Patton Oswalt is Our Nerd King
I love Patton Oswalt, I love Parks and Recreation and I love Star Wars. Somehow, in this wonderful world of ours, those three things will come together tonight in a glorious manifesto of Oswaltian brilliance! And even better, the people at NBC posted online the full, unedited spiel!
Trust me when I say all 9 minutes are completely worth it. Oswalt is playing a citizen of Pawnee, Indiana, where Parks & Rec takes place, and he decides to impose a citizen filibuster during a city council meeting. He has to talk uninterrupted for however long he wants without ceding the floor to keep the council from some kind of vote. So he launches into this great proposal for his vision of Star Wars Episode VII.
It’s greatness personified.
It’s good to be a geek.
Chris Pratt as Star-Lord! This is Awesome!
Marvel has once again scored an awesome casting coup by scoring Chris Pratt as Star-Lord in the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy film! If you’ve never heard of him, Pratt is spectacular and hilarious as Andy on Parks and Recreation, one of my favorite TV shows.
What a handsome guy
So I am incredibly excited by this news! I love Pratt, and I think he would be absolutely perfect for the semi-comedic role of Star-Lord. Not much has been released about what we can expect from Guardians of the Galaxy, but if Star-Lord is anything like he is in the comics, Pratt will be perfect. Even if they have to cover up his pretty mug with Star-Lord’s badass helmet.
Not quite as handsome, but he makes up for it in badassery
For those who don’t know, Star-Lord is the leader of the Guardians, and the only human on the team. He’s the smart, clever, and sarcastic one, with a great sense of human. He’s also an action star. I think this could be a real career-maker for Chris Pratt. I am very, very excited by this news. And if you aren’t watching Parks and Rec, you definitely should be.
