[tygerbug]

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 - James Gunn and company stick the landing with a brilliant conclusion to Marvel's only coherent stand-alone trilogy of films. It genuinely feels strange that these are Marvel movies, since from the start they've largely felt like their own thing. Sure, to get caught up on this one you'll have to watch two Avengers movies, a Thor movie and a holiday special, and maybe even the silly animated "What If?" But otherwise, this series is mostly untouched by what's happened to The Avengers, and feels like it could have been a standalone series, like the FOX X-Men films, and the Sony Spider-Man films.

The cameo roles in this series are clearly done as a favor to James Gunn rather than to Marvel. Linda Cardellini has a voice role here, despite already having a role in Marvel films elsewhere, as do Judy Greer and Tara Strong (replacing the absent Miley Cyrus). And it's not hard to imagine some earlier Marvel film having some other role for the sort of actors Gunn casts in small roles, like Nathan Fillion, Ving Rhames, Michelle Yeoh, Peter Serafinowicz, Maria Bakalova, Djimon Hounsou, John C. Reilly, Glenn Close, Benicio Del Toro, Lee Pace, Alexis Denisof, Kevin Bacon, Seth Green, Sylvester Stallone, Don Johnson, and so on. He has a tendency to cast older star actors like Kurt Russell who could have populated a hypothetical 90s MCU, or even David Hasselhoff who actually did.

The Guardians films, outside of their Avengers crossovers, feel like a universe unto themselves. The tone is darker, and more violent, with a focus on comedy. At exactly one point in the film, Chris Pratt's Peter Quill, AKA Starlord, says fuck. At other points in the film, actors say "screw" when they clearly mean "fuck." Lloyd Kaufman turns up in these things. Most of the film is about torturing a raccoon, and it's full of strange creatures and body horror that sometimes seems antithetical to selling Happy Meal toys. The villain, Chukwudi Iwuji, as The High Evolutionary, is nastier than MCU villains tend to be, and there's no attempt to humanize him. Which is, to be clear, great. We like a real villain.

The visual style of the film is also distinctive. No muddy greys and browns here. There's bright colors and high contrast, and lots of interesting design. It is certainly in the running for the best-looking Marvel movie, and avoids the samey visual look of some other Marvel productions.

The cast, as ever, is stacked with actors who could have carried a film like this on their own. It's easy to take this cast for granted, but these are all stars, and the movie knows it. Zoe Saldana, who has almost casually starred in a large percentage of the most succesful movies ever made. Bradley Cooper, as the voice of Rocket, a CGI character who might be the real star here. Pom Klementieff and Dave Bautista, delightful as Mantis and Drax. Karen Gillan as Nebula, bringing a steely terminator's edge to a role far away from what she did in Doctor Who. Vin Diesel as Groot, even. Elizabeth Debicki returning as Ayesha.

Oh, and Chris Pratt as Peter Quill AKA Starlord. When we meet him here, he's been drinking away his sorrows over the loss of Gamora. Pratt is a controversial figure these days, due to his apparent right-wing beliefs, and at first there seems to be something wrong with Peter int his film. His trademark charm is entirely absent, at first, and he's not as funny a character in this as he's been previously. But that charm comes back, as Pratt tries to remind Gamora and the audience why we liked Peter Quill in the first place. He's not as big an asshole as he's been at times, and is almost likeable as he finds a certain peace in himself by the film's end.

Will Poulter turns up as Adam Warlock, a cosmic Marvel hero introduced as a secondary villain here, and manages to do something amusing with the character. As with the Nova Corps in the first film, this is a pretty significant Marvel character that James Gunn is using, apparently for his own purposes rather than due to any connection to the MCU. As with the Howard the Duck cameos, it feels like Gunn is doing his own thing. At one point Starlord appeared in the MCU Avengers animated shows without the personality that Chris Pratt gave him, and it felt very strange. Starlord is a very different character here than he was as a Space Cop in the comics, as are Yondu, Mantis, Groot, and so on.

Indeed these movies have very little to do with the Guardians of the Galaxy comics as they initially launched. The films are instead based, loosely, on the Guardians team that launched in the comics in 2008. That team included Adam Warlock and Phylla-Vell, a version of Captain Marvel who technically appears here as a child. But James Gunn has successfully put his own spin on these characters. Rocket Raccoon would probably have been the most recognizable character for old-timers, along with Adam Warlock, but he was never really a headliner until now. Nor was Groot, who was once an old Jack Kirby monster in the comics, and might as well be a different character now entirely.

Mantis, powerful as a C-tier Avenger in the comics, is a less powerful but more memorable character in these. She and Dave Bautista's Drax are socially awkward in different ways, and always doing something funny or interesting. This film also finds the dignity in these characters and sees a certain tragedy in the way they underestimate one another, suggesting that even though they're a memorable onscreen team, they need to move apart in order to grow as people. These films really care about these characters in a way which isn't cliched, telegraphed or predictable.

There's a sense of history here, that the journey these characters have gone on has meant something, over the course of three films, at least four other Marvel appearances and a holiday special. A photo of Stan Lee turns up, as does the actual Michael Rooker. It does have one thing in common with the Avengers films - an assurance that this is still the Guardians of the Galaxy even with a different lineup of characters, and that some of these characters will return.

It won't be the same, though, will it? It's hard to imagine another blockbuster film letting actors like Pom Klementieff be as memorably eccentric as they are here. This trilogy genuinely feels different and special. It had its own cast of characters, some of whom we saw very little of. (Sylvester Stallone makes only brief appearances, but a long history is implied every time.) It left me wanting more, but I'm glad that we got three solid movies with this cast, and that James Gunn - who was briefly fired due to some trolls on Twitter - got to return and do it right.

The Legend of Rock, Paper, Scissors

Library/Information Skills Lesson Plan

  Subject Area Integrated:

ELAR and Social Studies

  Grade Level:

K-2

  Information & 21st Century Skill Objectives:

II. Include D. Grow 1. Seeking interactions with a range of learners. and

2. Demonstrating interest in other perspectives during learning activities. 

V. Explore C. Share 3. Collaboratively identifying innovative solutions to a challenge or problem. 

  Materials:

The Legend of Rock, Paper, Scissors by Drew Daywalt

  Instructional Procedures: (This is a great story to use during the first month of school). 

Before you start the lesson, have students partnered up. One partner is partner A and the other is partner B. 

Raise your hand if you have ever played rock, paper, scissors? It is a great way to help solve a quick problem, like who gets to go first in a game. 

Start by showing the cover, reading the title, and explaining what a legend is.  A legend is a fiction, or made up, story that tells how something came to be. So, this is not really how rock, paper, scissors started, but it is a very funny and imaginative story! 

Read the story. The beginning is about rock. Ask students to show you rock with their fist. Next is the paper part. Ask students to show you paper with a flat hand. Then comes the scissors part. Ask students to show you their hand scissors. 

When rock and scissors meet in the story, just read the first page. Have partner groups turn and face each other. Tell them partner A is rock and partner B is scissors. Show them the correct way to conduct their battle-rock, paper, scissors, shoot. Once they say shoot, A chooses rock and B chooses scissors. Read the page that says “Rock versus Scissors!” and then tell students to battle. Who wins? Rock! Rock beats scissors!

Next is rock versus paper. This time partner A is paper and partner B is rock (or however you want to do it). Have students battle again! Who wins this time? Paper! Paper beats rock!

 Last is paper versus scissors. Now partner A is scissors and partner B is paper. Have students battle again! Who wins? Scissors! Scissors beats paper! 

Finish reading the story. Tell students we will now have a rock, paper, scissors competition. You will start with your partner. Whoever wins will continue battling. (The idea is to let students practice so all students know how to participate when the time comes. Make sure they are all doing it correctly so no one gets mad or frustrated). 

Round 1-Partner A versus Partner B. Whoever wins stays put, and whoever loses stands up and sits against the wall. Round 2-Students find someone to battle. Winner stays and the loser moves away. Continue until one person wins! 

  Instructional Strategies:

Read-aloud

Modeling

Guided Practice and Partner Practice 

  Assessment:

Librarian will monitor the way students are conducting their rock, paper, scissors battles. Everyone should be doing it the same way-rock, paper, scissors, shoot. Correct students if needed and help them practice doing it the right way.

Ready to be impressed? Well say hello to 30 young stars of the spa and beauty industry and hear the top beauty secrets their obsessed with right now!

      Medical Aesthetician at BodyLase Skin Spa, Kelly Smith says, “I always tell my patients to think about prevention in the AM and correction in the PM. Protect your skin from free radical damage with Vitamin C and from UV light with SPF. At night, use Vitamin A to exfoliate dead skin, soften fine lines and wrinkles and fade pigmentation. Your skin will be its healthiest with high quality skincare products and consistent treatments with your skincare specialist.”

    Master Stylist and Makeup Artist, Shelby Shinault says, “One of my favorite beauty secrets is applying dry shampoo before bed. It helps absorb oil through the night for beautiful hair the next day!” @shell_be_

      Travel Blogger and Beauty Enthusiast, Kamerin Chambers says, “My favorite beauty secret is rinsing my face with ice cold water after a daily and nightly wash. Cold water closes pores and helps with skin elasticity, it’s also very refreshing and gives me a similar jolt like an espresso shot!” @hey_kam @wheresshegoing

      Wax Technician at Waxing The City, Esthetician, and Nail Pro, Courtney Nared says, “Always exfoliate before any waxing service if you’re prone to ingrown hairs. This is a total life saver! And the best way to exfoliate is with a dry brush! It will definitely help you maintain smooth skin after waxing!” @cmoneyhunnie

      Hairstylist at HAIR 360, Lauren Williams says, “My favorite thing to share with my clients is to rinse conditioner with cool water! This will lock in moisture and improve natural shine!”

      Hairstylist, Nail Artist, and Skincare Enthusiast, Taylor Meyers says, “Stay hydrated and exfoliate weekly it will keep skin soft and glowing!”

        Massage Therapist, Kaila Tolleson says, “My secret to living a stress free life is maintaining an active lifestyle that includes stretching and massages. As an athlete, it is so important for me to stretch after workouts and twice a month rejuvenate my muscles with both Swedish and Deep Tissue massages!”

      Makeup Artist and Skincare Specialist, Micheala Redmond says, “My favorite product right now is the Bahi Cosmetics Sunflower Sweets Serum! I use it after cleansing and toning my face. It’s perfect for all skin types and gives me a nice balanced glow!” You must try it!

      Stylist and Makeup Artist, Wenah Malenda says, “For a dramatic eye, use a creamy black eye pencil to rim your eyes and finish off with some mascara!” It’s simple yet beautiful. @_hvnew

        Cosmologist and Nail Technician at The Flowering Almond Spa, Destiny Rich says, “Maintain your cuticles! Cuticles are very delicate, push and trim them gently and apply your choice of oil, like coconut or almond oil. Also, nail strengthening treatments are essential to having healthy strong nails too!!” @destiny2badd

      Esthetician at The Flowering Almond Spa, Alexis Steele says, “Water drinking is literally my best kept secret! Many people don’t realize how much staying hydrated makes a beautiful difference in skin!” @lex_christoph

      Personal Trainer at the YMCA, Tianna Arnold speaks on getting in shape and says, “You don’t have to be great to start, but you do have to start to be great! When you feel like stopping think about why you started!”

        Makeup Artist and Beauty Advisor, Kiera McDaniel says, “Two of my favorite things to do for a great makeup application is to apply loose powder before I apply foundation to keep my skin from getting oily throughout the day. And I also love to spray a setting spray before I apply my highlight so it can be really intense!” @kieranariese for bookings

      Esthetician, Eyelash Specialist, and Massage Therapist, Brooke Martin says, “I use a facial oil serum before my moisturizer every day and I can not live without it!! My skin stays perfectly balanced!” @lashlovebylogan

      Nail Technician at TH Nails, Marah Alegre says, “Thinking positively is my all time favorite beauty secret!” @marahjanee

        Lead Massage Therapist at The Flowering Almond Spa, Danielle Lambert says, “I love taking a 30 minute epsom salt bath and listening to my favorite relaxing music as well as stretching and drinking plenty of water!”

      Personal Trainer, Jay Smith speaks about getting in shape and says, “The most important days are the ones where you don’t feel like doing it…get up and do it anyway!” @lmzlife for sessions and apparel

      Spa Supervisor & Beauty Advisor, Alexandria Grant says, “I love apple cider vinegar and avocado on my skin! They both work wonders especially when I’m having breakouts!” @xo.alexandria.ashleigh

      Esthetician and Aromatherapy Expert, Alison Ramsdell says, “Beauty starts on the inside, many don’t understand that what we eat impacts our skin health greatly, so we should always eat healthy foods for clear skin!” @alisonramsdell

      Massage Therapist, Tyler Underwood speaks on living stress free and says, “No matter how chaotic things get, respond like everything is ok.”

        Spa and Beauty Coordinator, Erin Gdovin says, “I always drink a cup of hot water with lemon! There are so many beauty benefits and it’s detoxifying!”

        Freelance Makeup Artist, Karlie Coverdale says, “For eye shadow I prime the whole lid apply my crease color and then put primer on again so my lid color really pops! And as much as I love wearing makeup, I have a skin ritual that I stick to as well. I am obsessed with rose water and literally cannot wait to put it on. I do it once in the morning and in the evening I spray rose water before using my moisturizer. I love how refreshed my skin looks after using rose water. Another skin routine that I do on the weekends and am obsessed with might sound pretty gross! I mix fresh egg whites and honey, then let it sit for about 20 minutes. So basic but SO worth it! It makes my pores smaller and brightens my face.” @eye_karli for bookings

  Massage Therapist, Erica Little says, “You can’t pour from an empty cup. Make yourself a priority – mind, body, and soul in order to present your best self to the world!”

        Esthetician, Wax Technician, and Makeup Artist, Roxanne Naut says, “Everytime I fly my go to beauty product is my MAC Prep and Prime Fix +! It keeps my face/makeup smooth and fresh!”

      Nutrition Expert, Matthew Smith says, “I enjoy healthy organic foods for a longer healthier life, eating healthy makes such a difference.” @langstonsorganicclub

        Beauty Enthusiast and Freelance Makeup Artist, Emma Blow says, “Many people are scared to use oils on their skin, but oils are so good for you and argan oil happens to be my favorite, it keeps my skin perfectly balanced and glowing!” @emsdelightful

      Health and Wellness Enthusiast, Noah Walker says, “create good habits!” Plain and simple! @only.noahh

        Nail Technician and Natural Nail Specialist, Ebony Taylor says, “always use cuticle oil and exfoliate regularly for healthy nails and cuticles!” @nailsbytaylore for bookings

        Beauty Enthusiast and Freelance Makeup Artist, Bionca Kaufman says, “Brows are so important! I always outline them first with concealer to make it easier to create the perfect shape!” @xxbeexx

      And

Nail Technician and Wellness Enthusiast, Jamie Fox says, “Less is more and simple is beautiful. That’s my all time favorite beauty secret! Somedays all I need is mascara and an emollient lip balm!” @beautician_not_magician

      And that’s 30! We recognize these bright entrepreneurs, innovators, and visionaries for their passion for spa, health, and beauty and for making the world such a beautiful place on person a time!
