Suicide Squad.  It can't be THAT bad?  I mean, sure, it's DC.  But hey, they took the worst of the worst and coerced them into doing something good.  There's gotta be something good in it, right?

After 3 months of attempted watching:   
My advice: stay away from this turd.

30 second ass shot.

yeah, if you're into asses.  I'm not much of a Rear Admiral
Although, I'll have to admit, that was nice.

I watched a Spanish dub of "Raiders of the Lost Ark."  They kept "Jones" with the English pronunciation, but gave the first part of "Ravenwood" a Spanish pronunciation; (there's no double-o in Spanish so they had to leave it as "Wood") so it took me a second to realize that the G-men weren't discussing "Robin Hood."

I got a bottle of Eau-de-Vie in Israel with Hebrew writing, just like the one Marion and Belloq down.     (How did the Nazis not notice that? )

That's because to most of us English pronunciation is extremely nonsensical , so we randomly switch between how you would pronounce it in Spanish and how it's said in English. A good example is Theresa May, who 90% of the time is turned into a Spanish "Teresa" while correctly pronouncing "May".

I was highly annoyed by some BBC podcast on Don Quixote where they pronounced his name something like "quicks-it".  Barbaric.

Easy, they prefer Yiddish to Hebrew. 

You had it coming for watching a dubbed version. No clue about Brazilian Portuguese versions since Portugal and most of Lusophonia does not dub, but French dubbed Indiana Jones movies are infamous for a specific reason: each movie had a different voice for Harrison Ford. 

PS: since somebody might ask about this abomination of a movie, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, yes they kept the same voice as Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Does not though, since I do not consider the last one to be canon.

Anyone here watch The Man in the High Castle?

If so, was it any good?

Yes to your first, no to your second.

I enjoyed large parts of it, but it can be quite the slog in some episodes.

I only enjoyed the Rufus Sewell bits, to be frank - and the attached nazi conspiracy stuff. Everything else was kinda meh. The protagonists are particularly annoying/uninteresting. Also the show never exactly seems to know what it wants to do/tell.

Only watched it, for now, till the second season. I liked it. Not all episodes are perfect obviously, it's one of the few contemporary shows I watched.

That is, indeed, the biggest problem--the lack of focus. I think it hit a good stride in the second season, at least, but I've yet to return to the third.

I've only watched a Netflix produced synopsis of seasons 1 & 2.  What was the name of that 80s alien invasion miseries, V?  That's the vibe I got.  In other words semi-schlocky, semi-soap opera.

V?! Outer Space reptilian conspiracy, a classic!
