    "However, Gunn argues, the real lesson of Deadpool should be that
    audiences crave originality"

    This...on the same morning that I saw a trailer for a remake of
    "Adventures in Babysitting."

    Yes, "Adventures in Babysitting." You know, because we needed an updated version of that, right?

    ...oh, and the teaser for the trailer of the "Ghostbusters" remake.

    You know, because now trailers need trailers, it seems.

    I don't know that Deadpool is particularly "original" ... it's a bit of
    a rip-off of Wolverine meets Daredevil, and just yet another
    "superhero" movie (as if there weren't enough already). Best you can
    say is that at least it's not a crappy reboot, as far as I know.

    If 'Wholly Odd' truly wants to jump on the 'originality' bandwagon, I'm
    sure that we can provide them with a few 'suggestions'. ^_^

    Like, I don't know...

    - a cartoon/anime successor to Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
    - a genie-based wish-fulfillment film with intelligent characters
    - a spritual successor to the MTV series, Daria and/or Downtown
    - more films/TV series with well-written female characters (who get the superpowers/gimmicks for a change)

    The various media industries have become oversaturated with
    arrogant/idiotic 'stereotypical males' - it's time to give more (original) female characters a chance to shine.

    Signed,
    Warewolf
    who started reading comics and watching animated series in the 70s & 80s *because* of their variety of female characters.

    Ah, excellent movie.

    Yes, "Adventures in Babysitting." You know, because we needed an updated version of that, right?

    I will say that the movie does not date well for it's target audience.

    "where's her mobile phone" was the frequent comment when my kids watched
    it 10 years ago.

    Maybe a reboot if you consider the version in the Wolverine movie? Heard
    there was a great difference.

    That's how this movie came to be made. RR wanted to play Deadpool
    because he's a fan. So they cast him in the Wolverine flick and totally
    botched it. He lobbied to be allowed to make a movie to redeem the
    character in a way true to the comic version and this is the result.

    BTW, a caveat regarding content: this movie came by its R rating
    honestly, so much so that I daresay it nudges right up against NC17
    country in one or two scenes. And I don't mean the violence, which is
    very graphic, but in an almost cartoonish way. So much so that if I had
    a 12-y/o who had been exposed to some video game violence already and
    that was the only reason for this movie's rating I'd probably take him.
    But this is for sex: graphic discussions thereof, somewhat less graphic
    scenes (though not by much), and some brief full frontal nudity, so if
    you are any kind of responsible adult DO NOT take anyone to see this
    that you would be embarrassed to sit by under those circumstances.
    Depending on how your family does things, that could be a kid/grankid/niece/nephew, and at the opposite end of the spectrum your
    own parents and/or grandparents. It's not QUITE like watching porn, but
    it's close in a couple of places.

    Eventually we're going to have a 1/2 second micro-teaser for the teaser
    for the trailer for the promo movie clip for the movie.

    But seriously, teasers are basically becoming what trailers used to be: something to get you excited about seeing the movie that DON'T reveal
    the entire plot before you even walk into the theater.
