[Movies] Talk about the last movie you saw 2: Electric Threadaloo
- Thread starter Dave
- Start date
The movie has 84 fucks, which is twice the number of fucks used by Lewis Black at a show that was then quoted as to why he couldn't do his stand-up at the Kennedy Center. Probably a coincidence ... OR, they had to say fuck that many times to properly out-do him. Either way, that's your trivia for today.
And this:
According to Kids in Mind, Deadpool contains:
84 F-words and its derivatives
34 scatological terms
21 sexual references
19 anatomical terms
9 religious exclamations
8 mild obscenities, name calling
3 obscene hand gestures
Me too.
It's the perfect term for an overreliance on a couple of words. Again, I got nothing wrong with swearing. I swear all the time. It's just when it's OVERUSED that I have a problem with it. Like using any word too many times in writing. And the writing in Deadpool was incredibly clever at times. To lean on the fuck crutch so often was a detriment to the movie when they're capable of doing so much better.

Have you heard Huey Lewis and the News?

Wow. I'm very glad they left that out. Talk about taking a different tone than the rest of the movie. And why would Nightcrawler suddenly know how to breakdance?
And why does nobody give a shit that they are mutants? No sideways looks at the blue guy with fangs and a devil's tail?

Because mutants had been outed in the previous movie.
That's the platonic definition of a good deleted scene, that I'm glad they filmed and also glad wasn't in the movie.

that wouldn't stop ignorant and stupid people from staring or saying anything. I mean, there was no reaction at all to them, which is just unrealistic. I know, I know. It's a movie.
I think it's not just the fact that mutants were outed, but the fact that the public saw a mutant save the President. That would probably help to normalize them, but you're right in that there could have probably been at least someone who'd at least be skeptical of their presence.
As for the scene itself, yeah, it's okay but definitely feels like it wouldn't have fit. I'm still a little miffed that they basically wasted Jubilee in this movie.
That's an interesting take-away from the movie. I didn't even pick up on the overuse of swearing. Then again, everyone I know uses profanity every other word.
I absofuckinglutely do not fucking - ohIseewhatyoumean
That and "Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny", the worst movie to watch censored EVER! Even worse than Mall Rats.
Which I never understood the big call for swearing in the movie. The comics don't have that kind of potty mouth.
Well, there is in Deadpool Max! Where Taskmaster is a hot lady for some reason!
In yet another case of Google being a creepy bitch, after @ThatNickGuy posted about all the swearing in Deadpool, this popped up in my recommended feed.

Only because they can't.[DOUBLEPOST=1473776124,1473776043][/DOUBLEPOST]I just got to meet someone from the Deadpool movie. I didn't realize it was TJ Miller until he spoke.
Blazing Saddles makes as much sense as Gabby Johnson when it is edited for TV.
They absolutely can, and often do. Deadpool is not a book for children, and the fact that Marvel had him show up in Spider-man: Web Warriors pissed me off to no end.
he's also great main cast on HBO's Silicon Valley show and funny as hell!!!!
I loved him in Transf4mers

It was one of those where I was looking at him but not seeing him. I do that way too much.

Despite being a huge fan of the comic, I only just saw this movie. I enjoyed it for the most part. Definitely fun. A little light on plot, though. Also, maybe it's because I watched it too many times, but it felt like the "leaked" test reel footage was shoehorned in because they had it already. Didn't seem to match. Why didn't Colossus go fleshy at any point?

They could only afford rights to half of the character.

Because they made him a metal Incredible Hulk instead of, you know, a large muscular man who could make his skin metal. So they couldn't really use a live action actor, and the CGI "regular skin" probably wouldn't have been up to snuff.

I said this on our group chat last night when shit was broke, but I just watched "Hunt for the Wilderpeople". This is made by the same people that did "What We Do In The Shadows" and it, too, is from New Zealand. I liked it quite a bit. Sam Neill is the big name in it and he is wonderful. Not as funny as Shadows, but this one is worth watching.
