Ephemeral thoughts on a delightful and silly movie

Guardians of the Galaxy
Baby, you had me at Redbone.
It's a tossed-off snip of dialogue, but I really appreciated being told that the city was evacuated before the Tholian Web defense failed and a huge spaceship plowed into downtown.
     I'd've felt better if the folks standing around to see the final face-off were not obviously shocked civilians who should have been long gone, but hey, I'll take a few misplaced passers-by over slaughtered faceless millions any day.
          Next time, slap some Civil Defense helmets on those yahoos and pretend they're just poorly trained volunteers.
The spaceship looked like an evil twist of licorice.
I may not be able to stop from making a mixtape.  It's like a fever dream.

Donna Summer - Macarthur Park (live 1978)
I was iffy on this one, but the laser-gun fire sound effects are totally in theme.

Patti Labelle - Family (love on Soul Train)

Earth, Wind & Fire - Shining Star

Stevie Wonder - You Are the Sunshine of My Life

I'll stop now.  Maybe.
