Re: Batman Vs Superman, And Oh Yeah, Suicide Squad: Movies Thread
I finally watched Straight Outta Compton. Great movie and it forced me to go back and read up on the guys some more. I had forgotten how much of an influence Suge Knight was at that time on Dr. Dre leaving the band. And then Heller says he made a mistake in talking Eazy-E out of killing Suge...****! Great acting and a great story, and it's the story of many artists unfortunately. Grow up poor, have a **** ton of talent, a manager takes you on you make it big and you see very little of your money. Heller still can't explain where the money went! Priority records as well, the record industry are vampires.
As to Joy - I agree it sucked. Went to see it with my fiance and it was, along with Foxcatcher, one of the worst movies I've seen in the past 2 years. I think the only reason to green light a movie like that is they somehow convinced Bobby D and Bradley Cooper to be in it.
and speaking of Bobby D...Martin Scorsese got the funding to make the movie The Irishman, based on the book "I Heard You Paint Houses" - GREAT GREAT book. Robert DeNiro, Joe Pesci, Al Pacino and I think Harvey Keitel will all be in this one...REALLY looking forward to it
