They really doubled down on the score’s occasional nods to John Williams’ OT scores here. Parts of it seemed to be lifted whole from ANH when Luke and the rest are trying to make their way back to the Falcon to escape the Death Star.

...and a clause in Sinatra’s contract required the producers to ask Frank if he wanted to star in any sequel and let him say yes or no before they could offer it to anyone else.

It was the scene when Ego’s flower-bomb-thingy went off that was planted behind the Dairy Queen.  They were in the car that was about to get hit by it just as it stopped doing whatever it was doing. (I don’t remember Guardians 2 that well.)

They were still alive in Guardians 2 which was set in 2014. Endgame was only 9 years later, or 4 years if either of them got snapped. Not so unlikely that they would still be around. It’s a moot point since it probably won’t happen anyway, but it’s fun to imagine.

Endgame gives the impression that they headed right back into space (with Thor tagging along) as soon as the dusted remains of Thanos had settled. I’m betting that’s what happens, but I would love a scene where Quill takes advantage of being back on Earth to go see his grandparents.  For all they know, he disappeared…

I get it!   ‘Winning Hand.  Card Counter’!!!   Somewhere Gene Shalit is reading this and regretting his retirement.

And then he made a movie with all the Unbreakableworld characters…..and it sucked!!!! TWIST!!!!

“And he disrepected the Wu-Tang Clan.” should be carved on his headstone.

I was going to make a joke about the rules requiring everyone to quit and walk away from the game at a random point without knowing who wins or loses, but then I realized that’s how most games of Monopoly end anyway.

Didn’t like five guys steal the Enterprise? And McCoy was pretty worthless on that trip, so call it four.

When the X-Wings dropped out of hyperspace over Scariff, I instantly became 10 years old again. I was grinning like an idiot.

Is Anthony Hopkins available? And maybe Alec Baldwin could play his frenemy who may or may not be trying to kill him to hook up with his supermodel wife?  

I’ll sum up the article to make it easy for everyone:

How did he lose that gig?

I’m just the opposite. Love the bootleg cut. I saw the movie once at the theater and then once on dvd before buying the bootleg version, more to get the CD of Stillwater songs than anything else. Haven’t watched the theatrical cut since. At this point, I can barely remember what the alterations are.

Fuck Abrams and Arndt for all eternity for not putting Han, Luke, and Leia on-screen together at least one more time before killing off Han to be ‘edgy’.

ANY movie can be helped by comparing it to Mission to Mars.

If you randomly cut out 2 hours of that behind the scenes footage of Red Planet and spliced it all together you would still have a better movie than Red Planet.

Upvoted despite the lack of a link because I know a 30 Rock reference when I see one.  

I was just coming to post this very clip. The movie itself is crap, but that intro may the best thing GI Joe ever did, at least in animation.     If that doesn’t make you want to go punch some hippies, I don’t know what will.
