That is a splendid line.
Magnificent, even.
I tinkered with it. Can I get partial credit? Call it a remake.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

So I saw Belle last night: it's a based-on-fact biopic about a young biracial girl in the mid-1700s whose father was a British naval officer and who recognized her and had her raised by his family in a world of wealth and privilege. The cast is great, and although the pace of the story is a little slow, it's quite a feel-good movie about the slow legal steps that shut down the slave trade in the British empire.
Also, it has fabulous clothes.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I've been curious about Belle, it looks so beautiful.
From further back, if molestation is that common in the movie business maybe child-star freakouts make more sense than we think.
I had that thought too, erika. Regardless of whether or not outright molestation is involved, the music and movie biz both have a bad track record of looking after the well-being of their performers.

I saw Godzilla and Only Lovers Left Alive last weekend. While I'm happy I shelled out to see both in the theaters (note: not a Godzilla purist), OLLA is the one I'll probably buy on DVD. I'm glad I saw Dead Man way back when, because it helped set expectations for the pacing in OLLA. SWINTON and Hiddleston were luminous. Amusingly enough, the previews before OLLA included RDJ, Scarlett Johanson, and Jeremy Renner. The whole thing was a parade of Marvel Actors on break.

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

They are being pretty smart with those Guardians trailers.
The first one had the goofy factor that drew me in...snappy music and all...this second one sucks me in ever deeper with a closer look into the personalities of our heroes.
"Something good. Something bad. A bit of both" sound SO much like Joss delivery.
I am clearly their demographic.
Now I'm curious to see if the music actually shows up in the film.

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 love that trailer. And the "take down" of the poster.
Now I'm curious to see if the music actually shows up in the film.
I think it will. I want to say I read an interview with the director where he said the music is Quill's connection to Earth.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I read something similar. It's why Quill gets so pissed off when the alien guard takes his walkman.

Excellent.
I am so looking forward to this.
