That spoiler will appeal to kids who love the franchise and think it's innovative, or annoy movie-philes who think it's lazy writing to break the fourth wall. |

Actually , they are playing the original Deadpool on cable. I did appreciate one particular fourth wall break Blind Al: Looks aren't everything. Deadpool: Looks ARE everything! Ever heard Dave Beckham speak? It's like he mouth-sexed a can of helium. You think Ryan Reynolds got this far on a superior acting method? Foreign audiences are eating it up $420 million from foreign theaters for first Deadpool, and it wasn't shown in China $175 million from foreign theaters for second Deadpool in only 3 days |

Wizard Administrator Member since: Oct 23, 2012 Threads: 239 Posts: 6095 | I don't remember if it was this thread, but some of you thought I would like the movie True Lies. I could take only about 20 minutes and had to stop. It was too painful. Whoever thought I would like it apparently doesn't know me very well. I wish I could get that 20 minutes of my life back. Well, Tia Carrere is something to look at, but that wasn't enough to save the movie. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

One of my fave Jamie Lee Curtis movies. That and A Fish Called Wanda. Why didn't you like it. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 189 Posts: 18762 | I thought "True Lies" was one of Arnold's action comedy that really worked pretty well. Tom Arnold was also good match up. But I don't remember much about the first 20 minutes. Maybe it only got good at 21 minutes. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

beachbumbabs Member since: Sep 3, 2013 Threads: 6 Posts: 1600 | Im one who thought you would like it. Definitely had to give it more than 20 minutes, though. It starts out with a Bond-like action sequence that turns out to be an elaborate joke on itself, but you don't know that until quite a bit later. Never doubt a small group of concerned citizens can change the world; it's the only thing ever has |

I am trying to think of movies that are unwatchable. Not just mediocre, but truly unwatchable. True Lies was the third most popular films of 1994 behind Forrest Gump and The Lion King. Normally films that were that popular are at least entertaining enough that you can usually watch them all the way to the end. Some of the few popular films that are completely unwatchable were the Twilight Movies IMHO. Out of the most popular 100 films I have never seen "Black Panther" and "Avengers: Infinity War" because they are new, but the only one I have never watched was "The Passion of the Christ". It just has no appeal to me. I did just see "Jurassic World" which I found sterile compared to the other Jurassic Park films. But it wasn't bad enough that I had to turn it off.
