The Avengers/Marvel movies

‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ a Risk Worth Taking for Marvel Studios | Variety

“We want to show that we can make films with characters (you may not have heard of),” Feige says. “It’s not about a marquee superhero. It’s about whether it’s inherently a good idea for a movie.”

And good on you for it, sir.

If Gunn had to prove anything to Marvel to land “Guardians,” it was his ability to tackle the big action scenes. He did that by storyboarding major setpieces he wanted to see in the film before landing the job. “I’ve been waiting to do huge action sequences my whole life, and I just never had the budget to be able to do it,” he says. With “Guardians,” Gunn now had a much larger budget than what he was used to (“Super” was made for $3 million; “Slither” for $15 million), and could “envision any shot in my head and make it a reality. It’s wonderful. It’s orgasmic to say the least.”

This is a good read.
 
Just got back from seeing GOTG and I'm not sure I can find the words to adequately describe just how much I loved it. I think it might be my new favorite Marvel film.

I laughed, I cried, I clapped, I cheered, I squealed...I'm seeing it again tomorrow night.
 
KREEEEEEEE going tomorrow afternoon. 4:10 cause there weren't a 4:20 show. It's already my 2nd fave movie this year...and I haven't seen it.
 
I just got back from bowling, and, man, did I bowl like crap. I should have ditched bowling and gone to see Guardians of the Galaxy instead. Where are my priorities, anyway?
