Posting so you give these bankrupt shits views

Here’s something twisted that will absolutely blow your goddamn mind: Suicide Squad, a very bad movie, set an August box office record on its opening weekend, raking in a hot $135.1 million in North American ticket sales, which is more than Guardians of the Galaxy, an actually good movie, brought in on its opening weekend in 2014.

First of all, I apologize. I saw the movie last night, so I’m a part of the problem. I have to assume millions of other people like me were so committed to hate-watching, they also spent $15 to go see what turned out to be deeply mediocre film. Seriously, Jared Leto should get his Oscar revoked.

On the bright side, the Associated Press reports that although there were large audiences Thursday and Friday night, ticket sales sharply declined on Saturday.

Even though Suicide Squad broke North American box office records for August, it will likely not get released in China, the world’s second largest movie market, due its completely twisted, messed up themes.

>I'm upset that a fictional relationship between two violent criminals wasn't healthy

ok

>using the Lord's name in vain in the very first sentence

>make new york unsafe again
What did the uggo mean by this? Does she want to import some niggers?

Question: don't most movies make their money on DVD/Blu-ray sales?

>it will likely not get released in China, the world’s second largest movie market, due its completely twisted, messed up themes.

Sounds like she thinks this is a good thing. Literally supporting censorship.

>tumblr brags about the ghost busters reboot barely making more than it cost to make
>tumblr cries because suicide squad had a female in hot pants in a movie that made more in 3 days than ghostbusters made in 3 weeks

why cant SJW's into business?

>completely twisted, messed up themes
Ah yes, those organ harvesting, dissenter killing paragon of virtues

Suicide Squad apparently has to make $750 million in order for the studio to just break even, so it still has a long way to go.

Unless the follow-up hinges on Harley Quinn exacting revenge for all the misogynist bullshit she had to put up with in the first movie, please Warner Brothers, don’t invest in a sequel.

That's literally it, grade A journalism.

Here are some comments;

"Never gonna watch it. But I’m curious how Leto’s Joker stacks up. AnAnyone who saw it like to share? Spoil away too, if needed necessary."

"I found him annoying. Seemed to be trying way, way too hard, and the movie really seemed to love dwelling on the abusive relationship he had with Harley. That said, there were so many problems with the movie (starting with the writing and the direction before even getting into the general incoherence (which was at least presumably expained by studio interference)) that Leto’s shitty Joker barely registered for me. Margot did a great job as Harley, though I would have been fine with her ass not eating her shorts and Ayer not panning up her body at every opportunity. SMith was fine as Deadshot. The guy who played El Diablo was pretty terrific. Viola Davis did well enough, but her version of Waller is very clearly at home in the DC murderverse. The rest? Eh. Most openly funny thing was the way the Enchantress felt she had to do a shimmy while casting her big spell. Like... THAT was the directyion Ayer gave her? “Give your line, then shimmy?”

"Was like porn actor level."

"See, it’s because of curiosity like this that helped this abomination break the opening weekend record for August."

Because they think movies should be about "teachable moments", "moral instruction" and the "greater good" rather than pure entertainment. People don't spend money to be preached at.

Reminder that Tumblrinas are out of touch.

>implying hollywood isn't propaganda

>Pearl clutching about Suicide Squad/China even though tons of shit doesn't get released there often

>implying Hollywood dosen't pander to China

why does anyone care
its a fucking movie
its not fucking important
it doesn't mean anything
its a fucking movie about super heros
what is wrong with adults today
super heros are for little children
I am a grown man and I don't go around flapping my arms saying "im baaaatman look at me im superman" im a fucking grown as man.
I spend my time building tables and other shit. I don't play little childrens games or obsess over super heros or "care" about a fucking entertainment movie. Movies don't matter. Especially fucking super hero movies. You fucking pathetic manchildren.

>all the misogynist bullshit

JUST READ THIS LINE AND IMMEDIATELY BOUGHT 8 TICKETS 2BH

TUBLRINAS CRYING ABOUT MISOGYNY IS BETTER ADVERTISING THAN PAID RT SHILLS SAYING YOUR MOVIE GREAT

>all the women and niggers are great
>the rest are eh

These """people""" are so fucking see through

Am I the only one who seriously really enjoyed it? So many people are bashing it and acting like it's the worst thing ever, and I honestly don't understand it.

>Viola Davis did well enough, but her version of Waller is very clearly at home in the DC murderverse.

Waller's always been ruthless, it's a defining attribute of her character.

enjoying something and it being good aren't mutually exclusive.

>its a fucking movie
>stop discussing it

Also, you're pathetic if you think these movies aren't worth discussing for their cultural and pop influence alone.

Like it or not they're shaping the Hollywood landscape, and denying that Hollywood has an impact on the way people think is more childish.

Also the success/failure of a movie impacts what gets made in the future. Grow up and stop whining behind your Mr. Serious Business façade.

Let us all take a moment to thank sony for making feminism a part of film criticism.

Thanks Sony.

>>Yes, even comic-book franchises promote ideology. This may come as a shock to consumers still stuck on the idea that Hollywood wants to entertain more than indoctrinate. Even normally sophisticated folks who are unschooled in recognizing hegemony or realizing how the culture system functions today prove susceptible to the lure of apparently innocuous entertainment. They hold onto adolescent consumerist gullibility, and this is the ideology that Suicide Squad’s producer, Zack Snyder, is up against.

>They both (Snyder and Ayer) approach a childish genre like adults — and that’s what annoys the Marvel kids, whose bad rap on Suicide Squad has already gone viral.

>Think metaphorically again, and see that Suicide Squad entangles post-Vietnam and post-9/11 notions about heroism and citizenship. Deadshot does the right, patriotic thing, yet compliments Waller, his treacherous superior, saying, “That’s gangsta!” This use of hip-hop cynicism speaks more directly to modern confused ethics than most lines from other movies and most politicians. Suicide Squad is The Dirty Dozen for millennial viewers (and voters), who think their patriotic moral conflict is new.

Relax Eve, it's only a movie

its a movie
a movie about crazy and wacky superheros
I think you're taking it too seriously
it doesn't have some profound impact on society nor is it important
its just a piece of entertainment. a vice if anything.

that image is completely true though

and why does it have to be about picking sides you fucking retard? no such thing as a discussion with a neutral stance until further evidence is presented?
