Subject: New Guardians of the Galaxy trailer -- trailer now added !
Wow, it really is a trailer for the trailer which I guess comes out tomorrow. Not sure what I think of this one yet... I did see a full trailer for it at the theater, but it didn't sway me either way.
The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

Bradley Cooper (Rocket) is pretty damn famous - The A-Team, The Hangover, Silver Linings Playbook, American Hustle etc
I haven't seen a single thing you just mentioned.

Do Americans watch their own TV shows and films?
Too busy watching anime and bbc myself.
Same, but add older shows and terrible horror movies I find trawling Netflix/Hulu/Amazon Prime.

No over thinking, no moralising, no "message", just good laughs.
Honestly, I don't think a movie with no message exists. Anyways I'm excited for this as this looks quite different thematically from a lot of other Marvel movies.

I guess there's a difference between a movie that has a message (Jurassic Park) and a movie that preaches at you, banging you over the head with its points until it becomes painful (Avatar).

Agreed, some movies are better than others at conveying a message, have something more substantial to say than others, are more subtle about it, etc.

Me too. I thought that'd be one of the things they just left out, but nope, Marvel wanted to go Cosmic with their movies, so they're going Celestial as well!
So we can actually add to the comparison with DC's shortcomings:
DC is having trouble getting Wonder Woman to screen. Meanwhile Marvel has a film about a talking Raccoon and his talking sentient Tree friend, and they have a base inside the severed head of a giant celestial being.

Yes, DC (or Warner Bros at least) have a tendency to overthink things rather than focusing on putting together a fun adventure story.
This is where Marvel is doing so much better and it helps that they understand their stories better than a typical studio would so they can throw some of the random stuff (Racoons et al) into the mix.
I did enjoy Nolan's Batman and he produced a very effective version of the story, but by the conclusion of the trilogy, I was ready for something a bit more light hearted. Step forward the Avengers.
which I guess comes out tomorrow. Not sure what I think of this one yet... I did see a full trailer for it at the theater, but it didn't sway me either way.
