the Clown Prince of crime, just a damaged loner with a gun.

Decided to splurge on the board games Instanbul, Arboretum, and Azul, since Amazon had some price slashes on them recently.
