Six supervillains have been given an impossible mission to accomplish to protect the United States (and the world) from a major threat.  When you’ve got a suicide mission, you’ll be sending the Suicide Squad.  The 80’s comic book has been rebooted, with added Harley Quinn, and now it looks like another modified version of the Suicide Squad will be appearing in Warner Brothers’ DC Universe on the big screen, with a noteworthy new addition.  Jared Leto will be playing The Joker in the upcoming Suicide Squad movie.  The film will be written and directed by David Ayers, who recently helmed the WWII Brad Pitt flick Fury.

“We look forward to seeing this terrific ensemble, under Ayer’s amazing guidance, give new meaning to what it means to be a villain and what it means to be a hero,” said Greg Silverman, president for Warner Bros.’ Creative Development and Worldwide Production.

Here’s the full line-up for the big-screen debut of the Suicide Squad:  Jared Leto will be the latest version of The Joker, Tom Hardy will be group leader Rick Flagg, Will Smith will take on the role of Deadshot.  Margot Robbie will be Harley Quinn (making her big screen debut), Jai Courtney will be Captain Boomerang, and Cara Delevingne will put aside her modeling to play Enchantress.  That’s an A-lister, a hot new actress, a world-famous model, an Oscar winner, Batman’s toughest challenge, and a gladiator (not in any order).   It’s a surprisingly star-studded movie, as far as actors are concerned, plus it’s got The Joker, so that means it will still make hundreds of millions of dollars due to its connection to Batman and Superman.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
