The merc with a mouth might have to keep it PG.
On Monday Ryan Reynolds heard the news that Disney might be looking to buy up 21st Century Fox — which would give them dominion over the X-Men.
He had the most wonderful response.
If this is true, I wonder how the fudge it would affect Deadpool? https://t.co/66RNUDU80S

An Avengers, X-Men and Fantastic Four reunion is all we want from a Disney/Fox deal

Much ink will be spilled about the potential financial and cultural impact of Disney buying out 21st Century Fox – an impossibly complex proposal that’s reportedly still in whisper stages – but if you’re anything like us, your mind immediately went there.
Not to surging stock prices. Nor federal regulatory hurdles. Not even the inevitable implosion of Western popular culture into a black hole of corporate monolithism.
Nope, it went right here:

‘Thor: Ragnarok’ takes us to a weirder, goofier corner of the Marvel Universe
The posters and trailers for Thor: Ragnarok promised something different — a movie that’s a little more psychedelic than your typical Marvel film, a little more retro, while taking itself a lot less seriously. Ragnarok mostly delivers on that promise. The film, which officially opens tomorrow in the U.S., is directed by Taika Waititi, best known for the comedies What We Do In… Read More
Disney researchers are working on fireworks you can ‘feel’

If you’re visually impaired or blind, fireworks can feel a little exclusive to those with full sight.
“Feeling Fireworks” is a new project attempting to make fireworks more inclusive for people with low or limited vision, or who are blind — yep, they’re fireworks you can “feel.”
A new project by Disney Research and ETH Zurich’s Dorothea Reusser, Espen Knoop, Roland Siegwart and Paul Beardsley, it’s a large-scale tactile firework show in which water jets are directed onto a flexible screen.
Users put their hands up against the other side of the screen, a rear-mounted Kinect detects the user, and they will be able to feel “tactile fireworks that are directly analogous to physical fireworks happening in the sky.” Read more…
