'Out Of Gas'
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.
We saw GotG, too, and I pretty much agree with: AWESOME. The movie was such so freaking much FUN. And I cannot get over how much it reminded me of Farscape, in all the best ways.
I loves me some Groot, HARD, but I think Drax might be my favorite.
And I need to get the soundtrack. Or the songs I don't already have (which is about half, I think).
That was my first strong reaction - the soundtrack was so good and so cleverly used.
I didn't realize Lee Pace was Ronan until I was reading back through the posts here. He was pretty good.
Someone put up the playlist on Spotify, you just have to search for Guardians of the Galaxy.

Emmett saw the credits and turned to me, "The Piemaker is Ronan?!"
"The Piemaker is Ronan?!"
That's almost verbatim what I said to Tim.
And -- did everyone catch the semen joke? (The black light/Jackson Pollock line on Quill's ship, after Gamora said the ship was filthy.) I am endlessly amused they slipped that one in.
Yep. Though I'm a tiny bit skeptical that info about that artist would have made enough of an impression on gradeschool-age Peter that he'd be making joking references after 26 years of no contact with Earth culture.

True enough. But I was so startled/amused at the fact they slipped the joke in, I can forgive it.
( "Ranger Rick", on the other hand, was PERFECT.)
Matt I caught the line but hadn't thought about that however there were other references (mostly visual) that made me think that there is some level of contact with humans. I mean, everyone seemed to know that Quill was Terran and what that meant. And Yando (or however you spell his name) had the troll doll and some other things that were very EArth like. Plus there was Peter's stereo. He could have made that or had someone make it, and he could have had those things in his backpack (the troll and other little things) but I got the impression that other Terrans had ended up in that part of space maybe taking stuff or info with them.
So they're making a sequel to Hansel and Gretel. Did it really make enough money to justify a sequel? Or are Jeremy Renner's arms and butt that much a draw?
