Squad

In somewhat of a close call, the Suicide Squad ultimately quieted the Sausage Party – on its way to a second straight weekend victory… With a second weekend haul of $43.7 million, Suicide Squad claimed the thrown once again – even despite a crushing 67% slide in attendance compared to last weekend’s thunderous $133.6 million opening. Still, Suicide Squad had a profitable first week on the market, currently enjoying a 10-day total of $222.8 million – slightly below the pace of Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. Nevertheless, Suicide Squad has performed well, thus far – both on the domestic front and the foreign markets. Foreign contributions have contributed a hefty $242.5 million, rapidly bringing the anti-superhero film’s worldwide total to $465.3 million. It’s still unclear what kind of longevity the film has – and the next few weeks will be critical in regards to whether Suicide Squad can reach the $1 billion neighborhood.…

The number of exercises was absurd as well as the difficulty of them. At sundown the sergeants put our names on a board under squad numbers. We had an hour to group up and find our housing. After we found our squad, I was chosen to be the leader. The sergeant showed up to my squad and gave me a topographic map of the area. Our housing was marked with an X; we had half an hour left to find our housing before lights out. Wright-Patterson AFB was incredibly flat, the only landmark on the map was a…

Motif of Identity In A Visit from the Goon Squad, a variety of characters are presented through each section, marvelling the reader with their unique complex backgrounds that are evidently linked. The motivations and language for each dramatis personae outlines their distinct purpose in the novel, yet their interconnected paths overlap due to one shared attribute, their hunt for identity. Through a psychoanalytic lens, this motif is considered a personification of Jennifer Egan's struggles…

of combat experience and the perception that he avoided combat patrols. He was also not liked by the men who were fond of their original platoon sergeant, SSG Miller. I think the book does a poor job of giving the perspective of SFC Fenlason. Soldiers always have the perception that their leadership is not doing as much as they are. Fenlason was also hard on certain individuals, which led him not being well liked by his soldiers. He showed personal courage when he stood up to Yribe, one of the…

“Down, But Not Out.” “There it is Privates!” Drill Sergeant Gonzales yelled. As we all rounded the narrow and winding road through the Ozark Mountains, my heart began to race. All 250 of us slowed down to form a formation in front of what appeared to be the biggest climb we had seen and were not expecting to see for the next few weeks. Screaming at the top of his lungs, Drill Sergeant Galloway said “This is Engineer Hill, and starting in two minutes you all have thirty minutes to make this…

In May, there are applications to be a squad leader. Last May I decided that I wanted to be able to share my knowledge of the marching season with younger members; so I applied to be a squad leader. I was chosen and able to lead three other girls that also play the mellophone with me. Throughout the season I had to put in a lot of hard work. Squad leaders had two days of training and then all of the hard work started. In July, we had pre-band camp where we taught our squads the basics of…

largest negative reactions from the audience was Suicide Squad. Many fans were disappointed in the plot, character development, and the overall quality of the film. It appeared as if more “hardcore” fans of DC critiqued the movie harsher than just the typical movie watcher. Perhaps the fact that the movie producer wanted to create a more realistic…

Although the world already knows most of the major roles in the upcoming DC flick Suicide Squad, some characters are still shrouded in mystery. There have been several speculations about Common’s character in the film since he was spotted on the Suicide Squad set covered in tattoos, but will the former rapper actually portray the villainous Tattooed Man? Common recently spoke to Complex, where he was asked to comment on his Suicide Squad character. “My role is basically a character who is in…
