i am a simple man. if your movie has spandex guys punching bad guys in it, i’ll watch it. so i did enjoy this movie, but there was one little thing in it that bugged me on an ethical level and the more i thought about it the more it bugged me.

Dave HolmesSome clever wordplay would be the way to honor him but unfortunately this just fucking sucks. If you don’t know Trashcan Sinatras, put on Cake. You will know in one point five seconds if it’s right for you, and if it is, you’ll wonder how you lived without it. Fuck. pitchfork.com/story/trashc...

gotta feel for taylor kitsch. you come out of friday night lights riding high, say yes to Wolverine: Origins which bombs horribly but does eventually juice Reynolds’ career and boom: Deadpool. meanwhile you’re replaced by magic mike’s “sure, why not?” never-realized selfcast. the final humiliation.
Najir🔻I HATE Channing Tatum as Gambit. This Avengers Doomsday movie looks trash.
it led to some really surreal, deeply sad hijinks where like matt walsh was like “watch this, xitter chuds: i’m gonna fool the bluesky libs by pretending to be a lesbian communist, that’ll show ‘em,” and everyone on here was like “yeah, you’re just matt walsh *block*”
John ScalziBluesky oldheads will remember that brief period of time when the conservative trolls tried to storm the place and were flummoxed by the idea they would have to organically grow an audience and that someone who didn't want to talk to them could nuke every interaction they ever had from orbit
