Marvel’s ‘Deadpool’ Gets His Own Flick; Acousticafe with Chet and Molly (Mon., 2/15/16)

1) Deadpool – I know you won’t believe this but there’s another spandex wearing character in the Marvel Universe who hasn’t been given his own franchise. You’d think, by now, they’d’ve run out … but no, here comes Deadpool. Actually he showed up played by Ryan Reynolds in X-Men Origins: Wolverine but apparently they pulled a few punches with the characters. Reynolds returns in a version the creators swear will be more true to the way he’s presented in the comic books. When he was first introduced in 1991 he was a super villain, but he’s since morphed into a mentally unstable anti-hero mercenary with a black, profane sense of humor who, by the way, is also “omnisexual.” Let’s see how much of that gets into this movie which also stars, inexplicably, Leslie Uggams. Check Fandango for screens and times. (TH)

2) Check out new and established talent at one of the city’s best open stage nights, Club Cafe’s AcoustiCafe. The host of tonight’s supportive and friendly event is Chet and Molly. No cover. 7 p.m. 56 – 58 S. 12th St., South Side.

3) It’s Global Mondays at Cappy’s Cafe in Shadyside with imported bottled beers for only $3. While there, team up an import with a bowl of their scrumptious chili. 5431 Walnut St.
