Suicide Squad trailer is baller. I like these snippets of Robbie-Quinn wayyyyyy better. Bartending scene looks great.


You started this conversation comparing it unfavorably to the movie where the main female character immediately loses all agency the second she starts following Chris Pratt around.

I never defended Guardians. I'm just saying it's trying very hard to be DC's Guardians.

Imitating something that's flawed is kind of adding another level of distastefulness.

like realistically we all know slipknot gonna be dead as gently caress by the 45 minute mark, but is it too much to hope that there's at least one situation the squad runs into afterwards that could have been solved easily via creative application of ropes?

It looks like Harley is hanging from a rope trapeze from a building at some point (2:09 in the trailer). I hope she does that without any Slipknot help or reference to clinch that character.

In the sense that it involves several people doing a thing in a place, yes.

It follows a group of antiheroes/scoundrels with a heavy emphasis (from the marketing at least) on older rock music. It feels rather transparent to me. You're free to disagree if you want.

What was the last tentpole movie marketed around new music? It's always either orchestral or retro. New pop music is reserved for comedies aimed at those young people I keep hearing about. New rock music doesn't seem to actually exist.

Uh, Transformers? The original trilogy each got a brand new Linkin Park song. The Twilight movies had soundtracks far better than they deserved. 50 Shades is technically a tentpole, right?

I think it's because a lot of movies are set in very fantastical worlds, so modern music seems weird.

Then again, they got Star Trek to sync with the Beastie Boys so who knows.

Linkin Park is literally the most popular/best selling modern rock band since the turn of the millennium. Quality aside, it's a pretty big deal.

Despite not actually writing a new song since Hybrid Theory. They did buy new costumes and hire new directors for their videos though.

Now I feel old because I remembered that that album came out about the same time as Limp Bizkit's third album, and I thought it was a coin toss about which band would age better. I was a really loving stupid kid.

This might out me as a tool, but Linkin Park's fourth album is actually real good. It's simultaneously a really obvious album about how terrible nuclear war is and a touching one about about suicidal depression. And they're way different from Hybrid Theory, a lot less rap-rock-y than they used to be. I don't give a poo poo about anything they did after that, they made the one thing they were meant to make and now they're back to making Dumb Bullshit.

edit: Also you're allowed to like Hybrid Theory when you're 13, because it's exactly the emotional level of a 13-year-old.

I seem to remember the LP guys talking about rebelling from authority at some point when the average age of the band members was 25. That was silly.

This is true. There is, however, no excuse for having liked Limp Bizkit. I did, and for this I still must atone.
