Haha I just found out about that beef! No, I'm gonna need that one to be true please!

I figured it must be something absolutely insane. What a truly bizarre movie to put so much money into hyping.

I really didn't buy a 22 year old supermodel (who looks about 18) as an archaeologist with a PHD, like at all. And if her being young was meant to be a purposeful contrast to the witch's age, it wasn't made anywhere near enough of a point of to be necessary, especially when her love interest is like 36. That contrast…

So we can all agree that the reported chaos on set was 100% just a marketing ploy to get gullible teens invested in all these craaaazy 'edgy' antics that were supposed to be happening 24/7 but obviously never did. It's a regular movie set. Actors in costume, lots of waiting around, actors asking technical questions,…

The problem with Enchantress in particular I think, beyond the fact that Cara Delevingne can't act outside of her casual Londoner everygirl comfort zone, is that she's way too young to play that kind of villain. All the actresses were too young for the parts really (for obvious reasons…), but Cara in particular stood…

I think that was the joke, yes.

I thought he was supposed to be writing that small character driven personal project. I just assumed it was taking so long because he writes everything on fabric with his own blood like Max.

That seems to be the audience they were courting from the start really. The ones that want to watch something that looks like its giving the edgy middle finger to 'PC crowd'. "The critics and the SJWs are FREAKING OUT that this exists you guys! You GOTTA see this!".

I really REALLY want to know what Suicide Squad's marketing budget was.

I just assumed the rapture happened on New Years and we're the leftovers, stuck in the limbo hellscape that has been 2016.

Pete's Dragon could potentially be looking at another Jungle Book style surprise success. Sausage Party is reviewing well and seems like it would share Suicide Squad's audience. Very curious to see what happens next week.

And a massive cinema chain in Mexico isn't screening it at all either due to licencing rights complications or something.

As long as George Miller goes no where near any of these DC projects I'm very whatever about it. WB seems determined to keep throwing their dollars and their creativity to the wind, but god please leave Miller out of it. His time is precious.

It tells me that a lot of people bought pre sale tickets and the year long marketing campaign worked. You have to see a movie to know if you like it, that's what opening weekend is for.

2016 has truly been the darkest of years.

That wasn't a popcorn villain role. Nolan's Batman movie had already set its serious and acclaimed tone. Leto would have read the terrible script to this movie, which is 90% bad quips, and seen he was only in it for 10 minutes. There wouldn't have been a giant part of his performance cut after all that marketing if it…

Jared Leto's reported asshole on set behavior and Robbie's butt I think you mean. And then I cry for cinema and the people telling them that's exactly what they want more of.

I doubt Jared Leto worked hard on this movie. The phoney viral marketing campaign Warner Bros pumped millions into worked hard. I'm fairly sure he turned up to set for a week, did his bit, then went home. He did as much work for his role as any actor who hams it up for a popcorn villain role.
Going to go ahead and…

Funny that pretty much all of her peers and many actresses before her, working during a time when good female roles were even thinner on the ground, have managed not to fall into that particular rut of making a memorable brand out of those very roles. For sure Hollywood is still a festering hotbed of sexism and…

No I can definitely see beyond her sexuality, that's not the issue. She was pretty good for her short appearance in About Time and showed promise in Z for Zachariah, which is the role I think you're talking about. But those aren't the roles that have made her famous. Almost no one saw Z for Zachariah and both Tarzan…
