For a third week in a row, the rated R comic book movie DEADPOOL held on to the #1 spot.This has the movie studios scrambling. They seemed to think that comics were for kids and therefore needed to be rated PG or PG-13. However, despite cult followings for other R rated comic movies like BLADE, THE CROW, WATCHMEN, and DREDD, it took DEADPOOL to wake up everyone up. They already announced that there will be a rated R version of Batman vs Superman for Blu-Ray and DVD, and WOLVERINE 3 will be rated R. Some characters are either too brutal or too sexy to confine in a PG zone.

Rock out with your APART out!
The Cure - Apart
he waits for her to understand
but she won't understand at all
she waits all night for him to call
but he won't call anymore
he waits to hear her say
forgive
but she just drops her pearl-black eyes
and prays to hear him say
i love you
but he tells no more lies
he waits for her to sympathize
but she won't sympathize at all
she waits all night to feel his kiss
but always wakes alone
he waits to hear her say
forget
but she just hangs her head in pain
and prays to hear him say
no more
i'll never leave again
how did we get this far apart?
we used to be so close together
how did we get this far apart?
i thought this love would last forever
he waits for her to understand
but she won't understand at all
she waits all night for him to call
but we won't call
he waits to hear her say
forgive
but she just drops her pearl-black eyes
and prays to hear him say
i love you
but he tells no more lies
how did we get this far apart?
we used to be so close together
how did we get this far apart?
i thought this love would last forever
