Suicide Squad star Jared Leto put a lot of effort into playing the Joker. In preparation for the role, the actor met with "psychopaths and people who had committed horrendous crimes."
Maybe that's where Leto picked up the used condoms and anal beads?
Leto told Entertainment Weekly when he takes on a role like the Joker, he becomes "part detective, part writer."
"I knew I had to be committed as much as possible," Leto said. "I had to be committed beyond belief. And I did what I needed to do deliver the best I possibly could."

Why Mark Hamill Didn’t Want to Return as Luke
As well as setting the internet on fire last night with his talk of a certain character's parentage, J.J. Abrams has also been discussing problems behind-the-scenes on The Force Awakens set, revealing that there was no initial chemistry between Rey and Finn, explaining why the plot of Episode 7 is so similar to Episode 4, and revealing why Mark Hamill was resistant to returning as Luke.
Speaking to Chris Rock at the Tribeca Film Festival, Abrams kicked off by stating that Episodes 8 and 9 will move the Star Wars saga to new lands. Abrams said, “This movie
was a bridge and a kind of reminder; the audience needed to be reminded what Star Wars is, but it needed to be established with something familiar, with a sense of where we are going to new lands, which is very much what 8 and 9 do.”
J.J.’s Cryptic New Comments About Rey’s Parents
Star Wars: The Force Awakens director J.J. Abrams sparked a frenzy online Friday when public comments he made seemed to shoot down a major theory about his heroine Rey's parentage. However, the filmmaker later backpedalled from his bombshell statement.
During a Q&A at the Tribeca Film Festival, an attendee asked Abrams flat-out who Rey's parents are.
“Rey’s parents are not in Episode VII,” Abrams replied. “So I can’t possibly say in this moment who they are. But I will say it is something that Rey thinks about, too.”

Make Your Own Oculus Rift Game With Roblox
Roblox, a massively multiplayer online sandbox where users can design their own game worlds and experiences, made its Oculus Rift debut today. With over 20 million visitors a month and 15 million user-created games, Roblox is now the largest social VR platform in the world.
It's also technically the first large-scale VR-compatible platform for designing your own unique video games. There are currently over 300,000 creators behind Roblox's growing line-up of free-to-play, fan-generated content, which ranges from sports games to roleplaying and beyond.
The introduction of VR to that mix will likely encourage creators to explore experiences custom tailored to the unique demands of virtual reality.
