6 Suicide Squad Sequel Recruits
Despite the negative reviews that are already flooding onto the Internet, I’m still excited for Suicide Squad this weekend. It’s an exciting cast of crazy comic book characters and some potentially electric comedy and action. Or maybe it’ll be a stinker. I dunno. I’m not a psychic! But I am going to predict Suicide Squad will at least get a sequel!
The calm before the crappy movie storm
If it doesn’t get a sequel, then this list will be worthless. But I’m going to power ahead anyway and still buy my ticket tomorrow night. I like playing with comic book characters and I like pretending somebody cares about my thoughts on big time Hollywood movies. That’s a dangerous combination any day of the week, but it’s doubly crazy here on the Internet. If I’m not careful, I might cast the entire DCCU while I’m at it!
Feel free to share some of your potential sequel recruits in the comments!
Quentin Tarantino’s Suicide Squad
At long last, Suicide Squad comes out this week, and I am excited! It looks good, seems funny, and this has been an otherwise lukewarm movie season. And speaking of Suicide Squad, how about a nice parody on Youtube?
Produced by Loot Crate Productions, these is a pretty nifty little video. Good way to start a Monday!

6 Things I Want to See in the New Ghostbusters Franchise
I was a fan of the new Ghostbusters remake. A friend of mine was such a big fan that she’s seen it three times already! I don’t know the final numbers, but I would say it’s a relatively solid success and not the utter flop that the haters hoped for. I hope this means we’re looking at a new, revived Ghostbusters franchise.
Bustin’ makes me feel good
So what comes next? A sequel, hopefully. Perhaps even a trilogy. The action figures are selling well, and I might pick up one or two myself. I’ve definitely got my eye on that new LEGO Ecto-1. And one hopes that Halloween will be huge this year for little girl Ghostbusters! Elsa and Frozen had their day!
I am totally on board with making this a big, awesome adventure. And there are a few things I’d like to see from the franchise going forward.
How X-Men: Apocalypse Should Have Ended
I never got around to reviewing X-Men: Apocalypse. I enjoyed the film on a purely nostalgic level, seeing the X-Men characters be kind of awesome. But the movie itself wasn’t all that great. Still, it’s good for comedy!
This one might have the best alternate ending ever! Though hopefully Deadpool doesn’t insert himself in every video the HISHE people do from now on. Though this one was apparently written by fan submission!

Brie Larson is Captain Marvel!
The casting announcement we’ve all been waiting for was finally announced at Comic-Con Saturday night: Captain Marvel will be played by actor Brie Larson! Her movie won’t come out until 20-freakin’-19, but it’s still pretty cool to finally have the role cast. Hopefully we’ll see her cameo in an upcoming flick, like the first Infinity War movie.
The resemblance is uncanny!
Unfortunately, I don’t know very much about Brie Larson. I’ve never seen Room, so I only really know her from her small role in Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, which was a fine role, but probably doesn’t show off her acting chops very much. Still, I love Captain Marvel, so here’s to finally knowing this solid casting.
Now they just need to cast Ms. Marvel
Here’s hoping 2019 will get here soon rather than later…though I’ll be freakin’ 35-years-old by then. Jeez louise…
