She worked as a translator for a Japanese model and helped edit subtitles, so I don't quite buy into her being awful at speaking Japanese. I'm sure she has an accent from not living in Japan most of her life.

MiB3 would have been a decent follow-up that still didn't live up to the original if it weren't having to make up for a really poo poo sequel.

Also MIB3 opened 3 weeks after The Avengers which was pretty much the worst possible point in the history of cinema to try and release a quippy action film. Fun fact: MIB3 actually had a bigger production budget than The Avengers.

Japanese is her first language, inasmuch as it's all her parents spoke so she learned English when she went to school.

So, right now the movie is sitting a 731 millions as worlwide gross. I'm guessing that if the movie would've opened on China that total would be at 900 millions mark at least.

China box office for Man of Steel and BvS were $63 and $95 million respectively, so I don't know if Suicide Squad would have broke 900. $800 million for sure though.

Kurzon posted:I don't know what you were talking about specifically. But some things the Joker does in this movie are still too implausible. Like hanging out in a nightclub while a fugitive in front of dozens of drunk partygoers who could ruin him with one phone call to the cops (fun fact: criminals rat each other out all the time). I've read books on the New York Mafia and the gangsters never discussed crimes in bars or clubs because the FBI had them all bugged. John Gotti and Sammy the Bull would discuss crimes on the sidewalk where the FBI couldn't eavesdrop. But instead Joker is hiding in plain sight and he murders a gangster. Now I know this is a silly superhero story but this is stretching reality a little too far. Even children know that breaking out of prison doesn't void one's conviction. The Adam West Joker had more sense than Leto Joker. Please also explain how Cesar Romero's Joker was better, because he's obviously wearing paint over his moustache, whereas in real life we know that chemicals can't turn people milk white and grass green.

Like there's literally thousands of stories about people from other countries emigrating to America or even people from within America joining the military and then returning home and having a weird accent/using new or outdated slang and sounding funny to their friends and family. It can legitimately be both, Teikanmi's Japanese friends may have thought she sounded funny, but implying that this is evidence she's not "an actual Japanese person" is stupid as hell, especially with people telling you repeatedly she is native Japanese. Why not just ask for the long form birth certificate at this point?

Remember when David Ayer said the theatrical cut was his cut and there'll never be an ultimate edition of Suicide Squad? Guess what, now there IS an Ultimate Edition of Suicide Squad! They just wanted to surprise you.

It's really fascinating that the reverberations of BvS are so profound that it's actually convinced people that its release of a theatrical and then a home video-exclusive extended cut is both a new phenomenon and a particularly grievance manipulation. It's like when they credit Iron Man for doing something X-Men: The Last Stand did two years earlier.

I think it's more of the fact that both BvS and SS suffered from editing and pacing issues due to late in the stage editing changes, which frustrated views who saw the film in theaters. Then seeing them release a version that is a lot more coherent later on feels frustrating because it's like...why even see them in theaters if we're not getting the more coherent version? I know you weird film analysis people love incoherent story things, but that's not mine, or a lot of people's bag. It just gets old.

See, this is what I'm getting at. You haven't actually seen the extended cut, have no idea if you have any strongly different opinion on it than you do the theatrical cut, it could be just more poo poo you don't like. You've formulated this scenario where the reason the extended cut is a selling point is because it will provide "coherency," which you've based on nothing except that you know that, logically, there will be more content. But that content itself could be superfluous to what you already understood or incoherent in its own way. The selling point of the extended cut - as with any new edit of an already extant film - is that the extended cut exists, just like the theatrical cut. It's a movie, not "the real version" of the movie you saw before.

It could be. But it's like, why bother at this point if every DC Movie's going to have some last minute complete reworkings of the plot and editing to either make it shorter or make it like a trailer? It's frustrating. It's cool and fine if the films organically change to be something different than what they set off to do, but when you see tones and things jive in a negative way with the film itself, you feel like something else happened. Something that wasn't a part of the film, but rather someone outside of the film forcing ideas into it at the last minute. Like this for example. Theatrical https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPhcRisru3I&t=45s Unrated https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wksN6xezDfs&t=97s There is some nefarious poo poo going on here. It wasn't a product of making the film better, or fixing the pacing...it's the product of an old white guy getting skeeved out. Even if it's not, it looks really, really bad.
