‘Suicide Squad 2’ being written and directed by Gavin O’Connor, for whatever that’s worth
Suicide Squad 2 has finally found its director. As well as its writer! The gentlefolk who will be taking over both duties is none other than Gavin O’Connor. The aforementioned O’Connor directed last year’s The Accountant, which I never saw. But seemed enjoyable enough to me.
I know, pretty underwhelming response from me. I’m just tired, and can’t manage yet another tits-sizzling DCU hot take.

Colin Trevorrow is no longer directing ‘Star Wars: Episode IX’. Praise the Force
Pretty much no one I knew, including myself, was happy with Colin Trevorrow directing Episode IX. Don’t wanna kick someone when they’re down, yadda yadda. But, I’m thrilled with this news.
The ‘It’ sequel is going to explore the novel’s more “transdimensional” elements. Whatever that means, dude
I don’t know much about It. Never read it. Never seen the original movie. I *do* know that the novel’s latest adaptation is intended to take place across two movies. The second of which will apparently take on a more “transdimensional” quality. This news probably means something to you King fanatics and fans of the original adaptation. But to me? I ain’t got a fucking clue.
‘Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds’ has sold 10 million copies, including 2 million in the past two weeks. I say, g’damn!
I don’t play PUBG, but that’s only because I don’t have a gaming PC. I do, however, watch a lot of it on Twitch. Which is saying something, because no other game being streamed has ever really caught my attention. Its appeal is the result of being a flagrant Battle Royale/Hunger Games rip-off. However, it’s not just a rip-off (or a wet-tongued homage, if you prefer), it’s also a colossal fucking success.
‘Bond 25’ rumored plot sounds like Bond going full-on ‘Taken’ and also sort of overdone
How many times has Daniel Craig “quit” the service in his fucking Bond movies? I’m losing track. That said, prepare yourself. If rumors are to be believed, he’ll be doing it again in Bond 25. Then, going full Taken to avenge his dead ass wife.
John Cena is frontrunner for ‘Shazam’ lead. Let’s not play around, get this done
John Cena is the frontrunner to play the lead in DC’s Shazam movie. There’s some other jabroni also in contention, but let’s just focus on the positive here. Cena is literally an overgrown, pumped-up man child. This casting is so fucking obvious. Additionally, let’s not fucking forget if Cena is cast, dude will be feuding with The Rock’s fucking Black Adam.
Please. Make this happen.
‘Wonder Woman’ has become the 5th highest grossing superhero movie of all time
I’m torn between being really happy that Wonder Woman is making all sorts of fucking money, and wanting to point that the movie is fun and enjoyable, but absolutely falls apart at the end. I, I guess I just successfully expressed both sentiments.
‘Stardew Valley’ publisher teases their ‘Stardew Valley meets Harry Potter’ game with magical new image
MAGICAL. NEW. IMAGE. A fucking fun pun to end all pun fun. Yee. Haw! I don’t know, I haven’t played Stardew Valley, but I want to. Probably never will, given the current climate of my gaming backlog and the geopolitical sphere. If North Korean nukes don’t prevent me, then having to play through all the titles moaning at me will.
But! This new teaser is cute.
Jeph Loeb says ABC is the “mothership” for Marvel TV which is a shame wrapped in a crapped diaper
Who are kidding here, Jeph Loeb? Even if you’re a fan of Agents of Shield, and I’ll admit I’ve heard it’s good but haven’t mustered the motivation to watch it, I have a hard time accepting you believe this. I mean, Inhumans seems like a dumpster fire, and the Netflix shows just seem…better?
Monday Morning Commute: Moonrock and Roll
Y’can set out to crack the moonrocks a hundred times – hell, a hundred thousand times – and it’ll never stop bein’ awe-induncin’. Here I am, Earthborn Nobody, crackin’ rocks on the moon. The fuckin’ moon! And y’look down at that chubby blue dot and get weak in the knees when y’think of all the beauty goin’ on down there.
First kisses and guitar lessons and autumn breezes coolin’ the backs of necks that’ve been sweatin’ all damn summer.
And y’just get enough strength back in y’knees to keep standin’ – hell, I’ll be honest, in normal gravity I’d probably have to have me a good five minute sit-and-cry – and y’get back to work, aimin’ y’pneumatic pickaxe at big clumps of lunar basalt and turnin’ `em into small clumps of lunar basalt. And then Charlie or Connie or Debbie or Dan’ll come on by to gather up whatever it is y’managed to crack, and then they’ll go on and rover `em over to the sortin’ station.
And that’s when y’take another minute or ten to yourself, to catch y’breath and think `bout how y’ain’t winded `cause of the work but `cause of the sight of that blue wonder in front of you, and y’know that it’s real and honest down there. And hell, y’know that y’took this goddamn job `cause you’re jus’ tryin’ to get by and y’know y’probably goin’ to die just as broke and untethered – maybe even more broke and more untethered – than when y’started the gig, but goddamn it y’gettin’ to see somethin’ most never even think to imagine.
To see humanity itself from the outside, to bear witness, it’s a fuckin’ gift. To look down and see the whole thing unfoldin’ before y’eyes, it’s overwhelmin’. Beautifully overwhelmin’. Typhoons and military coups and hands takin’ food out of hungry mouths? Sure, y’can’t deny it. But there’s also love letters and reunions and movie theaters and acts of forgiveness and comfortin’ sunsets watched from hospice windows durin’ final moments.
And honestly? I got no clue how it’ll all shake out in the end for us, no goddamn clue if the ledger’ll be red or black.
So I jus’ crack as many moonrocks as I can, bask in the fact that I even get to take part in this thing, and do my good goddamn best to just roll with it.

This is the MONDAY MORNING COMMUTE!
What you just read was nonsense from my brain. In order to create that sort of nonsense, I need to make sure that my brain is filled with other nonsense. So! I’m going to describe some of the nonsense I’ll be checking out this week, and then you hit up the comments and share what nonsense you’ll be consuming.
Nonsense! Nonsense! Nonsense!
3! 2! 1! Let’s go!
