SQWAD

My oldest daughter and I went to see "Suicide Squad" on Sunday. Thought that it was going to be a rough day after my lady let it slip to my youngest that we were going to see a "Harley Quinn" movie. It was a slip of mind saying it that way, and lead to a small freak out. Why? Well, the baby of our SQWAD is named Harleigh Quinn. And even with the femme form of the first name, she is a blonde haired, blue eyed, super smart, and just as strong version of the character. Had to kind of lie to her, saying it is "Suicide Squad" and not "Harley Quinn". Luckily, she is only 3 (going on 4 this Halloween) and bought it.

Now, this isn't going to be a review really. I loved it. Period. I will say that everyone in this movie brought their A Game and it showed. I would love to see some spin-offs or appearances in other franchises in this movieverse for sure. Clearly a fan of The Joker and Harley Quinn, so seeing even more of them is on my wishlist.
It was action packed, entertaining, and the story was pretty good. I can see where some may poke fun, but to me it was DC Comics all-Villain version of Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy. A cast of characters with backstories to tell, and like I said, they did that well. Even my only concern going into it, which was Will Smith, was put to rest. Haven't cared much for his performances the last few years, it became a "I am aware I am watching Will Smith play something". This time around though, I wasn't. I was watching Floyd Lawton doing his thing as Deadshot. I liked it so much, that I would be very open to seeing more of the former Fresh Prince shooting stuff flawlessly.
I am itching to go see it again, and I will be next weekend as part of my anniversary with my lady. Now it is a week of quotes while trying to not play spoiler, even though she likely would remember.

Even when I am done seeing it for a second time, I will left anxiously waiting for the digital and Blu-Ray releases. I know that opening weekend just ended, but, are we there yet?

TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT! THE FLASH SPEEDS ONTO TELEVISION

Although I am not an avid read of the Scarlet Speedster, I am a fan and have been looking forward to this since before even "Arrow" came to be. In a sense. I was a huge fan of the short lived series as a kid, and still am a bit confused as to why "The Flash" didn't survive in the 90's. Regardless, here we are about to debut a new series tonight, and things looked good before they even started. The episodes last season in "Arrow" were pretty good, and that was without there being The Flash yet appearing, just Grant Gustin playing Barry Allen. Add in all the photo stills and trailers that have been appearing since production began, things are looking better than good, they looking to be possibly epic. Of course, we will have to see if the story and acting are up to par, but then again I am sure there were the same reservations when "Arrow" began.

Like I said, not an avid reader of The Flash, but I am hoping to see certain characters appear from his rogues gallery. Captain Cold for starters, and I may catch heat for this, but I hoping he is more like the New 52 comic book version. At least style wise, as I like the updated look of Leonard Snart. It's*ahem* cool. I also hope to see Captain Boomerang, Mirror Master, and Professor Zoom (that episode should be really good visually). However, I am curious if we will ever see Gorilla Grodd make an appearance. If this was a movie, then there would be no doubt about it. Look at how well things look in the current Planet Of The Apes series on the big screen. It could be possible for the television series, it isn't as though they are forbidden from using CGI, it is just the budget doesn't usually have the room for it. And with all the zooming around, perhaps there isn't the room, but then again, perhaps there is.

Getting ahead of myself talking about CGI usage and such, when at this moment, it is all on the direction and quality of both the writing and the acting abilities of the cast. I would like to think that they will be able to do as well as "Arrow" has done, but it isn't a guarantee. It is hard not to talk about how awesome the cross-overs could be, but I guess we will find out if The Flash can live up to the hype tonight. Here's hoping it is not only better than the original series in the 1990's, but that it also survives those dreaded ratings.
