I guess that made up for not having a Stan Lee cameo, unless I missed it. But then I don't think he could have topped his cameo from the first deadpool.

He doesn't physically appear but he is painted on a building. I think it was during the sequence where they're jumping out of the plane.

I had read prior to the movie about three cameos. One was the Vanisher. The other two were the dickheads at the truck when Cable arrives in present time. One was supposed to be Matt Damon and the other was an actor I can’t remember his name. So I’m looking and looking and if that was Matt Damon, it was a lot of makeup.

Alan Tudyk was the third guy, but I couldn't recognize him or Damon the second time I watched the movie.

I was late to the party on this one, but I enjoyed it to a similar level to the first. I think the comedy and action might have been a little better, while the story was weaker. I agree that the film really took off from the parachute jump.

Couldn't quite believe who the vanisher was initially. I did however immediately notice that Juggernaut sounded like Marcus Fenix.

Agreed. On the first viewing I liked it quite a bit but felt that it wasn't quite as good as the first one.

However, after my second viewing I think I'd put it about equal. As you said, stronger in some ways and weaker in others (in the ways you mentioned). I think I also had a better audience with the second viewing, and that can often contribute to the experience with funny movies.

That was awesome. Though his death was a bit childish, even for this movie.

He wasn't dead. He was climbing out of the pool at the end.

Saw this today and enjoyed it. Loved the scenes with Blind Al, and laughed a lot at the baby legs.

with a modest production budget of $110 million, and currently at $707 worldwide, Fox has to be extremely pleased.

Honest Trailer featuring Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool.

In the most bizarre news today, Deadline says Deadpool 2 is being re-released on December 21 in a PG-13 edit.

Will it be five minutes long?

They probably had fun making the edited-for-content version that is distributed in public exhibition spaces like airplanes and network television and figured, why not?

 

[Adam Lenhardt]

I wouldn't be surprised if this is a Disney thing. They don't really do hard R movies, so this could be a low-profile test run to see if there's a version of Deadpool that works in their PG-13 comfort zone.

 

[Jake Lipson]

I thought the same thing, Robert. Because the acquisition isn't complete yet, I'm not sure how much Disney will have direct input in this, but they'll certainly look at the results closely.

The December release calendar is so crowded, though, I really wonder how much impact a re-release will have versus the new films, even if it is a different cut.

It's also possible that interested under-17s actually saw Deadpool 2 over the summer by snaking into it after paying for something else, so may not feel the need to pay again to see the PG13 version.

At least they've already made their money on the original release, so whatever this does is essentially gravy.

I thought the same thing, Robert.

Me too, Frank!

Can anyone explain that tweet a few posts back? I totally don't get it.

Isn't that grown up Fred Savage and their spoof on "The Princess Bride" with Peter Falk reading a story to Savage.

 

[Mike Frezon]

Got me.

I hated The Princess Bride and don't know about any connections with Savage and Falk or anything. If that's Savage, I didn't recognize him. It's a joke that is totally lost on me.

Not the first time. Won't be the last.

That's it. I'm surprised you hate "The Princess Bride", but everybody's mileage varies on film appreciation.

 

[Mike Frezon]

Everybody and their brother told me how much I'd love Princess Bride. I couldn't abide it. Seemed like the dumbest thing I ever saw.

It really is weird how that works out sometimes. I know how beloved that film is and how much it's quoted, etc. I watched it and totally didn't get it.

Another thought:

The original Deadpool (which, incidentally, I personally think is vastly superior to this one) never got a PG-13 release. It seems odd to prepare a PG-13 cut of a sequel to a movie that, theoretically, the younger audience hasn't seen instead of doing it with the first film first.
