Way to go! Look at the action on Twitter!
Thanks for getting it out there! You have done such a great job trying to promote people's work. I know you put a lot of time and effort into it. Thank you!
My husband and son are out watching Logan as I write this ;) Though from your description it doesn't sound like the typical 'guy's outing' to me ;) Very cool, I'll check out deadpool.
Aside: @therealpaul painted the cover for my book Reborn. It's magnificent, it needs to be seen (I just put up the post)
Actually... it might spark some good conversation between the two of them. I'll check out your post right now.
Thanks for the review. I look forward to seeing the movie. I've always enjoyed how the x-men universe explores themes that are resonant with the real world, like persecution and fear of those who are "different" from us. Wolverine is undoubtedly my favourite character and I think Hugh Jackman gives him a depth and passion that is truly moving.
It sound slick this movie was made for you!!! I really hope you enjoy.
They do a really nice job with the persecution theme in this both overtly as well as with habit more subtlety.
Thanks for the review. Always enjoy your insights.
I posted the trailer and a little backstory on this a couple of months ago. The movie is sort of a hybrid of a series of a parallel Wolverine that was aged. This leaves the series open to continue the character and simply leave this one in an alternate reality.
The song, Hurt, is perfect for this trailer, IMO. You can feel it...
Deadpool... I watched about five minutes and turned it off. To me, it was trash... along the comfort zone of being in a whorehouse with a troop of drunk sailors. Personally, I didn't want to subject my mind to it.
I buried the lead. Did you already see Logan?
No, we rarely see them in the theaters. Our sound system is good enough to watch at home for a couple of bucks and the advantage of snuggle time. :) Plus, for a little more than it costs at the theater, we can grill a steak.
I forgot about about that. This will be a great one for your set up.
This didn't quite follow the story of "Old Man Logan" perfectly but it was inspired by it for sure. I do like how marvel has started to do what the comics have always done... have multiple realities. They don't all have to fit in perfectly with each other.
As far as Deadpool goes, I completely understand your point of view. It was not like any Comicbook movie I can remember. I saw it as ridiculous and "over the top" like some scenes in "Kill Bill". But I completely see how it would not be for everyone. I viewed it almost like a spoof... a gory and "R" rated spoof but one none the less.
I can take the gore. :)
Do you like dead pool in the comic books?
I haven't really read comic books much, so can't answer. I just couldn't handle the vulgarity of the movie.
Oh I can understand that. Amy son and I watch all the superhero movies together... but not Deadpool. Never. I would feel uncomfortable watching this with him when he is 30.
Oh yeah and Hurt. I loved NIN for nearly 30 years now and thought Johnny Cash's versions of it was simply amazing. Whoever thought of combining that song with these scenes needs a raise. A huge raise!!!
We really enjoyed it but it was a pretty depressing movie. The part with the farmer was heart wrenching.
I know! That was a very shocking sequences. Power, sad, but well done.
cool ;)
Thanks
you are welcome :)
best your post
