According to Dustin he was too busy sleeping with 2000 women to have a bad time.

I get why people have issues with it. It is basically Xena's outfit and is not recognizable as WW in any way. But maybe it will work in the movie. Synder just seems afraid of primary colors.

I loved it. Especially since I think it was basically an April Fool's joke Marvel was playing on us.

I watched part of this when it came out last year. The only thing I can remember is little kids being split in half and that the shark really seemed to hate fat people.

I love that Matt Smith is 'some guy from Doctor Who'.

Speaking of which, if anyone hasn't listened to the latest episode of Go Bayside with Hot Saucerman, do so immediately. It is fabulous. I didn't think PFT's episodes could be topped, but I think Scotty Too Hotty might have done it.

Oh, I disagree about Agent Carter. I am really looking forward to that show. Plus they've got Dominic Cooper back as Howard Stark. How can you not be interested in essentially a 1940s X-Files? I also don't agree about female superhero films. GOTG's audience was 44% female. Comics are only a man's world behind-the-scenes - this myth about a lack of female nerds is just silly. And come on, who outside of the comics world had ever in their lives heard of Guardians of the Galaxy? I even know comic nerds who didn't really know who they were. And the current lineup didn't even appear in comics until 2008, so it doesn't have the same cache with older fans that Avengers did. If you can give a good story to a walking plant & a talking raccoon, surely you can give a female superhero a good story? This is just a silly as DC claiming Wonder Woman is 'hard to do'. No she's not. She's Wonder Woman! Give her a lasso & a brightly-colored uniform and she'll do the rest.

Well there certainly wouldn't be any complaints about the gang talking over her.

I agree I'm just saying they have even more room since in those 2 years they're expanding to 3 movies a year instead of 2. I'm sure Thor 3 will take one of those spots...maybe an Ant-Man 2 if that ends up being popular. So I'm hopeful we're looking at Black Panther and maybe a Black Widow movie, though I have a feeling they're going to leave her where she's at with supporting roles in Avengers and The Cap series. In which case a Captain Marvel movie would be cool. They could always seed that in GOTG 2 since she's a Kree.

Actually in 2017/18 they're doing 3 films a year, so there's plenty of room for new characters. The lineup looks like this so far: 2015 May 1: The Avengers: Age of Ultron July 17: Ant-Man 2016 May 6: Captain America 3 July 8: Doctor Strange 2017 May 5: Untitled July 27: Untitled (Probably GOTG 2) November 3: Untitled 2018 May 4: Untitled (Probably Avengers 3) July 6: Untitled November 2: Untitled 2019 May 3: Untitled

Very true, though they also said about 6 months ago that they had a rough draft on a Ms Marvel script so hopefully they'll get off their asses and get it done. I'm also hoping those rumors about Wakanda in Avengers 2 means we'll be seeing Black Panther sooner rather than later.

Only if April Richardson is the guest.

Oh it's definitely a good point, I'm sure it wasn't intentional but it is an interesting Freudian slip given the weird molester-y vibe that Gooby has. What I meant about the photos being common wasn't that it was a gross thing society tolerated, but that it was just an innocent thing that people thought was cute. Like they'd put them on greeting cards. It was sort of the equivalent of the Coppertone Girl (something that wasn't sexual at all but that we've sexualized in a modern context). That's not to say it's impossible some of the photographers were creepers, It's just that people commonly use that as evidence that Carroll must have been a weirdo, when really it was not a weird thing at the time.

You may still like this one. It's more Star Wars than Iron Man. I know people that don't like Marvel movies that totally dug this one.

I hear ya, but to be fair movie trailers usually aren't made by the actual film makers. Studios almost always outsource that stuff. And Jerry, this movie is pretty great. It actually subverts a lot of tropes associated with these kinds of movies. And when it embraces those tropes it does so with a wink and a nudge.

I believe that is Jason's Nahant accent popping out.

Oh man, I really wanted to talk about that guy. He's featured kind of prominently in several scenes and he's SO fidgety but he seems more concerned that people are in the lobby than the fact that the streets are apparently flooded & filled with sharks.

I think a better example might be say, Baz Luhrman's Romeo & Juliet, where the story is the same but it's presented in a radically different way. That seems much closer to what Coppola did with Dracula. He just expanded on something that's given very little detail in the book without actually changing the familiar plot.

Plus I love the fact that Oldman's Dracula isn't cursed to become a vampire. He becomes a vampire through sheer force of will. He literally just demands to rise from the dead and then he does.

Oh they definitely fleshed out Dracula's backstory, though to be fair every adaptation tends to do that because Stoker just didn't provide much of one (other than implying he was Vlad). Coppola definitely went with the more romanticized notion of the vampire, but I thought it worked. Those opening scenes where he lays out that backstory interspersed with real elements of Vlad Tepes life (whose first wife did commit suicide) are a real thing to behold. But he follows the events of the novel pretty darn closely, and he includes most of the background characters like Lucy & her 3 suitors, Renfield, etc. Even just the little details, like Lucy hunting children after becoming a vampire or Dracula slowly picking off the ship crew transporting the soil from his castle. I thought he was more faithful than most.

Ok, kind of off topic but I just wanted to point out that the 'pervy' interpretation of Lewis Carroll is highly disputed. The child nudes were a completely normal thing for Victorian England, and every one he took was with a parent present. It's not like he was luring little kids into his photo studio with candy.

Really? I found that the movie followed the book far, far more closely than any other adaptation I've ever seen.

Oh, and normally I'm the first one defending you guys talking over each other, but this episode was ridiculous. Not only could I barely hear the baby, you were constantly walking all over his punchlines! GET IT TOGETHER GUYS
