There's so much action, adventure and hilarity in Marvel's latest film "Guardians of the Galaxy" that its two-hour run time just flies by, doesn't it? Luckily we have the Internet to give us a closer look at some of the details we may have missed while watching the movie, namely Peter Quill's ship, the Milano.
Since "Guardians of the Galaxy" opened on Aug. 1, the actor who plays Quill, Chris Pratt, has basically taken over the Internet and our hearts. Okay, we admit it. He's been on our minds since we heard he would be starring as Quill, also known as Star-Lord, in "Guardians of the Galaxy." And now Pratt stars in another video poised to go viral in which he gives an "MTV Cribs"-style tour of his ship in the film.
In the short video, we get to know basically everything about a fictional ship whose name was inspired by Pratt's childhood crush, actress Alyssa Milano. The Milano was designed with a "retro in space" style in mind, which is very fitting, considering the movie has a sort of goofy 1960s sci-fi feel to it. The ship's common area looks like every teenage/college-aged/bachelor-aged man's bedroom, covered in old food wrappers and generally unkempt. Pratt shows off the ship's touch screen, and to operate it in the film, he did some serious method acting, pretending that he was looking at his very own Twitter feed as he maneuvered the controls.
Pratt also shows us "where the magic happens," which is apparently in a very small bunk bed with an old-school tape deck and a little orange-haired troll as decoration. It's not as glamorous as Shaquille O'Neal's Superman bed from his 2006 "MTV Cribs" episode, but when you're fighting to protect the galaxy, sometimes you have to make do.
With the massive success of "Guardians of the Galaxy," earning more than $160 million worldwide in its opening weekend and already confirmed for a sequel, perhaps Quill can upgrade his ship in the meantime? The Milano is just begging to be on "Pimp My Ride."
