Birds of Prey was trash, save for a few very entertaining bits/characters.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I am not surprised you thought that.  I don't think you're the target audience as envisioned by the writer and director.  I went with two female friends and we all thoroughly enjoyed it.  Have you seen the animated Harley Quinn show by chance?  That is pretty damn funny in my opinion and more appealing to traditional adult comic movie fans.

It is probably not a good sign for your big budget mass market film that, unless you are in the exact target audience, it is unsurprising you will think it is trash. :lol:

How many lines from the Bible do you know, Brain?
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

I have no idea what he means is the target audience. Guys that go to films with two girls? Cool story, guy.

New Pope - episode 7, ok that was odd. 
Awarded 17 Zoupa points

In several surveys, the overwhelming first choice for what makes Canada unique is multiculturalism. This, in a world collapsing into stupid, impoverishing hatreds, is the distinctly Canadian national project.

Hunters - Amazon has developed quite an expertise making alt-hist nazi conspiracy shows that manage to be particularly boring. Also, somehow Pacino decided this was the best property for making his first subdued performance in ages.

So far I feel like it's basically no plot threaded through violent, icky scenes.

what specificallly? I didn't find it odder than any other.

I think that's what I like about it, there's definately a neo-surrealism to the whole thing.
