Yesterday I saw the new DC Comics movie Suicide Squad. Overall, it wasn’t very good. In fact, I have a lot of problems with it. Perhaps my biggest problem after seeing the movie is that I am now faced with a dilemma that haunts me: is Jared Leto attractive? I have never been attracted to Jared Leto before. I had zero opinions on Jordan Catalano.* I saw him in Fight Club when I was twelve, but my loins only burned for Brad Pitt. I saw 30 Seconds to Mars live in 2012. I bought all of their albums and enjoyed them. But was I attracted to Jared Leto as he sang in an allegedly haunted old theater in Colorado Springs? I don’t think so. No, in fact, I know so. I have never been attracted to Jared Leto.
But yesterday, something changed. Perhaps it’s a visceral change that took place within my body, in an involuntary manner. But it finally happened. I was attracted to Jared Leto. He was in costume. He was in full-body makeup. His hair was dyed lime green. He was wearing a very strange silver “grill,” as the kids would say. He had a face tattoo that said “damaged”. There was no denying it in this moment. I was in love for two hours. I am upset that most of the Joker’s scenes were cut from the movie. I want to know more. I need to see more. I yearn, I pine, I scream inside, for this….
I forgot about this too…
Let the record show that on August 14, 2016, I, Heather Marulli, was finally attracted to Jared Leto. This is a day for the history books.
*I did, however, have very strong opinions on Heath Ledger and I probably watched 10 Things I Hate About You and A Knight’s Tale hundreds of times because he was indeed, an undeniably beautiful man. However, I did not find Ledger attractive as the Joker.

I just had the same exact experience as you last night when I watched Suicide Squad for the first time. Now I yearn, I pine, I scream….for more. Lol Now I’m dying inside, hoping and praying they make another movie giving Jared Leto more screen time, and if they change one tiny hair on his head (or on his costume) in any way, or his performance in this role is any less outstanding than it already is, I’m going to be incredibly disappointed.
