Time to run some errands. Might as well get that out of the way now while I'm clean before spending the day in attic hell.

So, I think that is a Deadpool movie I will enjoy.
Yeah. I LOVED the first Deadpool but never got around to watching the 2nd one. I've never even watched Logan, although that movie has been on my list of movies I want to watch. It's long been spoiled for me, so I like how they explained how Logan took place in 2029 and Deadpool 3 takes place "now", so it would be before Logan died.
I've only ever seen the first two X-Men movies. It was pretty thrilling to see when the first one came out since I'd been a X-Men fan from the comics and the cartoon when I was a kid, but I was already in college and had kind of outgrown superhero stuff by then. I never saw any X-Men stuff beyond the first 2 movies.
I'm psyched about the idea of Hugh doing Wolverine again in another Deadpool movie. I can't even imagine how psyched Ryan Reynolds is since he HATED how Deadpool was portrayed in Wolverine Origins when they were last in a movie together as those characters. No doubt there are going to be a few really good jokes at that movie's expense.
My only concern is that Disney owns the properties now. It seems that anything they touch gets ruined these days. I'm hoping they allow DP3 to maintain its R rating and they let Ryan Reynolds call all the shots like they did before.

I tried watching the first Deadpool movie but really couldn't get into it, so I gave up on them.
I loved it, but comedy is very subjective. It's not like there was much of a story to it, but that's kind of how I feel about most superhero movies. If it weren't Ryan Reynolds in the role and also the fact they finally gave him free reign to make Deadpool right, it wouldn't have been any good.

Yeah, that was a good idea that they did. Last thing they want to do is turn off their audience.
That usually doesn't seem to be the case these days. I've heard the phrase "if you don't like it, then don't watch it" far too much in the last 5 years. That phrase is usually followed by some sort of "you're a _____phobe" or "you're an _____ist if you didn't watch it" when it failed. The same thing has been happening in comic books and video games too, and none of those industries are doing very well as a whole right now.
Ryan cares A LOT about Deadpool though, so even with Disney owning FOX I still have hope that this one is going to be good. I suppose I have to finally get around to watching Deadpool 2 now if I'm going to watch the 3rd one. I really need to see Logan too... for some reason just from the little I know about that movie I've got a feeling it's going to end up on my short list of favorite Superhero movies.

Wow. All of them? That's cool. It was just bad timing for me, really. They started coming out back when I finally got out of my shell and was doing a lot of partying and then I got that first really good job. I hardly watched any TV or movies for about 5 years and fell behind on the X-Men movies after X2. I hardly watch anything now, but I don't know why I didn't catch up on them when I was watching a ton of TV and movies.
I thought I was going to be rich collecting comics. My old man has quite the collection himself, but he was

Out for my walk and I got a pick up game of mah jong this afternoon. So later.

Got all my errands ran this morning then I got everything done in the attic I wanted to do and it's not even 9PM yet.
I didn't vacuum, but aside from the dust all of the filth is out of the porch and shed attic. I filled six 5 gallon buckets and three 55 gallon trash bags. It was a lot of filth.
I didn't find a go-bag with a stack of money in it though. :(
All the bad boards are out too, and I cut down whatever I could fit in the trash cans. I'll cut the rest sometime before the next trash day and that will be taken care of.
I also put a TON of new boards up there with the old shelving and plywood I'd saved for that purpose. Now it's easy to walk around up there... well crawl really, but no worries about putting your foot through the ceiling anymore while you're up there. It will make the electric I want to do in the future up there a breeze now.
All the insulation I had is installed and it went further than I thought it would. Instead of having to buy 6 or 7 more bats, I only need to buy 3 more. As much as I'd love to just be done with it, I'm not paying $18 per bat. I can wait until it goes on sale. I doubt I'll ever see them for $5 each again, but I know I can get them cheaper than that.
No damage at all to the seems between the tiles with 1 1/2 days of work up there, which is awesome. I won't worry about screwing up the ceiling paint when I'm putting the rest of the insulation up there or doing the electric.
So tomorrow I think I'll start with sanding down the remaning spot of mud I had to put up, spot priming all the mud and hitting those 7 repair boards in the shed, then it's on to hopefully the final coat of ceiling paint.
I may just get some wall paint up this week after all.

Got back from my pick up game of mah jong near suppertime and that was a chore. Couldn't get anything moving.
Maybe better luck tomorrow at my usual game.

I knew who Deadpool was by the time Deadpool came out because my younger brother was a huge fan. He was also a huge fan of Ryan Reynolds ever since Van Wilder. So it was funny hearing Ryan crap all over Wolverine Origins and say all the things my brother said about the character.

I think most people do ignore them. Especially all these years later. Those phrases only seem to come out when the movie or TV show is just bad. There's plenty of movies, tv shows and characters that had female or minority leads that I've loved throughout my life without somebody having to guilt me into watching them. One thing in particular that is always going to stick in my craw was when they released Black Panther and "everyone" was saying "finally! A black superhero lead!", while forgetting completely that Wesley Snipes did Blade before Hugh Jackman did Wolverine and Toby McGuire did Spider-Man. And the Blade movies were freakin' awesome.

I have a copy of Logan but haven't been able to bring myself to watch it knowing that Logan is dying in it. Makes me think of the comic "Old Man Logan" which Logan is dying in the comic. I love my Wolverine!!!!! Can't watch him die. *L*
Hehe... I get it. Sometimes when I read a book that I really loved I don't read the last page. Then the story never ends and I get to imagine what happened next.
I'm okay with a character I really like dying though, as long as the death meant something.

Yup and I have pretty well liked each one. Well, I am older than you and looking after my mum when she was sick. So yeah got to see them all.
I'm sure I'll watch them someday. I didn't hate them like I do most superhero flicks after the first Iron Man.

I wasn't collecting to make money. It was just a hobby that I started when I was getting out of elementary school and moving into high school. Thor was the first comic book I bought I think. Buy the time I had to sell my collection I think I have almost 1,000 comics. Had to sell them as I had no place to keep them after my mum died and I had to do all that moving around. There used to be a really cool comic store in my city and the owners were great people but they are both gone now and their kids had no interest in the business, so it folded.
Bummer to hear you had to sell your collection and about the store closing. I was always collecting crap that I thought was going to be worth something because the "price guides" were all a scam (there's videos on that topic in great detail now). The only thing I ever bought that was worth any money as a kid was a handful of Magic the Gathering game cards. But the ones that are now worth over $1k each I gave away to a friend back in high school in trade for a Sega Genesis and a Turbo Grafx 16 and a few dozen games that my youngest brother ended up selling to GameStop in trade after I moved out. The rest of my collection is probably worth about $2k right now, but the three cards I gave away are worth more than the other thousands of cards I still have. They're all in mint condition too.

I have got a few newer comics now but if I want to try and find any of the ones I had I would have to go into Vancouver and just not my thing.
You may have some luck finding digital versions online if you wanted to read them again. Second is always posting links to the new Firefly comics. I know that I've found a few I was looking for online, but I don't remember where I got them from though.

Damn...
Neglected to put the washed clothes in the dryer last night. My early start today is back to a normal start while it's on hold.
Walls should be ready for paint, my repair boards in the shed should be white with primer and if the 2nd coat of enamel gives the coverage I'm hoping for the ceiling should be finished by the end of the day today.
IF that all works out, all I should be doing tomorrow is painting walls. That won't get finished tomorrow since I'm doing two different colors, but it should be a relatively slow and easy day which will be nice because I'll probably be getting ready to go to my Grams for a few days to (hopefully) finish the dehoard work that I started in the spring.
Speaking of Grams, my aunt just told me the other day that my uncle came over and installed a new faucet on the kitchen sink. They finally have water pressure! It was bad... It came out so slow you couldn't even be bothered to try to fill the sink up to wash dishes and just had to immediately wash them with soap the second the meal was done. Fixing that was on my long list of things to do, but I probably wouldn't have gotten to it until at least mid-November. And I hate crawling into sink cabinets to do that (I have an increasingly poor water flow in my own kitchen sink that needs attention too).
I told my aunt that with my friend's dad in bad shape right now, I don't know if I can get him out this winter to fix the tub plumbing. If my uncle does that, I can rebuild the damaged wall and they can entirely cut off the 2nd floor of the house for the winter to save on energy bills.
HEY SIGS!!!! WHERE ARE YOU!!!!!??????
