> [@DWMarch](#): > > And _Serenity_. For the browncoats you could have had a black screen with just the word Serenity on it and they all still would have flocked to it in droves. But the general public trailer played up the humor in the movie and it bombed. [This doesn’t look particularly comedic.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EcyhneTXiY) No more than any other quippy action movie, at any rate. ---

> [@Miller](#): > > [This doesn’t look particularly comedic.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EcyhneTXiY) No more than any other quippy action movie, at any rate. I’ve been wondering about that throughout this thread. There seems to be a difference between a full-on laugh a minute joke fest and inserting a little hip, snarky humor here and there, a la Whedon. ---

I thought this was funny.

[The latest clip](http://www.uproxx.com/filmdrunk/2014/04/guardians-of-the-galaxy-new-clip-chris-pratt/) I am - no foolin’ - as excited as a Tween at a One Direction concert over this thing. Hell, how did I NOT have ‘Hooked on a Feeling’ in my music collection? Now I do. ---

> [@Alessan](#): > > [Meaty enough?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crIaEzXgqto) Nice! Whether it’s the best movie of the year or not, who cares? It looks like a fun romp across the galaxy, and worth the price of a ticket and some popcorn. ---

> [@Chronos](#): > > OK, I don’t know about that mask he’s wearing, but the rest of it looks great. That mask is bizarre and doesn’t fit his personality. It was added after I quit reading comics, but it is true to the comics. He probably won’t wear it most of the time. ---

If _Hooked On a Feeling_ and _Spirit in the Sky_ are both on the soundtrack, this movie is going to kick ass. ---

Now I can’t watch the trailer because of a copyright claim by Disney. Fuck you Disney. ---

Due to some facebook exclusivity shenanigans, I’m told. Sucks, but some other video sites don’t bother with takedowns. 😉 The trailer was totally worth watching, too. If only for _scratch_ _adjust_ ---

They finally started playing up the Vin Diesel and Bradley Cooper connections. They should have done that sooner. But that’s all good. ---
