Day 4 of Year 7- Deadpool!
Day 4 of Year 7- Deadpool!

The Disabled Guy went with me to see "Deadpool" today! Why is that a big deal? He hasn't been to the movies with me since 1999 when I forced him to take me to see "Mystery, Alaska" on my birthday that year. He prefers watching movies at home so he can back them up or ask me questions or whatever. Shortly after he had the stroke in 1995, I took him and our three kids to a theater to see "The Lion King". While we were driving to the theater, he became agitated and combative. Once there, he refused to get out of our van (we had a full-size conversion van back then). I couldn't leave him alone in the van because he would have either taken it and left us there (and he wasn't allowed to drive back then), or, if I'd taken the keys, he would have gotten out and tried to walk home (which was around 15 miles away). So, I disappointed the kids and we went home. We left him at home the next day and I took them to see the movie. There's no real reason he doesn't like going to the theater- I mean, he's not agoraphobic or anything. He is, however, extremely stubborn and when he gets into a stubborn mood, there's no changing it. (I pick my battles).

But, with all the hype around "Deadpool" and our mutual Ryan Reynolds love, I asked him last week if he'd go with me to the theater. I told him we could go during the week, during a daytime showing, to cut down on crowds. Our son had the day off work, so he came along too (he saw it last weekend). And he said he would! Of course, once a day, I reminded him that we were going on Wednesday, the 2:50 PM showing, and that he could drive (he likes driving his truck).

It was a fantastic movie and we both enjoyed it. We've been fans of Reynolds since before "Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place", so we were very familiar with his hilarity and dramatic acting ability. If you're a Ryan Reynolds fan, go see "Deadpool".

I took this photo after the movie. The sun was setting, so we were being somewhat blinded. But, hey, I got him to go out to the theater with me!
