First Guardians of the Galaxy Poster is Here – And I Like It!

Guardians of the Galaxy could represent the future of Marvel movies. Have they earned enough clout and reputation to get people to see a movie starring characters they’ve never heard of before? I sure hope so!

I thought that was a really good trailer. This is clearly Chris Pratt’s year. He just starred in the hugely popular The LEGO Movie, and now he might be the best part of Guardians of the Galaxy. I thought he was really funny and personable in that trailer. It worked great. I only wish the other characters had some lines in the trailer. This was the perfect opportunity to introduce audiences to Rocket Raccoon, Groot and the others. I at least expected a one-liner at the end of the trailer from Rocket. Heck, even Gamora didn’t get anything more than a sultry bare-back shot.

I want some Rocket Raccoon!

6 Greatest Romantic Missed Opportunities in Comics

I was so excited about The LEGO Movie last week that I totally forgot it was Valentine’s Day! And I had this romantic comic book list all prepared. Welp, fortunately for me, love is an all-year-round sort of thing, and this list works just as good today as it would have last week! It’s a fun bit of speculation game of the top comic book couples I wish would happen. I love a good romance as much as the next person, but for some reason, comic book writers can’t read my mind.

For example: This = Terrible

On the Internet, this sort of thing is known as ‘shipping’. And as much as I enjoy listing my ideal team lineups or what I’d like to see in a potential movie, I’m also a sucker for true love. So here are the top 6 romantic couples in comics that I wish would hook up. And believe me, if I ever get to write comics, these are going to happen.

I’d love to hear some of your romantic ideas in the comments! Please feel free to share.

Guardians of the Galaxy Trailer Tonight!

UPDATE: Check out this 15 second teaser clip in preparation for tonight’s trailer release! Looks awesome!

I wish I had the first Guardians of the Galaxy trailer for you right now, but the fools of the world decided to debut it instead on Jimmy Kimmel Live tonight. I’m not about to watch Jimmy Kimmel Live, so I’ll be waiting for when it hits the web. But if you want to stay up, knock yourselves out.

To tide us all over, Marvel was kind enough to release this beautiful official image!

They don’t look half bad

Looks pretty awesome to me. This trailer is going to either kick the most ass ever, or it’s going to reveal Guardians of the Galaxy to be a huge bomb! I’m hoping for the former.

Clearly Batman + LEGOs is a Winning Combination

Enjoy this LEGO Batman Arkham video on your no-doubt harsh Monday!

With The LEGO Movie dominating the box office, surely I can’t be the only person in a LEGO mood recently. Brought to use by the folks at forestfire101.

Game of Thrones is Going to be Even More Badass Than We Realize

I just realized that it’s not very often you see full trailers for TV shows, but Game of Thrones definitely nails it!

I can’t wait for Season 4. Every indication is that it’s going to be epic. And was that a full-sized dragon in that trailer!?
