Mel Brooks to write, direct and star in Deadpool movie. Pre-order your tickets now

You know, I said this as a joke, but if you took all the goofy stupid stuff from Blazing Saddles, Robin Hood MIT, Spaceballs and HOTW pt1, threw it in a blender and gave it a coat of red and black paint, you might have a decent Deadpool movie.

gently caress...I really want to see that.


Also Mel has an awesome twitter account.

I don't like it when you're watching me eat.
I'm just picturing all the goofy, off the wall scenes from Mel Brooks movies that would fit in a Deadpool theme
-Notching six arrows on a bow and firing them so they pin a guy to a tree
-Having to zoom in on a picture of DP killing some guy, and you see another DP waaay in the background, giving the finger
-Having an alien bust out of some guy's chest and then have it do a song and dance routine. Tell me you can't see it with a deadpool mask on now.

The Action Man posted:

I would love to watch Deadpool chase the villain of his movie through a screening of his movie.

Exactly.

It doesn't have to be Mel Brooks behind it, but that is the kind of humor that would work for deadpool. It wouldn't get old too fast, but it has that element of random WTF to it.

If you want kind of funny, goofy, silly mixed with semi-serious action, how about Bill Zane in Demon Knight? He's an rear end in a top hat, he quips, he heals fast, and he has bizarre superpowers, including an impromptu dance number.

My favorite part starts at about 7:11 and goes for about a minute - minus the bad jump cut. He's more annoyed that he lost a par of sunglasses than getting stabbed in the eye.

More Sony Spider-Man e-mail hillariousness.

This is Drew Goddard writing to Amy Pascal in June on how they're going to pitch playing Sandman in Sinister Six over Dr. Strange to Tom Hardy

Drew Goddard posted:

I/m gonna write him up a note this weekend. But, off the top of my head, some possible talking points are:

- We're doing something different - it's time to celebrate the bad guys for once.
-We're inspired by the classic team/mission of movies: Dirty Dozen, Magnificent Seven, Guns of Navarone. We want that spirit, that SWAGGER.
- If the Spider-Man franchiseis the Beatles, then we're the Sex Pistols.
-Flint Marco is gonna steal the show.
-The character is pure id - the anarchic enthusiast of the team. A chance to have FUN while celebrating being bad.
-Tom embodies that anarchy, that triumphant nihilism - we've seen him tap into that spirit before in roles like Bronson, but now we have the chance to crank the volume up to ELEVEN.
-He's gonna storm through London at the end like God-f***ing-zilla. That is not purple prose. He'sgoing to be AS TALL AS A SKYSCRAPER in the third act of the movie. What does Dr. Strange have? Magic tricks? [frick] you, magic tricks - we've got a skyscraper Tom Hardy knocking down buildings!!!!

Why does Sony seem intent on making Sandman into some kind of giant sand monster? They already did that in Spider-Man 3 and it wasn't good. I don't recall it happening that often in the comics either.

Also these e-mails seem to indicate that they've thrown away the assumed Sinister Six Lineup that ASM2 teased (Goblin, Electro, Rhino, Kraven, Ock, Vulture)

What? Peter and Harry teaming up to fight giant Sandman was one of the few legitimately great parts of that movie.

And it's kind of the natural endpoint for any series of battles involving Sandman. I'm pretty sure it actually does happen in the comics relatively frequently, though I don't see why that should even enter into things.

I think I just don't like that when he's in giant mode he turns into a mindless, roaring monster. Turning giant worked as a boss battle, but I would've preferred he retained his ability to speak.

A. No idea, because literally no one I know of cares about the spider man sandman as a villain.
B. It happened a couple times but sandman is easily defeated by a vacuum cleaner as shown above
C. Sony is super stupid when it comes to managing it's spider man IP license. They had two ok movies with Toby, and were like "ok now shove Venom into the plot in a way that is inaccurate/doesn't make sense!" and Raimi basically said "fine, but I'm going to do it horribly". Then they rebooted ASM, had one good film and were like "We have to create a multiverse out of this ASAP" and ASM2 happened.

As much as everyone would like to see a sinister 6 movie, no one is going to like a sinister 6 movie that is put out by the current idiots in charge. Were they smart, they'd give the 90's fans ( a decent majority of the superhero moviegoing public these days) a not terrible symbiote storyline. Give me Brock as Venom and Cletus as Carnage and you'd have a huge hit. Instead they are trying to focus on characters that no one who read comics past the 70's cares about. Doc Ock was good, Lizard was good, no one cares about The Vulture or the worst Hobgoblin or Sandman or the Goblin that covered an incredible actors face for all the villain moments. They literally cannot figure out how to get the series right, which is where Marvel is spanking them so hard, they prob have execs literally browbeating scriptwriters with "You better come up with something that makes Avengers money or you're fired!" every hour on the hour like J Jonah Jameson.

Well, they proved you could do a full face mask with Iron Man, so maybe this will do something similar with it sliding out of the way/interior shots of his face during battles.

It'll inevitably work like Tony's visor coming up, or Star Lord's mask folding away or whatever. 90% of the concept art for GotG leading up to it had SL with his full mask on, and in the actual movie he's got it on for all of a handful of scenes.
