There's Always a Joker...

We're All Clowns!

By pure chance I heard an song sung by Anthony Newley on the radio this morning, called ‘There’s Always a Joker’ (from 1965 movie soundtrack of 'The Roar of the Greasepaint). Listening to the lyrics got me thinking about the upcoming movie starring Joaquim Phoenix, ‘Joker’, which I hope to post a review of, as soon as it opens here in the UK.

Loren Coleman just posted on his blog, ‘Twilight Language’, about the possibility of the ‘Copycat Effect’ being activated on opening weekend of the film in the US (or elsewhere). Strangely, or rather, predictably, Joker symbolism is now all over the place and slowly permeating the imagination of the population.

I’m seeing correlations appearing in the recent entertainment news with up-coming movies showing a distinct synchronistic flavour. Just a small selection below...

I think Loren Coleman is a clown by putting ideas and dates into the unstable minds of his gun-toting readers.
At least they can rest assured that Loren will give them their five minutes of fame on his blog when they prove Loren right:-)
