Most overrated director working today. Go. And don't be afraid to piss people off.
.......oh and NiteOwl and Terminal, YOU LOSE. Nolan is my savior. I'm giving him a sloppy blow job the first chance I get. ;-).....but all dirty comments aside. We need to figure out how to get the chat room up and going. These debates would be super fun and insightful on a quicker pace!!!
I think the fact that this got as insane as it did proved my point, I never once said anything bad about Nolan or his work and was still attacked like I blasphemed against Jesus during Sunday mass or something.
I just think that it's funny that the convo deteriorated down to loving or hating Nolan with you at the focal point Owl. And you didn't even say anything negative. People are passionate about movies. That's what makes MFC great! And it's obvious you hate Nolan Owl. ;)

Sorry I haven't been around much lately Schmoes, the boys over at the new IESB.net asked me to bring some of my Rad over there. So if you're in the neighborhood drop by and leave a comment, I'd really appreciate it. My posts are called Random Awesomeness. Thanks guys.
I'm there for you Rad Dad, since you're always there for threezy! I know you've been on Twitter more than MFC, what's up with that??? LOL!

Adventures of Brisco County Jr

Haha, is that Bruce???!!! Thank you RadDad, you always know what to do for us Schmoes. I did get a good amount of smiles from this, and you're right I'm not a fan of country, but I'm digging this song and smiling. Is this a movie or something???
RadDad = The Definition of Rad!!! You're so awesome.
Yeah it's Bruce. he did a western/comedy (with a little sci-fi thrown in) tv show back in the 90s called Brisco County Jr. It is absolutely required viewing. It had great action and comedy. It was cancelled in the same way as Firefly. Check it out, you won't be sorry. http://amzn.to/cGq5W1
BRISCO COUNTY JR. is such an awesome, entertaining, and strange hybrid of western and sci-fi. Very funny show, and Bruce Campbell's great in it. I bought the DVD set when it came out, and every episode was a winner. Worth watching!

My Thoughts On Robert Rodriguez Directing Deadpool
I’ve had some time to mull over the possiblity of Robert Rodriguez helming the Deadpool project, and here is what I came up with: I don’t like it.
Deadpool, or The Merc with the Mouth as he is known by his adoring fans, started off as a rip-offf of Deathstroke, but has evolved into a really great character in his own right. And I just don’t see Rodriguez pulling this off.
You see, I drank the Robert Rodriguez Kool-aid a long time ago, (it’s in the same aisle as the Tarantino, and Kevin Smith flavors). I bought in to his whole Rebel Without a Crew schtick (litterly, I have the hard cover). But his career has been hit and miss, I could give you a break down of which ones I liked and which I didn’t, but you already know which ones sucked. I just don’t understand how people excuse him time and again for making bad films. Someone please stop him from making Spy Kids 4!
I just feel that his style would not play to what the movie would need. I don’t want to see a Deadpool movie made in a green screen warehouse in Austin. It needs to be rough and gritty with practical effects. A huge spectacle, big explosions!
What Rodriguez does best is talk. Talk about how much he loves movies and comics and we eat it up. He had everybody drooling in anticipation for Predators, and then we get a mediocre rip-off of the original. Now I know he didn’t direct that one, he hired a Nimrod for that.
I just don’t trust a director that has had a ‘D’ career with a potential ‘A’ franchise. Oh, and I no longer drink Kool-Aid, of any flavor.

Yeah Robert's had his hits and misses but he takes risks. He does the projects he wants to do for the most part and what the hell at least the guy's making some original ideas. Like or dislike Spy Kids. I would've loved the shit out of those movies as a kid.
I got no problem with him doing something he's inspired to do.
Also, I don't see Deadpool turning into a franchise. I think it will eventually be made into a movie. I'd be surprised if it ends up not being disappointing to it's fans. It's just too offbeat from what the commercial crowds are into. Apart from the fans I think non-fans are just going to be kinda hard to get interested in this.
But if it turns out to be awesome than I'm all for that.
I really think that RR is probably the best choice for a deadpool flick, I can't really think of a director that would probably be better at it other than maybe Timur Bekmambetov or Joe Carnahan. I would have preferred it to be an animated film, i think it would suit things like the breaking the fourth wall and also pool-o-vision better. But I like the RR choice, his films are a lot of Tarantino-ish dialogue with OTT action and that is pretty much what the Deadpool comics are just now. Plot always seems to be secondary on a deadpool book now and that's how the film should go.
Deadpool is all character, if they don't get a director that can handle that, then you can plug in any second-rate action director to do the job. I'm sure Uwe Boll is available.

What one thing could make the Scott Pilgrim Vs The World game even more awesome? Zombies.

Movie based games are rarely memorable but this looks worthy of being checked out.
