Suicide Squad (David Ayer, 2016) Movie • Page 6

Haven't seen those articles but would love it if that was the case, such a great story!

 

Doesn't sound like it at all. That story is very fresh too, so I'm not sure how that would work.

 

Yeah, from what I've read about it, it doesn't sound like they're taking story elements from it. Maybe that one scene really is more of a visual homage than anything.

 

The stories about Heath were much different before his death.

 

with lex sending people jars of piss and the joker sending people used condoms, is darkseid just gonna throw a bag of poop at the justice league

 

Cherry bombs in their mailboxes.

 

It's a little insulting how they've been blatantly trying to recreate the buzz around Ledger's Joker.

The on-set therapist was borderline ridiculous, especially now that they're trying to market it as "light and fun."

 

Yeah, Heath locked himself in a hotel room for a month and wrote in a diary -- don't think he sent anyone dead animals and bodily fluids.

 

I honestly didn't hear anything about TDK until it came out

But then I also didn't know Batman Begins existed until my family went to see it, so I guess I wasnt really following stuff back then

 

Oh different approaches for sure but both drastic ones none the less designed to put them in the special mindset needed for the role of Joker... or that's how I always took it...

 

Sure if Jared Leto's idea of the Joker is the same as a 14 year old boy who plays a ton of GTAV and loves Daniel Tosh

 

I always felt like, both before and after his death, Heath's preparation for the character was talked about with respect. Whereas Leto is basically being heralded for behaving like a 14 year old gamergate enthusiast

 

How much of Ledger's preparation came out BEFORE he died? I don't even think he was alive to see the release of TDK.

 

I honestly don't remember. Either way though, it doesn't change that Leto crossed the line into disgusting and disrespectful territory

 

Ayer discusses how much Batfleck is in the film and when the film takes place (pre BvS or after)

Suicide Squad Director On How Much Batman Is In The Film

 

I'd be excited about a bunch of time jumps because there's such rich history between the characters & well, more Batman is something I'm never unhappy about. Also, makes sense why none of us could figure out the continuity based on the trailer haha

 

Why are people so abhorrently condemning what Leto did? Do you think he actually took each condom, wore them, fucked other people, then sent them to co workers? I'm sure they were opened, and maybe even tampered with, but it's all for the hype of the movie. If a friend of yours jokingly gave you something like this, you say gross! ew! what the hell is wrong with you? And then you go on living. Not seeing this movie over some method acting is the most ridiculous thing i've read today.

 

I'm not so much "abhorrently condemning" it as thinking its outrageously dumb and makes Leto come off as an insufferable douche who is far from good enough an actor to put up with this bullshit

 

I really don't see anything wrong with what Leto did. I don't know him personally or worked with him on this movie. I am not on the inside, so my opinion doesn't shift one way or the other. Perhaps it was an inside joke that I couldn't possibly get or all the other actors were disgusted by it. But sitting behind my computer screen reading about it doesn't give me much insight or context.

 

Chip Zdarsky is a gift to us all

 

You know what, I'll give Leto a little credit. His Joker seems to me like if 4chan came to life, and I don't know if anything is more disturbing and terrifying than that

 

I don't know him personally, but whatever his method is seems to work fine. Very few movies say otherwise.


30stm, that is a different story.
