Author C. Clark used a raccoon character in his book, "Beyond the Fall Of Night" called Seeker. The one in this movie is a North Eastern Boston / New York accented thug like thing.

Walt Disney and Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy debuted with a powerhouse $94 million opening weekend. That’s the third biggest opening of the year, behind Captain America: The Winter Soldier ($95m) and Transformers: Age of Extinction ($100m).
Since opening weekend is of course about marketing, Walt Disney deserves a gold star in that department. From the get-go, their marketing campaign as been a textbook example of how to sell an unknown property to the masses.
Of course, it helps that James Gunn and company delivered a winning final product, and so Disney screened it early and often and let the review embargo drop right before Comic-Con. And now, since the marketing campaign kept quite a few narrative and visual surprises out of the clips and trailers, it may well reap the benefit of audiences discovering their favorite beats in a theater, which is a major driving force for word-of-mouth and repeat viewings.

I agree about that.
There is one movie out for an adult, but everyone is screaming there isn’t any blacks in it or anything else they can for it’s made by Woody Allen.
Magic in the moonlight.
It’s actually pleasantly enjoyable and the scenes are gorgeous.
Green women are Hot!
It was pretty much the same for me. I tracked down back issues of Avengers, had no knowledge of the story, and was blown away by it. I had known about the Guardians from their appearances in Defenders, which were also good.
What about Karen Gillan as a blue woman? She was trying to suppress her accent which made it even better.
I was lucky to find so many back issue back in 1982 -83 for great , cheap prices. I bought so many Spider Man, FF, etc in Manhattan at Forbidden Planet and other comic shops. At the times X-Men 95 to 135 had gone up in price.
Although I knew she died back in 73, Death of Gwen Stacey was still tough to read.
Meanwhile I was listening Bob Grant, Barry Farber & Howard Stern.
Nice looking ship.
I love Chris Pratt in Parks and Rec, so I’m happy to hear he has a hit movie. He was very good in Zero Dark Thirty, as well.
One documentary, one biopic, three comedies, four dramas, one horror, five fantasies/sci-fi and two children.
At the cheapo, five drama, three fantasies/sci-fi, two horror,three comedy, one children.
It might be the manager at the movie house.
Mr. Peel & I saw it last week. It had been the first time in years since we saw a movie at the cinema. It did not disappoint. The movie was exactly what we were hoping it would be - entertainment. No lectures, no elitists snobbery, no fake political message - just fun with some 80s tunes thrown in.
Exactly!
I saw it Friday and loved it. Will be taking my family to see it as well.
And Iron Man, The Avengers, etc were exactly what I was referring to. Forgettable dribble, all of them.
