    I called it based on only ever hearing the title. You have to have made a ton of bad choices to wind up at a place where that title seems like a good idea

      Given the context of Harley and Joker’s relationship, it’s actually an incredibly appropriate title. People just didn’t follow entertainment news so they had no idea it was a jukebox musical.

        No, its pretentious and not understandable to a huge percent of people. Exactly how the movie is according to all reviews. It doesn’t matter if the technical meaning of the phrase is applicable or not. It’s an obviously bad title for a mass market movie. For an art film showing at indie theaters it would be ok, but for a mass market film it’s a horrible title that screams “this movie is cringe!”

          I mean, the first one felt like an art film. Sure, it uses the Batman IP, but when I watched it I didn’t get the feeling that it was expected to have mass market appeal.
