    Okay, everyone post the streams you're using here, whether it's ustreams or justintv or whatever. All questions and comments about streams should go in here too, since there's inevitable a lot of stream chatter and it really shouldn't be cluttering up the main show thread. Plus, who really wants to search through all 29379 pages of the Mania topic just to find the one link to a stream that works? Keep it all in here.

    Deadpool (I forget his real name) was a member of a special all-mutants combat team that Stryker put together, which also included Wolverine, Sabertooth, and a few others. He wasn't exactly Deadpool then either, just a soldier who used a ninja sword and talked a lot of shit.

     

    Much later on in the movie, we find out that Stryker has been basically running a Mamet con on Wolverine and all the other mutants. He takes their DNA samples, and uses that to "pool" all their powers into one super-mutant. This is "Deadpool", aka Weapon XI. He can teleport, shoot Cyclops eye lasers, and has extendable metal blades (not exactly like Wolverine's, more like Baraka from Mortal Kombat 2). And oh yeah, his mouth is melted shut and he's not wearing any kind of super costume. Wolverine quickly kicks his ass and cuts his head off. So, yeah, Deadpool.

    I've seen it. It's not very good.

     

    The biggest problem is Deadpool. Or, at least, this

    thing that they decided to give the name Deadpool to. Remember how bad they fucked up Bane in Batman and Robin? Or how about Galactus in Fantastic Four 2? This is WORSE. Not even kidding, just a horrible mutilation of the character which shows nothing but contempt for the fanbase. Other fans might be pissed at how at the beginning it flirts with the backstory of the Origins comic book, but then blows it off and makes up a whole new story from there.

     

    Even aside from that, it's simply not a good film. It seems like half of it is just Wolverine sitting around and moping about how bad his life sucks. It opens up gaping plot holes in the franchise. Such as, "if Sabertooth is Wolverine's brother and they spent over a century side by side, why the fuck didn't he recognize Wolverine when they met again in the first X-Men movie?" Not to mention wondering how 'Tooth went from being a fairly ordinary-looking guy to being gargantuan Tyler Mane as well. William Stryker is also one of the main villains here, played by a different guy, and interpreted like he is a different guy from the one we saw in X-Men 2. (So, how did he wiggle out of those murder charges, and also still remain in the military after his disasterous fuckup here?)

     

    Some of the action scenes are decent, in a PG-13 sort of way. And I gotta admit that Liev Schrieber is surprisingly good as Sabertooth. He looks like a reject from Underworld in his stupid trenchcoat, but he plays the part well. And the few times they let Hugh Jackman do some comedy scenes (the one in the bathroom especially), it's worth a laugh. But too much of the movie is Wolverine sitting somewhere dark, drinking heavily, with an "oh god my life sucks look on his face. And that hideous abomination they claim to be Deadpool is the final nail in the coffin.

    In terms of just one cut (that is, non-deathmatch stuff), the Mass Transit incident is the worst I've ever seen. But I guess it shouldn't count, since it was a shoot. New Jack intentionally sliced that kid open across his entire forehead right down to the bone.

     

    Another famous one was

    . (Sorry for the shitty video quality, that seems to be the only copy Youtube has.) This was from Jim Cornette's old promotion Smokey Mountain Wrestling, where the very young team of Chris Jericho and Lance Storm were called the Thrillseekers. Early in the day before the match, Jericho was trying to practice a shooting star press and broke his arm pretty badly. The show that night was Smokey Mountain's equivalent to Wrestlemania, so they literally snuck Jericho out of the hospital to go work the match. He was pumped full of various drugs while at the hospital, so when he cut himself here his blood spewed everywhere as a result.

    TOO SOON. I mean, dude, nobody likes a good laugh more than I do... except for Brutesquad Brody, and Leena, all the Boardum regulars and most of the Maff Clique... okay, most people like a good laugh more than I do. But some jokes just cross the line, maaaaan.

    Erm, I also write for the SWF, Jingy. Had I known you were eyeing us, I'd have made a plea of my own but you covered oh so nicely.

     

    But I do wholeheartedly encourage my fellow artisans of the keyboard to join up.

    Oh. Erm. Right. Well, pick out another one anyway.

    Hi there, SWFers. Nice place you got here. Anyway, some of you may have noticed that this board has gone from having 12943e28362 moderators to now just having negative two and a half. Yeah, some shit went down.

     

    ANYWAY: we need new mods. Specifically, we kinda think that one of the new ones should come from this sub-community. For one thing, your folder mods here all have experience and know how to work a lot of the board software. For another, in these chaotic times I'm sure it couldn't hurt for you guys to have an inside man in the staff folder, on the off chance that someone in power eventually goes "why do we have these stupid e-feds? get rid o' that shit". I've been informed that, unlike the foresighted OAOAST, you guys have not backed up your archives, so I thought it might provide some peace of mind to have one of your hometown boys in charge.

     

    I'll let you guys decide whichever one of you will be called up from developmental. Remember that a TSM Mod needs to be sharp of intellect, humane of spirit, and possessing a truly gargantuan penis size tolerance for whining from ungrateful posters. So yeah, get to it.

    All of the above. Plus a dig at how television networks tend to abruptly cancel old shows just to bring in basically identical new ones. And some snark about how some guys just can't handle non-sexy stuff involving female anatomy. Matt and Trey have gotten damned good at mixing half a dozen subtexts at once.
