Just watched out of the two suicide sqads this is probably the best of the two it's got one thing that's missing from the first one it's more violent and gory and it's got a shark played by sty stallone can't believe that last one. Of course harley quinn still there being my favourite character from the first one plus the return of Rick flag and amanda waller. And there's Peter Capadi channeling malcolm tucker instead of doctor who which was funny. anyway entertaining couple of hours

"I thought this movie was mind-blowing. It’s a western and a morality play. It was everything. And of course [Toshiro] Mifune was so unbelievable. That impressed me for my whole childhood. It’s black and white but I remember it in color, which is weird. There’s another film — the Japanese films had a big effect on me. There’s a movie called Mishima, and this was about a suicide in Tokyo. Some movies are inextricably bound to a kind of era of expression and that’s another one from that same era."

"I’ve mixed colors, painted and drawn with many lines of Rilke’s poetry circulating in my head — lines like, “and there were even bits of eternity in my intestines,” from “The Song of the Suicide.” I’ve made several bodies of work in recent years thinking about visualizing the line, “And one sees to the bottom of time.” Rilke’s “The Book of Images” and “Duino Elegies” are great companions. It’s the visceral, intense and mysterious quality to his words that hang in the air around my studio. “To work is to live without dying” was Rilke’s motto."

When Lenny decides to commit suicide he calls in his priest, Barnaby Johnson, to be there for him at the end. All Barnaby can do is pray for him. That simple act of doing nothing more than being there seems to sum up Barnaby's life. By handing us a mixed-up time line, Gale reveals all the various sides of a group of people and their stories in a both subtle and effective way.

Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn was undoubtedly the best thing in the mediocre 'Suicide Squad'. How you take to her livewire, hyperactive and at times a tad grating character will depend on how much you enjoy this spin off. Luckily I thought there was a good balance of action and humour here and plenty of entertainment to be found in Quinn's amusing narration and her interactions with the other Birds. It's got its faults certainly particularly in Ewan McGregor's hammy over the top villain but it's still worth a watch for Robbie's performance.
