Ryan Reynolds, noted good guy and craft gin enthusiast, celebrated Deadpool‘s fifth anniversary with another touching story that highlights his special relationship with fans. He shared some lost correspondence with a big fan of the Merc with a Mouth, including Reynolds’ reply that never got mailed. Probably because neither is real. But one thing that’s definitely true is that this whole “exchange” is really funny.
The former Green Lantern star took to Twitter to celebrate five years of donning Deadpool‘s red mask by posting a letter he received from a “fan” named “Hunter” (which we first heard about at THR) back in 2016. In his letter, a highly complimentary Hunter, who sounds like a five-year-old in one sentence and a PR veteran in the next, talks about his love of Deadpool. He also praises the film’s producers who “didn’t tone down” the film’s R-rating. The whole “English class assignment” might almost be believable if not for young Hunter signing off with a hope to get a beer with Reynolds some day.
Five years later, I’m still in awe of Deadpool fans. Hunter wrote me this letter after #Deadpool came out and somehow my response never got mailed. Holds up. Mostly. pic.twitter.com/xYh1XChIb3

There’s no question the actor’s “lost” response is a clever work of fiction. It’s full of wildly inaccurate predictions and comments that are obviously hilarious in 2021. That includes laughing at the thought of Disney and the MCU producing a Deadpool movie. (Which is going to happen.) Reynolds’ commitment to acting and acting alone, without any distractions from something like a small business. (Of which he now has many.) His wife Blake Lively giving birth to their second and “final” child. (They now have three kids.) And that we would get a new Deadpool sequel every two years “like clockwork.” (That clock is broken.)
That’s not all he’s wrong about. He also mentions his enthusiasm for famous failures like the Fyre Festival and the “Thanos” [sic] blood company. Reynolds also comments on Tom Brady’s guaranteed lifetime tenure with the Patriots, as well as his own love affair with beer and beer only. All before signing off that in 2020 there will be nothing better than “handshakes and hugs.”

For someone to be that wrong about literally everything they’d have to see the future. So clearly this letter was fake. Either that or Ryan Reynolds’ actually did get Cable’s Temporal Dial to work. If he did, forget about going back and sending this letter in 2016. Can he please go back and warn everyone about 2020 instead?

Let's start 2021 with a terse and "to the point" start, people! Welcome to the first Afronerd Radio broadcast of 2021 streaming under the guise of the infamous Grindhouse brand this Sunday at 6pm eastern. The topics for the brand new year are as follows: regrettably the world experienced yet another untimely death with the passing of iconic underground rap artist and graphic novel enthusiast, Daniel Dumile aka MF Doom;

You could say chocolates have become the food most associated with Valentine’s Day and all its commercialization. And you wouldn’t be wrong. But what sustenance someone craves or finds romantic on the holiday is absolutely subjective. A&W Restaurants is betting that at least a few people are all about chicken tenders. They’ve announced a sweepstakes pushing forth their savory chicken tenders for a little tender loving, which we learned about from Design Taxi.
A&W Restaurants
The giveaway offers some rather unique prizes: a body pillow replicating A&W’s Hand-Breaded Chicken Tenders and tins of Tender Lovin’ Lip Balm. Yes, chicken tender lip balm. To achieve the exact flavor, A&W used some of their fryer oil in the batch. That’s weird, yes, but also probably moisturizing and quite delicious. No one tell A&W, but I’d totally purchase a tin of chicken tender lip balm. It seems like the kind of thing Rocket Fizz would stock near check-out for impulse buyers, and I’d fall for it.
I like chicken tenders, soft lips, and flavored lip balms. What’s not to love? I’m not going to abandon my vanilla or cherry lip balm for meat-flavored options anytime soon. But I’m just saying I’m not opposed to the concept. Especially if they packaged chicken tender lip balm with some BBQ flavored lip gloss.
A&W Restaurants
I don’t mean to overlook the chicken tender body pillow. It’s made for cuddling with on the couch while you eat chicken tenders. And I’m sure you could find a way to make it smell like the tenders too.
Anyway. You have until Wednesday, February 17, to enter the sweepstakes. Just visit A&W Restaurant’s website. If you win, please promise to share some chicken tender lip balm with us?
