They were both insufferable. But I left Deadpool 1 thinking "wow, people like this? They must be dumb." And I left Deadpool 2 thinking "that was not as insufferable as I was expecting it to be."

I just read my old posts about Deadpool and apparently all of what I just wrote is a lie. Don't pay attention to anything I say

After your West Side Story takes, I promise I won't be listening to a thing you say. About movies.

Ryan Reynolds sucks in pretty much everything, especially Deadpool.

I have no issue with Ryan Reynolds.
I have never seen Deadpool.

both of those deadpool movies sucked but the second one had Zazie Beetz so it was better.

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 only saw Deadpool 2. Ryan Reynolds sucks and Deadpool sucks, but I liked the other characters.

For a movie set in Japan there didn’t seem to be a lot of Japanese people. I assumed assassins would you know blend in.

This is a fair question. I guess I always like watching the major Hollywood releases in addition to the other artsy, obscure shit I like. I enjoy participating in the discourse, and there's usually at least one or two things I enjoy in even the worst of these movies

For me, it's because I have one dumb friend that I don't say no to about movies because he asks me to do a lot of other dumb shit that I do say no to

We should take the Deadpool challenge and watch each movie back to back 5 times in one day.

It sounds like a flapper name. Also, I grew up in NYC in the 1920s.

Filmmaking doesn't look all that special (just another Adrian Lyne thing) but sure I'll watch Ana De Armas be an unhinged Jezebel for 2 hours, why not
