I couldn't believe the existence of 'Nine Lives' when I first heard about it because it's basically that 'South Park' bit: "Rob Schneider is... a STAPLER."

For some reason the fact that the setup is copied entirely from Click, right down to using Christopher Walken, is the part that offends me the most.

Miles Teller is also saying that he has no clue what is going on with the Divergent series. You'd think after they got bad press from their lead saying that they would give rest of the stars something to say when they're asked.

The only one that might care at this point based on their performance in the previous movie is the lead actress. And from what I've heard in this thread she's going to bite it in the next one. Uh, why am I spoiler tagging this, not like anyone cares for these movies beyond mockery. I think it was a mistake to kill off Jai Courtney's character. You can say what you want about him but he at least looked like he was having fun with it. He was kind off like Taye Diggs' role in Equilibrium, the only person showing some emotion in a crowd of dull folk.

The line between deliberate suicide by drugs and accidental overdose of drugs is incredibly hard to determine, especially if the victim doesn't survive.

Well it was determined by the official medical investigation. Also, even if it wasn't decided as such by doctors, it is probably a good idea to give the benefit of the doubt to the victim rather than assuming they did it on purpose.

effectual posted:

They're trying to remake Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, but gender swapped, with Rebel Wilson.

This sounds alright, though Wilson's nowhere near as talented as Martin, and the end result will probably be bawdier and more reliant on Wilson's usual schtick (not that Martin didn't heavily rely on his own well-practiced schtick in the original).

Where it'd go to the next level depends on who they hire for the Caine role. Helen Mirren's the obvious choice, if they can get her, right? I think Mirren would play off Wilson pretty well.

It's probably telling that I spent the second half of my drive home wondering what the gently caress Harley Quinn was even DOING there, because it only took me the first half of the drive to completely forget the (alleged) climax of the film. "She just hits people with bats and quotes Hot Topic shirts from 2003? gently caress me, I can do that."

Also that I mentioned to my friend that I was pissed Slipknot got killed literally five minutes after being introduced and his response was "Who?"

It was a decent enough way to kill two hours but everything moved so god drat fast you have no idea what you just saw, what little you didn't miss rolling your eyes clean out of your head every time Jared Leto Joker did his middle-schooler impression of Heath Ledger Joker. hhhhuhuhuhuuhuhuuhhhUHUHUHUHUHHIIIIII'MNOTGONNAKILLYA

She did more in the movie than the boomerang guy, who did little but "be Australian", had a unicorn thing that went nowhere, and allowed them to use two seconds of The Flash. Really, only two characters had abilities that furthered the plot, while Deadshot got the redemption arc and Harley got the girl in an abusive relationship obviously written by a man who has only been on the other side of dysfunctional relationships story.

Suicide Squad is by far the most watchable DC film in the "new canon", and it's still a ridiculous mess. At least part of the film has fun, but it was obviously written as a fun movie, turned into a sour mess by the suits, and then hurriedly tried to be made refun except things had progressed too far (a good way to tell this is the set designs vs finished effects and fonts) The flashbacks were badly dumped into the film instead of appearing naturally, and Jared Leto threatened to sink the whole film with every frame he appeared in. Somehow, the film succeeds besides all that to become something I'd actually watch again. The animated film is better, though.

It's pretty dumb but I can't see walking out because of it. It was a complete mess but at least it was an interesting mess. Of course BvS is my vote for worst movie of the year almost put me to sleep, and I didn't walk out of that.

I'd be kind of interested to see some of Leto's "ideas" that ended up being filmed purely out of morbid curiosity. As much as that feels like it's encouraging him. The first video that got leaked from the movie was Joker smacking Harley, and that didn't make it into the movie. Anyway where was Batman during all of this? He apparently has time to take down B-listers like Deadshot and show up in post-credits scenes, but he apparently had better things to do than hunt down his nemesis?
