Has Guardians of the Galaxy already won August

[Leolead]

I'm looking foward to TMNT more now, still really looking foward to GOTG though.

you've said these exact same words like 15 times..you sound like a broken record.

i bet you'll be there opening night with all the other nerds

i want the answer to this question as well please, why should i be banned because people don't agree with me

bry i couldnt have said it better myself and thats all ive tried to say in the past only to be targeted as a hater..personally right now i am 3 movies behind, Maleficent,Transformers, and Apes...but i really want to see Apes it just looks amazing


i may not even get the chance to see GOTG opening night or weekend so i dont see why people are mad i wont see turtles opening night for reasons ive explained

[Warhorse]

Oh, I still want to see Maleficent, but it looks like that one is going to have to wait for VOD. But I still want to see Apes, and I probably will next weekend. And I want to see Lucy too, GOTG, TMNT so I can have a definitive opinion, Sin City 2, Mockingjay and TABA.

Is this movie even advertising much itself? Maybe I'm just not running across it. Haven't given this film much thought, though thinking about it now I haven't really seen anything for it either.

I've yet to see an actual trailer for TMNT on tv. I've seen them at the movies though. The only time I see anything on TV for the TMNT, it's because it's being sponsored through Pizza Hut. Now out in the real world, I am seeing the Crush colas, (which I now have collected all but the Blue Crush) and I'm seeing posters up at the movie theaters.

Guardians of the Galaxy is the opposite. I'm seeing trailers on TV all of the time now (a new one was just posted with shots of the villain) and as with the TMNT, the posters and trailers at the movies, but unlike TMNT, no sponsorship, except for the few magazines that have Chris Pratt as the cover, and I believe Essence is going to have Zoe Saldana on their cover too. Other than that, no food, automobile, etc.... I guess it would be kind of hard, since the movie is going to be in another galaxy. And the only thing that could have any connections to earth, would have been outdated a long time ago.

Hmmm, does anyone know if there will be any music videos to accompany either movie? Transformers had Linkin Park/Transformers videos, would be nice to see the same with these two movies.

[MajorViolence]

The music video movie tie-in seems to be dying out. I remember when damn near every blockbuster movie had at least one, but now I very rarely see any unless the movie has a prominently placed new song in the soundtrack. Considering the GOTG music isn't new, I think it's extremely unlikely we'll see any from that movie. As for TMNT, the odds are better, but still unlikely.

something about that form of advertisting always bothered me. I didnt mind a band writing a song for a movie, or even using an existing one, but when time for the video came, and they just inserted shots of the movie that made no sense in the music video itself...

...its jarring, and desperately trying to remind you, "hey remember me, im the movie you can hear this song in"; lame.

Now that I think about it, has Marvel done tie ins with theirs? I only remember Dr. Pepper having Avengers images on the cans.

Not advertising, but Guardians has a promotional partnership with Subway. Get a code on your combo drink. Can win free movie tickets, free food, every code at least gets a free digital comic.

Only Will Smith can make a worthwhile movie tie in music video. And they screwed that up with MIB 3.

I STILL let MIB and Nod Your Head play when it comes up on my random playlist and sometimes still get the urge to go watch it on YouTube after. They were just silly and fun.

I think they mean they aren't seeing those advertised so much, but yes, that's what I was referring to!

Hey, I don't watch TV 24/7 like some people do, and I don't go to Subway. Last time I went, I saw a cockroach crawling on the lettuce.

[Powder]

If a person were handicapped & could do little more than watch tv 24/7, are they a loser? What if their job is to review cable programming? Might wanna ease up on being so quick to call people idiots & losers just because you share different opinions & habits.

So, I see, it's OK for Cure to claim I am saying something dumb, when if I haven't seen any ads or commercials, I just haven't seen any ads or commercial, it has nothing to do with intelligence, more to do with luck of the draw. And I didn't call anyone an idiot. Be careful with putting words into my posts there pal!

But, you're right, I'll just do what you like to do, report hostile posts!

[Cure]

You can do research before saying things with certainty. Not doing so is dumb.

...man, do I not get where these criticisms are coming from at all.



I find this kind of funny, considering the heavily-filtered, artificially-contrasty style that the TMNT movie has. I'd argue GotG has a better and more appealing colour palette between the two - it looks good, it looks fun, but it also looks "natural", if that makes sense? I find the overall style of BayTurtles pretty obnoxious by comparison.

But that's a matter of personal taste, so... y'know.

Considering the turtles' personalities in this movie are in line with most past versions then you're saying the turtles from 1987 to now are obnoxious. I guess your personal taste is generic sci-fi movies that may or may not have connections to the larger Marvel universe. But you know your taste stinks.

This looks better than Guardians https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfoPfF2u1to

What? I was talking about the visual style of the movie, not the characters' personalities. It's... pretty clear that's what I was saying.

But hey, way to be a jerk about it for no reason!

Actually, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna take a break from this place for a while. The non-stop hostility, bickering and insults are really getting out of hand, and it's starting to make me feel a bit crummy about the fandom as a whole. And I really don't want that to happen.
