Yay! I am actually happy to have an excuse to skip Suicide Squad. Sounds like whoever is on top has no idea how to make this franchise thing work. The only thing I'm concerned about is the Wonder Woman movie, which I really, really want not to suck for obvious reasons.
Lydia: Its removal from Burma is a felony and when triggered it has the power to melt human eyeballs.
Giles: In that case I've severely underpriced it.

As I said elsewhere, Wonder Woman managed to be awesome even when surrounded by a glowering silent Superman, murderous xenophobic Batman, Lex Luthor doing a Jim Carrey impression and a cave troll stolen from Fellowship of the Ring. In the hands of a competent director I feel good about her movie's chances.

Some butthurt DC fanboys have mounted a petition to shut down Rotten Tomatoes for the bad reviews of Suicide Squad: [link]
I've been giggling over this for solid 10 minutes now. Do they even know how RT works?

Oh, well, if they have a PETITION...

Thrive to spite them
I talked to one person who saw Suicide Squad and said it wasn't that bad. Of course he said the comic book wasn't that great either so he figured it was on par with that.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I am dying to see that, Lisah! Love me some Birbigs.

Me too! Everybody is great in it but Gillian Jacobs is especially amazing.
I finally saw Ghostbusters today, too, and was amused. It definitely is wayyyy better than the original!

It wasn't. The Internet is enjoying its hyperbole but Christ have they never seen an actual bad movie before.

That's the point where he's probably revealed himself as a fake geek boy, unless he specified a specific run.
