Those are... odd choices.

I like Pineapple Express.

I liked Eastbound and Down, which they co-created. They might do a decent job, horror and comedy both rely on set-ups, punchlines and good timing. I wouldn't have expected to see their names attatched to a horror reboot, though.

AN ARGUMENT on the internet has been resolved to the satisfaction of both parties.

The conclusion of the dispute, which began in October 1998 on a message board abandoned by everyone else in 2002, has given hope to the rest of the internet.

Bill McKay said: “We’re pretty sure the argument began over The X-Files, though we actually disagreed even on that for most of 2009.

“Since then it’s ranged across Richard Dawkins, Keynesian economics, dream Justice League line-ups, the standardisation of European shoe sizes and smartphone operating systems, ‘Godwinising’ a record 43,378 times.

“It’s been a full-time job, so I’m lucky that I have the kind of full-time job where they assume if I’m typing I’m working.”

Bill, also known as FlyingBoy, and his interlocutor, Electr0m0nk, have spent more than a decade locked in argument, a full year of which was spent shouting “STRAW MAN!” at each other.

The pair, who estimate they cut-and-pasted sections from every page on Wikipedia in attempts to back up their prejudices with evidence, now count themselves friends.

Bill said: “We finally settled our differences, agreed that we’d both learned a lot from each other, closed the message board and moved on.

“I hope it can teach others that arguing on the internet is completely worthwhile, as long as you never give up. Never.”

Mel Gibson in talks to direct Suicide Squad 2

He's just starting his comeback after the incident and he's going to kill his career again by doing this shit?

I'm not sure how appearing in a sequel to one of last year's biggest hits would kill his career (it may well have sucked arse, but there's zero denying it was successful regardless of what the critics think).

He won't be appearing in it, only directing, if he gets the job. He's already had trouble finding work in Hollywood in the last few years (and has yet to escape the reputation), but his comeback film is nominated for an oscar. Add to that he recently spoke out about superhero movies being shit, I'd say it's a risky move for him to do a movie in a universe that hasn't had a well received film and only one with a box office return that rivals the competition.

It might not kill his career, but he's currently in a place where he needs to redeem himself and a film that could be destroyed critically isn't going to help him. He could make a good film but I don't trust Warner Bros./DC to release what he makes, they have a bad track record so far of taking control and re-editing movies for the worse.

Personally, I thought Suicide Squad was atrocious.
