@Sam:
Bit late to the show but…
Watched "Suicide Squad" for the first time the other night. What were they trying to do with it? I'm not sure I enjoyed a single scene (Although seeing areas of Toronto I know really well was kinda entertaining). I watched the extended cut too in the hope that it would be more coherent but nah... it flopped around all over the place. Anyone want to help me understand it a bit better?Sam
I agree with you. Shockingly bad.

what was your take away from Gleason @den1mhead?
with your background I'm interested.
watched a 2015 film named Anesthesia a little heavy handed in some parts but it was a good what's the meaning of life type of film.@madmonday - My take on Gleason; Gleason is the story of a dysfunctional relationship between a boy and his father where the boys need for love, approval, acceptance, praise, recognition etc are not consistently being met by the father, if at all. This leads the boy to become self sufficient, relying less and less on his father, and striving to be the best he can where, through his success, he receives all that he wanted from his father but now from his adoring colleagues & fans. His wife then effectively meets his needs going forward, through his retirement from the game, post ALS diagnosis and the birth of their son. However, whilst his disease is progressing the increasing needs of his young son are leaving his wife less available for Gleason. Gleason then dives into fund raising which, for a time, meets his needs for love, approval, acceptance, praise, recognition etc until he realises these fund raising activities are affecting his relationships with his wife and son. Finally realising this he pull back from fund raising and re-focuses his love and attention on his wife and kid.

If anyone wants to see how the ending of Rogue One fits into the start of Star Wars, then take a look at this. Needless to say, spoilers are involved.
Like @Dion, I preferred Rogue One to Episode VII.
I'm a bit concerned that Star Wars is going to get overexposed, and too corporate, in the same way that Marvel has been. But, weirdly, I'm looking forward to the Han Solo movie, if only because Lord and Miller have a history of making unappealing prospects awesome.
