I VOTE BURT MACKLIN I THOUGHT I ALREADY HAD NOOOO
Also I was confused because those weren't new stills, but then I remembered that I'd actually bought the magazine >_>

Decided to look up if there might actually be a giveaway for tonight's screening, and one theatre is handing out an exclusive poster. I'm assuming it's this awesome one:
I'm not sure if that's going to be the case for every screening, but fingers crossed.

Tomorrow? I thought it was tonight for everyone.

London screening.
Even with your vote, it would have been a tie.
Anyway, Quick & I will be making more progress on the two threads after the preview screening. I have to go to a New Student Conference tomorrow & the day after, so don't expect much then.

I never got an email. After I logged in and picked a time I just printed a ticket right away. I don't think I got anything after that.
Q: Didn't someone mention that they did these screenings for Cap2 and one of them got turned into a full movie screening? Just adjusting my hype.

For the UK, they're only holding one screening and to get tickets you must enter a competition

Lame : (
I'm surprised about here though. I've often gone off because Denver gets passed over by so many cool shows and tours, but they are 4-5 of these tonight just here in town and I think a few in the metro area.

Tonight is going to make or break it for me. I have been really down about Pratt's dialog as StarLord in all of the trailers. It's either whiny or cliche. I really hope I can just seen a regular scene or two and he speaks like a person.

Me neither :C
Maybe tomorrow morning?
Also I'm watching Star Trek '09 and it's making me need this film even more. We need more big budget space opera films. They are the fucking best. Argh.
I even like John Carter and The Chronicles of Riddick which the internet has led me to believe are terrible! BUT THEY'RE NOT AND I LOVE THEM.

Well at least with GOTG, there no real chance of the movie shitting on the source material.
I really hope I come out of this hyped. I think I have built myself up too much; I've been expecting this to just floor me from the day it was announced.

Haha, yeah I didn't really care about Star Trek before except for Shatner comedy value so I really enjoyed them despite not really being Star Trek. I can see why people would be upset though.

Jealousy flows through me.
Definitely, soon he's going to explain how Star-Lord got out of the Cancerverse.

To all those showing up at the 17 minute preview,
how early did you show up?
Did you get a poster?
what was attendance like?
I ask because I have tickets for later today, and would like to show up on time to have the best experience possible (near front of line, poster and good seat)

I'm in the theater right now for the 17 minute screening. Got a cool little poster. Excited to find out what we're gonna see.

Yeah I bothers me. I hate the phrase Star Trek in name only but damnit, I like my science fiction slow. It's not their fault in '09, the Next Gen movies are really what killed ST for me. Great writing and acting and cool commentary about life and it just becomes really bad action shlock.
But this is not the place for that. I'm going to leave now and grab a beer next door to the theater. I'm sure everyone is going to want to post when they get back.
Should we have a separate thread for this so it's not just 2 pages of black boxes?
Showed up 20 minutes before it starts.
Yes to the poster. It's small.
Plenty of people.

It's ok
We can just laugh at them when they have to wait an extra day to see it

I consider myself fairly jaded, but damn if that preview didn't surpass nearly all my expectations. Great comic performances from the cast, clever and well-choreographed action, surprisingly worthwhile use of 3D, and Rocket/Groot are everything I hoped for. Can't wait for August 1.
...and yes, the extended version of the "it's real" scene from the recent trailers was even better.
