Things We Saw Today: Honest Trailers Has a Hard Time Making Fun of Logan

Here, Honest Trailers picks a good one for their 200th installment of their long-running series: Logan. The thing is, though, that the movie’s so darn good that they have a hard time picking at it, so they call in some heavy-gun backup: Deadpool (actually Ryan Reynolds, who also has a hard time picking at it). Come for the big movie stars, stay for the incredible credits. Congratulations on 200 videos, Honest Trailers!

• Pajiba’s roundup of the latest YA novels to score movie deals gives us a bit of hope for the future of movies.
• Rumors are flying again that a Spaceballs sequel is in the works. What’s more: Mel Brooks is apparently in talks to direct! (via Paste)

Laughing Squid spotted a nice video of Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address as delivered by 92 different movies and TV shows. Uh… huh. How poignant.

• Speaking of, here’s a transcript of New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu’s speech, delivered just hours before the last remaining Confederate (white supremacist) monument was taken down. (via Pulse Gulf Coast)
• Sir Roger Moore passed away this morning after a battle with cancer. He was 89. (via Vulture)
