Look, they can just gin up some DC equivalent like they do all the time. "Portable Paste Pat". Boom - done.

this is far from all of them, however.

unrelated, but "Captain Marvel" (DC) vs "Captain Marvel" (Marvel) is still funny

My favorite is when DC created Elongated Man to rip off Plastic Man. It was only later that they realized that they already owned Plastic Man and could have just used him.

It's the 21st century. It's past time for Mucilage Marge.

"Glitter bomb!"

I feel like you people are making fun of my valid belief that a guy who can efficiently and quickly glue things together would make for a compelling character study.

Look, you're not seeing the big picture. Let DC show, through Glue Guy Gabe or Portable Paste Pat, that there's a *massive* market for live action glue-based superhero films, and you'll have a massive bidding war for your Paste Pot Pete script.

I’m setting something up now. Anyone know which is better, moveon.org or change.org?

I watched Joker recently. I certainly liked it and Joaquin was great but I also came away thinking I would probably not want to watch it again.

I felt like someone wanted to remake Taxi Driver but didn't have the same skill level the entire time I watched it.

I think it's the lack of a common first letter that would throw hepcat off.
Like if it was Glue Guy Gabe or Glue Goblin Gus I think he'd go for it.

Glue Gun Gus. Bam. I'll pick up my check from accounting on the way out.

I still think

"Aargh," he ejaculates

might be some of my finest writing.

Yes I remember many comparisons to Taxi Driver when it came out. (Sheepish look...) I have never seen Taxi Driver. I really need to remedy that...

Awesome. That looked great to me.

Holy crap,

Spoiler:

That's one thing I never thought I'd see in live action.

I don’t know who any of those characters are (only one I recognized was Harley Quinn, but it looked fun and the cast was great. I typically skip DC movies, but will definitely catch that one.

Blackhawk · Post by **Blackhawk** » Fri Mar 26, 2021 9:22 pm

That's to be expected. I read DC a fair amount, and I only 'know' a few (Polka Dot Man, Cpt. Boomerang, Thinker, King Shark, Mongal. Ratcatcher, but only barely.) I know who the rest are, but mostly only from the marketing for the film. It's the same thing he did with Guardians of the Galaxy by going with completely obscure, unknown characters.

Quite a few beyond Harley are carryovers from the 2016 version of Suicide Squad.

I must have blocked them all out then. Easy to do, as the original is easily one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

New trailer came out yesterday (no joke)

It's not all new shots, but there's some additional stuff to see...

Sudy · Post by **Sudy** » Fri Apr 02, 2021 12:53 pm

I haven't seen the original (which I presume may be the ideal situation), but this looks like a lot of fun. It looks like it might be a re-skin of Guardians of the Galaxy mashed up with Deadpool, but I don't have a problem with that.

Who? Besides Capt Boomerang and Harley, I don't think any of the other squad members from the first one are present. (Not counting Amanda Waller and Rick Flag since they aren't actually part of the squad.)

Blackhawk · Post by **Blackhawk** » Fri Apr 02, 2021 8:16 pm

That's pretty much it, and that's consistent with the comics. There are a few regular characters, but a huge number rotate in and out.

JCC · Post by **JCC** » Fri Apr 02, 2021 8:42 pm

I thought the first movie was OK and this one has Peter Capaldi and this one is on HBO Max so... in.

hepcat · Post by **hepcat** » Sat Jul 31, 2021 9:17 am

Early reviews are overwhelmingly positive…so far. But I have no reason to doubt Gunn has hit yet another home run. He loves the subjects of his films and the sincerity shows through in everything he does. Guillermo del Toro is also like that. I always enjoy their work because of that sincerity.

JCC · Post by **JCC** » Thu Aug 05, 2021 10:03 pm

So I watched in on HBO Max. Given how shitty HBO Max (the app) is, I was suprised there were no buffering or other issues watching it.

I thought it was fantastic. By far the best movie with Harley Quinn in it (and she is awesome). Pretty much all of the Squad are great. I was pleasantly surprised at how prominent a role Peter Capaldi had in it. Your mileage may vary but I would say this is my favorite DC movie since The Dark Knight. (The Dark Knight Rises has aged a bit poorly for me. #BaneSucks) Some people may prefer Wonder Woman which is a more earnest superhero movie - and fine with me if they do as it was great. (WW 1984 was utter trash.)

Anyway, I expected this to be great and it exceeded my expecations. Highly recommended.

Same. And I'm really looking forward to the Peacemaker tv show now.

It was decent.

Is this a movie I can watch without seeing the first one? I started the first movie a while back and even though I can be forgiving of a good action flick I kind of lost interest.

I haven't seen it yet, but I can promise you an absolute 'yes.' It's a soft reboot at best.

JCC · Post by **JCC** » Fri Aug 06, 2021 11:12 am

Yeah there are 2 characters (one of which I didn't remember at all) from the first movie in here but you won't miss anything by skipping the first one (except viewing a medicore movie).

Blackhawk · Post by **Blackhawk** » Fri Aug 06, 2021 11:15 am

You'd miss the most awkward evil snake dance in movie history.

I think verbal would be more useful. And more fun at parties.
