Cavill should produce his movie too. Get the studios execs out and just let the filmmakers who are passionate about their source material go all in. Glad it's such a huge success.
Everyone should get all the studio execs out. Of every movie. Forever. And out of music. Let art be made by artists, and let the artists (and supporting crew) be the only ones who see any revenue.
So... something like Youtube?
Never before in history has it been this easy to produce art and distribute it to the world. But most people just use the technology to throw shit at one another.
a 'buddy cop' comedy headlining the 2 comedic relief kings of the franchise? hell yeah
BUT this movie isnt big because marvel, its big despite it... hell IN spite of it
its not taking itself seriously at all, and everyone needs a good laugh. i just hope marvel doesnt think this means 'superhero movies are back' blech.
Marvel superhero movies often don't take themselves seriously to a fault.
But it's a perfect fit for Deadpool.
Considering all the jabs in the movie at how poorly marvel has been doing recently got plenty of chuckles from the audience, Marvel definitely needs to realize they still have a lot of work to do if they want to win back favor
Every article I see about this movie is about how much money it's making and nearly zero things about the movie itself.
Reviewers were asked not to talk directly about the writing or characters, at least according to the review I heard on NPR a few days ago. Probably has a lot to do with it.
Isn't that usually a sign of a bad movie? But this one is doing well so what gives? Why the gag order?
There are lots of cameos they are trying to keep secret I’d assume
Generally, bad movies won't have pre-release reviews, period. I couldn't tell you about this particular decision, though.
It's part of the release cycle - you get casting news, then trailer and reveals to keep your interest, then the reviews drop and it's on to the box office (the current stage). The problem is that any further discussion of the film is going to be loaded with spoilers and they will spoil your enjoyment of the film. However, it's the Sunday of the opening weekend, so let's open the gates of Hell! If people get angry at me, I'm blaming you.
That must be it, I completely missed the reviews wave.
But not, I hope, the bizarre speculation phase.
I missed that too. How interesting.
We're now moving into the analysis stage.
