I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

      I could get on board with this. Both were amazing at their best and pretty mediocre at their worst. I’d love to see what Carpenter could have done with some bigger budgets. Although maybe the results wouldn’t have been as good. He seems like the sort of director where necessity breeds invention.

        Yeah exactly, it seems like a such a shame that The Thing (1982) didn’t find its audience until years later. Because I feel like that’s as close as we got to seeing a John Carpenter film with a big budget and it was great.
