Also The Eagles aren't immune from corruption, even Gandalf was tempted briefly by the fate. The eagles can't be trusted.

Nova Prime (Glenn Close) and Gamora speak about something that is not a man, but there conversation is more of a group conversation so I don't know if that counts.

I definitely understand Trey's first point - because as a huge fan of the Guardians of the Galaxy comics (and more importantly the storylines that lead before the team got their own book) it was way easier for me to get. I know these characters, items and events, so it's more just seeing how they're slotted in to this take on the universe, and while I really enjoyed the film as a whole, there was a niggling feeling in the back of my mind about how confused people who weren't me were.

As a fan of the series, I was just happy to be in a theater watching a movie of this property, as I never in a million years would have thought it would happen. While waiting for the post-credit scene two kids next to me talked excitedly about the characters (mainly Groot, Rocket and Drax) and it validated my entire investment in the series for me.

Edgar Wright's approach was actually not involving the character with the bad marriage, Paul Rudd was set to star as the second character to don the Ant-man mantle whose a single-father.

I am truly curious to see what caused this divide considering the film only exists because of Wright's script and vision. So far all we're getting is the normal PR "amicable split".

Amazing. What a wonderful way to start off April Fools.

Looking forward to the Intermission

1. Film adaptation of Mark Adams "Turn Right at Machu Picchu". Essentially a story about the "discovery" of Machu Picchu, but with the tone conveyed by Mark Adams writing. Essentially a "The Men Who Stare at Goats" adaption of "true events", with Alan Tudyk and Sam Rockwell as the leads.

2. A movie based on the pitch given in "The Mummy" podcast, where a group of veteran heist-men stumble upon a secret museum ritual being done to keep the monster asleep, to later come and steal it and utilize him as their newest member. They really come to bond with the mummy over several heists, and decide to embark on their greatest mission yet - to sneak an undead indestructible monster out of the country and get it home, without getting caught. The Mummy would obviously be played by Doug Jones.

3. Marvel Studio's Black Panther, an exiled man's journey to transform himself into something greater in order to retake his kingdom, with breath-taking cinematography, gratuitous use of beautiful African scenery and solid well-choreographed combat. I basically really wanna see Black Panther get his time to shine before the bubble bursts.

I finally caught Zero Dark Thirty on Starz. Never was super interested in it because I always felt it looked like a sort of propaganda film. Was actually really entertained and drawn-in by it, and surprised to see it focused more on how much we fucked up and got in the way of actually finding UBL.

After that they played Terminator 2, so it was a good way to spend an evening.

Nice to see Godzilla fucking up Las Vegas.
