Staring Chris Pratt as Star-Lord, Zoe Saldana as Gamora, Dave Bautista as Drax the Destroyer, and the voices of Vin Diesel and Bradley Cooper as Groot and Rocket Racoon, respectively, Guardians of the Galaxy is the first Marvel Studios film to depict some of the decidedly less iconic characters of the Marvel comic book universe. In an interview with USA Today’s Brian Truitt, Pratt and Guardians director James Gunn shared new images from the film and revealed some details about the characters and the overall nature of the film, which they hope will be a “fresh diversion” for superhero movie fans who’ve been seen the same movie again and again and again.

It’s been nearly a week since Xmas, which means our bags are still packed from our trips home and our lives have yet to return to whatever passes for normal in the blogosphere. Exhausted and succumbing to New Year's anxiety, we’re reflecting feverishly on what went on when we weren’t on duty and had a chance to celebrate the true meaning of the holiday season: receiving awesome gifts.
