Really fancy a cool GoTG tee to wear when I go see it, but doubt any of the shirt sites would send it in time because they're american.

 

[Quick]

Keeping things fancy. I don't expect the RT and Metacritic ratings to stick permanently, so I'll do a few more updates as more reviews come in and the ratings begin to stabilize.

Grabbed your post from the Spoiler Thread.

Maybe I should've asked you first before putting it on. My mistake if you don't want that up there.

No, it's fine. I thought it was funny seeing it next to VARIETY.

Haha.

I'm adding some GAF quotes in there with the professional reviews just to keep it interesting.

This is probably my favourite OT ever, even just because of the hard work and love put into it by Neoxon & Quick.

Added the review stuff to the OP for the time being.

Awww, thanks. We did work hard on the thread, & we still are.

First time I've booked tickets online, do I just go to one of them machines and enter details to receive tickets?

At least for me in the past all I've needed to do was swipe my credit card and it brought up the deets and gave me my tickets

 

[enzo_gt]

I dunno about that. I remember TDK trailer in front of I am legend which got everybody in the theater legit shook

I believe you. Never saw the trailer in theatres myself.

I ordered that 3 moon rocket shirt from welovefine.com on the 9th and it still hasn't shipped I doubt it will get here in a week.

It seems like most of GAF wants or expects every Marvel movie to flop and they're wrong every single time lol.

 

[Mengy]

Okay, a friend of mine saw this tonight at a sneak preview. I didn't see it sadly, but holy shit he couldn't stop gushing about it. He actually thinks it's Marvel's best movie yet. And he's liked all of the other Marvel films but been a tad critical about a few of them, but he is giddy with glee after having seen GotG. He described it as a cross between the best Star Wars film and Firefly.

He said he enjoyed it even better than CA:TWS.



I mean, I'm expecting a great movie, but .

I fucking LOVED The Winter Soldier....



I'm gonna have to ignore him until next Friday now...

You the best Neoxon. This may be one of the most dedicated and most updated OPs on Off Topic.

I treasure you.

All I'm saying is avengers 2 will totally flop. I think people are tired of Joss Whedon.

Spoiler

kidding. I love you Whedon. Get Angel or Spike to be cameos in Avengers 2 though.

There are GAFers who actually WANT this to flop? I can understand them expecting it to flop (even though they are wrong), but actually wanting it to flop seems like a waste of emotional energy.

 

[enzo_gt]

I'm not ready to call it a hit yet, isn't this around the time we get projections about how well it's charting and stuff?

I expect there to be a similar crow eating once GOTG does well.

It's tracking for $60 mil or more.

Cap 1 = Tessearct = Space?
The Avengers = Loki's Staff = Mind?
Thor 2 = The Aether = Reality?
GotG = The Purple Orb = Power

and if The Purple Orb is power, then they really got the colors all mixed up in the MCU
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinity_Gems

I'm pretty sure this is it. We know the orb is power and the tesseract is space. Mind makes the most sense for a mind-control weapon, and the aether was going to be used to plunge all of reality into darkness. It was super, super powerful. It has to be reality.

According to people who've seen GOTG, it dispels the notion that the staff is an infinity gem.

So we still only know of 3 so far - Tesseract, Aether, and Orb

Ahh, well. That's interesting. I wonder when mind will show up? Probably AoU, I bet it's what Hydra uses to control Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch.

It's kinda like the people who keep on buying lottery tickets because eventually they've got to win, right?

I think this applies to any adaptation ever of anything.

They still have plenty of movies til Avengers 3 to fit in the last three infinity gems.

There will be plenty of crow but not on that scale. That thread is GAF legend and forever inscribed into the archives.


If only BvS was out next year, only that could top it.

That will never be topped. Shit look at Solo's post.

There is already a thread for this. And TDKR will crush Avengers. Domestically, worldwide and in quality.






Joss Whedon sucks.

I've never seen so much wrong in one post.

Given that Ant-Man is supposed to be about a heist to save the planet, I would assume an Infinity Stone is likely the target of said heist. Although, that would place two Infinity Stones on Earth which I thought the galactic movers and shakers were trying to avoid.

All of my theaters still don't have times yet. What is going on.

I'm almost certain we will see a stone in the Dr. Strange movie.

UK release is one day before the US and I think that's the case with a few countries in Europe.

Earth doesn't have any right now. Unless you mean the Tessaract, it could be that they thought the Earth was a good hiding place due to it's lack of advancement compared with the rest of the galaxy.

I'm in the same boat. I've yet to find a good one of the team or of star-lord's mask. Ill keep looking around and post anything that catches my eye.

I've always wondered.

Can you just ask for theaters for like posters they're done using? For free? I mean, they're just going to throw them out anyway right?

My local non-imax theater gives away the posters but the employees get first picks and usually take all of the good ones anyways.

It's been a lame summer, it's going to be 'hit'. I'll judge it more on the legs it has. I think this will be the kind of movie that keeps picking people up.

After the GOTG preview my theater had transformers IMAX posters and were just giving then out to whoever wanted one.

You can ask but it varies. Usually employees will get all the good stuff which is fine, since they're getting shit pay as it is.

Still can't buy tickets at my theater but for some reason TMNT tickets are available on the 30th? I don't get it ....
