What's with the dick jokes on movie posters this month? Maybe it's a 2016 thing.

But never, NEVER fail to connect it to an automatic weapon!
Something about the DEADPOOL marketing (and I assume the film since it's so prevalent) is just making me wince. It's so desperate to be edgy and cool with the sex and masturbation jokes and the crude language and Ryan Reynold's "don't make it green! or animated!" line in the trailer which is so obvious in its self-awareness. It looks like such an internet age superhero movie. Reynolds, of course, suffering no real career problem despite multiple major flops in a row - he just gets to pick up where he left off while making OUTRAGEOUS (read: desperate for attention) gags.
Promises, promises.
I agree movies are rapidly turning into bad television. Jennifer Lawrence is the Trump of her time with talk of barfing and picking on Lindsay Lohan (who previously called Lawrence a hooker). Take me away, well done, long form cinema with smart actors.
I am getting tired of Jennifer Lawrence already!
I'm totally into dicks so YES
Gag reflex kicking in.
Meh, I love a good dick joke.
