I'm not trying to get them killed quicker

We live in a world where police killed a teen for cosplaying; in that world, my kids get nothing that even remotely look like weapons.

ach Harley Quinn SWAT soft weapon features a series of sounds that play when swung through the air and on impact!

'your kids will be thrilled by the realistic sounds of skull fragments being driven through brain tissue!'

i'm guessing they're more POW and BIFF and WHAM-ETH

not only bad around gunslingers but also bad as encouraging fighting. as a kid i nearly seriously injured a young relative with big novelty boxing gloves. said relative got knocked down with their head very close to a hard edge.

How did we miss that WB is selling what is very nearly a Margot/Harley living doll?

The MPAA obviously agreed, saying the rating was due to “sequences of violence and action throughout, disturbing behavior, and suggestive content and language.” Oh, it’s gonna suggest the hell out of some language and content, letting your mind fill in the blanks of all that awesome violence and language you’re not going to see or hear onscreen. Meanwhile, Deadpool continues to be the highest-grossing R-rated film in history. “Yeah, whatever. F that,” retorts Suicide Squad, because, hey, language.

I'll be so disappointed if the Joker isn't introduced in an extended musical number where he does the futterwacken to "Without Me".

This is the kind of soundtrack that should come with the case pre-scuffed and markdown used CD price stickers on it indicating it already made the rounds of old chains like the Wherehouse before finally ending up in the dusty cardboard box at the charity shop a strip mall church theoretically runs.

I'm to the point on ilx pop culture threads where Old Lunch posts my own thoughts before I read the thread

keep up the good work!

μpright mammal (mh), Tuesday, 21 June 2016 18:32 (eight years ago) link

xpost -- Thank you no. I will however coordinate a volunteer effort to delete the master files.

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 21 June 2016 18:32 (eight years ago) link

xpost Haha, thanks, will do.

'Slippin' Into Darkness' is a tite track, anyway. If it gets the kids into War, something positive will have been achieved by this endeavor.

Manspread Mann (Old Lunch), Tuesday, 21 June 2016 18:33 (eight years ago) link

My wife is a fairly popular author of steamy Joker/Harley fic. I'd love to enlist her help in writing some erotic lyrics that I could set to some brutally beautiful metal riffs should a precovers sesh come to pass

Rhyme 'Juggalos' with 'juggle those'. This thing writes itself.

SHOCKED

pokemon go speed run (bizarro gazzara), Tuesday, 2 August 2016 18:42 (seven years ago) link

saw some quote from the director in the NYT about how the end was "morally questionable" or something like that - put my fears to rest

Οὖτις, Tuesday, 2 August 2016 18:43 (seven years ago) link

oof

From the first scene to the last, it’s an absolute mess, one whose harried pacing, jumbled narrative, and blaring soundtrack of radio hits suggests a desperate post-production attempt to reconfigure what Ayer got on set into something palatable and poppy.

pokemon go speed run (bizarro gazzara), Tuesday, 2 August 2016 18:43 (seven years ago) link

viola davis as amanda waller seems like the only good decision anyone involved in this movie made, huh

pokemon go speed run (bizarro gazzara), Tuesday, 2 August 2016 18:44 (seven years ago) link

Not convinced that this is the end of the DCCU, this is more like 'what if Deadpool tanked'

Andrew Farrell, Tuesday, 2 August 2016 18:48 (seven years ago) link

I imagine that negative reviews will only bolster the fervent defense of the movie by the people to whom it is targeted (Ed Hardy wearin' gritty muderverse stans).

rb (soda), Tuesday, 2 August 2016 18:53 (seven years ago) link

xpost Except that they're planning to build a 10+ film franchise off of a scant handful of underwhelming and underperforming flicks. If this one doesn't turn things around...

a charisma-free shitlord (Old Lunch), Tuesday, 2 August 2016 18:54 (seven years ago) link

you just described zack snyder iirc xp

pokemon go speed run (bizarro gazzara), Tuesday, 2 August 2016 18:55 (seven years ago) link

Wonder Woman is seriously the first entry of this nonsense that looked like something I might pay money to see. The recent bombshell that Snyder was more hands-on than at first indicated, though, gives me second thoughts.

a charisma-free shitlord (Old Lunch), Tuesday, 2 August 2016 18:56 (seven years ago) link

i can't wait for the schadenfreude lols that future behind-the-scenes production stories will bring - seems like it was a bit of a shitshow from start to finish

pokemon go speed run (bizarro gazzara), Tuesday, 2 August 2016 19:00 (seven years ago) link

It sounded very much like they reshot and re-edited much of the movie at the eleventh hour as a reaction to the success of Deadpool. Which seems like a pretty great recipe for cinematic magic (I call it 'cinemagic').

a charisma-free shitlord (Old Lunch), Tuesday, 2 August 2016 19:08 (seven years ago) link

In polite old New England vernacular, calling a misbehaved child "fresh" is tantamount to calling him a vile little shit. It's reserved for ill-tempered, snarky kids who cuss a lot. My mom calls Hot Topic "Fresh Topic," and referred in the '80s to Bart Simpson as "that fresh yellow boy." In every possible way, this movie looks like it's trying to be fresh.

remy bean, Tuesday, 2 August 2016 19:13 (seven years ago) link

One time in high school when I was with my extended family around the holidays, my weird and similarly-aged cousin kept coming up to me and my brothers and saying random curse words under his breath and giggling like it was super transgressive but it was actually just sad and more than a little uncomfortable. I guess WB decided that audiences nationwide should have that same experience.

Can't trust the SUICIDE SQUAD reviews because there's a very real chance the critics were all driven insane by how twisted it is
