I'd go for a world without nukes, but until someone offs Putin and heavily changes the shithole that is North Korea, it's probably not really safe to do so.

No, they said we'd see more extreme weather globally more often and we have. Global warming is real, mmmkay. It happens without mankind, but man's bad habits are exacerbating and speeding it up.

No, what I'm opposed to are crook governments and swindler businesses blaming 'man' and using it to exert control and fleece us. So, ok, I get you drink the coolaid but FFS a majority of people don't believe in that shit enough to pay to fix it.
How about you stop burning energy using you computer you hypocrite, unplug, and save the polar bears. Liberalism has to be a brain disorder.
If you don't think carbon emissions - and all the other pollutants bring pumped out by industry aren't doing the planet - and thereby all life on it - grave harm then you're the one with the brain disorder. That's no surprise however as every right-wing extremist suffers majorly from cognitive dissonance. I probably do more for the environment in a day than you've done in a lifetime. Only idiots like you and your ilk have to take things to extremes with false equivalencies like we're hypocrites because we haven't gone back to living in caves, as if there were no happy medium. The execs for the major polluters out there thank you for your gullibility and stupidity. And what are you paying for? Red states far and away take the lion share of tax dollars. You and your ilk exist at the largess of those sane liberals you deride. Boy you sure don't have any problems with "socialism" when we're footing the bill do you? Talk about hypocrites.

The Cutter with more wagging and less barking, can we get more of that Cutter.
The science, a bad word for climate change deniers, is based on trends and the predictions of future changes are also trend based. If it snows at your house one day it does not mean climate change is false. |

| in case you weren't aware, rumor has it the execs freaked the fuck out because of BvS's negative reviews of its 'darkness' so they rechopped suicide squad. apparently the director's version was also pretty dark so they got the company that did the trailers to re-edit SS to give it more of an energetic tone. which, i'll admit, they succeeded in doing, but then turned it into a disjointed mess. so that's why the first half is basically an extended version of the trailers. |

Holy shit, was Suicide Squad bad. At one point about 2/3rds of the way through, Will Smith says "When will it end?" and I'm thinking "Yes, Will, when will this end??????????"
It really did feel like (matching reports of the last few days) it was sort of reordered/reedited. Joker shows up and then disappears for 40+ minutes, at one point...
i actually liked it. that story about it being re-edited to shit by the bigwigs really rings true. i felt like there was a really good movie in there but they chopped it up into fish bait.
it tried way too hard to be like the trailers with catchy songs behind montages for the entire first half of the film and a whole lotta stuff is explained unnecessarily out of order, like who the fuck the bad guys are.
but the scenes themselves and the acting were surprisingly good to me. i would gripe with harley's writing though - she tried a little too hard with the harley-isms, and her relationship with joker, frankly, wasn't fucked up enough. surprised how much i liked will smith as deadshot though. i'll be really interested to see the director's cut.
I'd agree with almost everything you wrote, other than I really didn't like the final product on screen. I could easily see the potential there, but something clearly went wrong along the way...
I have to wonder ho much they spent on the soundtrack, only to use 10-15 second snipits...
I enjoyed it, but it certainly had some problems. The story felt pretty disjointed at times as they struggled to establish characters and move the plot forward. Jared Leto's Joker came across like they didn't know what the hell to do except trying not to mimic Ledger's joker. Margot Robbie and Will Smith were the stand outs IMO, Robbie more so, but Smith carried scenes well enough. I liked the lady playing Waller too. If I watched this at home I probably would have taken a few breaks...
Funny you mention the music. All I could think of when it was happening was a bunch of execs going, 'Let's get a bunch of clips from songs people like and jam them right at the beginning. That'll keep them from walking out in the first few minutes.'

| Sandy was a hurricane in the Caribbean, briefly major, but borderline when it hit the US and downgraded soon after. Wind speed is the only factor for the official definition of major. |

Wiki
Hurricane Sandy (unofficially known as "Superstorm Sandy") was the deadliest and most destructive hurricane of the 2012 Atlantic hurricane season, and the second-costliest hurricane in United States history. Classified as the eighteenth named storm, tenth hurricane and second major hurricane of the year, Sandy was a Category 3 storm at its peak intensity when it made landfall in Cuba.[1] While it was a Category 2 storm off the coast of the Northeastern United States, the storm became the largest Atlantic hurricane on record (as measured by diameter, with winds spanning 1,100 miles (1,800 km)).[3][4] Estimates as of 2015 assessed damage to have been about $75 billion (2012 USD), a total surpassed only by Hurricane Katrina.[5] At least 233 people were killed along the path of the storm in eight countries.
A couple things.
1. Sandy didn't strike the US, it struck New Jersey. 
2. Also from WP:
The convection diminished while the hurricane accelerated toward the New Jersey coast,[28] and the hurricane was no longer tropical by 2100 UTC on October 29.[29] About 2 1/2 hours later, Sandy made landfall near Brigantine, New Jersey,[30] with winds of 80 mph (130 km/h).
So not a hurricane when it made landfall, but still destructive. Probably why they call it "superstorm" instead of "hurricane" |

Was that even a hurricane? IIRC it was just a tropical storm. Certainly not major, it just hit a major city not used to them, and where news organisations are based. |
