really, another Amityville sequel, how many is that now, five or six????

Already been 5. Another in 2017. Is that a record or what? I think I have seen 2.
Didn't care much for the first one.

Betty White as WW

She is a tough old lady for sure!
She probably has a record of being on TV shows more than anyone.

[CRAZY-HORSE]

No, not a record, Star Trek, Friday The 13th, Halloween all have ten plus sequels.
Nightmare On Elm Street must be pushing ten also...

Then if you count James Bond, around 30 sequels from memory

[Lovely Linda]

I forgot about James Bond. Been several Bonds.
The others I have not seen the sequels except for the second Halloween (I think it was). Was not good at all anyway.

So, I watched Suicide Squad and it was... about something so the plot is pretty muddy other than the story being about using the villains as pawns, but I got confused when the plot suddenly seemed to change to something else later in the movie. Aside from that, The Joker has a few small scenes in the movie and he acts like a Mafia boss, so gangsta hahaha and I don't understand why either.

The Big Short on Netflix. A very good look into the housing market and financial crash in the states. If I remember correctly the closing credits said 3 trillion dollars was lost, 8 million lost their jobs and 5 million lost their homes. The scary thing is those banks that were responsible for it all are still selling EXACTLY the same products but just packaged differently. History, it would seem, does indeed repeat itself.

I should check that out. History repeats itself if you don't learn anything from it.

did that film get into the role government played in that mess
or was it entirely blame the banks and Wall Street

No MH, not that I can remember. Mainly revolved around the banks and how they were paying the ratings agencies to falsely inflate the value of the stocks.
