Please, please, please celebrities: stop making us feel dumb for liking your work
Here’s a controversial opinion: Hey, celebrities, stop shit-talking your own work.
It’s a thought that’s occurred to me twice in the past week, both times in relation to a superhero movie. I noted, for example, that Ryan Reynolds added a special easter egg to the latest Deadpool and Wolverine promo; a QR code hidden between Wolverine’s legs at the 3-second mark of this video leads to an unlisted video of Ryan Reynolds providing a tongue-in-cheek warning about the movie itself.
“We’re very excited to be joining you July 26. Many of you are very excited, but we should set the table correctly: this film is as paper thin as a sequel to Battlefield Earth,” Reynolds deadpans in the video, titled ‘Disclaimers.’ “We’re mostly going to beat each other senseless, make enemies with Disney, tell a few dick jokes, make a few jokes at my expense, make a lot of jokes at Hugh’s expense, and completely sidestep Marvel’s mandated after-credits sequence, which if you haven’t figured it out yet, is always just a commercial for another movie which will invariably end with a commercial for another movie. So sit back, relax, let us lower your IQ and raise your heart rate while we travel to a vapiddreamland, a place where grown men and grown women walk around in tights, and act like it’s not a giant cultural cry for help. This is cinema.”
