One of my preferred local theaters doesn't allow anyone under 17 into an R rated film after 6pm even with an adult. I'm sure it sucked for 15-17 year olds but it's fantastic for everyone else. Because any other theater there's always some rear end in a top hat bringing a 10 year old kid into some movie they absolutely shouldn't be at and ruining it for others.

Here in the UK it's straight-up illegal to let kids into movies they're too young for. Apart from 12A, under 12's can get into those if they're accompanied by an adult. I think the first 12A movie was the first Sam Raimi Spider-Man, before that it was just 12 and under 12's weren't allowed in at all. Deadpool's been rated 15 over her.

The only time I had childs ruin my experience was when parents brought a bunch of kids to the Ang Lee Hulk, and that was 100% marketing's fault.

Honestly it's adults who ruin my movie going experience more either due to using/talking on their phone or trying to be a comedian and quip at the movie.

Theoretically how rich would one need to be to just get a copy of a movie delivered for your home theater room on theatrical release? Surely everything has a price, but I assume there are rules about what legally constitutes a theater or whatever.

Deadpool was good, the right mix of comedy and pathos the character needs and the humor was rapid fire but not "Lol random"

They had green Hulk slurpee cups and hulk hands and commercials with badass rock music, all aimed at children. Everyone wanted to make this the new Spider-man, except the guy actually making the stupid movie. It's insane, did no one drop by the set to check what was going on? Like, they sold it as basically Iron Man, but then audiences got some depressing poo poo that featured a woman getting stabbed in the heart in front of her son. No loving wonder people weren't happy.

Projector and other stuff is on you) and I think $500 for a 24 hour rental. Edit: $35k, and they require you buy a 10 rental package up front. So $40k to get it installed. It's called Prima.

I dont want to start a huge argument but I have to say this every time the movie comes up in conversation, I really, really like Ang Lee's Hulk. It's definitely in my top five movies featuring Marvel characters.

Apparently Deadpool is beating even the most optimistic projections box office wise so far. Looking like it may be near $90 million domestic on opening weekend. It may end up being the best R rated opening of all time. I've been dying for this to come out but even I thought it would be a modest niche success at best. The marketing campaign they pulled off seems to have been a miracle.

I'm presuming at this rate they'll triple the money they put into it or something before blurays come along.

I don't know how marketing is budgeted but as annoying as it was, the marketing for Deadpool was way more thought out and persistent than most Fox movies.

Second time I saw it, I hated it. Third time I saw it I balanced out to "it has some good bit and some astonishingly terrible, stupid bits." They definitely tried some interesting things, but I feel like very few of them actually worked. On the other hand, Hulkified lap dogs.

Hulk in that movie expressed sheer, unabated rage better than any Hulk we've seen on screen since then. The 'puny human' scene was especially well done. The entire lab escape/desert fight/city rampage sequence is incredible and still beats most of the action set pieces in the Avengers movies. I think I'll watch it again this weekend, in fact. And the Hulk poodles were awesome, bizarre, and hilarious.

I'm just messing with you! Hey, it's not so bad. I was in a bad movie too! Yeah. Remember? I was in that ONE bad movie. And you were in... let's see... How many bad movies were you in...?" *slowly lifts up four fingers*

It's interesting all the quirks it has. It downloads everything that's released by participating studios each week, so that it's ready to go right away when you want to watch it and so your $500 movie rental isn't interrupted by a service outage. It uses a fingerprint sensor so only the authorized user can use it. And that $500 rental is for one viewing, not as much as you want in 24 hours. It requires a background check, you need to have a room that seats fewer than 25 people to put it in, and you're required to have a public static IP for it. You can pause, but not rewind. You can't move the system or it self destructs.

I know it probably just breaks down if you attempt to seriously move it but I just picture someone's dog running into the side and their house going up in a fireball.

Deadpool made a record $41 million on Friday alone and is now on track for a $115 million 4 day weekend. Will in all certainty be the highest opening R rated film of all time.
