Funny, that's a response I would have expected Pinback to make.

Someone on a review said that Deadpool was evidence that sometimes the proper telling of a superhero story requires that you "bite the bullet" and accept that your movie will get an R rating.

It was said way too many superhero movies were butchering their stories by cutting the "edgy" material in order to squeeze into a PG-13 rating.

What's your take?

That's an unacceptable answer. We're not gonna take it. No! We ain't gonna take it. We're not gonna take it, anymore!

No, no Vark.
I despised Ace Ventura, and Deadpool I'd kick him out of bed, to do him on the floor, and then on the table, in the shower, on the counter (at least in fantasy).

I watched Deadpool and the funniest part was the fake credits at the opening "Directed by Some Unimportant Douchebag" or whatever it said.

The only thing that - if you can consider him being to hard on himself - was when he was fighting all those henchmen on the Freeway - was that in none of the cases was he really committing murder, all of them were trying to kill him which essentially makes it self defense.

As for the scene at the end, if you go by "law of the jungle justice" then the guy whom he blew his brains out did enough things that you could justify a vigilante execution.

As for Guardians of The Galaxy I liked the movie, although the Cinema Sins review on You Tube (Everything Wrong with Guardians of the Galaxy) mentioned something I didn't think about: He had a walkman tape player on him when he was abducted, and now, some 28 years later, the player still works, the cassette tape is still usable despite probably being played hundreds of times, and how exactly does he get AA batteries? They have Radio Shack stores around Saturn?

Wait a second ICJ - are you just comparing Deadpool to the other only semi-tolerable comic book flicks from the last decade or is it actually a good film unto itself?

If you have an opportunity

Deadpool Kills The Marvel universe
and
Deadpool vs The Classics

both very enjoyable

We had a group event at Red Rocks tonight, went to see Deadpool. Still the best comic book movie and best action movie in a long time. It holds up to repeated viewings. Yum??

Ant Man

by loafergirl » Mon Aug 22, 2016 7:13 pm

I think Ant Man scored below GOTG. I think it was my 11 and 9 yo daughter's that pointed out the flaws with the weight density thing with giant Thomas the Tank Engine and the tank key chain thing... it was also mentioned in Youtube superhero cafe. Funny... but flawed.

by Ice Cream Jonsey » Tue Aug 16, 2016 9:26 pm

Well, I'm seeing it on Tuesday at a theater, so I will give it a REWATCH and let you guys know whether it really is the best action flick since Die Hard or not. I suspect it still shall be.

I was entertained by Deadpool, but it gave me the sense that most of its humor (the shock humor included) was recycled. Maybe it wasn't, and if so, maybe it's just a side-effect of meta humor; cynics like me will always think, okay, I bet that joke was already used in some comic blog somewhere.

GotG was terrible. I liked Deadpool, but it wasn't fantastic. The best comic book movie ever made IS:

IS!!

I dunno. Dark Knight, but just because of Heath Ledger. The rest was... well.

Uhh.

Maybe comic book movies aren't my thing either, come to think of it.

by AArdvark » Sat Aug 13, 2016 11:28 am

Just saw this. It was OK. There was all this violent activity. I didn't get any of the comic book references. I knew they were comic book related but I didn't get teh funny. At one point Wade makes a Ryan Reynolds acting reference and I had to ask who that was. Boy, did I feel like a schmuck. Maybe if they actually used his name in the opening credits? I guess there were Green Lantern jokes in there as well. I didn't know he played GL. D'Oh on me!

Also watched Guardians of the Galaxy but turned it off just while they were escaping from space jail. Maybe comic book movies aren't my thing.

I feel like a terrible person for being unable to enjoy Deadpool... It was funny! Except if they were so aware of the comic movie tropes, why did they follow the same shitty formula while calling it out?
