Deadpool’s Shocking $135m Opening Is The Biggest Ever For An R-Rated Film. Wow, that's kinda crazy huh? Word around the internet is that Deadpool is actually a pretty good movie and there are already people clamoring for more rated R superhero movies. Here's what I'm clamoring for: More movies made by creative people that really care about the movie they're making. Deadpool took almost 11 years to make, it was a labor of love with a tiny budget. It was the kind of movie that the studio barely cared about but the film makers fought extremely hard over. I feel like those are the kinds of movies people are looking for. You know... good movies. It doesn't matter if they're rated R or not.
A Producer Is Tweeting Descriptions of Women from Movie Scripts and It's Hilariously Awful. Speaking of movies and how awful Hollywood can be...
Star Wars R2D2 Computer Case mod. This case mod is really cool. I wish I had the time or talent to do something like this. Maybe when my kids are a bit older and actually need a computer of their own. Yikes, that's a scary thought. How did I get so old?
Through the Ars lens: Looking at Justice Scalia’s opinions, dissents. Wow, the reaction to Antonin Scalia dying this weekend was super weird. To say he is not well liked in a lot of circles is probably a huge understatement. Some people I know/follow we're downright giddy on social media.
I don't follow the supreme court that much but I knew he was a conservative judge with a rather surly reputation. A couple of the Sunday morning news shows aired interviews with him and I found him to be really interesting. I don't agree with most of his politics, probably at all, but at the very least I understood his viewpoint and opinion. He was so consistent with his reading of the constitution that on occasion he would find himself on the "liberal" side of the argument, something Ars points out here nicely.
On a side note do you know the last amendment to the constitution was passed in 1992? It had to do with congresses salaries. I'll let you make of that what you will..
Wyclef Jean just had the worst Reddit AMA ever. Here's the deal, don't do a Reddit AMA (ask me anything) unless you really are prepared for people to ask you about like the worst thing you've ever done. If you're cool with that, then please go right ahead. However, if the worst thing you've ever done is stolen millions of dollars from a Haitian charity maybe you should just skip it.
