I like how Marvel's taking their C-listers (and let's agree, they are C-listers) not too seriously. If they want to get into the Infinity Gauntlet story like they've hinted, they need to go cosmic. And when you have a homicidal raccoon, his walking tree-bro, the adopted daughter of Death's BFF and a dude who calls himself…. Star Lord… you need to go with comedy.
Originally shared by Curt Thompson This is an interesting theory, but I notice the author has to omit one of the most important Heinlein novels to make it work. Time Enough For Love was written in the very early 70s and was a straight (heh) extrapolation of the chaotic and frenetic zeitgeist of that era. http://www.locusmag.com/Perspectives/2012/11/the-joke-is-on-us-the-two-careers-of-robert-a-heinlein/

Originally shared by Andrew “Incomitatum” Chason Hit Me with your Horror I am looking for some horror flicks. The newer the better. Good is good too. I liked House of 1000 Corpses and Devil's Rejects . I liked both the new Texas Chainsaw movies. Hills Have Eyes 1 was good (never saw the second . Jeepers Creepers 1 & 2 come to mind as well. A little camp, and/or "back woods" can't hurt. Any of you have any recommendations? Lets try and not go too far back than mid 90's. Aside: How was the new "Freddy" movie? Suggested So Far • Bones (2001) • Drag Me to Hell (2009) • The Grudge (2004) • Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2010) • Dog Soldiers (2002) • The Decent (2005) • Creature (2011) • The Last Winter (2006)
Based on what we've seen of the two movies, it looks like 2014 is the year Rocket Raccoon and Groot became less absurd than the ninja turtles.
ReplyDeleteLooks entertaining. Superhero Comedy. If this is successful it backs up your claim that a Star Wars buddy comedy would be huge.
ReplyDeleteI like that Marvel has figured out that comic book movies can appeal to a broad audience without being dark and brooding. Someone should tell DC.
