Oh Yeeeah! Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Begins Shooting!

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2A few years ago I had the distinct pleasure and a once in a lifetime opportunity to go to California to see Guardians of the Galaxy and meet and interview the cast. It was such an amazing experience and to this day is the best ever press trip I was on. Meeting Chris Pratt, Dave Bautista, James Gunn, Zoe Saldana, and Vin Diesel was simply amazing. We missed Kevin Feige on this trip but I did get to see him on another trip that I went on for Avengers: Age of Ultron. So, suffice it to say I am bursting with excitement to see this movie. I follow James Gunn on Facebook and he is excellent with his posts. He did an amazing thing with Guardians of the Galaxy and Vol. 2. promises to be even better.

There are some great things happening in this new movie including the addition of Kurt Russell as Star-Lord’s father. I think he is the most perfect casting for this role. I’ve loved him since The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes that I watched on The Wonderful World of Disney. And then his roles as Snake Plissken in Escape from New York and then Jack Burton in Big Trouble in Little China, plus Gabriel Cash in Tango and Cash he was awesome! So he’s gonna crush it as Star-Lord’s dad.I just cannot wait. Below is the press release for the movie. Continue reading Oh Yeeeah! Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Begins Shooting! →

Photo-A-Day #3558

I am a bit late with my Loot Crate review from December. I received my crate right before the Holidays and well, things got a bit backed up. I finally got to explore the crate today and there were some very cool things inside. The crate itself becomes the Bat Cave which is great because the exclusive Funko Pop figure was Joker Batman-Batman. That is what he’s called. It is Batman dressed as The Joker as Batman. You can kinda get stuck in a loop there.

A bunch of other things were included. some good some not that special. The theme was Anniversary because so many properties have Anniversaries this year (ahem… Transformers turned 30, where was their representation). Some of the big ones were Marvel turning 75 and Batman 75 plus The Simpsons are 25 and Tetris is probably around that same age. Ghostbusters are 30 and their item was pretty much the lamest part. Otherwise it was a strong box filled with fun stuff. I loved the piece done about Zen Monkey Studios. That guy is amazing. Check out all the things in the crate. Oh and there were “I Am Groot” socks!
