If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Margot Robbie's manic glee was such fun to watch!

Her face when she's hiding in the evidence room and realizes the air is full of cocaine.

Also, seeing a bunch of women's names in the credits was pretty great

I enjoyed that - women in front of and behind the cameras.

I did wonder what ita would have thought about the fight scenes - they looked good to me, but it's not something I have any expertise in. On the - literally - bright side, they were done with enough lighting you could see what was going on.

Thrive to spite them

I read an article about the movie and the fight scenes and the director was heavily influenced by Jackie Chan and the movie The Raid but she also has a background in dance which she drew on for the fight scenes

I've been watching the Youtube channel The Corridor Crew and they have VFX Artists react to good and bad FX and Stuntmen React to Good and Bad stunts and they love Jackie Chan , obviously, but they've featured The Raid fight scenes as examples of really good fight scenes (well lit, well choreographed and well shot) so the director really paid attention to making good fight scenes. I'm looking forward to the Corrirdor Crew reacting to the fight scenes in Birds of Prey.

They've had one of the stunt guys from the Marvel movies (and a bunch of other stuff) on a few times and he is great to listen talking about the mechanics of the fight scenes.

Such a pleasure to have the fight scenes be coherent!

Hey. New board.

I am halfway through La La Land. I really love musicals and yet meeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhh.

Hey. New board.

The ending was really good, but as far as odes to old movie musicals I'd honestly watch Once More With Feeling again instead.
