Obligatory Iron Man Squee Post

[ladymirth]

I forgot to tell y'all. I went to see Iron Man yesterday, right after the entire rest of the world, but whatever. Yep, pretty much what you guys said. 

Subtle political messages: Exellent! Training exercises FTW!

Rhodes and Stark: Aww. Air plane strip club for two ROTFLMAO!

Pepper: I know that was Paltrow, y'all, but bejesus if she didn't look like Kirsten Dunst in another ten years. I likey. An unconventional heroine. Hope she ends up with Stark, despite the whole Wendy-to-Peter-Pan complex they've got going there. Of course, there's already a fandom, a Tony/ Pepper ship which is called - *drumroll* - PEPPERONY! What else would it be called, seriously?

Stane: The villain is always the white bald guy with the white beard. Baldie = BADASS! Samuel L. Jackson to testify!

J.A.R.V.I.S: Is the secret love child of Alfred and K.I.T. Yeah!

Iron Man suit: AWESOME. Birdman and the Silver Hawks are kinda pissed off about it though. Patent infringement and all that.

Robert Downey Jr: Let me quote Marc Fennell of Triple J radio station : "There were two perfectly good movies in Iron Man. The first is the superhero flick... But then there's the other movie: made entirely out of Robert Downey Jr. being awesome". 

WORD, my friend, WORD. Ladies and Gentlemen, the new Johnny Depp! He even has the moustache and the penchant for lawless living and debauchery to prove it.

Verdict: Wheee! What a ride! Wanna go agin, wanna go agin, wanna go agin!

You know Stane is a villain from the comics, right? And that Iron Man comics predate Silver Hawks, and quite possibly Birdman.

But... Holy crap. There's someone else in the world who knows/remembers Silver Hawks? Wow. I used to love that show, back when I was a kid, too young to notice the entirely formulaic nature of the eps. (Though old enough to recognize that it used the same voice cast as the exponentially awesomer Thundercats, which occupied the previous timeslot.)

BTW, in the comics, Jarvis is an Alfred-like, perfectly human butler.

Also, KITT is spelled with two Ts. Knight Industries Two Thousand.

Another bit of random trivia... There's a scene where Rhodey is on the phone, and they zoom in on him and you can see his hand... That's an MIT class ring he's wearing. Couldn't see what year (it's redesigned every year by a committee from the class that's going to wear it), but the details I saw were right. That was a quiet little squee! moment for me.

Anyway, yeah... awesome movie. :)

It's a great movie! I saw it at a drive-in (we have one of the last within forty minutes of our apartment) paired with Speed Racer.

The voice of Jarvis was the actor who played the Doctor in "Master and Commander" - which explains why I found his voice so sexy.

Speed Racer sucks - the story falls flat, the special effects during the one race sequence will cause seizures and the actor who plays Speed couldn't be more wooden than if he was Hayden Christiansen.

And I get to see it again! Friday the drive-in is putting it as the second film with Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull! Two great films for seven dollars US and we get to bring in our own popcorn and drinks!

RDJ rocks! OMG - sizzling hot (even with weird chest thingy)! Iron Man was good too, but I went strictly for the RDJ action...
