Guardians of the Galaxy: Fucking stupid

Proof that there is one in every crowd.

I was really looking forward to it based on the reviews. Just didnt work for me.

[Martinus]

Guardians of the Galaxy was possibly the most entertaining film I saw in 2014.

So apparently the chick who[[spoiler]played[/spoiler] Beth on Walking Dead is a singer and has a couple EPs out.

ET online has her latest song. It's pretty awful.

Merely mediocre. Too bad for her. If it was a train wreck, it'd probably go viral.

[Josephus]

Yeah, it's not bad enough to be really bad is it.

[MadImmortalMan]

Marco Polo tomorrow.

Lego.  Good, but not as good as i was led to believe.  B/B+.

[Ideologue]

Finally watched one my Netflix rentals, Ernst Lubitsch's Ninotchka.  Really just superb.

See, you guys make fun when I buy movies, but when I keep them for like 30 or 40 days, I'm technically paying like $20 for them already.

[MadImmortalMan]

You think that's bad. I've had Red Beard sitting on my desk for almost a year.

[Ideologue]

Hey, it is three hours long, and not even about samurais.  I've been meaning to watch Ikiru as well as Red Beard, but luckily they're on Hulu Plus.

Now, Bob le Flambeur isn't, and that's been sitting in my house for maybe... 70 days?  What's worse is that I know they don't have a lot of copies of it, so I'm probably dicking some French movie enthusiast out of his disc.

You didn't like it when Lord Business [spoiler]didn't win. [/spoiler]

I was amused by the fact they dropped the "Business" from the baddie's name in the Spanish version of the film.

I liked the film, but wasn't as crazy about it as most people. I think it tries too hard sometimes.

[Ideologue]

That was my problem with the ending, but I let it go.  I haven't seen all of them, but it's gotta be the best animated feature since Tangled.

Yeah, it's not been a particularly great time for American animation, creatively speaking. Pixar has been in a bit of a downturn and nobody seems to be picking the slack.

[Ideologue]

I get the feeling that if Dean DuBlois' original plans for How to Train Your Dragon 2 hadn't been interrupted, it would've been just straight-up amazing, rather than the technically superb but cynical thing that got made.

Frozen being the billion-dollar winner and Tangled being relegated to the pile of merely good Disney movies burns my pants, though.  They owe Idina Menzel like 100 million clams.

But regarding Pixar, I really dug Monsters University.  I like how it's the one kid's movie ever made that says--albeit in the gentlest possible way--trying hard alone doesn't make you a winner.  I wish it'd been a bigger thing: it could've been the cleansing fire to melt the next generation's special snowflakes.

Now, Chris Sanders' Croods sucks, no matter what Tim sez.
