Listening to the soundtrack right now... when did Spirit in the Sky play?

Hey guys, loved the movie. What scene or scenes got the biggest laugh from you? For me it was
Quill's 'dance-off' in front of Ronan. It was absurd but Pratt sold it on every level. I actually couldn't breathe.
It isn't in the movie, only in the trailers.
Afraid not. There's a scene before the credits, and a scene afterwards!

Technically there's no real mid-credits scene. It says 'GOTG will return', then there's a scene, then there's the credits, then there's a post credits scene.

Awesome. Cannot wait to see this tomorrow night! Digging what I've heard of the score so far too.
That, obviously.
Also,
the "throat" scene with Drax (including him taking the guys favourite knife), the Footloose bit, the "I have a plan / 12%" was very funny, got a lot of laughs.
Man, this was everything I wanted from a GotG movie. The highest praise I can give it is when it finished I thought "Wow - Ep VII has a lot to live up to". This is how you do a FUN space movie. Humour was pitch perfect, effects were great, story was decent.
And it blows the doors open for the Marvel Cosmic Universe in fine style

I've wanted to bone a hot blue skinned alien chick.
Good, good.
Looks like impressions and reviews in general seem to be strong. I will have to wait a good few weeks before I can watch this unfortunately. I've already booked seats for Winter Solider a while back for about a week from now, and I don't think I can change that to this.
I'm probably going to try though. Doesn't hurt to try.

That...is REALLY high for Non-IMAX 3D. Where is it at? Can you buy tickets on Fandango? There's that gimmick to get 5$ off your ticket, if you want to try that
Yeah, the got fancy reclining cushioned seats and, while still not IMAX, has a bigger screen than usual.
As for Fandango, I haven't seen anything for Vancouver in particular (although that maybe just me being lazy to sift through the awful site layout).

I just saw this on Grantland and think it's hilarious. Makes me like Vin. I never hated him, just felt pretty indifferent.

James Gunn, you did good. I absolutely loved it. The cast were fantastic, Pratt was such a great Star-Lord and I loved the music and visuals. I wanted to pick up the soundtrack afterwards but none of my local music stores had it.
Only disappointment was the post-credits scene. It was funny but I wanted more!
If we're doing MCU rankings I'd say my top 3 are now:
Guardians of the Galaxy
Avengers
Winter Solider / Iron Man

I heard there was a reference to Slither, possibly in the Collector's scene. Could someone give that away for me. I will forget to check for it once I'm watching.
Post credits
Howard the Duck made it up to me. What a bizzare decision to include him at the end.
This movie could win best comedy for 2014.

That's the standard price here too (Edmonton, Canada). $18.50 for AVX (basically high quality regular theatre). IMAX is $20.50

I warned you guys that it would plummet. People always forget that early reviewers tend to be a LOT more kind.

I wonder if we will get a pinball machine out of this movie. The Avengers is one of my Favorite pin of the last 5 years. It's unfortunately prone to mechanical issue since it has so much going on; the balls gets stuck too often.

Standard ticket is like $12.50-$13.
But almost every movie has 3D, so that's an extra $2-3.
Want reserved seating? Another $2-3.
I rarely see movies so paying $18 for Captain America 2 was worth it. Didn't have to line up an hour beforehand for good seats.
Really have to disagree with the "intense moments" critique. There definitely very intense personal moments for the main characters, different from the ones we see in TWS, but the audience in my screening reacted very strongly to many moments, more so than with TWS (not the same audience of course, but I watched GotG with a lot of the same friends).
It depends on what you like of course. The movie is objectively good. My dad went to the screening and he isn't that big of a Marvel fan and generally, but had a great time with the film and liked it. TWS left him ambivalent, and I saw the same thing with the rest of the older members of the audience.
anyone who isn't a hopeless Marvel stan (and I say that a huge fan) realistically knew it was going to go down

Yeah it's just like a fun game to see how long it can stay near the top.
Don't even give a shit about reviews - you can tell just from following the production how much love and care was put into this damn movie. And the GAF impressions seem to tell the same story.
