This one's for Aretha and Matt. In The Blues Brothers, when they go to the soul food diner to recruit Matt Murphy and Blue Lou, Elwood signals his presence to Matt by ordering dry white toast. Earlier when he takes Jake to his rented room, he's cooking white toast on the heater and doesn't appear to have anything to spread on it.

I’d say Elwood Blues is meant to be a very dry person who never drinks anything, but then Bob from Bob’s Country Bunker has a bar tab that says otherwise. Also Elwood used the wrong glass for his champagne.

That’s odd for someone going to become a priest.* *I think the scene where he quits his job at the spray can factory** and tells his boss he’s going to become a priest is on the extended cut. **that’s also why he has several aerosol cans throughout the movie.

Yeah that's in the extended cut, which is a mixed bag. That scene isn't bad, like you say it explains where the cans came from, but it has Elwood without his sunglasses, which I think slightly spoils the scene where Jake takes off his glasses. There's also an extended scene with John Lee Hooker that should never have been cut from the theatrical release, but most other bits I remember either add nothing or were bad.

Worst extended cut for a classic 80’s comedy was the Stripes one. The extra scenes were cut out for a reason. Something I never noticed before watching Blues Brothers again yesterday. Carrie Fisher’s salon is called Curl Up & Dye. Also at the end they go through the cast and like everyone is dead except for Dan Ackroyd, Twiggy, and some of the back up band. Aretha finally joined Matt “Guitar” Murphy at their diner in the sky.

I may have mentioned, but a fun subtle moment of sorts is looking at scenes where Deadpool is talking to people and realising how much of what he says is utter nonsense, open insults, or utter nonsense that they can probably figure out is meant to be an insult.

I think they may have undersold it a bit. I'm glad that they don't have everyone going "WOW how WACKY!!" every time Deadpool says something that makes no sense in context but there's a tendency (especially in the first movie) to just have people not react at all, which removes the insanity layer and makes it look like it's just supposed to be a regular 4th wall gag. Part of what makes Deadpool 2's chemistry work is that Domino and Cable are way better than most of the other actors at emoting responses to Deadpool's craziness, while still not making a big deal out of it.

Something I only realised after the movie ended was that Deadpool's Juggernaut was actually a pretty decent guy. His first act on being broken out was to save Russell from Cable's bullet. Then he spends time with him and they go clothes shopping. Then he follows him on his quest for revenge for no other reason than he likes smashing stuff up and Russell is his friend. He never even kills anyone. Sure he fights DP and his posse, but from his perspective they're all trying to kill the kid who broke him out.

Actually kind of fitting with his usual comics characterisation, which kind of makes the Juggernaut extra scary; he simply doesn't care about anything in between him and his goal, and he's a perfectly rational and sane magically empowered human being otherwise... who simply enjoys utterly annihilating whatever pisses him off and exercising his immense power. (which suits his patron god of destruction Cyttorak nicely) He's unstoppable not just because he's invincible, incredibly strong, and doesn't need food, water, air or sleep, but he also can't be reasoned with or appealed to his better nature, he does what he does because he wants to. In a way, worse than the Hulk. And it should say something that he respects the kid's attitude and they get along; the Juggernaut is the perfect role model for a furious mutant who wants brutal revenge on those who've tortured him for nothing more than being what he is- the mutant they fear and hate. Though don't forget he does literally rip Deadpool in half and probably isn't aware (and likely doesn't care) that Deadpool can survive that.

There's a really lovely run of Uncanny X-Men that has the one bright spot of showing Juggernaut becoming something of a father figure of a mutant who is considered to be one of the lamer mutants (Beak, has the power of "looks like a bird"). Juggernaut goes hero for a while and becomes friendly with this kid who needs a mentor figure. And Juggernaut is good at it.

It sounds like Juggarnaut is a flawed and complex character with conflicting emotions and motivations which makes him getting repeatedly electrocuted by a high voltage power line up his rear end that much funnier.

The best subtle gag in Deadpool 2 is the scrolling newsfeed that briefly displays "Christopher Plummer turns down Deadpool 2 role" Meta-Jokes about fan's suggested meta-jokes? That's like 32 walls right there!

That being said, I thought about that too. Once Russel held up his end of the bargain, Juggernaut really had no incentive to hold up his. Yet, he did.
