My inner adolescent Star Wars fan girl is quite happy to see Harrison Ford.

I do want to see Isaiah fuck shit up.

I'm fine with Ford, though a part of me wishes they'd gotten Sam Elliott. Might have made me a little more conflicted about Isaiah Bradley trying to kill the President.

Deadpool & Wolverine is the third best Deadpool movie, but also the second best Wolverine movie.

My brother said he thinks he likes it more than Logan, because of Cassandra Nova. (Not sure if that's a spoiler, so have some whitefont.)

Tom did you notice if there were a lot of flashing lights or a lot of quick cut editing in the movie?

Basically anything like the Black Widow opening credits are going to be a problem for me on the big screen. I went back and watched the opening credits for that, it's not as bad as it was when I first tried to watch it.

I didn’t notice anything, but I’m also not really looking out for or affected by that sort of thing.

Thanks Tom. I know it's not something most people think about. I did some searching and on Reddit a few people chimed in that the big sequence at the end had sparks and flashing lights. And someone else said they had to close their eyes for part of the time. So I don't know. If it's at the end and I close my eyes during the Marvel intro sequence I should be ok. It's nowhere near as bad as it was and I won't have a seizure.

I liked it better than Deadpool 2, but I probably agree on the Wolverine aspect. I love that the thread title has never been more relevant!

Do you guys think Blind Al is also aware of the Fourth Wall, or is she just so used to Wade's asides and meta references that she tried to find a workaround for his "no cocaine" rule without arguing?
