Looking at Film Critic Hulk's analysis: along with the add-on to get rid of asscaps, is there one that will change "compliment" to "complement" when the latter is obviously the intended word?
Shh! I kinda wanna hear me talking right now!

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.
GotG was number one at the box office again this weekend. Not sure how often movies re-take the top spot 4 weeks out.

Probably a commentary on the other movie options that people wanted to see GotG instead.

Yeah, even the top contenders were in the teens this week, so it wasn't a huge resurgence so much as no big new films debuting and everything else having a steeper drop-off.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Finally caught up with GotG last night. I thought it was okay, not great. Most of the elements that I liked about it, I could point you to the episode of Farscape where they were done better. And I thought the set pieces were, for the most part, pretty dull. (With the exception of the prison break, which was fun. And I thought the way the Nova ships created the shield was neat, but holy god does every movie in the world have to end with a giant spaceship crashing into a city now?)
I think if I'd seen a preview screening before there was any hype, I would have enjoyed it more - I know I would have laughed more if I hadn't been spoiled for literally every joke in the film. (My own fault for not avoiding spoilers, but I never know if/when I'm going to see movies these days, so I don't bother.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I basically felt like Jessica. I think Drax was a biggie primarily because I hadn't seen his schtick over and over in the promos (plus he was flat out funny), but the rest of it didn't live up to the hype.
Definitely well-executed, enjoyable, *might* buy DVD depending on completion urges (will not buy Thor to date).

Is this the first proof we've seen that Superman is actually going to appear at some point in the upcoming movie?
