It was fun but very, very silly.

It is based on drawings for children, duh.

I've never seen this before.
Alrightish. Though what a sucky ending. And I don't get where he got the info on the guy he beats at the end. And what the deal with the girlfriend was.

Little Englander, indeed.

Anyway, The Suicide Squad was pretty funny and amusing. Harley's accent joke was great. [spoiler]As was the truly hilarious boss monster splash screen[/spoiler].

Solid movie, but I think it ran a touch long and some scenes were...very long compared to their payoff. Harley's redux/inversion of her prison scene in Birds of Prey, for instance.

I enjoyed the Suicide Squad.  I wasn't going to see it at first, since DC has sucked.

"After playing Mandela, it's very hard to read a script that doesn't have any of the qualities that man has," said Idris Elba to the BBC in 2013. "It's quite interesting what it's doing to my taste in characters."

Today, Idris Elba announced in a tweet that he would play Knuckles the Echidna in the Sonic movie sequel.

Every man has his price.

Also, it's been eight years since he said that.  People are allowed to change.

[The Brain]

I don't know anything about this Knuckles the Echidna, I couldn't say which qualities he/she has.

[Maladict]

He was in that Cats abomination, wasn't he? If anything, he's on his way up again.

Out of the blue my sister in law offered to take the kids for the weekend.  So with no real plans Mrs B and I decided to go see a move in the theatre for the first time since the pandemic*.  So we saw The Suicide Squad.

I mean - it was fun.  I enjoyed it.  We had a good time.  But not a movie that took itself seriously.  Mrs B laughed long and hard when Starro made his appearance - laughing more at the movie than with it.

Kind of disappointed that Peter Capaldi's character never actually got to do much.  And after the movie so gleefully killed off so many characters in the first few minutes, everyone else kind of had plot armour for the rest of the movie.

Polka-Dot Man's mommy issues were pretty damn hilarious though.  As was the brief scene from TDK.



* I almost forgot - last winter we did rent a movie theatre with us and a couple other families.  We saw Elf.  Still wasn't quite the full movie theatre experience.

Did you just forget how many people died after that?

[Eddie Teach]

Harley Quinn certainly had it though.

I've been watching two new shows, well one is new, The White Lotus and the other is on season two, Mythic Quest. Both are really fun.

I feel like both are realistic in what they portray: Upstairs downstairs in a Hawaiian resort and a WoW-type game development studio.
