Iron Man

I haven't seen it.
But first: Never EVER trust Rotten Tomatoes about anything. It's basically a trailer reviewing site. 90% of voters probably haven't seen the movie.
Apparently, it's the best super-hero film made ever, and I don't doubt it.

Fun fact: RDJ will appear in the new Hulk movie as Tony Stark!

i thought it was superbadass.

edit: and most all marvel characters are gonna be making appearances in the upcoming marvel movies. they're building a world around these movies for one bigass movie.

edit on an edit: i liked the movie so much that i shaved my goatee to look like tony stark's.

Fun Facts/rumours:
Thor will make an appearance in Iron Man 2
This will lead into a Thor Movie
Simon Pegg and Alan Tudyk will star in Ant Man. This will be more of a comedy.
Then a Captain America film.
All characters are then said to appear together in an Avengers film.
Sam Jackson will appear in all films as Nick Fury; he's already appeared in Iron Man and will appear in the Incredible Hulk.

Personally, if the Ant Man movie is going to star those two (I think Simon Pegg will be Hank Pym and Alan Tudyk will be Scott Lang) it will be really cool. And funny.

I thought it was pretty good.

I watched a decent version on the firefox movie site – the film was overall far more decent than I anticipated, but the film cut off immediately before the credits so I missed the Sammy cameo. Was it anything important, or just a bit of prep for the sequel?

I loved this movie. Iron Man is my favorite superhero, and I think they pulled it off super good. Robert Downey Jr. was fantastic.

Fuck yes on Sam Jackson being Fury. There could be no other one.

My one gripe is that events seemed to unfold too quickly after the first half of the movie.

I totally agree with that. But it's not enough to make me dislike the movie much

Now what really sucks is that they're looking at Triple H to play Thor.

Triple H? Is that a rapper name or does he simply have 3 names beginning with H?

Stop trying to pretend you don't know who Hunter Hearst Helmsley is

At first I thought you were just making a bad joke.

Then I went to Wikipedia… I'd rather he really was a rapper.

He such an evil looking guy.

I very like this movie!
Bad luck though, I must hear poor voice-on of actors!

HAHAHA! yeah, i could see how you'd think david was me. 😀

rofl.

saw it first weekend and loved it, Iron man has always been my favorite, hope the avengers movie is written by mark millar (ultimates, civil war)

I hate to tell you this, but it's very unlikely that you'll get the writer of the book to write for the screen. If it were to happen, Bendis would be all over Marvel movies.

eh, millar supposedly already has a full screenplay for "Kick-Ass" Done

triple H cant act for shit though

What I meant was books from the Big Two.

This movie was fucking awesome, I'm excited for the movie with all the superheroes. They better make it good though.

I have a DVD rip in MP4…mat if anyone wants it

I enjoyed it.

This raises an interesting question: who do you think they'll get to direct?

I'm thinking whoever directed the most successful of the lead-in movies.

favereau (Iron Man) was saying he was interested… even before iron man came out

favreau is a comicbook nerd. he's so dedicated that he lost weight to be able to play happy hogan.

i hope he gets the avengers directing gig.

Yeah, he must be… he was Foggy in the DD movie.

[quote1223431676=Desensitized]
Favreau is the example of someone who SHOULD be directing these movies.

Now if only we could get someone similar for video game adaptions.
[/quote1223431676]

i'll try to work on that.

/games adapted from movies generally suck rather less games adapted from movies adapted from comics

Spider-man 2 wasn't too bad.

The Ghostbusters game that is coming out looks awesome.

looks okay… at best
there's already been a ghost busters game…. it's called Luigi's mansion….

and a game with bill murry in it? really?!?! what do you do? make a few good films then get old and have no career?

I'm sorry, when did he get old? Will it be right after he stops appearing in Wes Anderson films?

He hardly doesn't have a career; if anything, he's the most successful and recognized Ghostbuster.

being the most sucessful ghostbuster is like being the tallest of the seven dwarves

look, I don't have any problem with murry, he made some great films before I was born……. I just think this new game might be a little late to the… well, game

This isn't about Bill Murray anymore, it's about Wes Anderson. You've never seen any of those movies, have you?

I don't care, Bill Murray rules. Except for that whole Cubs fan thing.

oh man… caddyshack, meatballs, lost in translation, life aquatic, roayl tannenbaums, rushmore, ed wood, groundhog day, stripes? come on man, bill murray goes WAY past ghostbusters into something a lot larger. and if you think he's not funny, just google snl's "presidential debate update" that aired last night(thursday). he's still one of the funniest men alive and it will be a sad day when he passes, right up there with mr. rogers and johnny cash.

He's looking mighty old.

And I hope McCain wins the election, if only to continue having Darrell Hammond doing impersonations

Although I haven't seen most of those films, how can you use Lost In Translation as a defense? That film made me feel like I'd wasted my time despite the fact that I was on a plane at the time with nothing else to do anyway…

that's obvious.

i've heard life aquatic was good….

but the only other film off your list i've heard of is caddyshack…. which is about golf…. great

….i'm not saying he wasn't funny or isn't or whatever…. just saying… he hasn't made a truly good film sincs ghost busters which is REALLY old

Happy Gilmore is about golf.

So go watch Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums and The Life Aquatic.

[quote1223753812=The Wind]
The Life Aquatic.
[/quote1223753812]

this movie sucked.

airplanes are cooler than golf in every way….

my school has a golf team….. lame

[quote1223766635=Desensitized]
I think Bryce confused "Bill Murray" with "Chevy Chase".

Now there's someone who hasn't done anything worth a crap since before you were born.
