    $1.35 billion

    The amount T-Mobile is spending in a cash and stock deal to buy Mint Mobile from Ryan Reynolds and his backers. The actor, who used his celebrity and wit to build the low-cost competitor in a crowded wireless business, would stay on in a creative capacity and continue to appear in Mint Mobile’s ads, T-Mobile said.

    I wonder how quickly their prices will skyrocket and match those of T-mobile.

    Then Ryan can create another new low cost cell phone competitor company with the very money he just got from T-mo.

    Also let me add, anyone else completely sick of Ryan Reynolds schtick? Like the dudes been playing the same character in every movie since Van Wilder, is it somehow not tiresome to anyone else?

    I like him, but I get what you're getting at. It's like Michael Cera or that other guy who looks like Michael Cera but played Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg).

    Same shtick, different movie.

    That's hilarious. I turned on Zombieland the other day for the first time and was convinced Eisenberg was Cera.

    Not at all, that dude cracks me up. There is SO much more out there to hate than Ryan Reynolds.

    I didn’t say I hate him, I said he’s tiresome. It reminds me of Jim Carey, he was funny in like 1993, but it became tiresome over time as his schtick wore off. Same thing has happened to me with Ryan Reynolds, his schtick got old to me ages ago and I just find it tiresome at this point.

    He’s no longer funny or endearing when I know exactly what is going to happen, or what he is going to say before he says it, because it’s so predictable and played out.

    Samberg was just his generations Jimmy Fallon, which was his generations Adam Sandler.

    The second half of this post sounds like you’re describing 80% of this forum.

    I resemble that remark FAMS. I am sure that applies to me too.
