We already have The Collector in the movie..having another Elder would be cool. Maybe Fillion could be The Grandmaster pulling all the strings behind the scenes?
I'm sure you all have seen the Twitter post about Wonder Woman and a Raccoon with a Machine gun? Now you can add "Telekinetic Dog with a Russian accent" to the list.

How many people signing up will think its the full movie?
Sidebar: WHY only a 17 minute preview? I recall 2 decades ago getting to see a preview of an upcoming movie. I saw two full movies for a little more then the cost of 1 ticket (Rudy & Cool Running).
I'm also wondering why the studio is doing this. Even though I'm not interested in the movie, I'd be VERY surprised if it was bad. Is this a sign Marvel Studios is concerned GotG won't find the widespread audience its prior movies had?

This does seem a bit unusual, although I recall people attending Mission Impossible III in Imax and getting to watch the 6-minute Batman: Dark Knight Rises prologue and I think they did it for Dark Knight's bank robbery scene, so it isn't completely out of left field. Of course, this appears to be merely the 17 minutes as a feature by itself and nothing more. This is also not entirely outlandish since some of Imax's earliest offerings (usually in tourist towns) clocked in around the half-hour mark in length. Short films and features aren't that unheard of when it comes to Imax.
What does it say about why the studio is doing this? I for one am bored of the whole “special release party for the teaser of the full trailer!" trend, but this is just saavy marketing designed to help the eager super fans spread the word. I think I can resist the urge to be teased for 17 minutes and wait for the full film to be released.
I don't think Marvel are concerned but rather quite the opposite. In fact a bad showing can lead to negative reactions(Bane's voice) and bad word of mouth...and costly last minute editing. Unless they are very confident in what they have to offer I doubt they'd be doing this.

I'm fine with 10cc. The deal breaker for me is the Pina Colada song. That's a very strong contender for my least favorite song of all time. I was all excited when we finally got an oldies radio station here (after not having one for going on a decade), until I realized it meant they were going to play that over and over. Seriously, I hear it on the way to work, hear it on the way back, almost every day I tune in.

No argument about "Escape".
It's the Gold Standard of Godawful.
The epitome of the kind of shallow, craptastic, irredeemable pop that makes my skin crawl to this day.

Yeah, I almost wish I could come up with a less cliched, more unique choice of least favorite song, but everything about it is so dreadful.
The lyrics used to be the most annoying part, but hearing it again recently, now the thing that gets me is when the guitar solo kicks in each time. It's about as tame as a solo can be, but I get this sense that everyone involved was smoking so much weed that to them, it sounded like they were rocking out as much as they possibly could. Kind of like when I see SNL reruns of James Taylor engaging in a "blues jam" that has all the grittiness of my dad drinking too much and singing at a wedding.
Every decade seems silly in hindsight, but the '70s have this particular obliviousness to their lameness that makes then fascinating.

Won't be buying that after all.
Well, so much for that. Now going with 10Cc and "I’m Not in Love."
10cc was not one of those things.
