We watched the new Deadpool last night. It was... okay. I enjoyed the first two quite a bit, but this one felt like it went full Marvel/Disney. Well, as full Disney as it could and still keep the Deadpool character, and not have singing animated sidekicks. If you're a Marvel superhero fanboy, you'll get all the jokes, cameos, and storyline linked to the complete Marvel universe. If you're not... you kind of sit there.

We walked to a pasta shop beforehand and each had a plate of house-made pasta, which was okay and much better than getting a burger and fries during the movie. I knew the 7 PM showing meant a late night, and even with catching a passing cab right away we didn't get home until close to 10. I am feeling that lack of sleep today.

Sad to hear that it's gotten more Disneyfied. I was in Hall H at SDCC when they did their Deadpool/Wolverine celebration bit and all the later movie announcements, and the whole shebang felt kinda underwhelming, which is a heck of a thing to say when they bring out a full stage choir twice, do flying cars, and other flashy nonsense. It felt like they were trying to be seen to pull out all the stops without any substance to it.

Even so, I'm looking forward to getting around to see the movie. I think I want to make a point of having seen Logan first, and I'm not in a huge rush. I'll probably get most of the references.

I hope you can get more rest this weekend.
