Oh look, you guys bumped the thread and I didn't even notice (which is a shame because other people bumping gives me an excuse to keep posting about it!).

...which shouldn't matter, because it doesn't really need to be a competition. They're both great movies and it's good to see them both being smash hits as they deserve. If anything, stuff like Force Awakens is there to prove that box office numbers can be quite meaningless.

Then again Guardians of the Galaxy is hardly a superhero movie (any more than it is a space opera, at least). I mean, sure both movies have their superhero-ish moments (particularly the final battles), but for the most part it does feel very distinct from pretty much everything else in its category.

As for myself, I'm having a really tough time now. It's been 5 weeks since the last time I watched the it (hasn't been in theaters here since), and for a good chunk of those weeks (particularly post-E3) I was handling it just fine... but I don't know what happened, in the last few days I just can't stop thinking about it again, and it's making me feel like shit because well, I can't watch the movie at all.

It's actually having quite a negative impact on other stuff, too. I mean, I think this is the first time a new Marvel movie comes out and I don't even care because I'm still thinking about the previous one (recently, at least - I didn't care much about the MCU before 2014 or so), and even other stuff I end up watching I just can't bring myself to enjoy (as was the case with Okja, a perfectly fine movie I disliked just because I'm not in the mood), and even games have suffered a bit to a lesser degree. I mean, right now I'm not even too hyped about Breath of the Wild (though I am playing it daily because of the DLC) - despite it being my most anticipated game ever, and having delivered on all fronts and stuff, even that's been overshadowed completely.

So yeah, I just kinda wanted to put that out. If it sounds unhealthy, don't worry, I know it is, but at this point I feel like this disease I can't cure.

At least they announced when the Blu-Ray and stuff is coming out... then again it's still about 7 weeks away, so I'm not sure how well I can hold it until then (I'm doing my best to avoid downloading a crappy camera recording, but at this point I'm beginning to doubt I can do it
