This is one of those movies Ive seen so much I've almost memorized all the lines from Albert, Armand, and Agadore.

As much as I love the cast, The Birdcage is a reboot of an old black and white, which is a reboot of a stage play, I think this could use a reboot, with some updated pronouns, and casting, as long as the central story structure stays farcical I think there really could be an audience, might do some good, I know this was one of the movies that "normalized" lgbtq stuff with my family. This movie got me through puberty in so many ways.​

Black and white? The stageplay is from the early 1970s and the French movie from 1978, but not in B&W. Is there also a retro version? Or is the stageplay itself based on something older?

It's most likely i saw a degraded clip from a home movie of the play, and they showed black and white production stills of behind the scenes shots with the director and crew shooting the film, i learned about it being a reboot from a behind the scenes featurette i saw on e! when i was a kid. i didnt remember the dates. Thank you for the clarifying information ^_^

Saw Deadpool & Wolverine today. it was enjoyable, although it didn't feel quite as good as the first two films. Still, it has its moments.

There's a wide cast and some fun cameos, which I won't mention here. I think I caught them all.

Obviously from the trailers it involves the TVA, which is handled as well or possibly better than the Loki TV show -- maybe in part because Deadpool is campy to start with, whereas the show couldn't figure out what it was.

Despite my not drinking much ahead of time and going to the BR twice before the film, my bladder about exploded in the last twenty minutes and I just couldn't stay through the credits. I did read about the final credit clip, which would have been really funny. Again, can't comment without spoilering some of the more fun surprises of the actual film.

They didn't even fridge Monica again, they just used her as the most basic form of motivation (along with most of the other old cast) for this film -- so is that even worse? I dunno. She's gotten dogged pretty hard after the original Deadpool.

Hugh Jackman is pretty great as expected.

I guess I can say that coming to Disney did not stop the R level of language, sex, and violence we have grown to expect from Deadpool and in fact this film might even have more of it as if they were trying to prove a point.

at first my brain thought the rest of that sentence was gonna be: "the film was pretty good."
Lol -- obviously I meant fluids, the last thing I need is a hangover headache on top of everything else.... but drinking shows up a lot in Deadpool. :D

What a lame ass move.
They're obviously desperate.

Of all the things they could have done...

This is one of my "guilty pleasure" films. The science is stupid and so much is overwrought, but somehow it still feels satisfying at the end. The Samuel L Jackson scene still creates buzz.

I know this is a classic, but I've never seen this.

Kevin Conroy would have been the perfect aged Bruce in a Batman Beyond picture.
Since that's impossible, Michael Keaton wouldn't suck.

I need to watch that Flash movie someday because of that, but I'm sure he's not in the movie that much. There's also Nicolas Cage, apparently, which is probably a 30-second cameo.

The Nick Cage cameo is kind of embarrassing. I remember the digital effects looked kind of shoddy. Maybe they've tweaked it by now.
