The Suicide Squad Film Follies

has spencers ever had a good design in their store, for anything, ever?

Hendrix blacklight posters iirc

originally ddn't click that link because i assumed it was just a joke about how this movie looks like the cinematic approximation of spencers

now we can officially confirm the target demo is time traveling teen goths from 2001

I'm amused Deadshot made it in there. Disappointed there's no Capt Boomerang or Waller, tho

clicked bcz of kingfish. That shirt is such a horrendous mishmash of clashing Fraga lines and incoherent design it would be impossible to tell what it was depicting more than a foot away.

remember the elegant clarity of the covers for Deadshot's SS-era mini? cranked out by some inhouse schlub. people presumably got commissioned to design these things.

these clothing items, I mean.

Akinnuoye-Agbaje told PEOPLE at the event that Leto's antics helped the rest of the cast form a tighter bond. "What was great was it really created the atmosphere of us against them, and it united us against them because we had a common enemy, which was now the Joker," he said.

"If I tell you some of the stuff he sent me, you'd be like, 'What is in this guys mind?' " he added of Leto's special gifts. "I got used condoms, I got all kinds of stuff and I was like, this is no longer a joke, this is personal."

I've got to give him credit for trying to live up to the comedic tweets painting how "edgy" he was on the set

seriously i was giving anonymous people shit before for falling for them but they were pretty accurate in the end

used condoms! put him in jail forever. real life jail

Can't remember where we discussed Harley Quinn's new design, it's about 5 years old now. Did it come from a Batman videogame? Maybe this is a crazy idea but I can't help but suspect they changed it to make her easier to cosplay as.

used... condoms? ffs

dear boy, why not try acting?

I dunno, the 'new design' is basically just "1) It isn't the one-piece from the animated show 2) It is still in black and red 3) Other than that, go nuts". But this doesn't even hit #2: all of the shots I've seen of Margot Robbie are in red white and blue.

i mean i think the real answer as to why they changed the design is 'tits', pure and simple

More 'skin', I'd say - image google Harley Quinn costume and see how it was drawn when not on the animated series, 'tits' is not not a factor there.

Also yeah people will cosplay as anything, but they'll cosplay more as something they can also wear out.

wonder how dude reconciles his veganism with mailing a pig's head, maybe he just tells his assistant to do it so he keeps his hands clean.

c'mon, are you telling me 'tits' is not a motivating factor in this redesign?

I'm saying, it doesn't make a lot of sense to describe that as a redesign - Harley didn't look like that in the actual comic, or in the games since or before, or in the Connor / Palmiotti comic. 'more skin' is the common factor in all those depictions (though obviously anything is more skin than the original).

i don't think i'm following you here - harley quinn had a 38-issue solo series where she wore the animated series-derived costume then (iirc) the new 52 suicide squad series gave her the tits-centric makeover

Didn't that new design originally come from some Batman video game?

Anyway, Andrew's point was that the old comic book Harley's Quinn's skintight costume, like most superheroine costumes, emphasized her tits well enough. The new costume shows more skin, but the shape of the boobs was already draw in detail in the old costume too, as the cover you posted shows.

Yeah, my bad, the 'actual comic' I meant there was New Suicide Squad, which the "tits falling out" cover is not representative of iirc (not that NSS was a bold step forward or anything). But it's one cover in one comic in a vast range of stuff which is basically "Harley's not wearing the one-piece any more" so I'm not sure it makes sense as a "this is what the redesign was about".

NB I am really really not defending basically anything here except maybe the Connor / Palmiotti, one-piece 4 lyfe.

ahh, okay - sorry, i totally got the wrong end of the stick there

tits/no tits whatever. jester hat or gtfo.

true

she's always been drawn as cheesecake tho

yeah geez protecting the honour of harley by referencing her comic book past is kinda eyebrow raise imo.

Yes, my main point in this thread is that the old design was a model of propriety.

Wtf at 'used condoms'
Thats a joke right

I fuckin hope so

so crazy, man

Dunno. Jared Leto has always seemed a little off to me.

he tries really hard

Holy crap. I just went to wikipedia to hopefully find an article titled "Jared Leto and What Is His Deal, Anyway" and I had had no idea that he was the guy everybody crushed on from My So Called Life.

this whole thing just screams 'terrible pr campaign' to piggyback off of poor ol dead heath ledger's joker

I haven't seen a whole lot of details about the gifts. Was the dildo inside of a jack-in-the-box? Were the used condoms part of a squirt flower or something?

I know he's probably a human being and just living out his hopes and desires and taking work that interests him, but I really feel like he has two modes of "making people love Jared Leto"

there's the pretty boy/rock star side with his My So Called Life and music endeavors, and then his "oh wait, I can make people think I'm cool/cerebral" side he went into after a 99/00 run of "edgy" films

I still have no idea why the hell he did that movie where he plays Mark David Chapman

is his band bad, or like, really bad?

Actors, generally speaking, are pretty stupid and highly susceptible to outside influences. That's why they're actors.

rude

I taught a 17 y/o student from Italy a few years back, very smart girl academically, who idolised Leto to an irksome level, to the extent that she'd find a way to twist almost every assignment to being about him. It got boring quickly. I checked out 30 Seconds to Mars on the back of that, they are really not good.

Odds on whether his summer media campaign will be pulling pranks on Fallon/Kimmel vs. "melting down" on same.

reminds me of a recent David Fincher quote, when his daughter told him that her friend Max said Fight Club was his favorite film:
"Don't be friends with Max"

I'll bet there are some Suicide Squad cast members who feel like destroying something beautiful just now.

Something so beautiful, it hurts to look at it.

DO U GET MY JOEKS

Theres no way they'd get away with Suicide Squad Lego, so they chucked Deadshot and Nu52 Harley into a random set with Batman and some bat pods.

Still, I dig having a Deadshot Minifig:
