I remember when Grace Randolph did her first analysis of the red-band trailer she spent half the time talking about he she thinks Deadpool should be PG-13. She said something similar when she reviewed Mad Max:Fury Road back in May. She seems to have a very strong opinion that if a studio wants a major hit, they should make it PG-13, period. She doesn't seem to care about how that may or may not affect the quality of the movie. The woman is easy on the eyes, I will give her that, but you can only watch so many minutes of her broadcasts before she starts to annoy you. One can tell she's doing this in an attempt to get noticed by someone important and perhaps land a gig as a more recognized critic.

Totally. Her voice, the way she does it, boasts that of an attempt to be valued or important. She's not. She's a mediocre talent.

I'm 39 and rarely saw rated R movies in the theater (with the exception of Robocop - seriously, what the hell were my parents thinking??).
However, we had all of the cable channels and my mom let me pick out tons of movies to rent for cheap from the grocery store, so I saw damn near everything as a kid. My younger brother's favorite movie was The Beastmaster for crissakes. That movie is all kinds of fucked up.
Anyway, the theater wasn't the place for kids to see rated R stuff. Why little Billy can sneak a peak on HBO Go like the rest of us did is beyond me.

Your parents thought highly of you, and thought you could handle/appreciate movies regardless of the MPAA rating? Your parents were awesome, so shut it.

So prevalent was the film during the 1980s that the running joke (usually credited to Dennis Miller) was that HBO stood for "Hey, Beastmaster's On."

And yes, the "bat men" is the first thing I think of too about that movie.

Via THR:
Apparently the violence is at the core of this film to the point China can't mess w/ it to where it doesn't fuck the plot. Ha. I fucking hope this is a good movie cuz that makes me laugh.
'Deadpool' Denied Release in China Due to Graphic Violence
Fanboys worldwide are agog with anticipation for the upcoming release of Fox's R-rated 'anti-superhero' movie Deadpool — it got the most rousing reception of any title previewed at Comic Con last year — but China's censors have taken a far less enthusiastic view of the film.
According to widespread local media reports, Deadpool, which was produced by 20th Century Fox and based on the Marvel comic book character, has been denied permission to screen in China due to its violence, nudity and graphic language.
A source close to the decision at China Film Group tells THR that the reports are indeed accurate.
Directed by Tim Miller and starring Ryan Reynolds as the most foul-mouthed and self-aware superhero — or, anti-hero — in the Marvel catalog, Deadpool hits theaters stateside on Feb. 12.
China's censorship authorities often work with the Hollywood studios to create cleaned-up special cuts of R-rated movies, but sources close to the Deadpool decision say it wasn't possible to excise the offending material without causing plot problems.
China has no ratings system, so the country's media regulator, the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television (SAPPRFT), makes an up-down judgment on all film imports, approving or banning them for consumption by Chinese viewers of all ages.
Despite the film's more adult tone and content, many observers had predicted that Deadpool would find a way into the China market, thanks to the Marvel imprimatur.
Movies based on Marvel comic books have done huge business in China, which is now the world's second-largest theatrical market. Avengers: Age of Ultron grossed $240 million last summer, while more offbeat titles like Guardians of the Galaxy and Ant-Man grossed $96.4 million and $105.4 million, respectively.
Deadpool co-stars T.J. Miller, Morena Baccarin and Brianna Hildebrand. It tells the origin story of former Special Forces operative turned mercenary Wade Wilson (Reynolds), who after being subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers, adopts the alter ego Deadpool.
20th Century Fox declined to comment

I'd fuck her. But still wears too much make up and... actually... in a sadistic manner... I wouldn't mind hearing her voice during a fuck in her asshole.

I saw RoboCop when I was three. I didn't know what the fuck exactly was going but I thought RoboCop was badass cuz he was a cop and a robot. It's been one of my top favorites since I was 3.
Funny thing.... some humors in films like this you didn't get as a kid and just let it pass by but as you get older you get it. The pussy joke in Predator I didn't get at all till I was I liike 15. I literally thought Billy was laughing cuz it was such a shitty joke. It wasn't. It was funny.

Re: Deadpool - X-Men spinoff (2016, D: Tim Miller) S: Ryan Reynolds
I guess we better hope Deadpool does great at the BO without China or studios will probably want to not have much violence in comic films to ensure they can play in China.
First with forcing in China scenes and now maybe taking away future R-rated comic movies. China fucks us again.
Also, if they can't take out the scenes without the film making no sense, how will Fox sell the TV rights? They still have to edit films for TV. Unless China can't handle even TV cuts. LOL

Meh there's a difference between what's to be expected in typical MCU and DC films versus the level of violence that's going to be in Deadpool. Most characters really don't need a hard R rating and most aren't going to get one anyways. At most I think we'll see PG-13 from any Disney distributed Marvel Studios films or any Warner Bros. distributed DC films so there's really no need to worry about a level of violence from either that will be deemed inappropriate more than likely. The only exception seems to be the Netflix shows which are a bit darker in tone.

She said something similar when she reviewed Mad Max:Fury Road back in May. She seems to have a very strong opinion that if a studio wants a major hit, they should make it PG-13, period. She doesn't seem to care about how that may or may not affect the quality of the movie. The woman is easy on the eyes, I will give her that, but you can only watch so many minutes of her broadcasts before she starts to annoy you.

She would still probably have a line of nerdboys lined up to date her if she had open boyfriend auditions. Of course there's a very real chance her interests in these comic book and genre movies are all a put-on until she gets a more mainstream job.
Oh, and I hope Deadpool doesn't get too much competition from the second Zoolander (keeping it on topic.)

I didn't realize that until your post. Even though one is a "superhero" movie, they're both comedic, and Zoolander 2 is going to be pushing Will Ferrell's character hard since he's still a good draw at the box office.

I dunno. How much attention is that getting? It's a sequel to a film from almost 15 years ago.

@RobertKirkman: Saw #deadpool tonight. This movie cannot be over-hyped! It's flawless. Pure @robertliefeld on screen. #TimMiller shows us how it's done.
@RobertKirkman: We are entering the A.D. era of superhero movies. There were movies before Deadpool... But now, things will be different. Game changer.
@RobertKirkman: I'd compare it to Shaun Of The Dead. Great, dramatic horror movie, that is also hilarious. @deadpoolmovie is the same for superheroes.

Not sure if I trust Kirkman's opinion, hopefully there will be more early impressions.

I'm not sure I see this as being a game changer like Kirkman is calling it. I think it'll be a good film but I don't think its going to change the way comic book films are made or anything like that. It still is going to have a much more limited appeal in my opinion than most of the MCU films and the upcoming DC films.

It's cute how they're calling it a Marvel movie. I can't tell if they can tell what they mean by that or not.
