And it might fall under parody, which is basically un-sue-able to my knowledge.

Fox owns Fantastic Four. Not Sony. Spiderman is the only character that Marvel has some control over again that was with another studio.
Deadpool was good. Fun. And funny as hell.

Is there somewhere where I can see the timelines for how all these movies and TV shows interact? Since they're all Marvel, they all tie in together somehow, right? I never really read any of the comics and only have seen less than a handful of the movies.
Also, for those who have seen Deadpool and/or read the comics: why is the character Boothe not Luke Cage from Jessica Jones?

I don't even remember Boothe from the movie, but they probably don't have the rights to using Cage.

Marvel Movies and Marvel TV tie in together. Deadpool ties in I suppose with Fox and X-Men but nothing else.

I hope it was the Bogart/Hepburn Sabrina.

The guy knocked out in the bar fight.
Ah! Wait, the X-Men and Avengers were two separate universes? But... that doesn't explain the winks and heavy nods in Deadpool to the Avengers universe (ie:
SHIELD Helicarrier they fight on in the end or Hydra Bob as one of the hench men.

http://marvel.com/movies/all - The ones considered part of the same timeline and connected in overall story are grouped together. The TV shows are on a separate page.
http://www.cnet.com/how-to/marvel-cinematic-universe-timeline-avengers/ - This lists some other details or suggestions about how shows like Netflix's series fit into things.

Yeah, part of Deadpool's character is his wink wink nudge nudge fourth wall breaking.

Re: Movie Thread: Grab Some Popcorn, Enjoy The Show
The location of the finale is part of Deadpool pushing the boundaries of the movie studio contract. They wanted something that looked as much like what Marvel Studios has in their movies, but without it being directly tied. As for the character, they kept him vague for the same reason - he's just a guy with a common name that he knew from his military days.

Bingo. Plus if at some other date (wont happen in this decade) they do crossover they have this to go back to. Otherwise it is just fun talking points for fans.

Dope:
A complete geek who's obsessed with 90s hip-hop culture, and lives in a shady LA neighborhood gets mixed up in the drug game by accident.
Kind of a coming of age drama, with a lot of comedy in it. I thought it was really well done, and did a good balancing act between serious and funny. Well worth a watch.

Re: Movie Thread: Grab Some Popcorn, Enjoy The Show
Criterion Collection watched this past week:
I Am Curious—Yellow, Vilgot Sjöman (1967)
I Am Curious—Blue, Vilgot Sjöman (1968)
Sjöman’s look at 1960s Sweden mostly through the story and eyes of Lena, a strong-willed, adventurous, young woman. Both movies are of the same shoot, but due to the extensive filming, they simply vary in subject matter: sex, crime and punishment, politics, class, work, etc. Initially banned in the United States and other places in the world.
Kinosh i ta and World War II, Eclipse Series 41 (2014)
- Port of Flowers, Keisuke Kinosh i ta (1943)
- The Living Magoroku, Keisuke Kinosh i ta (1943)
- Jubilation Street, Keisuke Kinosh i ta (1944)
- Army, Keisuke Kinosh i ta (1944)
- Morning for the Osone Family, Keisuke Kinosh i ta (1946)
I’m currently reading a history on post-WWII Japan, Embracing Defeat: Japan in the Wake of World War II by John W. Dower, so these movies were good to watch in order to give context during the war as well as after. Kino****a was a pacifist and a humanist, so even his wartime films have a very good universal tone to them, showing the Japanese people in their daily lives much as you would any other place in the world, but mixed with the war mind-set of the militarists and ultranationalists.
2 or 3 Things I Know About Her, Jean-Luc Godard (1967)
Godard is an interesting filmmaker, but difficult for me to understand. So, I’m glad that Criterion offers a visual essay in the supplements as a concordance to the film. *
The Two Of Us or Le vieil homme et l’enfant, Claude Berri (1967)
Very good story of a young Jewish boy sent by his parents to the French countryside during WWII to live with an older Catholic couple who are unaware of his being Jewish. The old man, played by the remarkable Michel Simon, is a bigot and anti-Semite, but a good soul. The boy becomes enamored with him and they share many delightful moments together despite their unknown differences. Based on Berri’s life experience during the occupation. Wonderful film!
Weekend, Jean-Luc Godard (1967)
* See above. This film does have some remarkable scenes in a sort of modern apocalyptic tale. I particularly like the drum solo with song; “Greetings, ancient ocean! Ocean, often I have asked myself which is the easier to divine: the depth of the ocean or the depth of the human heart….” From a poem by Isidore-Lucien Ducasse, which became a “keystone” for the surrealists according to the Criterion supplement.

The Lost Honour of Christopher Jefferies
Apparently is was actually a mini-series, not a movie; Netflix sometimes fails to make this distinction. To be fair, IMDB said it was 2 episodes, and the whole thing is only about 2 hours long....
Anyway, about a very odd former schoolteacher who is falsely accused of murder. I'll be frank: you need a lot of patience with this one. Very, very dry, slow, methodical (not meticulous; you'll understand this comment if/when you watch this), etc. It was ok as a viewing option, but probably wouldn't go out of my way to see it.

The Interview: It's the James Franco/Seth Rogan movie where they're sent to assassinate Kim Jong Un. If you liked their previous buddy comedy movies, you'll like this one. It's not great, but it's not horrible. I laughed quite a bit because I'm childish like that.
