(repost from tumblr)

I’m gonna rant about this later, but I’ve been talking (ranting) with my roommate for like a solid hour after we saw the movie, and you know what I’m really stuck on right now?

The plot is that Rick Flag’s dick almost destroys the world.

The emotional investment we’re supposed to have in the movie? The movie’s plot?

Whether Rick Flag can keep sticking his dick in a specific woman or not.

That’s it. That’s the plot. That’s the driving emotional force in this movie. That’s the overarching plot of this ~~trainwreck~~ ~~mess~~ ~~poorly writtenscreenwriting 101 failure~~ film: Rick Flag is having fun with this lady … oh no, he has to stop having sex with her! … Will he ever be able to have sex with her again? … Looks like he can’t anymore, oh no! … Yay, he can keep having sex with this woman after all!” That’s the story arc.

I refuse to believe that the question of “will Harley get back together with her abuser?” is supposed to be the emotional investment in this film. I refuse to believe that. As bad as this movie was (and oh boy was it bad) I refuse to believe that was supposed to be our emotional investment.

The plot is that Rick Flag’s dick almost destroys the world.

I'm very disappointed about the Suicide Squad movie.

I feel insulted.

What I feel most insulted about is the very basic flaws to this film on a technical level. Terrible sound design, bad editing, inconsistent pacing, a total lack of character arcs, screenwriting 101 failures, and a complete lack of coherence. It really is as bad as the critics have told you.

This movie was just plain bad. Messy, badly written, the pacing was off. The cast was by and large pretty damn good (except for whatever the fuck Leto was doing, I'll get to that later) but they were given crap to work with and not shot well at all.

(On a lighter, happier note ...)

I am now addicted to this webseries. It's got short episodes, very funny jokes, great characters, and surrealism. Check it out if you've got the time!

Personally, I'm enjoying it more than The Guild. The production values aren't as high, but I can relate to it more because, well, I'm not a gamer, but I do go to comic book stores, read some comics (more and more now that I live closer to a comic book store) and all my friends are geeks.

(But shhhhhhhhh, don't let Felicia Day hear that I like something better than The Guild! I'd have to commit seppuku with my wooden stake if she heard that! She is my geeky goddess and I would love to worship at her feet. *swoons*)

Started going through Liō archives again, haven't checked out the comic for about three years or so, which is a shame.
Have come up with the best crack ship ever: Liō/Chell (when Lio is grown up, of course.) They're both adorable mutes living in insane worlds, for some reason I want to ship them now. Crackily. I think I should make a cracky fanmix for them or something ...

( Opinions ... I haz them. Also: SPOILERS FOR BOOKS 1-7 OF BUFFY SEASON 8! DO NOT READ UNLESS YOU'VE READ THOSE AND KNOW WHO TWILIGHT IS! )

( Mild spoilers for Volume 1 of Irredeemable. Mostly review and squee. )

I only regret that I have one life to give for Whalebone Lane!
