guardians of the galaxy

Marvel's surprise hit Guardians of the Galaxy keeps on surprising over a year after it's release. The father of a young boy who suffers dyspraxia posted this on director, James Gunn's Facebook:

Hi James…This is in response to your recent post about Guardians being released a year ago and the effect it has had on my son. My son is four years old and has a condition known as dyspraxia, which not only interferes with motor skills but speech as well. When Guardians came out Sawyer could only say about three words and would communicate to his mother and I by other means. When he saw Groot, something clicked inside him and he connected with him on a level I haven’t seen. He began to mimic him and he would use the word “Bah” for a lot, but after he saw the film, he would change the tone in which he said it to convey a different meaning. He would also start saying Groot for many things as well. Since that, he was finally able to go to a speech class and it has helped amazingly. I just wanted to thank you though, for a script and movie that was written so well that a four year old, three at that time, could connect with someone who had the same language barrier.

During a Facebook livestream Vin Diesel went ahead and spilt the beans on what we can expect regarding Guardians of the Galaxy v Avengers for upcoming film, Infinity War:

"Next year you've got 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2' coming and that whole concept started from you all saying 'when are you gonna be in a Marvel movie?'" he recalled. "And you remember the first picture after that Marvel meeting that I had where I was standing [with] the Avengers thing in the back -- some of you can look up that picture…there was this old Avengers copy that was behind me in that picture if you look back on my Facebook page you can find that."

"What's gonna be surreal is that picture is going to come to pass because now the Guardians will be included in 'Avengers: Infinity War' and that's incredibly exciting. Incredibly exciting. Incredibly exciting and something that if you were a part of our page you knew before everybody," he added.

I'm Hooked on a Feeling!

Most celebrities take props and costumes from the sets of their movies as mementos, not Chris Pratt. This Guardian of the Galaxy took his full Star-Lord costume just so he could wear it to children's hospitals. This week he stopped by Children's Hospital Los Angeles to let the kids try on the jacket and talk superheroes.

He even got to sit with Dylan Prunty and talk all about The Lego Movie. Chris Pratt is Guarding the Galaxy one child at a time.

The team is definitely going crazy on some sort of twisted giant space squid monster here. The picture is a bit reminscent of the 'Old God's' from the Cancerverse -- an alternate reality with its first appearance in the Marvel Cosmic corner of comic book universe:



All I know for sure here, is you've gotta love Baby Groot!

Oh, and this happened....so that's pretty chill:

From the folks who brought you The Humper Games, The Knobbit, and Game of Bones, comes the adult parody you never knew you wanted: Gnardians of the Galaxy. Featuring Rocket Raccooch and Groin, the intergalactic sex brigade will hit an internet near you on April 3rd. I wonder what Rocket thinks of the new Raccooch...
