The soundtrack was ok, similar retro vibe to GOTG which was expected. The fact that they killed off so many of the squad which actually showed it was a suicide mission, and these expendables can and will die. Killing the "main" hero (who no one cares about anyway) was at least something different. The Harley Quinn in a red dress hallway scene was ok. I mean she had a spear against a small army of guys with machine guns who couldn't shoot her at all, but hey at least it was visually interesting. Maybe you will get a better opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBENT87 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Watching "Within" on and off during free time. "Starlight" the cute as hell blonde from The Boys is the protagonist, playing a high school student who moves into a creepy sorta haunted house with her parents in this (spoiler: apparently the former residents are still in the house living in the crawl space/walls of the house. I'm probably 25% of the way into the movie and you already know thats the case, so I don't really feel like its a real spoiler, F off). Anyway, yeah it is weird as crap seeing this actress in this role as she looks exactly the same. When I first turned this on and seeing the move in etc, I just thought she was the third wheel to the other couple, and she was moving in with these two bc her husband got hit by a bus or something. Then 15 -20 mins in you see her fire up her laptop and this hipster young kid pops up as her boyfriend asking about the new house. Was such a mindF.

I'd try watching it as soon as you wake up and drink several hundred mgs of caffeine. Maybe a few lines of coke. Otherwise you are just going to keep falling asleep.

The_Omega Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Finally finished watching Suicide Squad. I had started it last weekend, but got interrupted by a 25th Anniversary trip. Anyway, I liked it well enough, thought it was pretty fun, and pretty funny, which were improvements over the other one. It wasn't the best superhero movie, but I don't think it was supposed to be. Pretty sure the negotiations with Gunn went something like this: DC: We hear that Marvel fired you Gunn: Yeah, said I'm a pervert, possibly a pedophile DC: We don't care, please come make a movie for us Gunn: OK, but I want to remake The Suicide Squad DC: We just spent a bunch of money doing that one... Gunn: And I want to use some of the same actors, and I want to make it R rated, with tons of graphic violence, and gore, and f bombs... DC: Gunn: And I want to make the primary antagonist a giant alien starfish DC: Fine, fine, just please make a movie for us, and maybe try to recruit some Marvel actors? PLEASE!

Agent23 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Is the new suicide squad the only 90%+ rotten tomatoes DCEU movie? I’m guessing the first two Bale Batman’s might be the only other 90% films? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devpool Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 I finished Suicide Squad today, it was ok. I hated the starfish thing, like I get the whole movie was meant to be dumb but they didn't try at all there. I thought King Shark would be cooler based on what I read and he was really lame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A creature who doesn't say much and seems dumb and is voiced by an actor with a deep, mumbling, gravely voice? Well let me introduce you to King Shark.

I'll have to check this out. Wasn't familiar with the big wave area off the coast of Portugal. The biggest one I knew of was Maverick's, which is off the coast of CA a little south of the San Fran area. A young 16yo named Jay Moriarity was caught on camera in one of the biggest wipeouts ever and that pic was featured on the cover of Surfer Magazine. He became a big wave legend and tragically died just 6 years later in a free dive accident off the Madives in the Indian Ocean. I wasn't familiar with the surfer featured in this film, but do know Laird Hamilton who also is in the film. The big wave riders were a whole separate group from the tour and soul surfers who traveled the World. Takes real courage to surf such big waves with all that water that could come down on you and leave you helpless. Big time surfers have drowned in lesser conditions, like Mark Foo. All it takes is the board hitting your head or your leash getting caught on rocks/reef and you're done. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The guy in France Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 On 8/3/2021 at 11:25 PM, NOTW said: Anyone watch the show Gomorrah? Best recent Italian mob series and longest running. If you haven’t but are going to watch some of the other ones, I would watch in this order Suburra, ZeroZeroZero and last Gomorra so you are not let down by the others. They ( Suburra and ZZZ ) are pretty good but pale in comparison. There is a catch of needing subtitles for Gomorra and Suburra and a lot of ZZZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it was kinda a mini-series about nothing. Also, congrats! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
