Pussy!

Iron Man 3 coming off the first Avengers made 175 million in the first weekend and a hair over 400 million overall. The problem is I don't think it's quite clear yet what "movies like this" Deadpool is similar to. Is it truly going to be a word of mouth sensation like American Sniper or Passion? Or is it going to be a front loaded thing like IM3? Obviously Deadpool has been a lot better received. Guardians of the Galaxy is probably a better example since it had great worth of mouth. It ended up with $333M off a weaker opening but great weekend drops. That's why I said the second weekend drop will be more telling than this weekend. I don't know, just seems like it's not such an obviously, slam dunk thing to be knocking etchazz for.

And they are the leads of almost every film they have been in. The cast is picked around them, the sets are built with their height in mind just like Movies have been doing for years...

The casting director isn't going to star a 6 foot 2 Ryan Reynolds opposite Cruise, unless he wants this shit..




It severely limits a directors options if he has to shoot from below, or shoot in forced perspective.

So yes it's a problem. For somebody like Cruise they could make an exception, but for a nobody like Steven Lang who has to go to twitter to get a casting director to notice him. Not happening..

He doesn't even look like Cable anyway, Cable isn't a 62 year old man with a chicken neck.

Saw this yesterday. Really enjoyed it. I feel my comic book hipster is being vindicated since I was talking up GotG / Deadpool to my wife years ago and now she's a fan of both.

by the powers of peer pressure i caved and watched this movie. was funny as hell and there was good fight scenes. it made up for the no mouth deadpool in wolverine. glad i watched it.

For some reason when I think of someone around 6'8" playing Cable, I think of Kevin Nash. Not sure he has remotely enough acting chops, but I dunno. He's def tall enough, LOL

Cable is not an eloquent guy. Cable just grunts and grimaces. A live camel could take care of it.

Finally saw the movie (I hate opening nights these days) and it was amazing. The story was a little flat but the humor more than made up for it. 9/10 easily, and I can see subsequent watches being just as enjoyable.

I don't give a single fuck how tall the actor playing Cable will be and neither will anyone but some spastic nerds no one gives a shit about.

Funny that's what they thought about X men Origins.

Earth to idiot people care to the tune of 135 million opening weekend...

Nash's wrestling days have put him out of commission as an action star. And, Cable is incredibly intelligent. Unchecked, he's a better psychic than Xavier. The only person in Hollywood that your going to find that is 6'8" is gonna be someone like Dolph lundgren. I don't really like his acting, so I don't know if I like him for cable, but he's got a good look for him

It was a crap film because they refused to respect the original material, like all the rest of the duds that came before it.

Marvel starts respecting the source material , and boom! box office smashes.

Fantastic Four says We know better then the nerds, and much like your life it was a colossal failure.

Devils in the details my slow friend. ;}

Obviously we're going about this all wrong. Some one summon Kuriin to pick the appropriate "Silver Daddy" for the job.
