oh lord, alright, it's time. now seated for Suicide Squad (2016). watching the extended edition in hopes it's marginally better than the reputation of the theatrical cut (which btw i saw in 2016 and remember kinda enjoying, but it might've just been the pretty colors). anyway, let's fucking do this. just get through this and the next movie after it and we can have fun again for at least 3 movies watching Aquaman, Shazam! and the best movie DC has made.

also, despite all the ways WB fucked this movie, David Ayer is the only person besides James Gunn who has the sole credits for directing and writing a DCEU movie. every other movie has some collaborator but both the fucking Suicide Squad movies have no other writing or directing credits than Ayer and Gunn respectively.

Be careful of emotional music in movies and TV Shows.

By "be careful" I mean, when you're doing that thing I never stop talking about—you're trying to figure out why a moment in a story moved you—think about whether or not the story really set up and followed the moment through...or if they just threw a really emotional-sounding track/song over top of a rushed, cheap moment.

Like in the Vampire Diaries, or Suicide Squad, or an animated-streaming-movie. The characters will be saying something normal or maybe a bit cheesy to each other, the scene is about to end, and the storytellers don't have a good way to end it, so some song starts playing quietly under the dialogue. And suddenly you're feeling something, even though a second ago you were not that into it.

In the Vampire Diaries, it's usually The Fray. In Suicide Squad you'll get a punk-rock song as a new villains-enter-the-room scene starts...or several, every time a new scene starts.

In a streaming-budget musical, it might even be an original song with original lyrics that the characters are singing...

But pay attention! Music is one of the very easiest ways to engage a human's emotions. It's why influencers play inspirational piano music or covers of good movie soundtracks over what they're saying when they're trying to send out an encouraging message. It's why motivational speakers have a musical pad under everything they're saying. And yes, it's why movies use music, too.

And that is not a bad thing.

But what is bad is music that is used to try and make a moment impactful...but the story itself, and the characters in the scene, and the context of the scene, and sometimes even the lyrics of the song itself, can't support it.

The lyrics could be total crap—they could fail to fit the characters singing them, or the moment they're being sung during, at all—

—or it's an indie pop song that is actually about a friend with a drug addiction, but it's playing over, like, a scene where a young girl is saying "see you around" to the boy she has a crush on, so you feel all hyped emotionally.

It's cheap. It's silly. It's what Disney did in Wish (you knew this was coming, I've been on this topic for weeks)

Having Asha and Magnifico sing "At All Costs," which is a love song, to a room full of tangible bubbles makes zero sense. The song's lyrics only work if you're a pair of lovers declaring your devotion to each other—or, maybe, if you're a king and apprentice singing to actual people, not a room full of their daydreams. But!

The music is pretty. And it's literally engineered to be inspiring, and play with your heart strings. So you're sitting there going, "oh, wow, what a breathtaking magical song, I love it,"

but try and explain to me why you love it in connection to the story and there's nothing there.

Nothing that makes sense. You've just been emotionally manipulated by music. What you're really responding to is just the way the song sounds, and nothing else.

It's like the song (whether it's a musical number sung by the characters, or a piece of the score, or a pop song playing quietly in the background) is a beautiful set of curtains.

If you hang it up on a curtain rod, or even drape it artfully from the ceiling, it can do a lot for the space. It can make the place look bigger, or more comfortable, or show off the room's depth, or set off other pieces of furniture. It can even be a focal point.

But you know what the curtains need to do all that? A curtain rod. Something to be hung on!

If you just ball up the curtains and drop them in the center of the room, someone might walk in and go, "oh, are these curtains? They're pretty!" But you know what else they'll say? "Where are you going to put them? Why are they in the middle of the floor?" Because they don't belong there. The curtains are wasted on the floor.

Like a song that has no contextual meaning and is just laying in the scene like discarded curtains, arbitrarily playing with your emotions. Doesn't belong there; and what a waste!

So next time you really love a scene that has music in it at all, see what part the music plays.

If the lyrics make sense with the characters, if the story has reached a point where the song is all that's needed to accentuate the emotional depth that's already there, instead of creating it where it was lacking, then awesome. Now you can articulate what made you appreciate the song, so much better!

But if the lyrics made no sense with where the characters or the story was at; if it sounded pretty but didn't fit the scene; if it was the only emotional thing about the context of the scene—then it's not the story that you like. It's just the song, by itself. Add it to your Spotify playlist but don't say you loved that movie or that scene. You just loved that song.

Give credit where it's due instead of letting filmmakers trick you with cheap musical moments.

Everyone’s talking about Ryan Gosling’s Oscar nomination for ‘I’m Just Ken’ while Margot Robbie, Greta Gerwig, America Ferrera, and Billie Eilish got no nominations or mentions for their contributions, but I lost any and all respect for the Academy in 2017 when they gave the Oscar for Best Makeup and Hairstyling to Suicide Squad for a CGI/digitally rendered anthropomorphised crocodile and a girl with fake tattoos and split-dyed pony tails

over the extensive work that went into the makeup design and styling in Star Trek: Beyond. Hair and Makeup for Star Trek: Beyond did an incredible job creating alien looks and bringing them to life. Many of the alien looks had different stages/versions to show a human becoming alien and one was even mechanised to conceal something on the back of a crew member’s head because they wanted to use as little CGI as possible.

Seven years later, the Academy continues to disappoint.

one thing that's hilarious in suicide squad is waller saying harley quinn is "fearless" and then it immediately cuts to harley screaming and being scared of crashing into water bc she can't swim. what happened to the fearless thing. does this imply that waller doesn't think being scared of drowning counts as a fear. amazing storytelling guys

I know the Suicide Squad movies aren't exactly peak cinema, but I don't get how people can watch a movie where the US government takes a group of BIPOC and mentally ill inmates out of a high security prison and puts BOMBS IN THEIR HEADS to make them do the government's bidding and NOT see the metaphor for abuse in the American prison system.

And the entire soundtrack of 2016 SS is an incredibly straightforward commentary on domestic violence -- "You Don't Own Me" by SayGrace and "I Started A Joke" by ConfidentialMix and Becky Hanson -- lack of access to mental healthcare and the pipeline of generational poverty to criminal and/or gang violence -- "Sucka For Pain" by Lil Wayne and Wiz Kalifa. Like when was the last time y'all even bothered listening to the lyrics of "Heathens" by Twenty-One Pilots???
