Deadpool - Skull Poop'l.

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Ron Perlman from about 20 years ago would be my choice. He's too aged to pull it off now. Vinnie Jones has an accent problem and the Juggernaut baggage from X3.

It's still going.
Ryan Reynolds' R-rated superhero movie is obliterating numerous records over the long Valentine's Day/Presidents Day weekend, while it opens to a resounding $125M overseas for a global bow of $275 million

James Gunn bitchslaps studio exec.

Gunn is right. That exec is a moron. Marvel adds a lot of humor into their movies. Their entire franchise is about fun.

WB and DC, on the other hand, have publicly stated their rule is no humor.

That exec should lose his job. Not because this is some huge scandal, but because he clearly doesn't know the business.

i'll bet that moron doesn't even know Deadpool is a Marvel character.

Yeah, those opening weekend numbers sucked. No one wants to laugh obviously.

I'm not posting links as the articles themselves are boring, but apparently, FOX is now considering making both X-Force (which will have Deadpool in it) and Wolverine III R rated.

Exec1: R rated movie did well!
Exec2: Must be because it was R rated!
Exec1 & Exec2 in unison: MAKE THEM ALL R RATED!

Hollywood 101 - If something worked, make 100 copies.

To be fair, Wolverine should have always been an R rated character. He has claws that he uses to KILL people. You can't sanitize that and be true to the character.

Good movie. Thumbs up. Could have used more tits and violence.

Eh, I can think of some. Blade, both 1 and 2, and Punisher: Warzone.

The point was more about how everyone is raving that an R rated superhero movie worked and acting like Deadpool is the first to attempt it.

Dredd was R? I'll be damned. The spectre of the Stallone version still hangs over that character when he's on a big screen.

Can't speak for DC live-action films, but the animated Justice League: War was pretty funny. Almost back up on the level of the animated series.

Yeah, their animated division is different from their live action folks.

Somewhere buried in the Batman vs Superman thread of some other DC thread is a link to an article where they discuss the actual rule. It's a real thing for their action movies.
