Suicide Squad

Last night was pretty quiet. I did some reading and some writing.

The new issue of Sight and Sound magazine came in the mail this morning, it had a feature about actress Isabelle Huppert, a piece about the early career of Ingrid Bergman and an interview with Pedro Almodovar.

I went out this afternoon and saw the movie Suicide Squad. It's set in the DC Comics Universe, where, following the events of Batman vs. Superman the US Government decide to form a taskforce of the most powerful "metahuman" (superpowered) criminals in order to combat any future alien or supervillain threat. It's had really bad reviews from almost everywhere, but I quite enjoyed it. It's kind of a mess and tries to be several different things at once, but it had some great moments and was never boring.
