Julie and PC, I had the same reaction.
This is a time of celebration, so sit still and be quiet.

Okay, I have a horrible memory lane movie question:
70's/80's flick. Missionaries. Non-white country. Lady missionary gets raped (offscreen) and then has her face blown off.
Yes, this imagery has been popping up in my head of late, I can't begin to understand why, but I feel if I identify it, I can move on from it. It's awful.
Also, why was I able to watch this when I was probably five years old? Even if I was ten, wtf?

Any word on whether to go 3D (or even IMAX 3D) for Guardians of the Galaxy? I'm thinking Saturday matinee.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
It sounds like IMAX 3D might be cool for this one because it changes aspect ratios like The Dark Knight, even though it wasn't filmed with IMAX cameras. Seems like the new thing is to film with 3D conversion in mind rather than specifically film in 3D.
To 3D or Not to 3D says definitely do 3D. Alas, I'm seeing it in 2D.

Thanks! I'll probably end up making a spur of the moment decision based on when I can get to the theater and how sold out they may be, but IMAX 3D does seem like a potentially awesome option.

Interesting little detail I picked up on rewatching Gravity: During the dream sequence, where Clooney returns to the capsule, she never stops taking in big gulps of air while she's talking to Imaginary!Clooney. Clooney's breathing is fine, but hers is gasping and open-mouthed throughout. Because the 02 is still off, of course. Just found that to be a nice little tidbit.

I saw Guardians in 2D and it was super fun. There were a couple of draggy moments but, overall, a winner.
A bunch of laugh out loud bits and the cgi for Rocket is a.maz.ing.
I could not tell who Nathan played and cannot find an image, so will have to rewatch now that I know the character name.
I need to get a copy of the Marvel encyclopedia to figure out who all these characters are. So much to learn!

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.
bonny, I think he said at one of the Comic-Con/NerdHQ panels that he plays one of the aliens in the prison.

I only heard him say 'unrecognizable.'
Nailed that, for sure!
The credits say monsterous prisoner and I suspect he was the prisoner whose nose Groot...um...picked . Still, I'm a savant when it comes to voices and I did not recognize his.
