My wife has a thing for the Marvel Chris-es...

Chris Evans

Chris Hemsworth

... but Chris Platt doesn't do a thing for her, so she's gonna pass.

Oh well, I guess I'll use the money for her ticket to see it again.

My wife has decided (on her own, mind you) that she wants to see GOTG, now that she has seen some of the merchandise at the malls. Go figure.

My wife is the opposite, she's more "Let me know how it is." And she loves pretty much all of the Marvel movies so far, but she said she was drawing the line at talking trees and raccoons.

Projections continue to rise, RS says now likely low 80's. Would destroy August OW record.

Ticket purchased for a 7:00 showing on Thursday. A few years ago I would've been down for a midnight showing, but work the next day would be rough!

One interesting thing is that the Texas Theater (of Lee Harvey infamy) is advertising a 35mm print of this...I'm not sure how that's even possible. Are there multiple cities with an actual celluloid print?

There are lots of small towns and such that don't even have digital projectors in their theaters yet. Prints are definitely being made.

Heard a reviewer saying that GOTG is a mishmash of Cowboy Bebop, Star Wars, Firefly & Indiana Jones.

Welp lol.

Is there a reason why you don't Google anything?

I have tickets for tomorrow...I know very little about the Guardians from any of the books, so I am going in cold to this one. But based on what I have seen and read, I think this is going to be huge.

Spoiler:
the 'mystery credit' for Howard the Duck that nobody could figure out.

Apparently he can also be seen as part of the Collector's Collection during the main part of the film, but he doesn't have any lines there. I assume he's not given an origin, but fans are probably meant to assume that he was "collected" from his home planet.

Is this the mid-credits sequence or the VERY END credits sequence?

The very end. There is also a mid-credits sequence:

Spoiler:

We see Baby Groot dancing to the Jackson 5 song “I want you back” near Drax. Groot stops dancing when Drax looks; this happens multiple times.

No raccoons or tree creatures were harmed during the making of this film.

Guardians Of The Galaxy will return
