Previews we saw yesterday before Guardians:

Interstellar:
This looks wonderful! An SF movie about a mission to find a habitable planet for humans to live on. Unfortunately it is directed by Christopher Nolan (man pain expert) and stars Matthew McC. The words "family" and "love" were used a lot in the preview. It will probably have a terrible, white dude story and great special effects.

Big Hero 6:
An animated film. Looks very cute. I look forward to reading meta about the inflatable robot and depictions of fat characters.

Dracula Untold:
Looks boring and gross. Again man pain central. Some medieval dude needs to protect his wife and kid so he becomes a vampire! snooze.

The Hobbit next chapter:
I'm not paying much attention to these tbh.

The Hunger games next chapter:
YAAAAAAY!

Into the Woods:
Has some cool actors and looks neat; the preview was minimal.

Night at the Museum sequel:
Looked cheesy to me and not funny? There was a joke about a monkey peeing on some miniaturized characters, which... I guess if you find that funny, you'll like this film. I never saw the first one. Has Robin Williams in it.

IT WAS. And Amy Adams does the best she can with it, but she doesn't seem to be into it either.

It does, though, give me a better appreciation for Hilary Swank's Amelia. Because while that had it's share of problems, I think it at least "got" Earhart, and conveyed her protofeminist views and importance to young women she inspired, without slipping into any of NatM's nonsense, or going the "modern 2nd wave feminist in period clothes" route. (Swank was also great as Alice Paul in Iron Jawed Angels.)
