“Hollywood — I tell people — is like watching someone you love get fucked by someone you hate,” Ayer said when asked about his biggest Hollywood heartbreak. “The big one is ‘Suicide Squad.’ That shit broke me. That handed me my ass.”

I DISLIKE THAT WORD...BUT AYER IS MOSTLY RIGHT...TURNING SOMETHING YOU CREATED OVER TO SOMEONE ELSE TO DO WITH IT WHAT THE WANT...IT'S A TOUGH SITUATION...THAT SAID...I ENJOY THE SUICIDE SQUAD FOR WHAT IT IS...A FLAWED WEIRD ASS MOVIE...BUT WOULD LOVE TO SEE AN "AYER CUT".

He's been really gunning for WB to let him release his cut. I don't think it'll ever happen but if it did I'd check it out.

I haven't seen SS since it was in theatres but I remember finding it decent enough and underrated.
