weird how ahead of its time that movie was

in the sense that it's better than every superhero movie released after it, sure

The Tick cartoon did everything Mystery Men was trying to do better and funnier.

Mystery Men does not hold up

Mystery Men was bad when it came out

Mystery Men was trailblazing in the sense that it was the very first of the thousands of movies that have featured Smashmouth's "All Star"

apparently it also appeared in the Matthew Broderick Inspector Gadget which was released a month prior, although it obviously owes its ubiquity to its appearance on the Shrek soundtrack

it owes its ubiquity to being the greatest song ever recorded

what is the 2016 equivalent of "all star" for suicide squad
perhaps something by adam lambert

that's surprising, there was a whole soundtrack tie-in with "All Star" and Mystery Men, cast of the movie in the video and all

I still like Mystery Men

Last time I caught some of it I was struck by how incredibly long it was.

Cassanova Frankenstein is one of my alltime favorite comedy names, second only to Arsenio Billingham.

I never actually saw Mystery Men, which is odd considering how much I like the cast

It's not bad and it has some laughs but it doesn't hold a candle to its source material.

Come to think of it, this era of wacky comic adaptations might be the prime time for Burden to start a push for a Flaming Carrot film.

Or maybe scratch that, as I can very easily imagine a Flaming Carrot film being terrible.

it doesn't hold a candle to its source material.

no argument here cuz man do I love me some Flaming Carrot. It's one of those things that I'm surprised got made at all and I hope it made Burden a ton of money.

I assume MM got made precisely because FC as a character would be a pretty hard sell visually in the film-world

Flaming Carrot is one of the funniest comics I've ever read. And it still holds up.

"They cloned Hitler's feet!"

holy cow: http://www.amazon.com/Flaming-Carrot-Comics-Mystery-Collected/dp/1569712638 is this stuff really all out of print/unavailable? :(

it hasn't been fashionable in forever so that's not too surprising to me. he made so goddamn many pages of comics!

Oh way, Free Comic Book Day is tmrw, maybe the local shop will have a trade on sale

Why does Will Smith look like shaft with a cowboy hat?

I just realized that the new Joker is like literally

is this a Faygo advert

That's so much worse than the Joker photo

Harley Quinn looks like the people who hand out shots at Rockstar Mayhem fest.

everybody else look like either extras from Battlefield Earth or ex-members of Hollywood Undead.

Will Smith actually is the best in the pic

I mean that pic screams "1999" to me

lol but always good to see adewale akinnuoye-agbaje tbh

Glossy Slipknot

One way or another this is going to be incredible

they look like six flags employees on halloween night, good planning

man the Atlanta Braves really do have a new look in 2015

Time Warner really doesn't seem to get how to do this

O____O

Clive Barker's Suicide Squad

Cenobite deez nuts

ilx is the place I come to to escape the deez nuts

wellllllllll good luck with that

I'm sure style and visual design is one of many categories this film will fail miserably at.

but after seeing the Batman v Superman trailer and knowing Zak Snyder that one will probably be more aggravating

Harkness' ankle boomerang holster duct-taped to his leg seems an interesting choice.

Here's Deadshot's mask, which will be see on screen for what, 15 seconds?

Disappointed that there's no yellow in his costume, but the muted crimson banana clips are nice.

I'm still curious whether Will Smith will play him as Floyd Lawton or as Will Smith, but I ain't holding my breath. At this point, if the flick gets more people interested in and reading and flowing some small royalty stream to Ostrander et al for 80's Suicide Squad, it'll be good enough.

Also, movie-Harley's outfit is far less stupid than her current Nu52 get-up, at least.

under Diane Nelson?

and yup, that's a quote from John 14:6 on his costume & his rifle– 'Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.'

(depending on yer preferred translation)

under Diane Nelson?

I don't know, I'm grabbing at straws here.

xp are you kidding me...
