Despite being critically panned and almost universally hated, Joker: Folie à Deux gained a powerful ally this week. John Waters continued his annual tradition of sharing his top films of the year with Vulture and placed the muddy musical sequel at #6. The Pope of Trash described the film as “Jailhouse Rock meets Busby Berkeley with a 9/11 That’s Entertainment!” ending” and a “relatable” love story. While one of the film’s own actors hated the movie, Waters lambasted such “stupid critics,” saying “Gaga so good. Joker so right. Die, dumbbells die!”
Speaking of trash, six-time Oscar nominee Amy Adams isn’t afraid to get a little dirty. Adams told Entertainment Weekly that she had no problem portraying Nightbitch’s mother who thinks she’s becoming a dog, crediting her “high threshold for embarrassment” — even in the face of people describing the concept as a 30 Rock episode come to life. Adams added that he she’s “definitely done things that have made people stop and look twice,” which not only made filming Nightbitch easy but “absolutely cathartic.” Her canine metamorphosis earned her the Tribute Performer Award when the film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival earlier this year.
If you’re worried about trash on the timeline, fear not because it’s coming up gold. The funniest tweets of the day include those about a questionable time-off request, a North Atlantic cake and the bewitching power of lesbians.
