“It’s so hard to get movies made, and in these big movies that get made — and it’s even starting to happen with the little ones, which is what’s really freaking me out — decisions are being made by committees, and art does not do well when it’s made by committee,” she added. “Films are made by a filmmaker and a team of artists around them. You cannot make art based on numbers and algorithms. My feeling has been for a long time that audiences are extremely smart, and executives have started to believe that they’re not. Audiences will always be able to sniff out bullshit. Even if films start to be made with AI, humans aren’t going to fucking want to see those.”
Birds of Prey remains the best film to come out of the DCEU and it’s a damn shame it’s been slept on.
Nah, James Gunn’s Suicide Squad blows it out of the water. It’s definitely one of the better ones though.
That movie was just fun as fuck. I went in with no expectations, and I came out wanting more Peachmaker, which we eventually got too which is also great.
Starring the best (and also the most humble) actress in the DCEU, too.
I thought it was insultingly boring. Sometimes very bad. None of it made sense and the editing/pacing was trash. HQ had some good moments though, and her performance was fun-ish. The Suicide Squad was better by a country mile IMO.
乁༼☯‿☯✿༽ㄏ
I thought it was worse than that even. It was so bad I turned it off halfway through it was so bad.
That’s an insanely low bar though.
I’ll have to check that one out. I enjoyed the second Suicide Squad that lead to the John Cena Peacemaker series. That was peak silly superhero to me.
