sadlikeknivesWhen I bought my ticket online Tuesday, there was only one showing. When I got there at eleven-fifteen, there were three and they were in the process of adding a fourth. Don't underestimate the geeks, people.
I thought the soundtrack was WAY TOO LOUD and overpowering in places. This was especially highlighted when "All Along the Watchtower" started BLASTING. I was completely thrown out of focus. "Wait, wait, is the Battlestar Galactica going to show up? What the hell movie is this?" I feel like there has to have been something else they could have put there that's not so strongly associated with another part of the geek continuum right now.
The effects were excellent, and I'm still digesting the changes they made. More on that later, if I remember to type it. :D
But enough about the movie, on to the part I'm still boggling three and a half hours after seeing it (on a large screen, I saw it on a tiny window on the USA Today website last night, but I couldn't figure out half of what was going on then): OH MY GOD WHAT THE FUCK. WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO DEADPOOL? I THOUGHT HE WAS SINISTER. WHY IS TEENAGE SCOTT SUMMERS IN THIS MOVIE? AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, WHY DOES DEADPOOL HAVE EYEBEAMS? WARNING WARNING DOES NOT COMPUTE. I'm really beginning to move past, "This may be a trainwreck, but it's Marvel, and also, eyecandy," to, "Maybe I should just...pretend this isn't happening. For my own sanity."
