I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I've never met the guy. Maybe he's a dick weasel. But it's interesting to me that he's had very long term relationships with multiple women in a row who are successful without him, strong, diverse, super talented, and kind of awesome. And you never hear anything bad about him in his personal relationships. I love the way he handled Deadpool; the way he went into this own pocket to keep the writers on set. The way he followed his vision of the character. He seems pretty funny in most of the interviews I've seen with him. I like some of his movies. Though it's impossible to argue that he hasn't made some goddamn terrible stuff. I don't know. I like him. I certainly don't find anything about him to hate. At worst, I feel like the most you could do is just forget he exists. *shrugs*

And god bless Amy Ryan. She's wonderful. I like her WAY more than I like Ryan Reynolds. Not even close.

I appreciate judging him on the company he keeps (seriously). And I have to admit that I'm sort of intrigued by Deadpool, 'coz it looks like it pokes fun at the genre.
At to be clear, I still haven't seen Deadpool. This is all just my impressions of the dude. Certainly nothing I'd go the mattresses for, y'know? I do want to see Deadpool, though. Looks fun, I agree.

Also, I used to think Dane Cook and Ryan Reynolds were the same guy.

I thought we talked about this. I was being sarcastic. I hate all things Ryan Reynolds. I swear we went through this before but maybe not.

I'm not sure why, but I find Blade II to be one of the most pleasurably watchable movies ever. I find myself returning to it often.

I know I saw it. But I think I saw it back when I was working two jobs and one of those jobs was a graveyard shift and I think I fell asleep in the theater. I don't remember much about it. Don't think I ever saw the third one, though.

I kinda hate Kris Kristofferson.

Several people brought Blade Trinity back and demanded refunds when I worked at Blockbuster.
