I know nothing at all about the source material, but I do like the trailer!
Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I also know nothing about the source material, but I can get behind a gun-toting raccoon riding a sentient plant.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
this is what I'm saying.

Because books.
Okay, even without the raccoon, "Hooked on a Feeling" would have, uh, hooked me. That looks like FUN.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Ha! Guardians of the Galaxy was such a whackadoodle concept, where Marvel brazenly created characters that were knockoffs of DC characters (not evident here) and sent the X-Men into space (that's where Prof. Xavier wound up marrying his Galactic Space Wife)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

(I learned all my X-Men from the cartoon.)

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I remember reading the X-Men in space comics. I don't remember the Guardians, though.
My only experience with them was their one appearance on Avengers: EMH and Starlord was voiced by Steve Downes (The Master Chief from Halo.)
Downes is actually the morning DJ on one of the local stations around here (which is actually where Bungie decided to hire him from, as they were originally based in Chicago before MS bought them) and it's still a weird disconnect some mornings hearing the Master Chief shilling for AT&T and talking about "Today in rock history".

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I think you might be confusing the Guardians of the Galaxy with the Starjammers, Hec.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Definitely looking forward to Guardians of the Galaxy. It looks like it takes itself as unseriously as the concept demands.
And the trailer gets bonus points for gratuitous Blue Swede.

You're totally right.
