Who Guards the Guardians?

I think I'll put that on a t-shirt. You know, it's like Who Watches the Watchmen? Except it's Guardians. Anyway, I just wanted to share this piece of awesomeness:

I have seen Guardians four times now. With different people each time, and always paid for by my companions (I have nice friends.) I will write a proper review at some point.

Movie Review - Lucy

Lee here:

From La Femme Nikita and The Professional to The Fifth Element, Luc Besson always enjoys packing his films with strong female characters. Lucy is no different. Besson's shameless, fearless, fun-filled, sci-fi adventure doesn't pretend to be any more than it is, and I like that. Scarlett Johansson seems to be enjoying her foray into sci-fi lately, as evidenced by her brilliant work on Her and Under The Skin, and she doesn't hold anything back for Lucy. The gravitas she brings to the role is the glue holding all of this together. And as far as sci-fi goes, don't expect a lot of sci. Morgan Freeman's serious face in the trailer makes audiences think that Lucy might try to go in a cerebral direction. Don't be fooled. In fact, I would call straight up fantasy. But Besson makes great stylistic choices. As I said on Twitter, this film is like injecting LSD directly into your eyeballs. And who doesn't love that?

No seriously, Morgan Freeman wants to know.

I would love to hear what you thought of it.

Stellar Chris Nolan

Okay, who's ready for this movie?

Ever since Memento, Christopher Nolan has been a director to watch.

What do you all think of Interstellar?

Is Guardians the new Star Wars?

See this photo of us? Imagine that we are kids.

This film tapped into that place where our inner children sit. It tapped in and then pumped those kids full of pure, unadulterated, entertainment sugar.

See the entertainment sugar high?

This reminds me of the high we had when we walked out of the theater after the 10th anniversary showing of Return of the Jedi in 1993. And then I think, Wait. Is Guardians of the Galaxy the Star Wars of this generation? Or is this generation too jaded to have another phenomenon like Star Wars? I'll have to think about it, but not right now, because that line of thinking makes me sad. I'll just keep thinking about how happy my inner child is right now.

These inner children will be bouncing off the wall for a few days.

Have you seen this?

Part of me -- the part that can quote all of Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome -- is super excited about this. The other part of me wonders if sometimes it would be better to just let a franchise be X movies long and then leave it to be cherished in our memories.

What do you think?

Michael Bay Hates Us

What do you think he'll do next? He-Man? Thundercats? The Care Bears?
