Re: DC's "Suicide Squad" (August 5th, 2016)

maybe the execs got cold feet with the inevitable comparisons that would ensue between Ledger, Nicholson and his portrayal. I take them as individual separate performance/intrepretations of the character. No one is better than the other. IMHO, Nicholson's Joker was more comic if you ask me, Ledger's was creepy insane calm, Leto's is just flat out insane (from what I've seen).

I agree. But considering how the movie ended, I'm sure Leto's Joker will have a much bigger role in future movies, be it the Harley Quinn team-up movie or other DC movies.

When does Kanye play?

It plays when Deadshot has to show his 'skills' to Waller as seen in the trailers I think.

I would add the scenes where they play the songs but I'll save the ones who can't help but spoil it for themselves.

This film has SMACKED from the beginning of "try too hard" syndrome, as well as a healthy dose of "let be different/stylized" paranoia.

These character do not need any of that, they have stood on there own for 50 years , with plenty of continuity and strong character structure. In a vain attempt to "update" the classic, they screwed it up. (no surprise)

We we are getting is a marketing/demographic/formula film, they tried to be everything and ends up being nothing.

Films continue down this executive led path, guided by people with little or no creative writing ability or understanding of the genre and why its maintained it popularity for so long.

When I first saw the promo pics all I could think of was this episode of the Simpsions.....

Adding the "Damaged" tattoo on his forehead was the egads moment equivalent to giving Poochie the dark sunglasses

I'll let you know what I think goose, we seem to have similar tastes.

Re: DC's "Suicide Squad" (August 5th, 2016)

It's just odd that they used the Joker heavily in the marketing then decided to cut him out. Surely having a Joker heavy movie would have been the safe option?...

It looks like the studio had two versions of the movie.
One version was the director 's gritty darker version

The second version was done with the help of the company that made the trailer with the Queen song.
That version was done with different music and cut faster
With a lighter tone.
The people that did the trailerhelped edit it.

Both versions were tested with audiences and people preferred the crazier light tone version more than the version the director made.

The studio spent millions to make the new version.
Reshoots to make it lighter
They did not go with the directors version.


Looks like the joker scenes were part of the serious version and the studio could not work those scenes into the movie.

Not sure why but it looks like the audience complained about the joker stuff
Or something else happened. Everything changed when the audience saw it and gave feedback

Who are these "test audiences" they screen movies to and why do they have such horrible taste?
