LeJackal posted:I don't want to confirm this via observation, but I know that with the release of this poster the time until pictures of that raccoon thing loving somebody on that poster appearing on the internet is going to exponentially decrease until it is a mathematical certainty. Rocket Raccoon has been around for thirty years and has a sizable cult following. It already exists and has for some time.

kiimo posted:I'd never heard of Guardians of the Galaxy before this movie. If I see that poster I'm thinking they're seriously trying to sell me a comic book superhero movie with a loving raccoon in it. The "You're Welcome", however, let's me know that it's all kind of in jest and light fare no matter how serious the pose is. Yeah, I was in the same boat, and was worried that it would take itself way too seriously. The trailer was a lot funnier than I expected and, while at first it might seem like an oddball choice to make a big-budget summer movie out of, I can see people warming to it if they do a good job getting the word out.

It feels like goofy fun and the kind of movie where you can't help but grin while watching.

Agreed. I like how they're not following the conventional rules for superhero movies. I'm probably going to go see it, especially since I consider Rocket Raccoon as really cool.

Yeah, I've been kinda burnt out on superhero movies, especially Marvel movies, for a bit, so I didn't immediately check out the Guardians trailer, but a couple days after I decided "What the hell" and gave it a watch. And now I'm actually super looking forward to it because it looks like it owns.

All I knew beforehand was that Karen Gillan (Amy Pond from Doctor Who) was in it. She's not on the poster, don't worry, you didn't miss her.

The level of humour in the trailer is nothing we haven't seen already from Iron Man, and it's not orders of magnitude weirder than Branagh's Thor. The opening of the trailer is a straight up Indiana Jones reference. People expecting something massively different from comic book/adventure norms may end up pretty disappointed.

I walked by this in the new release section today. I wondered why it was in the new release because my brain thought it was this until I had a closer look.  It even has the same 3D slip cover. Slasherfan fucked around with this message at 18:21 on Feb 21, 2014 |

That tagline doesn't even make sense. Unless "Skinwalkers" is the name of a town I guess.

Isn't "skinwalker" just the Native American word for "werewolf"? Is this movie about aliens or werewolves? Or alien werewolves?

I kind of expect the film to accommodate having a name actor in the role and break the whole "he only says 'I am Groot'" rule. Maybe not.

And one line doesn't exclude grunts, laughs, cries of pain, expressions of confusion and what not. It's not like Marcel Marceau in Mel Brooks' Silent Movie.

Frankly it's one of the natural fits for the motif, the three best known things about Jonestown are: TV footage intended for air in the US with creepy poo poo going on in the periphery, the shootout on the airstrip and a 2 hour+ long audio recording of a mass suicide.

I just sort of feel that the footage is already out there - it happened, it was documented, it was very real. Any take on it sensationalises it, and maybe I don't mean 'demeans' it but it does kind of demean it - the audio file out there is full of real, tangible, human emotion, a dramatisation or even a derivative work like this just seems surplus to sum human requirements. It's an odd position to take which I wouldn't normally, but something about this kinda bugs me.
