READ: The Deadpool movie script gets a B:

The screenplay to the upcoming Deadpool movie leaked online yesterday, and we had a chance to read it. Good news: It’s very close to the original comic book in tone and content. Bad news: it wouldn’t make a great movie.

READ: Geocities To Be Made Available As a 900GB Torrent:

“Felt a shortage of the blink tag in your life lately? Well, have no fear. One year after Geocities was shut down in a cost-cutting move by Yahoo, a group self-styled as ‘The Archive Team’ have announced they will be releasing a ~900GB torrent file archive. It doesn’t have every single site, but they believe they got most of it. The team believes that it’s important to not just delete our digital culture, and as crazy as Geocities may have been, it was an important cultural milestone in the history of showing that anyone could create content online.”

READ: Holy Shit:
O’Donnell is an idiot of the first order and I’d fear for the good of any country that elected such a person but on this, I have to agree. Too. Fucking. Far.

Variety announced that Fox has selected Zombieland writers Reese and Wernick to bring Ryan Reynolds‘ Deadpool film to life.

While there’s “no timetable” set the trade speculates that if the script is done by the summer, Reynolds will already be in superhero shape from filming Green Lantern and has a window of opportunity, so what’s to stop a quick turnover? Well besides piling two Ryan Reynolds comic book movie releases on top of each other that is.

The writers stated that they wanted to stay true to the mythology of Deadpool, and if their previous Zombieland work is any indication of their wit, then they are a perfect fit for the fourth-wall-breaking, Bea Arthur-loving character.
