I haven't seen anyone else talk about it, so I wanted to share that Logan's rant monologue insulting Wade in the Honda Odyssey, before Wade decides to beat him up and they ~fight~ all night... that so clearly to me, was Logan projecting. It started as a tempered rant to cope with how annoyed and pent up he was, with the heat of everything and with Wade's muchness that makes him, him, but the longer he went on, the more he started ranting and exposing himself in the process.

"THE XMEN REJECTED YOU, AND THEY'LL TAKE FUCKING ANYONE!!!" That was my first hit, that he was referring to himself. He sees himself so lowly, so failed, that's canonical to the film. And canonically, he didn't even quite originally feel worthy or want to be with the XMEN. Didn't feel like there was a place for him there, a place for him anywhere. One of his biggest healings was Professor X not giving up on helping him believe that he deserved to be there, was wanted, was worthy, was a good guy. That's canon to his character. So we know he was speaking about himself. He was chewing Wade out, but he was also talking and focusing moreso on what upset him about himself. (He sees himself as just any jo shmo, when he IS literally THE X MAN ㅠㅠ)

He was seeing himself in Wade, how he "can't even save a relationship with a gd stripper", (he sees himself as not able to save anything either, and he's angry for that more than anything else he's angry or annoyed at) projecting SO HARD as he pieced together saying it out loud, that Wade was exactly like him. Logan hated himself for not saving anything. For being a "loser", a "failure", for all of the same reasons he was lashing out at Wade for. He was so angry and annoyed by Wade reminding him of himself, because he related to him. Wade was his reflection, in his eyes, calling him out so loudly with his own behaviors. And he hated himself. He deeply was suffering with that hatred for himself, and as a result, he lashed out on Wade when really he was chewing out himself, inside, admitting it.

"God's CRUELEST JOKE, IS THAT YOU *WONT* DIE ALONE. BECAUSE YOU! CANT! DIE! SO THE REST OF US HAVE TO SUFFER YOU THE REST OF OUR EXISTENCE!" (something along that.)

He didn't know for sure that Wade can't die. He picked up on that Wade can't be killed. Logan is the one who can't die. They are two flipped sides of the same immortal power coin. When he finished his screaming at him, and everyone was silent at how cruel and shocking the confrontation and his words were, I was sinking with a very empathetically whispered "oh, Logan..." Because I felt his misery. I immediately picked up on him really talking about himself, and I think that was genius and layered. I was upset for how awful that was to say to Wade, heartbroken for Wade taking that to heart, and I was heartbroken that Logan was saying that because he believes that about himself. Because they are, oddly, a lot alike. Very compatible.

This scene here:

I read that Hugh said that Ryan wrote that. He's brilliant with these films. It was so genius. I really needed to share this and bring this thought, meta, analysis to light. For all of us to have.

Is Logan mad at God's "cruel joke" of his immortality, yet ability to feel so much pain through it still? Yes. He punched the roof in rage, because it's not fair. Venting his own pain. He sees his powers, his own and Wade's too, empathetically, as their curse. The curse of being the one who lives, and the guilt with that. The one who can't die. The one who lives, who is forced to live, while everyone who "deserves to live" dies. And WILL die, around them.

"And You can't die. That's on all of US!" Logan says, clearly referring to himself living forever... And "us" being the people HE loved. He saw himself as a burden for existing with them, for them. He deflected that onto Wade, as if the people in Wade's life must feel that way too, but didn't really mean that. He meant it about himself. Logan believes he was a burden on the people he loves, the people he lost. That's probably why he left too, and didn't come back when they called out for him to. He distanced himself to protect them, and protect himself from that fear of rejection that he feels is so imminent, and them not having him, is the one element that led to none of them surviving without him. He was always the key. He was always wanted, and he was always important and needed. He just couldn't ever believe that.

Man, that's why it became so personal for Logan too, when he was shown Wade's photograph of his family. Because HE had a family, and he would do anything now to save them. Just like Wade. He held that photograph all night, he went and got it when it fell out of the car, he kept looking at it. It became personal for him, when he identified with it. That Honda scene really was their turning point of everything. That's when Logan cared with everything. He got it. Wade is the him he couldn't be. But now he can.

I dropped some heat with this one.

Extra little personal context/thought notes: Maybe I just spotted it because I have a natural knack for psychology, I'm hyperobservant, highly empathetic and deeply feeling, and I'm also years experienced of my parents and whole family treating me the same exact toxic lashout way almost every other day. That's a workweek for me to see through toxic lashout anger BS. These are not my gifs!!! They were created by another amazing account. I will refind their @ and tag them!! >>> It's @landoslastnerve ! Thank you friend! 🤍

Also wanted to include someone's tags from those gifs:

Final X-Men Movie Tier List Update- Deadpool & Wolverine (Non-Spoiler)

Now finally back from D&W and it was a great movie! I loved the fight scenes with the first fight between Wade and Logan and the last fight being standouts. Logan and Wade are just great together here and how they develop their friendship is the best part. Cassandra Nova is gleefully sadistic here and a great performance put there.

I can't really go too much since that will go into spoilers, but there are surprises here that made me happy. However, I will say that my last post was strangely fitting here since the main message of the movie is preserving legacies, even if they aren't well liked as they are now.

And that's that, all the X-Men movie from Fox and now including D&W, so now all that's left is...

THE FINAL RANKING (in my opinion)

#14. X-Men: The Last Stand- A movie that just pisses me off the more I think about it.

#13. X-Men Origins: Wolverine- An eh movie with some interesting stuff, but that's it.

#12. The New Mutants- Very interesting premise, but it was alright.

#11. X-Men: Apocalypse- An ok movie carried by Erik.

#10. X-Men: Dark Pheonix- Very good first half but falls apart through the other half. Really wished there was a retry for this one.

#9. Deadpool 2- Good movie with moments and characters that I liked, but not as good as....

#8. Deadpool- A good, funny movie that redeems fans hope for Wade in this franchise.

#7. The Wolverine- Very underrated movie that should deserve some more attention honestly.

#6. X-Men- A damn good way to start off this whole franchise.

#5. Deadpool & Wolverine- A great movie that serves as an excellent send off to the franchise.

#4. X-Men: First Class- Great movie that shows the start of Charles wanting peace between mutants and humans and the rise of Erik becoming Magneto. Great performances by McAvoy and Fassbender.

#3. X2- Takes everything from the first film and elevates it to 11. Best villain of the whole franchise with Cox as Stryker and the great film debut of Kurt.

#2. X-Men: Days of Future Past- Amazing time travel movie with a great dynamic of Logan and Charles, an iconic moment with Peter, and the best climax in the entire series.

#1. Logan- A straight up masterpiece that I just love talking about since I first watched it.

‘The Fall Guy’ Shortchanges Story for Stunts in a Story About Stunts

‘The Fall Guy’ Shortchanges Story for Stunts in a Story About Stunts; 3/10

By: Will Hume In the sprawling landscape of contemporary cinema, where blockbusters vie for attention and hearts, The Fall Guy arrives with the swagger of a daredevil aiming for stardom. Two years ago, Tom Cruise set the sky ablaze with Top Gun: Maverick, a cinematic declaration that proclaimed, “This movie is worth it because you’re worth it.” But now, in the shadow of that towering success,…

Marvel Movie Nights: Deadpool 2

You know, after watching Infinity War - this is a real pallet cleanser. And, clearly Marvel studios owed Fox at this point, right? I mean, all the Disney and MCU references -- yeah. And you know what, Deadpool fits in more than one would think.

I'm so glad they made a Thanos joke.

Anyway, review...

When I watched Deadpool for the first time, I was generally surprised that a movie that was so crass and uber violent would be really kind of enjoyable. And, I honestly feel the same way about this one.

Gratuitous violence with a 12yo boy potty humor has never been my cup of tea. The thing that saves these films, and really has me giving my respect to Ryan Reynolds, is the fact that there's genuine heart underneath all the snark (as someone who really gets Deadpool would know and do). So, sure, it's still an uber violent, crass parody of a superhero film. But deep down inside - it still cares.

The plot, honestly, is a little thin. It's still structured the same way every superhero film is -- to the point that I did get a little bored about half way through, but at least the ending picked up and was far more entertaining than the somewhat bland ending to the first film.

I think, for me, what really makes it are the characters -- the new ones Cable and Domino and omg did they really bring in Rusty Collins?? -- work pretty well, as well as bringing back pretty much all of the old cast. They're all such a delight to watch.

And then the fourth wall breaking meta commentary about super hero films -- it's just so great. I can do without dick and ball jokes, but my god, give me all the filmmaking meta commentary. It's really the best part of the film. (And oh man - are there some deep cuts in this one. I'm proud of myself for getting most of them.)

Final Verdict: It's enjoyable, Ryan Reynolds did not let me down (even if at times it's rather predictable and slightly dull in that it's a tad too long). But I am so ready for Deadpool 3. Welcome to the MCU Deadpool! Hope you survive the experience!

Next Up: Ant-Man and the Wasp. Oh, right, back to normal superhero shenanigans!

Deadpool 2 - The Soundtrack

Rating: ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[theconnoisseurreviews]

2024 was a year of Sequels and prequels, here are My Top 5 Sequels of 2024. Some didn't live up to the legacy of their predecessor, but 1 or 2 stand of the their originals.

The crazy thing is, if they would have let Wade join the Avengers then, 6 years ago when they rejected him (before everything went crazy in the world), he would have found a way to kill Thanos so easily, and so many others would still be alive.

[batvilletv]

If Todd Phillips really is done with DC Universe after Joker 2... what a disappointment of a film. Where will this Joker character go from here? A cliffhanger like The Sopranos. That's it, you just sopranos joker. But shitier.

MOVIES 2024!

I want to talk about some movies I watched this year that I LOVE!

I watched these alone by myself in the theater! I love them and have no one to talk with about them so I'm vomiting my word salad here on Tumblr. I don't expect anyone to read or care but I want to get this out of me some how

DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE :

Let's get the obvious out of the way. D+W is probably the most successful film to come out this year. It was actually way better than I expected. Everyone loved that movie. What could I say that has not already been said about it. I have it on in the background and have even fallen asleep to it several times. It's really good. Obviously. Now here's some others I really want to talk about, in no particular order.

DUNE PART 2 :

At the beginning of this year I watched Dune Part 2! It was an excellent conclusion to Dune Part 1. That was the first movie I saw in theaters this year and that's all I have to say about that. It was great! Actually, no, I have a bit more to say about it. Dune Part 2 is very sloooowwww paced. After watching House Of The Dragon, which wastes no time telling it's story, Dune Part 2 was almost too slow for me. 5-10 minutes in HOTD gives you so much story. So many things happen within 5-10 mins of HOTD. Dune Part 2 however needs 10-20 minutes to tell the same amount of story or plot. It's sooooo sloooow.

JOKER 2 :

Let's talk about Joker 2 or "Joker Folie à Deux" (also doesn't "Folie a Duex" kinda sound like "fooled you" if you say it just right?). This was a good and bad movie. It was great but also terrible. I loved the cinematography. I liked the acting. I liked the performances. I feel like I understood the story it was trying tell. But also, it was not enjoyable from an audience perspective.

I think many people talk about it like it was a complete disaster and failure but I'm not entirely certain they're looking at it from the same angle the director and cast were.

I think Todd Phillips and company were like: "wait, people actually liked the first movie? The first movie is inspiring incels to commit homicides? We need to stop this right now! But wait, the studios and execs want to give us how much money to make a sequel? Oh boy! Let's make them regret it".

It's hard not for me to feel like they meant for this movie to be a giant slap in the face. That's the Joke. It's telling anyone and everyone who enjoyed the first movie "Psych! You're a joke. Fuck you!". And for that, I think this was good movie. Well played Todd Phillips. I'm not certain what you've accomplished by this but well played.

IT ENDS WITH US :

I never read the book. I had never heard of Colleen Hoover until this film came out. But now this is a movie I could talk forever about.

I LOVED this movie! It's one of the better films I watched this year at the theater. It was so good! The story, the acting, the cinematography, all of it. I love this movie and I love the story. If only the marketing/promotion of it was in harmony with the actual product.

It's a deep heart felt story touching base on a very relevant and important topic. Unfortunately, the main star, Blake Lively, chose to market and promote this film in a way that the public felt was very inappropriate considering the movie's subject matter.

This is a very serious film, but Blake Lively chose to market it like it was the next Barbie film. She tried to promote her own brands not related to the film as well. It really backfired. In fact, the only cast member who spoke of the film appropriately in regards to the subject matter was the male actor who played the bad guy in the film, Justin Baldoni.

There are many theories as to why everything went down the way it did. TikTok has endless TikToks with opinions, perspectives, and ideas.

My personal opinion is Justin Baldoni started the project, Blake Lively and her people slowly took over. Blake and Justin had their own cuts of the film, which they screen tested. Blakes cut lost to Justins. Everyone liked Justins cut more. So Blake and her people decided to run their own marketing campaign. Justin decided to distance himself from the marketing campaign and let Blake do whatever she wanted afterward. For whatever reason, we may never really know why, Blake and her people decided to market the film like it was a girly Barbie bubble gum light-hearted flick (which it's NOT). And that completely backfired.

Still, Blake's mistaken marketing campaign does NOT subtract from her performance in the film, nor how good this movie actually is. Please go see it for yourself. It's an amazing movie with a very important and relevant subject matter! This one is the second best movie I watched in theaters this year! Now let's talk about my first pick for best film 2024...

THE SUBSTANCE :

This movie was marketed as a body horror, semi-feminist, film. It was talked about online as a movie that challenges the "male gaze" and the status quo of beauty standards.

But I will say this : not once did I feel like this movie was pushing an agenda onto me. I did not feel like this movie even had an agenda whatsoever. It just told a story of Elizabeth Sparkle. And it was beautiful! It was so intimate, dark, twisted, introspective, fucked up, and relatable! I loved this movie!

Say less! Show don't tell! There's not a lot of dialogue. This movie does such a great job with the visual story telling. There's so many subtle nods to other great movies that came before it like The Fly, Holy Mountain, Akira, Requiem For A Dream, Stanley Kubrick, etc.

I cannot explain how powerful this movie is. It's a roller coaster of emotions. I wanted to cry, I laughed at it's random sense of humor, I was on the edge of my seat, at times I wanted to look away but couldn't.

After the movie ended, I made the long walk back to my car, and just sat there for 10 minutes being thankful for everything I have left in my life. I thought to myself "I don't want to wish for a better life ever again anymore. I want to love myself and love the life I've got. I want to take care of my self today so my tomorrow-self can be happy".

GO WATCH "THE SUBSTANCE" MOVIE!

Of all the movies I watched this year, The Substance, is my personal favorite. I intend to buy a physical copy of it on DVD when that becomes available, just to have.

You can stream The Substance movie via it's distributor MUBI

€6283 -> €7000

We want to reach the second goal €717

Donations are almost non-existent. Every second that passes puts our lives in danger.

"please Reblog or Donate as much as you can "

Ahed's ( @ahedalshaer ) finally reached her short term goal of €6,000 euros. to be honest it scares me how long it took her to get to this point - donations have been slowing, and I'm worried. Ahed has worked really hard to continue getting her campaign to circulate and she deserves better than this. I'm genuinely so glad that we've reached 6K! but please, don't stop now, and please help Ahed build momentum.

here's her fundraiser. she's working tirelessly to provide for her family right now and is in danger every day - I'd appreciate it so much if you could help get her to 7K by the end of this weekend!

Ahed is vetted here! #407 on the doc.

CURRENTLY AT €6,193 / €7,000 SHORT TERM GOAL !

i wish i still had it in me to keep spamming all of my random thoughts on here like it's my public diary. don't know how i had the balls to do that back in the day.
