'Beneath You'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
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.
That's the point where he's probably revealed himself as a fake geek boy, unless he specified a specific run.

Yeah, didn't Gail Simone write a run that was probably pretty good?
Wait, no, I'm thinking of Secret Six.
I mean, they're probably thinking just New 52, but damn it, the Squad has HISTORY.

That was SO GOOD.

It was probably the best comic that DC put out in the 1980s.
Whoa, Tom, that was a great read, thanks!
I didn't know that's how we got Oracle!
Also...it seems like that 1980s run is basically the reason it's popular? It's...the only good run?
Well, SAUSAGE PARTY was extremely crude, but I have to admit that I laughed a lot.
Every time my son sees those Sausage Party ads I have to explain the double entendres to him.
My work friend who loved Ghostbusters (and said Holtzmann reminded her of me, so that's awesome) also said Suicide Squad was really good and made her son cry. In a good way, I inferred. So I don't know what to think.
I'm just going to see it with the attitude of enjoying a bunch of strung-together cool music video moments, as promised by the trailer. I'm not really invested in any of the characters except Waller, and every second of Viola Davis' performance that I've seen previewed looks to be spot-on for her. And if the Joker turns out to be annoying and pointless, well, I knew going in that it was Jared Leto playing him.
