Guardians of the Galaxy discussion thread — Page 2

This is inspiring some awesome fan posters out there...

Here's the soundtrack in film order.

I am Groot.

I want to see it again! Torn between it and the Rifftrax Live Godzilla thing Thursday night. Would be sweet if the box office put GOTG ahead of TMNT next weekend.

Are there any deluxe action figures out there? If they make a "life size" Rocket, I'm in deep trouble. ;)

I've seen it twice so far and I'm still thinking about maybe going to see it again, maybe this time in 2D.

^ "Oh Yeah"

1/6th Scale Rocket and Groot

Now that's an action figure! I shudder to think how much it costs these days.

That's not all, these are pretty awesome...

Saw it today. Incredible. Not Star Wars incredible, but the same vein for sure. Best movie I've seen in forever.

So that's why he looked so familiar! I could not for the life of me place him.

I went out on Monday to buy a copy at Walmart, I couldn't find a single copy. Ended up buying it on iTunes.

 Keep in mind there are two versions. The two disc edition has the original score. (And different artwork.)  I've only seen that at Barnes and Noble.

If you got a Guardians movie with a bunny instead of a raccoon, this might be why. ;)

There had damn well better be a sound activated electronic toy of that. :)

I don't believe that. How does a digital copy of a 2 year old movie get transferred to a hard drive, encoded, shipped, and decoded without anyone noticing that it's the wrong movie? The run times are different, the studios are different, and projectionists still test the copies to make sure they're not corrupted, so they would notice it's the wrong movie. Especially if they already made the mistake before.

 The sad state of auto-pilot, usher-free and projectionist-free cinema these days. On the rare occasions when I've watched a film 3 or 4 times at the cinema in recent years, it's scary how completely different it can look depending on the venue and if they've hired anybody whose job it is to give a sh*t how a film is projected.

So I've listened to the GOTG soundtrack to death already and I wanted more of the same smile inducing music, so decided to make another "Awesome" mixtape of groovy, pop, rock etc tracks from the 1967-1979 period. Here's the playlist mixtape I put together on iTunes a TDK D90...

SIDE A
1. Sparks - The No. 1 Song In Heaven (Single Version)
2. Thin Lizzy - Jailbreak
3. Luxury - Green Hearts
4. Blondie - Fan Mail
5. The Hues Corporation - Miracle Maker (Sweet Soul Shaker)
6. Big Star - The Ballad Of El Goodo

SIDE B
1. George Harrison - What Is Life
2. Elton John - Nice And Slow
3. The Knack - My Sharona
4. The Modern Lovers - Roadrunner
5. Tommy James & The Shondells - Crimson & Clover (Single Version)
6. Roxy Music - Virginia Plain

If you have the tracks you can have a listen. I couldn't help imagining what scenes they'd soundtrack in the sequel. Obviously Thin Lizzy's 'Jailbreak is dependant on them getting arrested again LOL. I'd like to hear other peoples' GOTG mixtapes.

 Trained projectionists are as rare as Jedi knights these days. I don't know about the UK, but older family films are brought back as morning matinees in theaters here, especially in the summer.
