I have to say that Deadpool 3 with Hugh Jackaman as Wolverine is about the most excited that Hollywood could ever make me about a comic book movie these days.

This is probably the last one I will ever see unless they take some real time off of the genre and get actual talented people back behind these projects and put out some real, interesting movies again instead of the same movie over and over and over and over again but just wrapped up with a different colored bow.

That is, after all, one of the greatest things about Deadpool as a character. Deadpool movies are going to be different than everything else out there by nature. The fact that Ryan Reynolds is such a superfan of Deadpool that he actually spent many, many years playing a HUGE role in making that first movie happen means the world here too. Ryan REALLY understands Deadpool.

Nobody wanted to take a chance on this character, because everybody thought that an R-Rated Comic Book movie would flop, and there was no possible way you could ever make a PG rated Deadpool movie that anybody would have liked. But when Ryan finally got 20th Century FOX to take a $58 Million gamble on it, they were repaid with a worldwide box office of over $780 Million.

Ryan simply won't allow a bad Deadpool movie to be made. He's got all the pull now when it comes to they way Deadpool is betrayed because he IS Deadpool.

But too many of the actors in all of these movies know nothing about the characters they're portraying. I'd guess that number at 90% or more. They either look at them as a huge payday or in the case of lessor known actors it's just their way to finally break out and make it big. And that's fine, as long as you have people in charge of these projects who understand the characters and have passion in the work they're doing.

Hell... Rachel Zeglier (aka Snow White 2025) was asked on the red carpet at some event what drew her to the character she played as one of Shazam's super-powered siblings and she had the nerve to say "I needed a job. I'm being so serious. The reality was we were in the middle of a pandemic and I was not working, and I couldn't get a job for the life of me because West Side Story hadn't come out yet and it was really hard to book work for me."

Really, Rachel? Really...

I appreciate the honesty, but that's not your mom you're talking to and this isn't your living room. A few MILLION people ended up hearing the little rich girl whining about how she couldn't find a job during the pandemic. The same pandemic where almost 20 million people had been deemed non-essential and they were all out of work. The same pandemic where a good portion of the people you look down on every day were basically stuck inside their cracker-box apartments while you got to spend Isolation putting out TikTok videos from one of the couple dozen rooms you've got in that mansion of yours.

And hey... that's fine. I certainly don't expect any good looking young 20-something woman to know anything about comics.

But at least pretend like you give a shit for the fans, huh?

Is it really that hard to do? You're an actress. You literally lie to people for a living. How about you just keep doing that whenever a camera is pointed in your direction.

And I don't even blame her. It's the fault of the Directors and any of the Executives responsible for these failures. The entire modern Hollywood Culture they've had going on since somewhere in the 2010s, really.

They don't have some Magical Hollywood School where up-and-coming actors and actresses learn Charisma 101 and how to sell a movie to your potential audience, or more importantly "WHAT NOT TO SAY". N

I've got to say it at least makes for a hell of a trailer.

It subverted my expectations twice in under 3 minutes. The first time was when I immediately thought that something was going to happen to his daughter while he was going to the bathroom, which was never a concern. Then, of course, when you find out that he is the bad guy.

But if what we saw is what we are to believe, they just gave the whole movie and the M. Knight Shamalyan Twist away to sell some tickets.

There's no way that M. Knight has lost so much power in Hollywood that they'd be able to do him dirty like that. He's got to have a plan.

Maybe he wanted to be the first Writer/Director to put out a movie that successfully subverted the expectations of its audience not only in the trailer itself, but again when they realize the movie they just watched was nothing like what they were expecting based off of the trailer?

Could be interesting.

Yes, Trap looks good.

Next week is Fall Guy. I likely won't be able to see it until Sunday. Having nothing to do with May The Fourth Be With You.

Is that good? or really good? I don't really follow, or interpret.

That's hard to say, and with the current state of culture you probably need to take it all on a case by case basis.

There is no audience score yet, so it is the Critics that gave it 90%. That's been a red-flag that the movie is chock full of the agenda and they approve of the message since around 2015 or 2016. But since the back half of 2023 with all the box office failures and tons of news sites shutting down and these people realizing they need their jobs, they appear to have straightened out whatever demons they were wrestling and/or all the activists have been laid off, and they've gone back to giving actual legitimate movie reviews. At least for the most part that appears to be what they're doing.

So I looked at the reviews on RT and kind of skimmed over them. I like what I see there. I don't see one damn mention of anything even remotely political. I see the terms "fun" and "popcorn movie" thrown in there quite a bit.

Ever since the Critics started giving real movie reviews again, I actually pay even less attention to them than I used to. A year ago I knew if they liked a movie I wouldn't enjoy it and vice/versa.

I think the Audience score is much more important on RT than the Critic score is.

I'm not seeing anything that should dissuade you from seeing this or giving me any reason to believe you're not going to enjoy it. I know you've been looking forward to this one. Hope it's great.

I read many of those reviews, several said 'fun', 'popcorn' and '80's action film'. Who knows, maybe most of them really liked the film, maybe 2024 won't suck.
