Who knocked up Zoe Saldana?

Her husband, with twins.

Went and bought tickets for me and the family for Thurs night. I think the last time I went a few days early to buy tickets for a movie was for one of the Lord of the Rings movies. At least these tickets have assigned seating so I don't need to wait in line on opening night.

So excited for this movie!

Got 4 tickets for 7:00 pm showing this Thursday. Can't get here soon enough.

Why do almost all famous people have twins?

Why do almost all famous people have twins?

Famous people always get extra shit for free.

 

[Wazzy]

Gaahhhhh why do I have to work today? I wanted to go get my tickets. Ugh. They're probably all sold out.

Bought my tickets online for a 6:50 PM Thursday showing. Which is weird cause I thought it would have to be at midnight, guess my theater doesn't care.

I think theaters have changed midnight showings around. Lately a bunch of movies have come out around 7 or 8 the night before.

Edit: I got tickets for 7:00pm.

 

[TheKaeptain]

My friends have decided that we are going to the AMC Fallbrook 7 to watch this movie because the theater has recliners.

Now that these rotten reviews have come out, has your opinion changed knowing that your opinion was wrong?

burn them all

 

[Pop]

Those negative reviews just sound like they're angry at the movie. Like it stole their lunches.

 

[ratcliffja]

This is probably going to settle into the 70s... accept it now.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Guardians of the Galaxy is unoriginal, insubstantial and most significantly, it’s not funny.

He already lost me.

Disney is allowing the picture to be shown on Thursday July 31st at 7:00pm; 6:50pm takes into account the previews, so the show doesn't 'technically' start until 7:00pm. Sneaky sneaky theater.

 

[Jailer of Hope]

Too much fun, not enough funny.

 

[Fireblend]

Welp, the dream is over RIP Marvel.

 

[BronsonLee]

I'm considering skipping seeing this on Friday to go to Kevin Baconfest in Philly instead. They're showing Apollo 13, doing a bunch of bacon related shit, and shooting a rocket full of bacon into space.

...though I may just go see it Saturday on my own, or late Friday night. Either way, seeing it on my birthday on Monday at Movie Tavern will be my second damn viewing of this movie!

I'm not sure if serious, but if you are I can already tell you that your wrong. Mid 80's at the absolute worst.

In other news - I just watched the IGN video review and now my hype levels are even higher than before!

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Once touted as their riskiest film to date, it is artistically and politically as conservative a film as Marvel Studios has ever made. The disappointment of the space adventure is that it is little more than a retread of a pedestrian formula, the numbingly predictable scaffolding of the comic book and superhero genre, hidden under the disguise of a broad comedy. The film’s jokey banter, self-referential tone and pop culture references are smoke and mirrors used strategically to distract us from what is a threadbare narrative of unimaginative climaxes. When the film pauses briefly between action sequences lifted from Star Wars and the digital imagery of video games like Mass Effect it is to pursue an ideological viewpoint that doesn’t inspire or rewrite the blockbuster but merely redecorates it. The film’s values for family and nostalgia are not to be mistaken for depth or thematic goals but compulsory staples of Marvel’s production line, the intention of which is to preserve the genre’s wide commercial appeal while drastically limiting the variety of what mainstream Hollywood chooses to explore.

Uh...OK.

What a waste of bacon.

[Lashley]

93%

[brandonh83]

This movie will end up with a double-digit percentage on the website rottentomatoes.com

I was dying when I saw that clip.

 

[Tricky I Shadow]

93%

That's a really good guess....

I'm thinking about 92%-96%.

 

[piratepwnsninja]

Uh...OK.

Wow...they sound bitter and angry.

 

[Secret Fawful]

I'm surprised, no shocked, that the parts of GAF that hate Marvel haven't come in here to unanimously say that these three reviewers are the only ones willing or brave enough to tell the truth.

That the movie is just "another shitty Marvel movie from that old-school Hollywood system".

 

[richiek]

92% @ RT now.

Welp, it's been a good run Marvel. Time to pack it up.

 

[Secret Fawful]

Then again, maybe the movie really is a shitty movie cranked out by the old-school Hollywood system.

Cause of some critic reviews, haha no

it's an expensive movie shot on an iphone based on an obscure newspaper funny starring a tanuki, andre the giant, the jolly green giants wife, treebeard, and christopher nolan

pack up your bags marvel, and let DC show you how to make a superhero movie.

 

[Mariolee]

Then again, maybe the movie really is a shitty movie cranked out by the old-school Hollywood system.

Or maybe it's a fun movie but some folks just don't get it.

You don't see Star Wars Episode IV with 100%. In fact it's at about what Guardians is at right now.

 

[Expendable.]

Guys, it was fun. More to come.

Yeah, I'm a bit surprised too that the GAF Marvel Hate Brigade hasn't stepped in here to spread their message too. I'm sure after this weekend they will.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Oh yes.

 

[J10]

I think y'all are a little too wrapped up in this review shit. Most of you haven't even seen it yet.

 

[ratcliffja]

Fun like Birdemic fun or fun like Transformers fun?

 

[Secret Fawful]

I think y'all are a little too wrapped up in this review shit. Most of you haven't even seen it yet.

You're right. Because of my personal cynicism, my hype for this movie has been a rollercoaster ride for the last two weeks in which I lose all hype and gain it back 100% and then lose it again.

 

[TEJ]

I think y'all are a little too wrapped up in this review shit. Most of you haven't even seen it yet.

I think you're taking me a bit too seriously

 

[Expendable.]

Fun like Birdemic fun or fun like Transformers fun?

Probably-the-best-Marvel-movie-but-still-problematic kind of fun.

 

[BronsonLee]

What a waste of bacon.

How dare you. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity~!

KEVIN BACON?

but.....I only heard of him in legends.......

He's everywhere~!

Guys, it was fun. More to come.

Tell me more, tell me more

 

[ratcliffja]

Probably-the-best-Marvel-movie-but-still-problematic kind of fun.

Well the best Marvel movies are TWS and Captain America, but those movies have no problems so I'm not sure what you mean.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Probably-the-best-Marvel-movie-but-still-problematic kind of fun.

I can't remember how you feel about Cap 2, but if you think that it was good and Guardians exceeds it, then I'm with you.

 

[x Power Pad Death Stomp x]

Believe the hype. Awesome, and hilarious.

No after credits scene on the previews.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Probably-the-best-Marvel-movie-but-still-problematic kind of fun.

Better than Captain America? I know you particularly loved that one. And I don't blame you.

 

[Father_Brain]

It was pretty great. Groot and Rocket animators outdid themselves.

 

[illmatic22]

Got my tickets for thursday. Yay!
