Let's chat, shall we?

I am going to tell you right now, this post will be all over the place! From Marvel Comics to Nicholas Sparks......I guess you could say I have a touch of ADHD today. I can't seem to focus on just one thing at a time, especially when it comes to movies.

 First off, I just heard the rumor that Benecio Del Toro will NOT be making an appearance as "The Collector" in the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy 2 (hopefully they come up with a much better name than just 2). When he was asked if he would be coming back he said "I don't think so...." That kind of statement pretty much leaves everyone guessing. He is neither confirming nor denying it. Even though his treasured cove of collectibles was blown up in the first one, why couldn't he come back?! BTW, did you happen to see who he was hanging out with after the inferno at the very very very end of the movie? Howard the Duck!!!! Holy crap that made me laugh when I saw that Howard the Duck was one of his collected items.

Next. I just want to give Sly Stallone a nod for winning Best Supporting Actor in the movie Creed. The world needed him to come back as Rocky.

Jumping again! Not only do I love movies, I really enjoy reading as well. One of the most recent books I finished (in a couple days) was Nicholas Sparks' latest "See Me". And I couldn't help but think while reading the entire book........"I wonder who is going to play him in the movie version." Cause let's face it, if Nicholas Sparks writes it, it will more than likely be made in to a movie. I feel like film makers say, "oh, your writing a new book, cool we will start the screenplay."

Jump! Jump! Jump! I have yet to see this movie, but it was just recently released in theaters and that movie is "The Forest." I want to see this movie SO BAD! (busy schedule) Not only do I love ghost movies, but that forest is a real place! That forest was deemed the Suicide Forest after 54 people committed suicide in it within one year! I truly think the actual story of the suicide forest will be much creepier than any movie could ever capture, but I am willing to give them a try. I am also pretty excited to see Natalie Dormer in this film as well. I loved her in the Hunger Games films as Cressida as well as the Elementary series as Moriarty. I know she has a much more extensive acting background, but those are ones I think of her in.

I guess it's just been so long since I posted I felt the need to cover some ground. Thanks for sticking with me! Rant over.

Guardians of the Galaxy.....INDEED!

Let's jump right in shall we? I know this movie has been out for a little while now so I thought it would be a good place to start. First off, I am totally a Marvel nerd. I LOVE LOVE LOVE me some Marvel. I will see pretty much anything that Marvel puts out. You don't even have to tell me what it is about.....I'm there. Now let's get something clear right now so that I don't offend anyone. I do not read Marvel, so if anything I say or talk about isn't true to the comics.....I apologize. I am strictly movie Marvel. Now, Guardians of the Galaxy. So loved this movie! I loved it so much I saw it in theaters twice! Once in 3-D which I highly recommend. I usually gauge how much I enjoy a movie by my excitement or disappoint at the movies ending. For example, "WHAT?! it'a already over? they are making another one right??" If you can't guess, that means I loved it and was sad it ended. Then there is "FINALLY! Let's go get something to eat", which means I was highly unimpressed with this feature film. Guardians of the Galaxy was one that I was excited about from the opening credits. I saw Benecio Del Toro's name and freaked out. I began hitting my friend that I went with saying "It's the Collector!! Holy crap!!" Now if you have seen the second Thor movie, you know who I am talking about. Totally psyched that they tied those two movies together. Which is another reason I am such a big fan of Marvel. I think that putting characters, references, and scenes from other Marvel movies together makes the whole Marvel world seem more plausible. Is it just me that thinks this way?

From the first scene with Peter Quill (Star Lord) in the hospital I was hooked. This movie was funny, exciting, entertaining, and had heart. The choice to have the majority of the soundtrack be songs from the 70's was brilliant. It felt like they weren't trying to make the movie young and in the times by choosing current artists. It cracked me up when people didn't know what Peter's walkman was. I feel like that would happen to anyone carrying around walkman these days. And the walkman being such a minor object having such a significant meaning was really sweet. And Zoe Saldana looks good in color, let's just face it. Blue or green....she can rock it. I always enjoy seeing chicks kick ass in movies too, so it was fun to see Zoe Saldana kick some dude butt. All the characters blended so well together. I just can't say enough about how much I enjoy this movie. If I went through each character one by one this blog would be WAY too long. Let's just say, I will own this movie. I will watch it over and over again and it will be a favorite of mine for many years to come.
