I think we can all agree that the 17 minute IMAX 3D preview of Guardians of the Galaxy is the worst thing that's ever been unleashed on humanity. - Mop (210 lbs) Jun 27, 11:29 3

  - Revolution never come with a warnin, revolution never sends you an omen -- nm - con_carne Jun 27, 11:35
Why would I want to watch 17 minutes of a movie? All that does is spoil me on key parts of it. - David Jun 27, 11:22 12
- It is awful that they are borrowing from DC, but pretty sure what was done with Dark Knight caused this. -- nm - Spawnaldo Jun 27, 11:23 9
  - That was a modular opening sequence that lifted out as a short film. This move is illogical. -- nm - David Jun 27, 11:24 8
    - Yeah that bank heist was stellar. I can't imagine how this could even compare. -- nm - Qale Jun 27, 11:37 1
      - They did the same with the Rise opening. - Spawnaldo Jun 27, 11:39
    - (that we saw in front of another movie, not as a standalone). -- nm - Kim Pine Jun 27, 11:35 1
      - see, *that* would be the way to do this. advertise that it will screen in front of .... something, at select theatres on that day. -- nm - Andie Jun 27, 11:54
    - Well, we have no idea exactly *what* the 17 minutes will be so for now will pass on that part of the judgement. -- nm - Spawnaldo Jun 27, 11:26 3
      - In all honesty, I expect they want to show as many people as possible that yes, this movie fits into the Marvel program and want WOM. -- nm - Spawnaldo Jun 27, 11:27 1
        
        This move will alienate many more people than it pleases. It does, however, provide free advertising. -- nm - David Jun 27, 11:38
      - Same trailer scenes shot from 4th and 5th camera angles. -- nm - Max Jun 27, 11:27
- Nothing about this move makes sense. -- nm - Tyego97 Jun 27, 11:23
- Yup. It's spoilers and a big tease, I'll pass. -- nm - Krustuardo Jun 27, 11:22

- I want a Dallas leg! so many good shows coming to town. But I may be in KC within a few months as well -- nm - Pippé Jun 27, 11:32
- Just let me know when you're going to be in town. - spamlet Jun 27, 11:21
I was coming here to vent about the horribly binary nature of those political questions but... - David Jun 27, 11:17 5
- Next Generation Left. -- nm - spamlet Jun 27, 11:37
- It didn't even ask if, for the record, you were a dingo! - prayformojo Jun 27, 11:24
- I agree in disliking the questions, but not sure that makes the questionnaire terrible. - Tyego97 Jun 27, 11:18 2
  - It's a lazy design. The world is a more interesting place than that. -- nm - David Jun 27, 11:19 1
    - I don't know enough about survey design to call it lazy. I expect they wanted to force hard choices. -- nm - Tyego97 Jun 27, 11:22

    - So, you're saying to start there? -- nm - Hunta Jun 27, 11:18 1
      - I would, yes. Generally start off in the one of the troublesome spots: Greenland, Iceland, Madagascar, Papa New Guinea, -- nm - Inigo Jun 27, 11:53
    - Angola is impervious to fungus apparently. I can get all of Africa except for that. -- nm - Mel Premio Jun 27, 10:58 3

- It's up there with the shrim video. -- nm - Wawa Jun 27, 11:14

here is more on it...Guardians -- (link) - Remlik Jun 27, 10:46 12
- "Your ticket has been cancelled." -- nm - Spawnaldo Jun 27, 11:03
- Since we are talking about this movie, can someone remind me again why this is supposedly going to be big? - Tyego97 Jun 27, 10:48 9
  - You've been on HSX, you should know: "going to be big" and "fan boys talking about it" DO NOT EVEN LIVE ON THE SAME CONTINENT! -- nm - con_carne Jun 27, 10:55
  - "It's just so crazy it might work" mentality. It should be an August movie though. -- nm - Max Jun 27, 10:53 3
    - It is. - Kim Pine Jun 27, 10:57 2
      - kind of oops, I thought it was next week already. But yeah, I think it's a perfect August movie, because that's the time I want to see - Max Jun 27, 10:59 1
        
        Agreed. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 27, 11:03
  - Coming out of the Marvel Sandbox this is risk for them, very unknown characters.... - Remlik Jun 27, 10:53
  - I don't see how it will be. - Kim Pine Jun 27, 10:50 1
    - *nods* -- nm - zork Jun 27, 10:51
  - Marvel. Avengers BO. Cap 2 BO and opening -- nm - Beaker Jun 27, 10:49
- Ugh. So lame. -- nm - Inigo Jun 27, 10:47
Ramadan a dilemma for some World Cup players -- (link) - Tyego97 Jun 27, 10:46 1

I'd have to then buy tickets to something else when my wife found out that it wasn't a whole movie. -- nm - zork Jun 27, 10:44 2
- yeah, see, then it could make sense - if you were seeing something else at 7:45 or something. -- nm - Andie Jun 27, 10:45 1
  - even then, if you had to get there early to register and also change theatres in between, it would feel like too much bother. -- nm - zork Jun 27, 10:47
One Wall Street airline analyst thinks United should close their Washington Dulles hub -- (link) - Tyego97 Jun 27, 10:43 12
- I saw United's Newark and San Francisco terminals on my way back home. They're gorgeous. Never seen either of them before. - Mop (210 lbs) Jun 27, 11:00 2
  - You should visit Dulles - Tyego97 Jun 27, 11:02 1
    - Brooks Brothers! -- nm - Mop (210 lbs) Jun 27, 11:04
- He makes some good points. If it's mainly there for international traffic, Newark could do a lot better. -- nm - droidlet Jun 27, 10:47 8
  - Newark is slot constrained and already plagued by delays. - Tyego97 Jun 27, 10:51 7
    - You have good points as well. -- nm - droidlet Jun 27, 10:52 6
      - That said, I'm sure they can tweak Dulles to serve as (mainly) a local O&D airport with just the connection they need to sustain the profitable routes - Tyego97 Jun 27, 10:56 5
        
        United is just a poorly run airline (and saying that as a Chicago kid when they were on top) - droidlet Jun 27, 11:03 4
        
        Yes, I fully agree with the analyst that UA has problems (lots of them) that need to be addressed. - Tyego97 Jun 27, 11:05 3
        
        Also (no one cares but) I hate that they kept the stupid CO globe on the tail. - Tyego97 Jun 27, 11:06 2
        
        Had to keep something of the CO branding. I'm really glad they kept the new AA livery though. - spamlet Jun 27, 11:23 1
        
        The new AA livery has been so divisive. - Tyego97 Jun 27, 11:31
It would cost me 20 bucks to cab to Navy Pier to watch 17 minutes???? - groiny Jun 27, 10:41 13
- If it were at my normal theater, I would go and watch a movie afterwards. The location here is about an hour drive from my house. -- nm - Spawnaldo Jun 27, 11:04
- Oh, eff that. - Kim Pine Jun 27, 10:46
- fwiw, you do get the poster -- nm - Budicio Jun 27, 10:43 2
  - but it's not worth - zork Jun 27, 10:46
  - you should probably go into hiding. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 27, 10:44
- Never pay a dollar to go to Navy Pier. Ever. -- nm - Tyego97 Jun 27, 10:41 7
  - well, that is where the theater is, and I would not walk there. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 27, 10:42 6
    - I'm still bitter about the extreme letdown that Navy Pier was. - Tyego97 Jun 27, 10:44 5
      - you were expecting hot sailors? -- nm - zork Jun 27, 10:45 1
        
        its says NAVY right in the title! -- nm - Pippé Jun 27, 11:51
      - (P.S. I'm sure there is a bus that can get you there) -- nm - Tyego97 Jun 27, 10:44 2
        
        I have not ridden a bus here since high school. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 27, 10:44 1
        
        I just saved you $18.00. You're welcome! -- nm - Tyego97 Jun 27, 10:47
That is not the dumbest thing I've ever heard, but nonetheless - procrastination pays off once again. :-) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 27, 10:40 2
- Someone showing up to see GotG for free is going to spread a ton of bad WOM when they realize it's just an extended preview. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 27, 10:40 1
  - Yeah, not the dumbest thing ever (Paris Hilton still exists and speak aloud) but it's rather dumb. -- nm - Tyego97 Jun 27, 10:41
