We saw Deadpool in a different theater and we did not have the Cap or X-Men trailers as we did in the first. WTF? -- nm - Spawn Feb 15, 11:41 5
- I don't think we had X Men. We had the lame Civil War one, BvS, Eddie the Eagle, and Cloverfield. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 15, 11:45 2
  - Oh and a new Purge movie. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 15, 11:45 1
    - Yeah, that awful Purge was at both. And London Falling at least at the second one. -- nm - Spawn Feb 15, 11:46
- The only two i remember are X Men and ... Cloverfield Lane. -- nm - Andie Feb 15, 11:42 1
  - Brothers Grimsby, the first person shooter movie/game (title?), the Eagle movie you are seeing, Dave & Mike are what I recall. -- nm - Spawn Feb 15, 11:43
Gilmore Girls season 1 (spoilers) - amoxy Feb 15, 11:35 4
- Minor future spoiler re: Tristan - David Feb 15, 11:40
- ST can stone me all they like, but I can not imagine sitting through that series again. (I know you have not seen it before.) -- nm - Spawn Feb 15, 11:36 2
  - jz's younger daughter is watching now. I can't watch unless it's a logan storyline. how did I not see how annoying those people were?? -- nm - sp commander amanda jones Feb 15, 11:40 1
    - *hugs* -- nm - Spawn Feb 15, 11:42
An interesting question for Hollywood, has the nature of comic book movies started to change? - Spawn Feb 15, 11:28 13
- I think Hollywood's error is in viewing "superhero" as a genre. - TWuG Feb 15, 11:41 6
  - I think Hollywood (or at least the Marvel part of it) gets this. - Roger More Feb 15, 11:46 3
    - That is my point. I am wondering if film goers will shift, at all. There will be viewers that enjoyed Deadpool so much more than like an Avengers film - Spawn Feb 15, 11:49 2
      - I think it has been changing for a long time. The Dark Knight was one turning point. The Marvel Phase 2 movies were another. - Roger More Feb 15, 11:55 1
        
        Good point. -- nm - Spawn Feb 15, 12:03
  - And, you know, a healing factor. -- nm - Spawn Feb 15, 11:42 1
    - Like getting shot ever stops anyone in an action movie. -- nm - TWuG Feb 15, 11:44
- I think there is (and should be) a place for both. - groiny Feb 15, 11:32 5
  - Here kids, enjoy your 10 minute Deadpool movie! -- nm - Spawn Feb 15, 11:32 4
    - the language is easy to clean up, and the really explicit shit they lose about 5 minutes of screen time -- nm - groiny Feb 15, 11:34 3
      - 5? Maybe you need to see it again. The spoil scene was longer than 5 minutes! -- (edited) - Spawn Feb 15, 11:34 2
        
        I am talking about the sex stuff, that reallty does not add anything to the movie. - groiny Feb 15, 11:35 1
        
        Hence my 10 minute movie. -- nm - Spawn Feb 15, 11:37
Speaking of Hugh Jackman, I *just* got passes to Eddie the Eagle tonight and Hugh Jackman is doing a Q&A afterward. - Andie Feb 15, 11:26 5
- I would have sworn this movie had already opened, with the number of times I've seen the trailer. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 15, 11:32 2
  - Really? First I saw was last month. -- nm - Spawn Feb 15, 11:33 1
    - The trailer in front of DP even made it look like a slapstick comedy. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 15, 11:40
- Ask him if he is jealous of Deadpool being able to actually *kill* people. -- nm - Spawn Feb 15, 11:29
- will he do that for every showing? cause it is the only way it makes money I think -- nm - Beaker Feb 15, 11:27
[deleted] 15
- I think it's cute that the Republicans think they are going to win the election :) -- nm - oblique Feb 15, 11:39
- they're just being full originalists. black presidents get 3/5ths of a term -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 15, 11:30 6
  - Schumer suggested shutting down any and all Bush nominees as well so *shrug* -- (link) - spamlet Feb 15, 11:37 4
    - hypothetical nominees... - znufrii Feb 15, 11:41 3
      - Of course it's not. -- nm - iSpam Feb 15, 11:43 2
        
        Schumer's a tool but he wasn't arguing that they were too close to an election to block the nominees -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 15, 11:44 1
        
        He was saying the Republicans are too batshit-crazy to let them nominate another Justice. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 15, 12:22
  - And do not even ask what a woman will get. -- nm - Spawn Feb 15, 11:30
- There's only one way to find out. -- nm - znufrii Feb 15, 11:27
- government shutdown -- nm - Max Feb 15, 11:22 1
  - this, in a way. Hillary could hold up bills the GOP wants passed from being signed until they fill the vacancy -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 15, 11:23
- Interim appointment? They would have to go 4 years with out a break -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 15, 11:21
- if the Dems retake the senate, they will be well within their rights to end the filibuster for SCOTUS noms as well -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 15, 11:20 1
  - [deleted]
- I'm all for filibuster reform, among other things. -- nm - crash davis Feb 15, 11:18
Other site. Deadpool adjusted to $330.00. Bat vs Soup is at $378.92. Thoughts? -- nm - Spawn Feb 15, 11:17 21
- I think Bats/Supes kills that number -- nm - Remlik Feb 15, 11:18 3
  - but compared to Deadpool, how many people have actually heard of this Bat dude and whoever that other guy is? -- nm - crash davis Feb 15, 11:20 2
    - I think you underestimate the recognition of Deadpool. -- nm - groiny Feb 15, 11:21
    - Yeah, I don't see anyone on social media making with the funnies yet. -- nm - Spawn Feb 15, 11:21
- 378 would be a 3 day at 2.8 multiplier I think though isn't it? -- nm - Beaker Feb 15, 11:17 16
  - 2.7? which prices it right now for 140 wknd. -- nm - Andie Feb 15, 11:19 15
    - yeah, it is gonna be pushing close to 200 for the weekend, I think. -- nm - groiny Feb 15, 11:20 14
      - I don't know about 200, but after the latest trailer, 140 is easy. -- nm - Shaun Feb 15, 11:26 13
        
        200. - groiny Feb 15, 11:27 12
        
        Sure. And I say 210. -- nm - Spawn Feb 15, 11:29 11
        
        did we hear a runtime yet? -- nm - groiny Feb 15, 11:30 10
        
        2:31 (Deadppol was 1:48) -- nm* - Spawn Feb 15, 11:31 9
        
        that is a long movie. I am fine with 200 on that -- nm - groiny Feb 15, 11:33 8
        
        SW:TFA was 2:16, so I am fine with 210. -- nm - Spawn Feb 15, 11:34 7
        
        Make a bet!! The loser has to dismantle 3 weapons of the winner's choosing! -- nm - Shaun Feb 15, 11:36 6
        
        He would pick my Red Spectre!!! -- nm - Spawn Feb 15, 11:38
        
        I ain't dismantling shit. -- nm - groiny Feb 15, 11:37 4
        
        This may be common knowledge. Did you know there's an Icebreaker glitch in Osiris? - David Feb 15, 11:39 3
        
        There's so much shit wrong with the Crucible right now, and that's without even considering lag. -- nm - Shaun Feb 15, 11:40 2
        
        Kim fell asleep Saturday night, so I watched Twitch a couple of hours. - David Feb 15, 11:45
        
        Lag really seems to be cleaned up on X-box. Seeing people get booted for it. Like groiny last night. - Spawn Feb 15, 11:44
Netflix tip: don't confuse their new series, Love, with the movie Love.* - David Feb 15, 11:12
This Kanye story is insane (asking Mark Zuckerberg for money.) -- (link) - Andie Feb 15, 11:11 3
- Kanye...and Martin Shkreli... this story has it all. Good job, Andie! -- nm - crash davis Feb 15, 11:14 1
  - it's like a competition to see who can be the biggest a$$hole. -- nm - Andie Feb 15, 11:14
- he is such a tool -- nm - Beaker Feb 15, 11:12
Does original Hulu content ever show up on other streaming services? -- nm - Covington Feb 15, 11:08
reminder. all Valentine's day candy is discounted -- nm - Peglegpete Feb 15, 11:00 1
- I know, I just ate 600 calories worth of chocolate bar. -- nm - groiny Feb 15, 11:01
todays change : 11 million. nice -- nm - groiny Feb 15, 10:57 7
- That is a down right embarrassing number for Zoolander 2 and the Single Chick movie beat it - Epiphany Feb 15, 11:12 2
  - ZOO2 is on a fast track to a razzie -- nm - groiny Feb 15, 11:19
  - I was hoping for more on my Zoo2 short. -- nm - Spawn Feb 15, 11:13
- Tomorrow will be a beauty too, assuming you maxed the call and OW. -- nm - Shaun Feb 15, 10:58 3
  - the call option as well. -- nm - Epiphany Feb 15, 11:00 1
    - wait - you said that -- nm - Epiphany Feb 15, 11:01
  - I most certainly did -- nm - groiny Feb 15, 10:59
Is there a food Southerners will not fry/deep fry? - crash davis Feb 15, 10:53 4
- Mother's milk -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 15, 11:27
- Have they tried frozen perogies? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 15, 10:58 1
  - child's play for the folks who invented deep fried beer -- nm - crash davis Feb 15, 10:59
- Once they deep fried butter, no. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 15, 10:55
"Scalia refused to acknowledge that originalism does not enable justices to decide cases neutrally. If they choose to adopt this methodology -- (link) - sweet baboo Feb 15, 10:52
pixie, from the BBs, I'm hoping some team will break out in The Amazing Race into likeability for me. Right now, its grim. -- nm - crash davis Feb 15, 10:51 2
- i just want all the planes to crash -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 15, 10:53 1
  - I've picked two or three teams as more obnoxious to me than the rest. -- nm - crash davis Feb 15, 10:55
We need a proper R-rated Wolverine movie. -- nm - Shaun Feb 15, 10:50 14
- A John Wick-esque Punisher movie. nm - Dignan Feb 15, 10:55 10
  - Ultraviolence has been the problem with the first two. -- nm - David Feb 15, 11:07 6
    - Never mind. -- nm* - David Feb 15, 11:07 5
      - *blink* I do not think you understand what/who The Punisher is. -- nm - Spawn Feb 15, 11:08 4
        
        I mean, it is right there in the name! -- nm - groiny Feb 15, 11:09 3
        
        Maybe if the made Castle more of a SEAL or something, but he has always been brute force/blunt instrument. -- nm - Spawn Feb 15, 11:10 2
        
        he was a Ranger. -- nm - Remlik Feb 15, 11:15
        
        this made me think of Nathan Fillion, Navy SEAL -- nm - crash davis Feb 15, 11:11
  - I've always wanted it done similar to Sin City. Break down some of Ennis' arcs into 30 minute peices and shoot 4 of them and tie them together - Beaker Feb 15, 10:56 1
    - even animated would be ok as long as they did it right -- nm - Beaker Feb 15, 10:57
  - So like Daredevil S02? -- nm - Shaun Feb 15, 10:56
- I disagree. I think it would be hard to get excited about that. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 15, 10:51 2
  - I want to see a Wolverine movie where he is actually surly and violent. -- nm - groiny Feb 15, 10:56 1
    - Sadly, that *should* have been the one we just had. -- nm - Spawn Feb 15, 11:06
marcobot 9000: the immigration reform bill i helped write and pass in the senate was never actually intended to become a law -- (link) - sweet baboo Feb 15, 10:48
I always hated Mojo -- nm - Beaker Feb 15, 10:47 4
- *ding* He is why I responded as I did. I can read stories with Cable, I gave up on the Mojoverse long ago. -- nm - Spawn Feb 15, 11:04
- Step off my bro! -- nm - Minnie SI Feb 15, 10:50
- Oh, right. And Maggot. nm - Dignan Feb 15, 10:50
- right? and that kid of his . . . -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 15, 10:48
Imagine if the Iron Man role had gone to Ryan Reynolds instead of RDJ. -- nm - Max Feb 15, 10:47 48
- no -- nm - Peglegpete Feb 15, 10:54
- Do we think Gambit gets pushed through quicker now? -- nm - Epiphany Feb 15, 10:51 24
  - Tatum is horribly miscast (and I like him) -- nm - Beaker Feb 15, 10:52 23
    - I totally agree with you. Too bad John Carter from Mars ended things for Kitsch - Epiphany Feb 15, 10:53 22
      - They got the wrong Magic Mike guy. - Spawn Feb 15, 11:23 9
        
        *snort* -- nm - Epiphany Feb 15, 11:27
        
        too greasy -- nm - groiny Feb 15, 11:24 4
        
        Perfect for Gambit. - Spawn Feb 15, 11:25 3
        
        no, no , no -- nm - groiny Feb 15, 11:28 2
        
        Sorry, I am already on the phone. -- nm - Spawn Feb 15, 11:30 1
        
        good, make that appointment, stat! - groiny Feb 15, 11:34
        
        Kevin Nash was robbed! -- nm - David Feb 15, 11:24 2
        
        he was perfect as The Russian in the first Punisher movie though. -- nm - Beaker Feb 15, 11:26 1
        
        That casting tidbit steps on my joke, you jerk! -- nm - David Feb 15, 11:46
      - He was just as bad. -- nm - Spawn Feb 15, 11:06 1
        
        yeah I didn't like him either -- nm - Beaker Feb 15, 11:07
      - I actually don't agree with you. I think he'll be fine, he's from Louisana so he'll get that cajun speak down. Tatum is full of surprises...I think - Remlik Feb 15, 11:04 5
        
        Tatum says he is 6'1". I do not believe him. Too short for Remy. -- nm - Spawn Feb 15, 11:07 4
        
        and Jackman is to tall for Wolverine who is 5'3 so your point is? -- nm - Remlik Feb 15, 11:16 3
        
        When you are too tall, you can hunch. When you are too short? - Spawn Feb 15, 11:19 2
        
        I get what you're saying with your IM....Tatum can do that. At *this* point I'm not worried. -- nm - Remlik Feb 15, 11:23
        
        hire taller co-stars, problem solved. -- nm - groiny Feb 15, 11:22
      - poor Taylor, I thought True Detective would get things going for him and then I saw it -- nm - crash davis Feb 15, 10:58 2
        
        heh - he's making a steady career of " friend" parts in movies - Epiphany Feb 15, 11:02 1
        
        he was fantastic in The Normal Heart but that was Ruffalo's movie -- nm - crash davis Feb 15, 11:05
      - I agree with you, he looked the part enough for me in Origins. -- nm - groiny Feb 15, 10:54
- the Marvel juggernaut would have died on the vine -- nm - crash davis Feb 15, 10:50
- I don't think he could pull off Stark, because of the genius factor. -- nm - groiny Feb 15, 10:48 18
  - "Van Wilder: Billionaire" doesn't work. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 15, 10:51 15
    - Deadpool works so well for him (and why he postured for it for so long) because it is basically RR in a mask. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 15, 10:52
    - I've never actually seen Van Wilder. - Beryllium Feb 15, 10:51 13
      - Take it through the car wash baby. -- nm - Shaun Feb 15, 10:56
      - Yes. It's like Deadpool: The College Years. - JaxSean Feb 15, 10:53 1
        
        good analogy -- nm* - Beaker Feb 15, 10:54
      - it is worth it just for the bulldog scene. -- nm - groiny Feb 15, 10:53
      - eh - sort of your IM - there are a few stand outs - we could lead you down the right roads. but Van Wilder is worth seeing though Waiting is better -- nm - Epiphany Feb 15, 10:52 8
        
        I've heard good things about Waiting. Good, atrocious things. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 15, 11:00 5
        
        It will definitely make you rethink sending your food back. Forever. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 15, 11:15 3
        
        i believe way back at the time amanda and i agreed that they kind of nailed the restaurant-work-experience. -- nm - Andie Feb 15, 11:21 2
        
        Oh, definitely. Waiting is near to Office Space in some regards. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 15, 11:32
        
        I think you guys are right -- nm - Epiphany Feb 15, 11:23
        
        its a "man's" movie for sure -- nm - Epiphany Feb 15, 11:02
        
        and Just Friends is probably his best role IMO. -- nm - groiny Feb 15, 10:53 1
        
        next to his brief cameo in Harold and Kumar -- nm - groiny Feb 15, 10:55
  - agreed - that face ain't ever going to look ultra smart - Epiphany Feb 15, 10:50
  - Yep. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 15, 10:49
- he could have pulled it off -- nm - Beaker Feb 15, 10:47 1
  - Almost but not quite. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 15, 10:49
