Yeah...There's a thread about it in this very section started by some idiot.

I was about to drop £160 on two omnibuses of Deadpool so this seems a good way of getting some books on the character.
I've subscribed (but only because Dredd has finished and the Complete Doctor Who should be done by Feb) So I figure I've got at least 18 books to see if I like it or not plus I get the free gifts.
Funnily enough the only Deadpool I've really read before is Deadpool Kills The Marvel Universe which is half of issue 1.
At least it's only £1.99.
I could see me dropping this 10-15 books in unless I'm really digging it.

Another partworks...
Dang!

The Meg.

Enjoyable shite.

That it was...Eventually. The first 40 minutes or so is painfully slow, the acting is poor, Jason Statham's accent is weird and the script is pretty awful.

But my, those shark set pieces, of which there are about four of them, are just a joy to behold.

A B movie in all regards (not to mention being a practical remake of Deep Blue Sea) and if viewed as such there is fun to be had.

Just don't expect too much.

My Judge Death figurine has just arrived.

And very nice it is too 

[Ant-Man and the Wasp]

Ant-Man and the Wasp

As you would expect. Darn good fun and funny with it.

2 after credits 'bits'. Both worth catching.

I enjoyed this as did my Wife and my 14 year old Son.

Was a pleasant afternoon out in the lovely air conditioned cinema

Would like to see what the reaction is to Meltdown Man - I'm guessing many here will be reading it for the first time?

I loved it when it originally came out in the Prog.

But, alas, I was a lot younger.

Looking forward to re-reading it. The first time in quite a while.

Books arrived yesterday but no figurine.
And no figurine today either as postie has just been and gone

That's what he said.

I see where people are coming from though: The stories are clever certainly but they never tackle any big themes or make you think after the event

Which is pretty much what I want in my summer blockbuster fare.

"Get Out" and "Mother!" are two that spring to mind that did make me think and did tackle big issues and I loved them both.

Surely there is room for both types of movie and surely people can appreciate both types for what they bring to the table.

I can't say that any Star Wars or Star Trek film brings anything very deep to the table either but I'm not expecting them too.

Sometimes I just want a solid good time. And in my opinion IM:Fallout was just that.

Love the series, loved Fallout. I've always felt the problem with the last few Bond movies is that the MI movies are doing what the Bond movies should be and doing it much, much better for the most part.

Agree and I LOVE Bond.

Said to the missus as soon as we came out of the cinema that the next Bond has got to go some just to keep up.

Also agree that these are clever scripts from the IM team. Not your standard stuff. You actually have to pay attention to what's going on for a change.

Also; I go to the cinema, on average, 8 times a month and have done for the last 3 years. This was the first time I have been to a showing. at 1.50 pm on a Sunday afternoon no less, that was completely sold out and it was the cinema's largest screen.

This movie is going to get into profit in days I reckon.

Hmmm. I really enjoyed MI: Fallout, but I feel like I must have missed something, because I'm just not getting all these superlatives.

It's a fantastic action/thriller piece, but ultimately felt like disposable product to me. High-quality, certainly — I wouldn't discourage anyone from seeing it — but it doesn't have even an ounce of the heart or vision of, say, Fury Road.

Each to their own.
I liked Fury Road a lot. A hell of a lot.

But it's nowhere near imo.

But that's the point.

[Mission Impossible: Fallout]

Mission Impossible: Fallout

Incredible! Just...Wow! 147 minutes and it felt more like 30.

Super fast with some of the best stunts, chases, double, triple, quadruples crosses you will ever see.

A super smart, funny script with every actor at the top of the game and Cruise leading the way.

Just so much fun.

Easily the best film of the year and possibly the decade.

Love, love, loved it. Seeing it again tomorrow.

9.5/10 (there was one minor niggle that I thought of during the film that I have now forgotten such is the pace of the damn thing.) It literally leaves you breathless.

Mission Impossible: Fallout
More like...
Mission Impossible: Fucking fantastic go see it on an IMAX as soon as you can.

The missus and I are booked in for tomorrow.

Thanks Steve, that is interesting.

Well done again!
