Just having the GotG soundtrack on my phone makes me happy, even though I haven't begun to listen to it yet.
Can we maybe vote on the whole murdering people issue?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yeah, I downloaded it and listened to it once--it is happy-making.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I said the other night that I think I already have half the soundtrack in my iTunes, and Tim said, "I think we played half the soundtrack at our wedding!" (I think the Jackson 5 song was actually "ABC", though.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am glad they stuck with that through the movie. And that they didn't use Don't Stop Believing (because Losers).

I just ordered tickets to see GotG in Imax/3D on Friday. So psyched.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Hmmm. I wonder which company will meet most of its deadlines?

If Marvel can meet the Ant-Man deadline, I shall marvel.
That said, I still think they should nuke their Ant-Man from orbit and call it good.

You never know, a lot of people predicted GotG would flop, being based on obscure characters with few ties to the existing Marvel movies that not that many people care about. I'm wondering if Kevin Feige is an actual wizard at this point.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Is there no way to slot in a non-white-man lead before 2017, Marvel???

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I can't predict whether Ant-Man will flop, but I predict I will hate it based on how I can't stand the character. (Also, I can't stand the sight of Michael Douglas's face.) I never liked Hank Pym, but I never liked Star-Lord either, so they've proved they can re-work a character to make me like him. But I can't suspend my disbelief over making a human being the size of an ant, retaining a human consciousness in the tiny brain, and then making him human again. I hated Giant-Man too. Yes, despite that I embrace Bruce Banner's egregious mass changes with delight. Hulk is a metaphor for uncontrollable rage, and I like me some metaphor. Also, Pym was a jerk, and Banner is not.
In conclusion, I wish they were putting the energy of making Ant-Man into making a Black Widow movie.
