Glad they brought up the lovely glamorising of Joker and Harley's relationship, because the movie seems like it was written by the kind of people who missed the point of it.
Eh, that's not just a problem with the movie. A lot of female Harley fans don't seem to get what the relationship actual was, even after the comics spelled it all out and had Harley finally kicking the poo poo out of Joker while pretty much saying "YOU RUINED MY LIFE".

They keep accidentally describing Batman: Assault on Arkham when writing their better Suicide Squad movie.

That's probably my favorite part, there actually is a solid Suicide Squad movie and they keep accidentally pitching it, just showing how incredibly not difficult it is to at least make a good movie about this team!

Them talking about Captain Boomerang's ~random~ plush unicorn made me remember that Deadpool did the exact same gag just a few months earlier and it actually worked then, which only makes them stealing doing the same joke by complete coincidence that much worse.

Yea Suicide Squad reeeeally got hosed by Deadpool turning out to be fantastic. All their dumb tee hee random moments could have been fine if we didn't have a movie that was just out a bit ago that did that poo poo so much better.

I honestly do wonder if the "Random tee hee" moments were added because of Deadpool's success, of if they were there from the get-go.

I mean, it seemed like before the DP movie hit it big, the Suicide Squad trailers were more serious and darker, then afterwards it was adding the Bohemian Rhapsody and "Worst. Heroes. Ever." tagline.

(By the way; making a "Worst. ______. Ever." joke in 2016? Really?)

wasn't that exactly how it worked? Wasn't this the movie that famously JUST HAPPENED to get a rewrite even after shooting was long past because Deadpool did gangbusters, and oh gee it just happens that the new trailers play up how Harley is so wacky and lol cutesy graffiti and all.

I've known some girls like that, and it's a little sad because like, it's possible to be crazy about somebody, sure. But I think people lose the whole "they're both LITERALLY crazy and Joker is a loving rear end in a top hat who uses her like a puppet" thing. They get the whole "crazy for you" part and lose the rest. It's...sad. It's similar to the Twilight deal really.

I was listening to the 2nd half of the episode this morning and saw 2 people on Tinder with movie Harley Quinn costumes.

I want to see GODS OF EGYPT before the episode. My little bro loves it, and it sounds like it has amazing visuals, which is all I care about in a movie (gently caress 'plot', it doesn't matter). It sounds like it'd go great with a few tall glasses of water.

Plus I'm Facebook friends with Alex Proyas because Sydney is tiny, and he posted a ton of rants/defenses of the movie. He seemed really hurt by the critical reception, and it's hard not to think of him. Plus I kinda know people who worked on it

Though it was hilarious going to a local occult art exhibition. They had trippy Crowley art and then Proyas' moody black and white photos of naked goth girls.

An ideology which was apparently NOT about the quest for Lebensraum and racist ideology, but actually about how freedom is bad something something footage of Chavez and stock markets.

We just need to round up these nazis, who are apparently NOT racists, and make sure our crooked government is no longer infiltrated by these anti-freedom groups, and everything will be fine.

I have him on Facebook too and he just comes off like the biggest rear end in a top hat humanly possible whenever he says anything. His default tone is :smuggo: pretty much.
