Better than the dreadful Genisys, but still not much of a hit

Joker Update: I had expressed reservations about this movie providing sympathy for the devil and possibly vaguely encouraging vengeance-violence. But footage from the movie was leaked, and according to Ethan Van Sciver (who saw it before Warner Bros. stamped it out), the movie is brutal and ugly and does not seem to suggest that Joker is anything other than a nasty villain. I didn't see the footage, so I can't say either way.

Rumors: Disney very worried that Star Wars IX will destroy the franchise (or fail to save it from the destroyed state The Last Jedi left it in); rumors say further that because of these worries, the film is undergoing extensive reshoots and has multiple possible endings, details of which are being leaked to the internet to gauge fan reactions to see what the public wants this time
Supposedly six possible outcomes for the movie
From "subverting expectations" to asking fans, "please tell us your expectations; we'll film that!"

"After Trump’s stunning victory, the media signaled that it would finally awake from a nearly decade-long snooze to hold the sitting president accountable for his words and actions. They view themselves not as arbiters in an uncertain political age but as crusaders against a president they consider dangerous who was elected over their collective objection."

Flashback: Russia says John Brennan visited Russia in 2016 for undisclosed purposes

High-ranking Russian officials claim that CIA Director John Brennan visited Moscow on March 14 to meet with Russia’s federal intelligence agency. A CIA spokesman allegedly clarified that the meeting had nothing to do with Russia’s withdrawal from Syria.
"It's no secret that Brennan was here," claimed Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Oleg Syromolotov. "But he didn't visit the Foreign Ministry. I know for sure that he met with the Federal Security Service (the successor agency to the Soviet KGB), and someone else."

Thanks to JackStraw for the reminder. Is this about the spy they later had to extract? If so, maybe a meeting with the head of the CIA drew some suspicions...

More Doubt on the "Super-Sekret Russian Spy" story from Streiff: If he was such a huge fish and in such danger of murder by the Russians, why was he living not terribly far from DC under his own name, with property records under that name?

The "Squad Goals" are always to make the previously unthinkable very thinkable, from socialism to totalitarianism to overt hatred of Jews. And the man who honeymooned in Soviet Russia and joyfully sang Soviet communist propaganda songs is there to help.

Correction: The Dark Knight shooter guy did not dress like the Joker, say he was the Joker, or claim he was committing murder to be like the Joker.
A commenter or two told me that I was wrong, and I just got around to refreshing my recollection today. They were right. Apparently, the "Joker" claim came from those always-wrong "early reports," and it was just such Money-Making Clickbait for the Media -- and that's all this priesthood of warrior-firefighters cares about -- that the media kept on repeating it until most people thought this clickbait fiction was reality.
