Suicide Squad 2 to be directed by James Gunn

[jye4ever]

Ironically enough I have been rewatching Toxic Avenger, Street Trash and others ever since the 80’s lol

I’m biased though because I have great memories growing up with those and being taught special make up effects by Jennifer Aspinall herself (and Dean Kartalis RIP) from Troma back in the day.

Don't think I ever saw much of the Troma films.

Though I was thinking yesterday how good the '80s was for films. ESB, ROTJ, BTTF, Risky Business, The Breakfast Club, all the brat pack movies. It's a seemingly endless list when I start to think of them!

80s had some insane films that still hold up.

87 alone had Predator, Lethal Weapon and RoboCop.

Everyone is so toxic in here. I'm going to review bomb this thread.

Matticus is so toxic, I'm going to review bomb him.

It truly is endless

For all its unashamed moral bankruptcy, The Suicide Squad has a heart, as sick and twisted as it is.

OT > The Weasel.

No argument there.

But The Weasel > ST.


(The Weasel was so ridiculously funny, but he just reminded me of Spray, the Tynnan skip tracer from Brian Daley's Han Solo's Revenge).

The opening scene with him made my laugh so hard. His inclusion is so random

Really loved rat catcher and king shark. Don’t know why people thought he was wasted. He did exactly what I expected him to do. Love this movie. DC sometimes shows it can beat marvel .

And then for every good movie they have a string of absolute *****.

Sadly. This is why I get mad when they make such poor decisions instead of just having fun with the characters they have. Not everything has to be about batman or super dark or connected to an upcoming film.

So the moral heart is to bring upon the human race another plague 100x worse than covid lol

 

[Otomofan]

I just read that Weasel was based on "Bill the Cat" from Bloom County.

That makes me like him more.

She was drawing the rats from the environment, not creating them though?

The film is full of psychopaths and twisted scenes, of characters who should be inherently unlikable for what they are and do. Yet Ratcatcher 2 has a kind of naivety, befriending Nanaue and getting Bloodsport to overcome his fear of rats.

It's the sick heart of a sick film.

That makes sense. lol

The immortal Weasel!

Speaking of Troma type films I just watched Hobo with a Shotgun for the first time this week and thought it was much better than The Suicide Squad.

Love that movie. Schloky and fun.

Opening weekend estimates are 26-28 million (based on Thursday+Friday total of 12 million).

King Shark was used just right. Too much and you risk sidelining the other characters.

Ratcatcher 2 was my favourite of the bunch.

Bloodsport surprised me. Thought he was just a Will Smith stand in however Idris nailed it.

 

[jye4ever]

KS sucked

I mean seriously what the hell did he do that was so memorable or impressive.

More like King Zzzzzz

Stallone voicing him make didn’t make a lick of difference it could’ve been any person off the street voicing him.

There is not one memorable or exciting scene in this entire movie that is worth revisiting not even the kaiju action which admittedly was handled much better than GvK so i’ll give Gunn that win!

 

[Khev]

Complaining about stupid scenes in this movie, which is kinda part of the point with Gunn, but just gleefully ignore the literal two hours of stupid **** in deadly serious ZSJL. Lois buys a coffee! Aquaman shirt smeller! Aquaman takes shirt off! Oh yeah TOTALLY not dumb and TOTALLY serious.

Already counting the hypocrites here.

Weren't you the one who was whining for weeks on end about the ST killing off all the white male characters, especially white male characters from previous films? Way to stick to your guns on that one, lol.
