This is what I do not understand about people. I do not care about the new Harry Potter film and yet I am not over at THAT thread moaning about it. If you do not like Ryan or Deadpool then don't comment on the thread. Yea yea I know "This is the internet" I'll shut up.
"Break the Fourth Wall? Oh yeah, he's got to," he told Empire. "I want to see him break the Great Wall."
I'm not sure how this confirms anything; it sounds (reads?) to me that he wants him to, but not necessarily that Deadpool will.
My assumption is that anyone who even cares enough to make a standalone Deadpool movie is doing it because they actually like the character/story/etc... so it would make sense that they would keep this fairly unique story telling device.
Why do people care about this so much? I'm a comic book nerd but I have no interest in Deadpool at all. And in the movie he didn't do much. Blob had more character than Deadpool.
@Corz: I guess I'll have to see; I don't really get his appeal and so far all anyone's really been able to tell me is OMG SIXPACK which doesn't really do it for me.
One day he was just that remarkably unfunny guy on that remarkably unfunny show Two Guys, A Girl and a Pizza Place, similar to a thousand other C-list actors. The next day he was some A-list HottieMcHottie that everyone seemed to have collectively agreed was a movie star.
I feel like I missed some huge step in between, and I'm pretty sure it wasn't Van Wilder.
@92BuickLeSabre: Check out a little movie called "Foolproof". That's where I started appreciating Ryan Renolds.
After that, check out Definitely Maybe to see if he has acting chops, and Blade Trinity to see if he can do action, he was one of the ONLY good things in that film.
His turn as Wade Wilson in the Wolverine travesty skyrocketed him into the role for me as a long time Deadpool fanboy.
I'm sorry but when did the actor become responsible for how the movie unfolds. This is entirely in the hands of the director. It's sad when good actors get saddled with blame for "ruining" characters when all they really do is what a director tells them to do.
@Pope John Peeps II: come on it's nice that he's at least pulling for something better. And there are PLENTY of actors that have ruined characters. Ahem John Connor both Terminator 3 and 4.
@Meredith Woerner: The director is still ultimately responsible. Whether it's because he couldn't stand up to Christian Bale, or was friends with him, or whatever. The director still made all the effective choices that made the character what he was. If the actor is doing something stupid, it's the director's job to tell him.
@Pope John Peeps II: i think that's an awfully narrow minded view of how the process actually works. in an idea world, sure, the director directes and the actor does what they're told. in the real world, however, most big ticket actors have a lot more pull because their involvement is more important. how many directors can attract the kind of numbers christian bale does by name alone? so yeah, sure, a good director would have stood up to christian bale and risked tanking the project if he quit but a lot of directors are really just trying to make money and won't take that kind of risk.
@tetracycloide: Nothing you said absolves them of the responsibility for their project at all.
I'm not sure what your point is other than to point out that their job is hard. Well too bad. You're still ultimately responsible. Bale is responsible for the performance, but nobody ever knows how they look. They need somebody to tell them. Presumably he's not an idiot and doesn't want to look like a boob on screen, so if he's looking stupid, he needs a director to tell him to modify his performance.
Anyhow, Reynolds may be pushing for this, but his won't be the vision that's up on screen. And it won't be his responsibility.
I LOVED Bea as Ackmena - the night-time bartender of the Mos Eisley Cantina on Tatooine in "The Star Wars Holiday Special!" She was strong, smart, witty, and didn't take any guff from anyone, including the Empire. Best of all, she danced with Greedo and sang to that wretched hive of scum and villainy as she threw them out of the cantina.
I'm still waiting for Hasbro to make an Ackmena action figure (HINT! HINT!) so I can act out my own cantina dramas with Han Solo, Hammerhead and IG-88. (Trust me, I have an awesome scenario playing out in my head for some time now.)
Her standard farewell to cantina bar patrons was, "Come back soon, I'll be waiting." I'd like to think that she's in that big cantina in the sky, waiting for us with a few sage words of advice and a pitcher of her best libation.
@bonniegrrl: Common perception seems to have changed in that regard, but there used to be a time when it was accepted that the Holiday Special cantina was in Anchorhead, and therefore was not the same location where Han shot first in the movie.
Officially...well, none of that exists within the Star Wars universe because Lucas hated the Holiday Special more than even the two Ewoks movies, or the Ewoks/Droids cartoons.
@Purple Dave: Actually, strange as it may sound, Ackmena and the other characters in the Holiday Special (notably Chewbacca's family), along with its general events (Life Day and so forth), are considered canon by Lucasfilm, because that franchise fits in anything and everything with the Star Wars name on it...

I had completely forgotten about that movie - largely due to avoiding it like the plague.

I would gay marry him if either of us were gay and/or lived in a state that allows it, or if he would have me or if his father would approve.
And I mean all of that in the straightest way possible.

Sure, tell that to Lak Sivrak. Oh, and the Infinities stories.
