Two weeks ago I sat in a theater at the Walt Disney Studios and was barely keeping my excitement contained. I was about to see the new Marvel Movie, Guardians of the Galaxy (Being officially released today August 1, 2014) at the very first screening for the Press. I felt like I did as a kid when I was about to see Back to the Future in the theater for the very first time. I knew that adventure, excitement and laughter was ahead. I was eleven years old again in what has always been, in my mind the best year ever, 1985. I still cling to the things I loved from my childhood in the 80s, the toys, the movies (and movie references) and the music.
When I had first heard that a Guardians of the Galaxy movie was being made I looked into just who these Guardians were. Then on an episode of Marvel’s Ultimate Spider-Man the Guardians showed up to work with Spider-Man and it completely clicked for me. I got it, I got who these characters were and I wanted to know more. I read a ton of comic books about the characters. I also read wikis and scoured the internet for the latest news on the movie. I also posted a ton of news and videos and more about the movie. My excitement level for this movie has been very high for a very long time. I was not disappointed.
