Hes killed like a jillion people and it never felt like there was anything between the two of them in suicide squad so like, let it go dude. Pretty sure he cares about being called a joke. ‘Cuz he is.

In several different places now I've seen some made-too-well meme, always a different one, saying Repo is an overlooked masterpiece. This feels more astroturfed than Disney "controversies" Like different websites, difference subs of those websites, and always a meme that looks like it was done by a graphic artist. It doesn't feel even remotely organic.

He based it on being the “peace maker” and that revealed to him that he was blindly acting contrary to the best interests of his own person ethos He’s a bad guy because he never stopped to think about others, and the arc of the season was him building a squad and sticking with them instead of seeking peace at any costs

The company that distributed Ben and Arthur has a lot of other super low budget LGBT movies available on DVD, most of which have no information other than the DVD cover and a short plot synopsis. I kinda want to buy some but I also doubt that they can live up to synopses like this; After having his true love Toby snatched from his arms and dragged into hell's realm, Lucas followed in vain searching and fighting his way through the demonic hordes in the underworld. A year later, Lucas is summoned back to earth by his immortal friend Mikal to help stop Lilith, the Queen Mother of the Vampires, and her devilish plan to create a master vampire race using students from an esteemed college. With the help of a powerful witch and her coven, Lucas continues his search for his immortal lover Toby while trying to stop Lilith’s evil plan.

Ben and Arthur but with spirit hallow ween masks, trash bag hallways and red flood lights. You literally can't go wrong here. Unless it's boring, and it'll probably be pretty boring.

AARD VARKMAN posted:Almost finished with Peacemaker and it's loving strange that John Cena is one of the best comedic actors working but I guess that just be how it be sometimes. I don't know anything about his wrestling, but I remember Cena showing up on the WWE Divas reality TV show around 2013 or so, and he made an impression on me, because I thought he was clearly depressed, and also very smart Those are like the 2 big ingredients for a comedian

A GLISTENING HODOR posted:In several different places now I've seen some made-too-well meme, always a different one, saying Repo is an overlooked masterpiece. The entire Repo thing was astroturf from the start; it's like the creator entirely missed the point of Rocky Horror, but tried cram Repo into the same mold after the fact, hoping it would stay a "thing" like RHPS was only crossed with mall goth. The dude has has super-fans still but overall that didn't work. I guess now they're trying to repackage it (again) like it was somehow secretly bad on purpose? Like RHPS is not the pinnacle of filmmaking, but on a base level it sets out what it tries to do; it's a fun and good-natured tribute to/parody of of C grade sci-fi-exploitation movies and makes that abundantly clear from the start. I've seen people put it as an example of being "so bad it's good" but it's not, and that's missing the point; RHPS actually pulled off a pretty remarkable feat of parodying bad movies, not actually being one by accident. It's flawed, but it does what it said on the tin, so golf clap for it. In a mirror Universe where the creator of Repo understood themes and subtext (even subtext as obvious as RHPS') and wanted to do a modern RHPS, Repo would be a musical/opera that ostensibly looks like, well, like what Repo was, but is actually a parody/commentary on late-90s edgy culture and the mall-goth "The World is a Dark Place, Non-Conformity Rules(tm)" aesthetic. But they didn't and it's just a slog. tl;dr being a lovely movie does not make that movie secretly a parody of what that movie tried to be.

Officially tired of the "young actor goes CUH-RAZY playing generic Batman villain" story No they didn't. And if they did then loving never let them work in film because that's an incredibly dangerous person if their psychological state can be destroyed by putting on a costume and they might kill someone if you cast them as anything other than a Hallmark movie love interest.

Scream 5 is pretty good. I did not like the interminable scenes of everyone sitting around going "maybe you're the killer" "well maybe YOU'RE the killer". But all the meta stuff was fun and Jack Quaid was very engaging.

Cubone posted:it's kinda weird that the Scream movies have always been whodunnits when they're a send-up of slashers and that was almost never an element in slasher movies Yeah most slashers if they don't have an outright Freddy/Jason/Michael Myers have a dumb setup where you think it's Dave the whole time and the stupid twist that makes no sense is that it was actually Becky. (see: My Bloody Valentine, Nail gun Massacre, Black Christmas, etc.) Whodunnit and Slasher are pretty much incompatible because slashers rely on an imminent threat and everyone being dumb as hell, and whodunnit, at least a good one, requires misdirect and motive and everyone having some depth to them that gives you an alibi and a motive, which is far more effort than goes into bimbo, weed guy, jock, horndog, slut, virgin, sadboi, and partyman.

Rinkles posted:My review of Peacemaker: I enjoyed it despite being kinda tired of dark comedy superhero stuff. I really liked it because The Boys is supposed to be the dark comedy anti-superhero show and then Peacemaker is the anti-The Boys It's lighthearted and fun while brushing against heavy themes instead of absolutely wallowing in misery and throwing out a joke. Which is, hilariously, exactly what the DC universe is, so it gets double points for being different from the thing it's different from that's parodying the thing while being the same and oh dear I've gone cross-eyed.

Peacemaker soundtrack rules. I love Hanoi Rocks. John Cena playing Motley Crue on the piano was bad rear end too. I like The Boys but Peacemaker is definitely way more fun. The Boys/Invincible are just dour as gently caress. If it wasn't for Anthony Starr and JK Simmons respectively I would have written those shows off.

I avoided Suicide Squad, but I've been watching that Nightmare Future scene from Justice League, so that's my most prolonged exposure to the Leto Joker and something about the way he's playing him ALMOST sort of clicked with me. I'm not sure if I like it, but I'll use a comparison here: The Ledger Joker felt like it was playing into something of a trickster-based direction on the character. The Leto Joker feels like it's playing into being the Joker as a 'internet troll' or 'living meme'. I can't really think of a better way to put it. It was like everything he's saying and doing feels like it's intentionally trying to evoke a living version of the "I'm not touching you!" or "U Mad, Bro?" The greatest joke the Joker ever pulled was making us hate him.
