My reread of some of my old fic continues, and this time I'm at Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place/Two Guys and a Girl and mentally reading all of Berg's dialogue with Deadpool's voice, which adds a new... something. Sure, same actor, but the voice isn't exactly the same and Berg might be Deadpool-ish but he's not at that level.

(It was fun when Ryan Reynolds finally got to do Deadpool for real, as opposed to the atrocity enacted on him in X-Men Origins: Wolverine where Wade's mouth was stitched shut for most of his screentime. I'd been telling people since the late 90s that I knew an actor who'd be a great Deadpool, just based off what he did as Berg and what he'd do in some of ABC's commercials for the show.

(Though there are many old fancasts I'll unfortunately never get, like Callum Keith Rennie as John Constantine. That could've been magic.)

I went into Manhattan very early Sunday to see if my stores did any Met Gala-related windows but, to my disappointment, none of them did. Though it probably doesn't help that this year's themes are vague. “The Garden of Time”? (Referencing a 1962 New Wave sci-fi short story of the same name by British author J.G. Ballard.) “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion”?

The celebrities at the gala usually have a hard time getting close to the theme, but maybe if it's vague it doesn't matter.

met gala, constantine, two guys and girl, new york city, x-men, fic
