Lou_Cypher;9268335 said:No, Jared Leto Did Not Say "F**k 'Em!" To WB Regarding SUICIDE SQUAD Or Playing The Joker Again
In what should be unsurprising news, the original account owner of the Tumblr page which set the comic book movie community afire yesterday with reports that Jared Leto told attendees at his music camp (Camp Mars) that he felt tricked into joining Suicide Squad and that he might not reprise the role of the Joker has now clarified their Tumblr post with the following:
1) I think it’s highly problematic a media outlet such way [sic] Batman-News.com is sourcing someone’s impressions posted on a tumblr account as some sort of fact – when no direct quotes from Jared were ever posted.
2) The 9 second “[frick] em” snapchat video had been posted identifying that that was Jared’s response to his contract asking he not rock climb while filming. That was all it was in regards to. If a media outlet wants to take it out of context to get people to click on an article that has no direct basis beyond someone’s impressions – that’s on them.
3) It’s no secret Jared feels disappointed in what ended up being the theatrical release of Suicide Squad. He’s discussed this repeatedly in interviews during the promotional tour in London. This is the same sentiment he shared in moments during Camp Mars – however he did say he had a lot of fun creating the joker and needs more joker as well.
4) I never meant or wanted my impressions over hearing Jared’s disappointments in the Suicide Squad editing to be taken out of context. It was interesting to hear him be so honest and open and while I captured 16 seconds of that particular moment on snapchat and shared it – there were dozens of people in that room videotaping minutes and possibly the entire event – as a request had never been made to not record it.
If that request had been made – I never would’ve recorded a second of it. I personally just really loved his vibe in that second, being about following his passions no matter what, that I wanted to share it.
The fact this has happened has made me very apprehensive over sharing any additional impressions or thoughts on Camp Mars. Which is unfortunate because it was a very entertaining weekend, Jared was lovely & lively, and I wanted to discuss so much.
Even in the original post, the only verifiable information was a video where Jared Leto was asked about whether he felt concern over "blatantly breaking his Suicide Squad contract by doing dangerous activities such as rock climbing" and his short response was ""F**k 'Em" but it was clearly meant to be a humorous moment, Leto was smiling and clearly not serious. The rest of the post, regarding Leto's thoughts about being tricked and being unsure about returning to play the Joker was pure conjecture and has now been debunked.
The original reports first surfaced on the popular genre website, Batman-News.com before spreading to other outlets. However, it was quickly questioned.

Watch everyone ignore this and 5 years from now still say "Remember when Leto said 'fuck WB' after one film?"

The movie industry isn't like the music industry. If a movie is garbage, 9 times out of 10 it will not do good at the box office. At best, it will break even.
In that regard, numbers to count for something.

Franchises about space robots and vampire/werewolf love triangle. Maybe I'm weird, but this shit is fantastical madness anyway. People's favorite toys fought. Teenage girls got sparkly vampires.
The problem all these people have with Transformers, Twilight, and Suicide Squad is they've outgrown the source material or were not fans in the first place. Yes, sometimes the stuff transcends the rose-tinted glasses of youth and is great cinema like the first Avengers. Other times, it is what it is like Avengers 2, Iron Man 2 & 3, Suicide Squad, BvS: comic book movies.
The only people calling this stuff wack are mainly people who can't reconcile their childlike expectations with their adult pragmatism. A movie comprised of B-Z list comic characters wasn't Scorsese? I am. FUCKING. Shocked. For what it was, I was entertained and don't regret the fifteen I dropped to see it.
Hell, I even liked the remix of Joker frying Harley's brain with electroshock therapy and then dumping her ass in the Ace Chemicals vat to make her nuts over the "He smooth talks her into insanity" bit the comics/cartoon went with.

Lol what does childhood nostalgia has to do with a shit plot and terrible pacing and the majority of the squad just being filler.

Now give me at least twenty other examples.
I said 9 times out of 10. Do you know how many movies coming out over the course of a year?

So all of those high quality movies that don't do $120 million first week are now wack? Plus, you do realize that the people in the consensus bought tickets. Ticket sales are a product of marketing and/or branding. DC is one of the strongest brands in America with the IP they have. That's why they get sales with mediocre movies.

He's sayin' I'm critical of BvS and SS because the films didn't meet up to my childlike expectations.
That is rubbish.
I'm critical of the movies because, as films not just comic movies, they have problems. Story, pacing, editing etc.
I'm critical of the movies from a comics fan perspective because they don't do 80/90 year old fictional mainstays justice. The same way I'm critical of book adaptations that are weak.
Tired of this shit man let a nigga critique a movie this is what the board is here for
If you tired of it then that should let you know folks here disagrees with your criticisims..if you expected everyone to cosign your thoughts IDK what to tell you, but dont get upset when others disagree for various reasons.
The Board is also for debate and discussion.

I'm complainin' about all the people tryna find excuse for the critiques/of the people sayin' shit like "just coz it wasn't exactly what you wanted doesn't mean its wack" crowd

It's still complaining about people who are disagreeing with the critiques, you didn't like it, but they did. You being naive if you think folks don't shit on movies because it isn't what they expected it to be, especially if it involved popular characters.
