Really? I thought it was awful compared to the first film.
I disliked the first one so much I skipped the second.
As did I. I thought Deadpool was awful and a waste of time.

And all 3 of you were, and still are, wrong! Deadpool 1 was a great movie. Filled with actions and lots of laughs. Same with 2. I, and thousands of fans, are eagerly awaiting the next great installment in the franchise! :p

I will if the third one is anything like the first. Deadpool was possibly the only superhero crap I could endure.

I’d have to watch the first one to judge. :):) Should I?
Try it? The first film is a story film of how Reynold's character gets to become Deadpool. I thought the humor, adult wise or not, was a lot clever in the first film. The second film focused on several topics culminating together near the end. I will admit the superhero hiring and one-by-one picking off by natural disaster or stupid choice in the second film was rather hilarious.

Three solid matches today. The Barca game next week is going to be riveting.


Still watching the Durrells. Though taking a break. I find binging bores me after a while and I need to watch something else to center my interest again. I spent the last two months binging through 3 shows that lasted 5-7 series at 24 episodes a pop.

Brought over from the Deadwood Thread my list of worthy HBO series :) (the Deadwood Movie was excellent, but you’d have to watch the series first):

Yeah, they really talked that way,and we loved it.

Deadwood was so good, and like my all time favorite 'Carnavale', the early HBO stuff was so much better than anything ever seen on TV, before or since. Those shows spoiled us for all time. a2
There are the HBO series that have really stood out for me and my wife.

Deadwood
(2004)- Life centered in a town created as part of the 1870s South Dakota gold rush. Murdering, swindling, prostitutes and a collection of colorful, some historical characters. It really is a unique series and story.

Rome
(2005) is another MOST excellent HBO series, this one also cancelled just after 2 seasons due to production costs in Italy. I have that series on DVD and will break it out again to watch. Available on HBO and Amazon Prime.

Big Love (2006) about a Mormon fundamentalist family, the trials and tribulations of having multiple wives and keeping it a secret in the suburbs of Salt Lake City.

Six Foot Under (2001) about a family of morticians and the business of death with some macabre elements.

True Blood (2008) Vampires in Louisiana who make their presence known and kinda have integrated into society. It was excellent, then it sucked, because of it veered so badly from the books and Alan Ball’s preoccupation with gayness.

Band of Brothers (2002) Most excellent WWII chronicle about Easy Company, Second Battalion.

Sex and the City (1998j Got us subscribed to HBO. Four women friends living in NYC seeking love and mates. This got syndicated without the nudity.

Westworld (2015)- Now that I am subscribed to HBO, I may stick around to binge watch this.

The Sopranos (1999)- Excellent mob opera.

I’ve seen all of those except Sex in the City. That never really appealed to me. I’d add to the list Mad Men which I think is second only to the Sopranos. I also loved Dexter.

As for HBO shows, I’d highly recommend The Wire and The Newsroom if you haven’t seen them. Veep is excellent as well, the series finale just aired a couple weeks ago.

Sex in the City was more of my wife’s thing, but I ended up invested. :) The only reason I did not include Dexter was because I should not have locked myself into a HBO list.

Dexter
(Showtime) seasons 1&2, about a serial killer with a conscious, who works for the Miami Police Dept as a forensic expert, struggling with his passenger (his victims, they are all bad ;)) is the best TV crime show, and possible the best show I’ve ever watched. Homeland seasons 1&2, with a Manchuria Candidate plot is another most excellent Showtime series. Dexter is included with Amazon Prime with for viewing too!

I agree. Loved the Wire and the Newsroom (and the West Wing). Just started the final season of Veep last night.

My wife is currently watching it, I haven't really had time lately, but the bits I saw passing through seemed ok.
