Deadpool 2 and Cable, Too!
Not too long after we got our first looks at Domino for the upcoming Deadpool sequel, but here’s actor Josh Brolin as Cable! Quite fancy!
And here he is again!
Looks fine to me! Not sure how Cable is going to fit into the Deadpool movie, but then I suppose people have been wondering that about Cable and Deadpool comics for years! I’m sure they’ll make it pretty awesome.

Movie Domino Looks Great!
Domino is going to show up in Deadpool 2, and we’ve got our first look at actor Zazie Beetz in the role!
Nice Deadpool-skin rug
Looks pretty perfect to me! That’s about as perfect a movie Deadpool as I could imagine. Hopefully soon we’ll get to see Cable, too!

Deadpool Gag Reel on a Rainy Memorial Day
I don’t know about you guys, but here in my neck of the woods, it’s raining cats and dogs on memorial Day. This probably means I won’t be going to any fun barbecues or picnics! What the heck, weather?!
Ah well. Let’s at least have a chuckle with a long last gag reel to last year’s Deadpool movie! Beware of wicked language.
Heh, now that was funny. Good times. Stupid rain.

Logan Should Have Ended With a Musical Number
I wasn’t totally sold on this How It Should Have Ended for Logan, but they won me over in the end.
I didn’t realize what they were singing at first, but when they went into the huge ensemble Les Mis-style musical number, they had me. Then Deadpool in a DeLorean was neat. Though I continue to insist that the Batman/Superman cafe callbacks are not nearly as funny as these guys think they are. I’m here for the alternate endings, not the in jokes.
Just sayin’…

Review: Deadpool
They did it! They pulled it off! And with flying funny colors, no less! A comics and character-accurate Deadpool movie seemed like it had about as much chance of happening as that Lobo movie DC is always talking about. Like a pipe dream clogged with used toilet paper. But don’t that beat all, actor Ryan Reynolds and director Tim Miller apparently wield a golden plunger.
Deadpool is a hilarious, action-packed thrill ride, bathed in that sticky, zany funk that makes Deadpool so special in the first place.
Movie Rating: 9/10 – Great
The Deadpool film is everything someone could want from a Deadpool film. This movie is so character accurate that it almost defies logic. Considering the character’s extreme misuse in X-Men Origins: Wolverine (which gets mocked in this movie), it was nigh impossible to believe anyone at FOX Studios would make this new film happen. It was hard to believe anyone at FOX Studios even knew what Deadpool was about. But after Reynolds championed the character and the movie for so long, and after some footage was ‘leaked’ a year or two ago, someone got the wheels turning and we’ve now got a great movie.
Deadpool is a ton of fun. It’s got the exciting, hard-hitting action of recent blockbusters, as well as the snappy wit we’ve come to expect from superhero movies, but all of it is just so ‘Deadpool’ that this film stands in a league all its own. The action is just short of slapstick, with attention paid to both badass asskickery and wacky shenanigans. The humor is that special mix of raunch, snark and Fourth Wall-breaking that has come to define the character.
The Deadpool movie may not have the emotional depth or importance of all the great Marvel blockbusters, but I’ll be damned if this isn’t an entertaining jaunt in the world of comics come to life.
