Suicide Squad (2016) After a much-needed hiatus I returned to the DCEU and continue to be amazed; its not just that every film so far has been awful, its that they're all awful in different ways. This particular mess has too many characters, introduces most of them twice, has a stupid, nonsensical plot, crappy world building, awful action and meme worthy dialogue the likes of which is now imfamously terrible (THIS IS KATANA! SHE HAS MY BACK!...etc)
It's just relentlessly awful.
Next up: Wonder Woman.

Go right ahead and skip Birds of Prey if you’ve not watched it yet. SS is excellent in comparison.
Skanky Vamp
Go right ahead and skip Wonder Woman 1984 when you get to it. SS is excellent in comparison. WW is not bad though.
The Bronze
Go right ahead and skip Black Adam...

What a complete mess of a film that was. Still can’t believe that they took Cass, removed every single interesting thing about her character, and then just threw her name onto a juvenile delinquent.
2 hours of awful Harley Quinn fan fic

Since Spanky finally got Buffy Summers Netflix password he's watching the Watcher so he can correct everyone's opinion on the quality of the ending.

After Spanky has spent the past several days reviewing the tv show (again, thanks for letting him use your password and not having to actually pay to watch it) he has come to the conclusion he is happy you let him use your password so he didn't have to actually pay to watch it.
A good cast squandered. I did not ahead of time know it was a Murphy project. It felt like the typical Ryan Murphy joint and in many ways it played out like the typical Ryan Murphy joint. Suffice to say there were a ton of loopholes, busted plot lines and eye-rolling moments, however the Murphyishness of it was toned down so those moments weren't entertaining madcap romps, but just cringe. A whole lot of cringe.
That being said, after knowing it was a Murphy joint a certain type of ending was to be expected. The ending actually subverted expectations in its ambiguity; so to Spanky that was actually the most surprising and pleasing thing. Would not say it was cool, per se, more refreshing.

Euphoria S1 Ep 7 - The Trials and Tribulations of Trying to Pee While Depressed
Just a great episode with my S1 faves Rue, Jules and Cassie; and their social circle sprinkled throughout.
The funniest (and very empathetic) sequence of the whole show is in this episode too. -Manic Rue

Oblivion (2013)
Starring the great Tom Cruise, as well as the iconoclastic Morgan Freeman in a supporting role, Oblivion is a suspenseful science fiction film that received a surprisingly lukewarm reception from critics when it released. The film is directed by Joseph Kosinski, who previously directed Tron: Legacy, another highly underrated film I love that's become something of a cult classic. (Ironic that the one actually good and original IP Disney is responsible for is the one they refuse to make new movies for.) It seems Kosinski makes films that win over audiences moreso than critics.
Though I vaguely remember seeing the trailer when the film came out, the movie was completely foreign to me till I decided to check it out today on hulu.
And wow, what an experience. The plot is engaging and the script is really well-written. It's the kind of the stuff that had me on the edge of my seat. The fact that the story revolves around primarily 3 main characters and no one else, only further immerses you in this isolating reality where the world you know is gone, and you're witnessing the lowly chronicles of Earth's final 2 occupants, the drones' maintenance crew. Although a couple of the plot twists I kind of suspected earlier on, (the trailer does give a bit of it away, so you're better off going into the movie blind) there were still a few twists that really caught me off guard. I wouldn't be surprised either if the film were adapted from a book, because there are some subtle elements of literary symbolism present.
This is a film with great pacing, too. Plenty of action when it is called for, but just as many if not more slower moments of serene solitude, reflecting on events and giving time to both the audience and the character to process, even ponder what has happened.
Some of the early part of the movie felt a bit like a video game, but not in a bad way. I think that says more about how a lot of games by 2013 had pretty much become movies.
Cruise and the rest of the cast deliver great performances in all their roles, and there were definitely a few moments that had me tearing up a bit.
The cinematography, soundtrack, and special effects are all fantastic too. The sets, spaceships, explosions, etc. all look very convincing, and at many times I was in awe of how picturesque several of the shots were.
There are moments that harken to other great science fiction stories, such as The Matrix or Fahrenheit 451, but these are oblique parallelisms at best, not a recombination of derivative ideas.
Oblivion is fundamentally a story of discovery, curiosity, and rebirth; of the eternal soul that represents a man's identity, and the love that cannot die when he does; a story of the vindication of free will over the determinism of protocol, authority, and the mechanized world.
