Things Suicide Squad needs more of: plot and pants.

[Review] Suicide Squad
a progressively more drunken review by Jamus
So check this out. Dayna has asked me to do a review of DC’s recent movie Suicide Squad. The trouble is, given my tight schedule and other real-life distractions, she put a twist into the request and asked me to make a vocal recording for her to transcribe/stealth-edit into coherent text later. Plan is, I create this introduction and then stop it, and then proceed to go get trashed. This may take a few…hours, minutes, whatever. It’s going to take some time. But when I have done that, I’ll come back and finish this.
Okay, great.
Here we go.
Don’t try this at home, kids.

[#366Flicks] I like the beats and the shouting.
Minor spoiler alert right at the top, I’ll mention plot points from Star Trek: Beyond that some may consider a “Big Deal” but nothing that isn’t in any of the trailers. You see, this third entry into the modern movie universe of Star Trek takes our bold crew through a rite of passage that all eventually must go through. It’s a time honored tradition that was inevitable.
[#366Flicks] Salty parabolas.
There is no reason for the cast of the new Ghostbusters to be women.
How’s THAT for an inflammatory clickbait headline? Man, if only I had this arranged in a list, complete with one entry that will AMAZE you, I’d be writing BuzzFeed gold. Ahhh, good times.
No, but really, stay with me on this. And you better not be afraid of no spoilers.
[#366Flicks] Don’t eat the settlers that died of dysentery.
You’re living in the old west. Your dust ball of a town is barely getting by. You’re trying to make a life for yourself. That is, of course, if bandits or diseases don’t steal it from you. And then, consarnit it all to heck, you’re attacked by brutal cannibalistic not-quite-human savages.
Who ya gonna call?
Kurt Russell’s majestic flowing whiskers of course!
[Review] Ghostbusters (2016)
written by Kate Danvers
A mildly funny, mediocre, and cynical attempt to cash in on the popularity of the original film.
But enough about Ghostbusters 2, let’s talk about Ghostbusters (2016).

[#366Flicks] If art imitates life then we’re in trouble.
Today I’ll be focusing on two movies. One is about a government conspiracy meant to help those in power gain more power by systematically targeting the minorities of the populace and fostering tension and fear between different racial and social demographics, the other is The Purge: Election Year.
Minor spoilers ahoy for both movies.
[#366Flicks] Behold, the national animal of Scotland.
Once again demonstrating his many skills, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson convinces me of something I’d never think of him. I completely believe that The Rock, the People’s Champ, dropper of the People’s Elbow, charismatic eyebrow raiser extraordinaire, is a complete dork who is socially awkward, has no friends, and has body image issues.
Basically he’s me, only less handsome.
(Minor spoilers below for Central Intelligence.)
[#366Flicks] The fat lady has sung.
We will not quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight! We’re going to live on! We’re going to survive! Today…we suffer a crappy sequel trying to play on our nostalgia!
[#366Flicks] Rhyme time.
With Muhammed Ali recently passing away I took the opportunity to watch Michael Mann’s biopic starring Will Smith, Ali. (You don’t have to die for me to blog about you, I swear.)
