The Guardians of the Galaxy 2


Okay, the film was alright. It is two hours long, there are some nice character moments. It is quite forgettable really.

What I liked...

The things to come/Metropolis style look of the Sovereign planet

Kurt Russell, I want a young Kurt Russell to play me, in a film about my life. I don't look like Kurt Russell but I want people to think I did. I am a big fan of Snake Pliskken

The Ego-Star lord story is a nice spin of the Siren's myth

Nebula, telling Gamora that she wanted a sister, was good. I am not too keen on Karen Gillian's Merican accent though

Drax-`` I have huge turds!''

Michael Rooker playing a hero! Finally!

The Alaskan mining camp world, with the robot sexbots. The sexbots being shown as painfully coldly robotic

The pirates being spaced.( Blown out of the airlock If you have not seen Babylon 5)

 The Michael Hasselhoff cameo was amusing , pretty sure that was ripped from the original footage.

Surprised to see Tango and Cash in the same film

The Zune gag (Zune was the MS challenge to the Ipod. Last mentioned in Family Guy back in the Oughts. )

Song for today ``There’s gotta be more…’’

I am borrowing this content for a moment. Yes I am aware I have a child’s musical taste http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUOcQnWbk_U&feature=related I used to catch this song,on one of the music channels, a few years ago.  I liked it. Its a nice enough song.  Stacey O, is a sweet young lady. Who tired of the music business and became a volunteer in Africa. I have been listening to it all day today. I downloaded if from Amazon. It catches a moment in adolescence when, you start working, and its mopping floors, or loading books onto barrows. You go to college and its waiting around all day for three hours of lectures, eating instant noodles, and maybe watching Star trek, or the Simpsons  and going to bed. So you go to the club on the weekend. You go to the underwear party. You get drunk, but that’s it isn’t it

Malchera in High school

Will from the in-betweeners, with bad skin, look at the area arround my left eye. I have just had a bout of conjuctiveitis. That and my half smile, to conceal my cracked incisor and dirty teeth... I don't know why I actually possess this picture. School Photographs, now there is racket. They take you out of class, and take your picture, and charge you for the picture. Anyway, my mother never paid for the school photographer. She had 4 children in the same school,  and paying for 4 photographs, would not have been cheap. I do remember the day though. Before me, the busty Kelly Panei, had gone first. The photographer had made a crack about beauty and the beast, so I knocked over his stand on the way out... But for years after, this was my mental image of myself...
