While (technically) Deadpool 2 is only coming out on Thursday here, but if you want to get in on it early, sneak previews started yesterday. The marketing for this movie, especially here, is nuts. Got a pair of tickets to the preview screening last night and most of the lobby space was for people redeeming their preview screening tickets from various media outlets. There were so many counters for this movie that I lost track. There was also a counter in the lobby giving away Monster Energy drinks (full-sized cans) that you can redeem by just showing them your movie ticket. Got one but didn't think was a good idea to drink it after 8 p.m.
The auntie behind me didn't exactly fit the target audience for this movie, so I don't know how she'll take to it. Or maybe she also likes watching this kind of movie, who am I to say otherwise...?

Again, don't bring the kids. Leave them with a babysitter.
- This movie is directed by one of the John Wick directors, so expect plenty of nicely choreographed hand-to-hand combat, action scenes and stomach churning gore.
- I don't know how they got Celine Dion to record a new song for this movie; either she's got a wicked sense of humour the rest of us don't know about or her kids put her up to it.
- The use of Brolin's stepmother's movie clip was hilarious.
- I can see why Brolin enjoyed being Thanos more than he did Cable - the workout to get into that shape must be brutal at his age.
- I laughed my head off at the X-Force and the recruitment stage... and when a random person joined. There's also Brad Pitt in this movie... for about two seconds. Also the way everyone else in X-Force died was also stupid hilarious and reference-heavy, especially the way Bill Skarsgard (who kinda looks like Steve Buscemi) ended up in the wood chipper.
- Stay for the mid credit scenes. Also, there's no post credit stingers that I know of.
