I am not sure who Morena is to be honest. I didn't know they were friends either

Morena Baccarin played the alien leader Anna in V. If anyone benefitted from being on this show, it's her. Her career has really reached another level since V was cancelled.

I wil have to look her up

I am so bad with names and celebrity stuff.

ETA: I looked her up and checked out the shows she's been in. I haven't watched any of her shows so that's why I don't really know who she is

Speaking of Morena, I keep thinking that I should check out Gotham, but the mixed opinions about it have been holding me back. (along with the lack of time, err)

***One Thing Remains*** · 05-01-2016, 08:04 PM

I have never checked out Gotham because I am not really into Batman. I don't know why but DC comic book characters just don't appeal to me. I am a Marvel girl

I enjoy both equally, but I think there's no question that Marvel's live-action adaptions are vastly superior to DC's. Like, I really wanted to watch Batman vs. Superman, but I was so put off by the trailers and casting choices that I couldn't be bothered in the end.

Speaking of Marvel, Deadpool is officially the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time:

‘Deadpool’ Overtakes ‘Matrix Reloaded’ as Highest-Grossing R-Rated Movie

Neo is no match for the “Merc With a Mouth.”

“Deadpool” has supplanted “The Matrix Reloaded” to become the highest-grossing R-rated film in history with more than $745 million globally. The “Matrix” sequel racked up its $742.1 million worldwide when it hit theaters in 2003.

Domestically, “Deadpool” is poised to overtake “American Sniper’s” $350.1 million stateside gross to become the second-biggest R-rated movie. “Deadpool” has earned $349.4 million in North America, but may not be able to catch up to “Passion of the Christ’s” $370.8 million to become the highest-grossing R-rated film on a domestic basis.

It’s a big win for Fox, the studio behind the raunchy action pic. Most studios shy away from greenlighting R-rated comic book films because they worry that teenagers won’t be able to buy tickets. With its liberal use of four-letter words and extreme violence, “Deadpo0l” is certainly not for the squeamish or prudish. Fox tried to limit its risk by keeping the budget to a comparatively modest $58 million, which makes the film a very profitable production for the studio.

The film also rejuvenated Ryan Reynolds’ career. His star was at a low ebb following box office disappointments such as “R.I.P.D.” and “Green Lantern,” but “Deadpool,” which highlights his comedic chops, has restored the luster. Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, who wrote the first film, are reportedly busy crafting a sequel.

From what I've heard, the studio has already confirmed a Deadpool sequel, but no word yet whether Morena will be in it as well. Hopefully, she will be.

that's great that they will be making a second one

Morena is nominated for a Teen Choice Award this year:
