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.

I saw it, and had a decent amount of fun. It turned out to be a lot more coherent and enjoyable than reviews had led me to believe. And while Heath Leger's legacy is in no danger of being eclipsed, the Joker wasn't awful and didn't ruin the movie (putting Leto one up on Jesse Eisenberg).

My biggest problems were that Amanda Waller was depicted as having terrible judgment and engaging in murderous CYOA antics rather than just being ruthlessly pragmatic (no knock against Viola Davis' performance though, she did a great job with terrible writing for her character), and Rick Flagg really was wussified to an unbelievable degree. So, writing continues to be a weak point for the DCU, but performances and cinematography were great.

We saw Don't Think Twice last night. The cast is really good, and it's gotten good reviews, and I think if you like that type of film, you'll really like it. (As it turns out, that type of film isn't really my cup of tea, but I did like the cast a lot.)

It's really an odd film. Not nearly as "funny" as I thought it would be and lots of "real talk" that I found interesting but, while I thought it was very good, I can't say I loved it.

I think I have exactly the wrong amount of exposure to the improv scene to love Don't Think Twice. Like, I'm not steeped in it to the point where the movie feels like it was made for me, but I'm familiar enough that the movie didn't show me much that was new. I did think the performances were great, though.

I'm not super fond of the "real talk"/almost-could-be-a-documentary-but-isn't type of film, though I'm sure I've seen some that I really enjoyed. I guess there has to be something that really endears me to the characters, and there wasn't in Don't Think Twice, though, again, I still thought the performances were quite good. And Gillian Jacobs has big anime eyes.

We saw it because the improv group that the teacher of my improv class belongs to was doing an improv jam before the film and a bunch of people from my class were going.

And that is the story of how I ended up in front of a theater (which was not very full, thankfully) in a skit about what tea Mr. T likes best -- Earl Grey, chai tea, yerba mate, or sweet tea. (Earl Grey.) (And I tried to set up a "pity the fool" joke TWICE and no one bit. I am disappoint.)

Actually, by "real talk" I meant the adultness of it all--moving on, changing relationships, dealing with success (or failure). I just didn't realize there would be so much of that in the movie. Food for thought, but not what I expected going in.
