Saturday matinee
Sep. 13th, 2014 07:56 pmI went out and saw Guardians of the Galaxy today! It was a fun time. I liked Rocket and Star Lord more than I expected (not that I thought I'd hate 'em, but I don't think I expected to feel quite so warm), and of course I am seriously full of ♥ GROOOOOOOOOOOT ♥ .
It was a complete festival of Hey It's That Actor, too, which I enjoyed. Everywhere I looked was a solid pro, throwing themselves into the role and really understanding the tone of the movie (especially the way the sense of humor, while dominant, wasn't allowed to completely take over, keeping it grounded in emotional honesty so we could care about the characters). No one was making "I'm too good for this" hostage-face, no matter what makeup they wore or what alien-planet-ese they had to declaim.
(Special award to Lee Pace, who, as Thranduil has shown us, is SO GOOD AT STRIKING A POSE. I want him to come over for beer and snacks and a POSE PARTY.)
