  - Somebody who has "Just Friends" and "Can't Hardly Wait" on their list shouldn't talk -- nm - amoxy Apr 6, 07:41 27
    - everyone should have Just Friends on their list. -- nm - groiny Apr 6, 07:42 26
      - *nods* It's an instant re-watch anytime it's on. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 6, 07:52 25
        
        Ryan Reynolds had never made a movie before Deadpool. - Spawn Apr 6, 07:55 24
        
        'Just Friends' is hilarious. -- nm - Diva Apr 6, 08:23 10
        
        It's some of his best work. -- nm - David Apr 6, 08:24 9
        
        If he isn't in the role it's half as good a movie. - Mel Profit Apr 6, 08:32 1
        
        Deadpool? Agreed. -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 08:33
        
        ... until Deadpool. -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 08:26 6
        
        No, until Definitely, Maybe ... and then Buried. -- nm - David Apr 6, 08:27 5
        
        not maybe, but definitely never going to watch Buried again. my claustrophobia was flipping out during that movie - PFM, head shaved in 9 days Apr 6, 08:35 2

        Even in Deadpool. -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 08:37
        
        Where do you rank Deadpool? -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 08:28 1

        are you going for the record of how many times you can be wrong on one board? -- nm - groiny Apr 6, 07:57 12
        
        I am willing to sacrifice the okay RIPD to make that statement. -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 07:58 4
        
        RIPD was goddamn atrocious. -- nm - Shaun Apr 6, 08:00 3
        
        Exactly. And that was the *highlight* of his pre-Deadpool film career. -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 08:01 2

        After Deadpool she agreed and said, "I am glad to see him finally make a movie." -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 08:06
        
        it's like he's never even SEEN Waiting. -- nm - Andie Apr 6, 07:57 6
        
        Van Wilder, Waiting, cameo in Harold and Kumar, spawn is dum -- nm - groiny Apr 6, 08:00 3
        
        Over-rated, never heard of it, cameo is not a career (plus, I do not even remember him in it). -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 08:03 2
