While watching Leto's portrayal of the The Joker, I kept hearing "You dirty rat, you" and "Top of the world, Ma!" every time he spoke.

Now explained, after the film, in an interview. This is, admittedly, a poor time to make the film bits make sense.

Hint: Friendship is Magic.

I think that the Batman solo movie is going to do that for Robin anyway. It is supposedly based off of Under the Red Hood, which would give us one of the darker Robin stories.

I thought it was a way to allude that Deckard is replicant and that this a is known secret.

Billboard

Twenty One Pilots earn historic coronations on two Billboard radio airplay charts (dated Sept. 10), becoming the first act to top the tallies simultaneously with different songs. "Ride" rides 2-1 on Pop Songs and "Heathens" jumps 3-1 on Alternative Songs.
...
While Twenty One Pilots are the first act to top Pop Songs and Alternative Songs simultaneously with a pair of tracks, they're the sixth to lead the Nielsen Music-based lists at the same time (the prior five having done so with the same song on both charts).
...
Here is the list of artists who have enjoyed concurrent No. 1s on Pop Songs and Alternative Songs (and their total weeks leading the charts at the same time):

2005: "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" (four)

Sugar Ray
1999: "Every Morning" (two)

Extended Cut

So, it's official. Warner Bros. is releasing an Extended Cut of Suicide Squad, that controversial (but incredibly successful) supervillain blockbuster. To be released in December (just in time for Christmas), the Extended Cut will give us an additional 13 minutes of footage!

But given the behind-the-scenes editing drama surrounding the film, and Warner Brothers's insistence that an extended cut wouldn't be released, the very existence of this Extended Cut raises some truly tantalizing questions.

LordMortis · Post by **LordMortis** » Thu Oct 06, 2016 1:47 pm

The radio this morning said it was pretty much all Harley Quinn footage.

Honest Trailers - Suicide Squad

Combustible Lemur · Post by **Combustible Lemur** » Wed Dec 14, 2016 1:25 am

Just watched it. This movie was awful. That is all.

Blackhawk · Post by **Blackhawk** » Wed Dec 14, 2016 1:30 am

Luckily for you, they just confirmed today that they are starting work on Suicide Squad 2, that Harley will be getting a spin-off film (Gotham City Sirens, which in comic book form is Harley, Catwoman, and Ivy), and Deadshot may be as well.

tru1cy · Post by **tru1cy** » Wed Dec 14, 2016 6:58 am

Harley Quinn, The Joker and Deadshot in my opinion were the best part of the Suicide Squad, so I'm not surprised they are doing Gotham City Sirens. Here's hoping they explore Ivy and Harley's relationship.

Combustible Lemur · Post by **Combustible Lemur** » Wed Dec 14, 2016 10:33 am

they're welcome to do what they like. I just can't beleive I just sat through a movie that was 99% exposition. I feel like Ayers was treating his audience as if their combined iq was 12.
And I've at least appreciated his other movie credits, but I feel like either I wouldn't have enjoyed these comics or he doesn't understand how to write comic book movies.
The honest trailer is brutal but true.

I thought the Joker was one of the worst parts of the movie. Both the acting was off and the scenes were just filler to have him in there. Harley Quinn and Deadshot, however, I agree with.

DD*, meh is too kind. No idea how you made it out alive after the extended version.

If DC messes up Wonder Woman there IS going to be a problem. Please editing crew, please save the film if it's even close to this sorry attempt.

hepcat · Post by **hepcat** » Thu Jan 19, 2017 8:10 am

I read an article recently that said Wonder Woman suffers from the same problems as Dawn of Justice. Supposedly it was reported by the same individual who released early negative reviews of that film. Hopefully they're wrong.

They need to wrest the franchise away from Snyder. I can only imagine he has compromising photos of some DC or Time Warner exec, as their loyalty to the guy is just inexplicable to me otherwise.

The sad reality is that as long as a film makes money, it's a "Success" for the studio. A success is to be duplicated.

Executive Brain Process...
Suicide Squad:
Production Budget: $175,000,000
Worldwide Earnings to Date: $745,600,054
Return on Investment: 426%
Conclusion: Success!
Action: Make 3 more just like it!

This video is a bit long but it goes over that technical and artistic flaws in Suicide Squad and explains why it was truly a terrible film. Its actually quite good and informative:

Paingod · Post by **Paingod** » Thu Jan 19, 2017 8:54 am

I bumped into that video a few days back and watched it through. I thought it was a pretty light show, and overall not a great movie - but I didn't realize how much was technically wrong with it. I suppose I'm happier not being a high-level cinema buff and just being one of the consumers.

coopasonic · Post by **coopasonic** » Thu Jan 19, 2017 10:04 am

YellowKing · Post by **YellowKing** » Thu Jan 19, 2017 10:15 am

I watched it last weekend. Meh.

Way too many characters. Harley Quinn didn't live up to the hype (was it just me, or did her accent fluctuate wildly?)

Hated, hated, hated how they felt like they had to shoehorn a popular song into nearly every scene. It felt like such a transparent Guardians of the Galaxy rip-off, just not done nearly as well.

I didn't claw my eyes out from boredom, but as a huge DC fan I felt let down once again by their inability to make a coherent movie.

I liked it, I liked it more than a lot of movies I have seen this year. I know some people didn't like it and it's fine but the in depth analysis as to why everyone should hate it and it's crap is a tad mind numbing atm.

It's like how could you like it it's shite, here are a few links as to why it's shit so there.

Sort of like the season 4 finale for Sherlock, Eh?

DD* · Post by DD* » Thu Jan 19, 2017 11:57 am

I will say that it is one of the better movies about walking that I've seen. Hard subject to film, "walking." SS captures the experience of walking pretty well. Oh, look, the "heroes" are walking down a street. And here they are walking with soldiers down another street. Here they are walking across a lobby. And more walking.

Good walking movie.

I like walking. I walk all of the time. This movie though was full of actors acting like walkers. Real walkers can tell the difference.

I watched this last week as well and decided it was probably one of those movies where you really need to be into the comics to enjoy. And that is just a bad decision by the director/producer/writers -- the more you pander to the small group of people familiar with the material, the more you lose the broader audience.

Blackhawk · Post by **Blackhawk** » Thu Jan 19, 2017 12:42 pm

I liked the film. I could see flaws, but I had fun with it. Now, if someone has to explain to me why I shouldn't like a film that I liked, something is very wrong. I watch films. I don't analyze them with a checklist. In fact, I feel bad for people who analyze films with a checklist. They must live joyless lives.

For the most part, they already have. They just couldn't do as much about the ones that he'd already sunk his claws into (and I believe that WW is the last of those.)

KKBlue · Post by **KKBlue** » Thu Jan 19, 2017 7:16 pm

hep... my fingers are in my ears - la-la-la-la, I am not listening to you. Well, guess they would have to be in my eyes since I'm reading but a tad more painful. Totally agree Paingod, sigh.

rshetts2, can't even bring myself to click on the link because I don't want to watch the walking documentary despite Harley Q having a nice but and 15 accents (DD* & Yellow).

If I was logged into OO during the morning, I would have had about 20+ to my count from all of the "right on!" and "Exactly" and "I KNOW!!!" comment agreements.

I like comic book characters turned into movies. I'm a fan of superheroes. Really wanted to like this movie Blackhawk despite the rotten tomatoes. Unbelievably disappointed. Almost walked away with 20 minutes to go. I could not follow or hold my interest for any aspect of the movie.

Movies are subjective, like all forms of art and entertainment and different people like different things. I've liked a lot of stuff other people thought was garbage. If you liked the movie, great. Im not trying to rain on your parade. I just felt the video would be interesting to some people here.
For me the video was interesting because while I watched the movie and was entertained a bit, the movie just felt off to me, like something was misfiring. I am not a movie artiste or anything so the video showed me why the movie felt off from a professional point of view. Now if you liked the movie, this video is probably not for you.

Snyder is taking all the heat but studio executives making bad decisions are just as much to blame as anyone. They reshuffled the deck after Bat Vs Sup and S. squad to put comic book folks in charge. Time will tell if it helps but I've already noticed signs of it. Afflek has told them to F off on the time line for his Batman solo movie and will walk if they push him. They seem to be giving him as much time as he wants to "make it right".

On SS... I feel asleep. Didn't mean or want to but started it late and it just wasn't grabbing me. It felt like a really long movie trailer and a bad Guardians of the Galaxy ripoff on style. I made it about 45 mins in. I have heard that the extended cut, much like B vs S extended makes it a much better film. I'll give that a try at some point.

I'm actually a little annoyed the 4K disc of Suicide Squad is the theatrical version only.

stessier · Post by **stessier** » Mon Apr 03, 2017 9:08 am

I got the Blu-ray for my birthday and watched the Extended Cut over the weekend. I never so the theatrical version, so I'm not sure what the difference is, but I don't think this was very good. Harley Quinn and Deadshot were the most developed characters but the only reason I cared about them at all was because they were acted the best. The plot was paper thin and the stakes were meaningless. A real shame as the potential for something so much better seemed to be there for most of the movie.

Watched this on the flight home today. I now have a new low bar for superhero movies.

Outside of Robbie (who may be the most beautiful woman on the planet), that movie was just awful.

LordMortis · Post by **LordMortis** » Fri Jun 30, 2017 8:50 am

Saw it not too long ago. I didn't hate it. It was what it was. With no expectations going in, I guess I wasn't disappointed coming out. Same for BvS which I rented at the same time, and for Logan which I just rented last week. My expectations would be different if I were paying for and expecting a cinema experience, I think. For a rental, something to occupy my brain before going to bed at night, these stories are fine enough to not get distracted and turn off.

The only movie I felt was horrible recently was Passengers. What's the worst was that the previews telegraphed how much I would I dislike it but I was all "interstellar travel movie about loneliness with action stars? Sure, go ahead and deal me in." Terrible. Even worse than what was telegraphed.

You have got to watch Green Lantern. Oh, and any of the Schumacher Batman films. They make Suicide Squad look like friggin' Citizen Kane in comparison.

I really wanted to like Suicide Squad, but I couldn't get over the flaws. I thought BvS was okay, but only saw it in the theater. I liked Passengers except for the dramatic conclusion - that was really dumb. But I thought Pratt and Lawrence had good chemistry (okay - I love Lawrence and have a man crush on Pratt, so that may have influenced it).
