It’s extremely frustrating that serial predators are built up as some sort of unknowable deviant masterminds we can’t possibly crack when the reality is just: police really, really, really, really, really, really, really suck at their jobs.

I’d say this is a slight departure from his usual, while the upcoming Fall of the House of Usher will be more in line with the Hauntings and Midnight Mass.
Trippy. I couldn’t be any more in than I am now, I’m already in.
It’s extremely hard to get your first book published, let alone get it optioned as a movie. Having all that happen with an early draft manuscript is even less likely, and nearly impossible if you don’t already have connections that give you access - it would be roughly on the same level as finding a winning lottery…
According to Gunn, DC/WB basically offered him whatever property he wanted, including Superman. He picked Suicide Squad because he’s a fan of the comics, and also (my speculation here) his writing is strongest with ensembles.
Right? How could he forget Robin Hood: Men in Tights?!
There’s Doom Patrol, though...
Nah.
Maybe starting the conversation by calling another artist’s work “genocide” leaves you little room to be taken aback by the response. Also AVClub, you’re trying to restart an eight year old argument for some clicks? Isn’t that a bigger popcultural problem?

I wouldn’t be surprised if Carter would have done that - what US president hasn’t done awful stuff - but wasn’t the Indonesian genocide in the mid 60s when Carter was still a local Georgian politician?
Yes, Pugh is only 24. Why, that’s nowhere near consenting adult age! She’s no different from a 12-year-old and must be protected! No way she can make her own decisions regarding who she wants to date!
Congrats to Jez for playing their part in the bullying!
The white rims are amazing. That red Bronco is killer. I saw a 4 door Bronco around the 4th of July w/the white rims and its such a good look. Would buy myself if i were buying one of these.
Kinda sounds from this piece like he felt protective of the younger female—maybe weirdly so, but maybe based on his personal experience. As for the female co-worker he abruptly fired and attempted to kiss, if true, it sounds like he would have fired her so they were in the clear to start a romantic relationship he…
I’m just trying to mentally prepare for news that Doom Patrol is done this season. It’s not going well, I end up violently twitching.
Give the guy a break. It was the 1960's, it was a different time.
Maybe I’m missing something and leaving the incident in a bar bathroom with a former co-worker aside, the allegation was that the six who co-signed the complaint were concerned about his relationship with another person on the staff, who did not talk to the Hollywood Reporter, but at least one of those who complained…
That’s actually a great point that I hadn’t even thought about. Hell, even movies that were made in the early 2000s (man it feels weird to type that) could be considered politically incorrect.
