don't be dull, be fannish

This is a really sweet movie but it's not my Marvel favorite, that honor belongs to Captain America: Winter Soldier. I love the characters in this, especially Star-Lord, Rocket and Groot, I'm intrigued by Star-Lord's origins - and I hope that in one of the future movies, he finds his way home and meets his grandfather! - and fascinated by Rocket and Groot's friendship - I would love to know how they met! - but the movie as a whole, though well made, doesn't get my heard pumping with thrill and excitement. There are scenes that make me LOL like a nut - mostly because of Rocket and Groot's antics - but I think overall it lacks the tight action of CA:WS. Best part? Dancing Baby Groot, hands down! \o/

♦ So apparently, Jeremy Renner's Aaron Cross Bourne movie is still in the works: link. Which is great because I loved it, Aaron and Martha are my Bourne Universe OTP.

♦ And speaking of Bourne, Julia Stiles' Nicky Parsons will be back for the next one with Matt Damon: link.

♦ Vin Diesel's Kojak remake is also definitely happening, it was picked up by Universal: link. I'm really curious about his take on the character.

♦ Shalita Grant and Daryl Mitchell, aka Sonja and Patton, were officially upped to regulars on NCIS:NOLA. I like both characters but I'm a bit worried about the expanding cast. I liked that this cast was small, so everyone had more time on-screen.

♦ And Russell Tovey was cast in The Night Manager, which already features Tom Hiddleston and Hugh Laurie: link.
