Closed Film and TV threads

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.

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.

My only gripe was wasting Lee Pace as Generic Marvel Villain (TM). I couldn't see any there there other than unmotivated malice.

Yeah, on another site someone mentioned the only real acting Pace got to do was his befuddlement when Quill was trying to engage him in a dance-off.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

To be fair, though, that was kind of awesome.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

OK, I can agree with that.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I just saw it last night with my aunt! (She enjoyed it, btw)

During the dance-off scene, you know Pace has acting chops because he didn't crack up.

Amazing how so many of the characters have stayed with me into the next day. The biggest surprise was Bautista's Drax, who was yet another key point of comic relief and good characterization.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Yes. I totally didn't expect to like him, but he ended up being my favorite character.

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

I would like to star Theo and Steph's posts.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

AS would I.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

The thing that makes me even happier about Drax is that Bautista really, REALLY wanted the part and apparently broke down and wept when he heard he got it.

I've used the "over the head" quote in "straight" discussion, and it plays very well. Now, if it had his delivery...that would be a nice keeper clip.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

The biggest surprise was Bautista's Drax, who was yet another key point of comic relief and good characterization.

Film Crit Hulk has a really good analysis of how the GotG script uses humor to establish character and draw the audience into the narrative.
