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.
Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

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.

This movie looks so fucking ridiculous. But possibly in an awesome way.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
At this point, I just trust that team to make it awesome.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
It worries me that Chris Pratt's Ryan Reynolds-esque wise guy persona rankles well before the end of the trailers. I'm not sure I'll be able to sit through an entire movie full of it. (Also doesn't help that I loathe the sound of John C. Reilly's voice, and he does most of the talking in the first trailer I saw.)
