Director of the movie Joker revealed an astounding source of inspiration for the movie. He said that he heard Radiohead’s song Creep for the first time recently on the radio and was so moved that he decided to base some of the character’s motivations on it. I seriously cannot imagine an adult male in America hearing Creep for the first time on the doorstep of 50 years old. Like where was he living that he had never heard the song before? Also it is so much more insane to me to be CURRENTLY listening to the radio but seemingly didn’t turn it on or even was in a car that had a radio or hotel lobby or something where you had heard the song before. Did he run to all his friends and tell them he found the coolest new song, and they were all like “yeah we know man”. Apparently he wanted to include it in the movie as well but the execs tried to politely explain to him that everyone else had heard the song 1,000 times and would it would be closer to cringey than edgy to include it in the movie. The song is the same age as me; I find it extremely funny to picture a rich guy going through a mid life crisis and “discovering” one of the most referenced songs ever and being excited to use it for his killer clown movie, only to realize it isn’t quite as Indie as the Indie radio station’s moniker would suggest.

In unrelated news Meghan Trainor revealed that she built her house with two toilets directly next to each other in her new house for her and her husband. This is exactly what I mean when I say having too much money makes you crazy.
