Nice pic
Is he alive or dead? by BannedOnTheRun	Apr 27th, 2007 06:30:15 AM
Has he thoughts within his head?
I anticipate... by connor187	Apr 27th, 2007 06:31:30 AM
The Dark Knight more though I have to say.
I was just looking at this in Empire this morning by Franklin T Marmoset	Apr 27th, 2007 06:32:40 AM
It looks good. I don't understand how the device works (does he have to cut holes in all his vests so it can poke out like that? Or is it built into the vest itself?) but it looks cool and all. I have high hopes for this one, vest-related issues aside.
I gotta agree by just pillow talk	Apr 27th, 2007 06:32:49 AM
that looks like Tony Stark/Iron Man to me! I must say they seem to be handling what they show to the public the correct way, building interest. I am getting pretty damn psyched for this movie. I guess the only negative from fans has been the casting of Gwyneth...
apparently he's a comic book geek too by just pillow talk	Apr 27th, 2007 06:34:45 AM
He's Tony Stark. I am a believer now.
Mehxcellent by PotSmokinAlien	Apr 27th, 2007 06:34:55 AM
finally, the twitchy, semi-unhinged superhero who is just... this... close to breaking into merry hysterics at any given moment, that we have all been clamoring for
Missles??? by BetaSword	Apr 27th, 2007 06:36:06 AM
They said, that the Armor will shoot missles on the Site, AICN linked too. doesn't he have his Laser-Weapons?
Favreau is ... by Freefinger	Apr 27th, 2007 06:36:11 AM
... right on the money for choosing Downey for this role. I'm happy to see the movie went to him and not a Burton or Singer or another two time prick who does not respect the character and demolishes everything that has been established that made the hero. I think Favreau will respect the major aspects of Strak/Iron Man and just make it reflect these times. The chest thingy proves that he kept the essential reason why Stark became Iron Man and now we'll just have to wait and see for the rest of the movie. Me like too.
... by mr ahole ramirez	Apr 27th, 2007 06:36:30 AM
....that shirt is so 1998, I mean come on, doesnt Tony Stark have any fashion sense?...but I believe Gap will have a new "Iron Men chest thing tank tops" in stores when Iron Man comes out...
i hope hes taller then tom cruise. by dr.bulber	Apr 27th, 2007 06:39:55 AM
then again, who isnt taller then tom cruise.
His heart is in the wrong place by Mr_X	Apr 27th, 2007 06:43:18 AM
no really. its not in the center of his chest.
about the chest device by kgerm	Apr 27th, 2007 06:43:24 AM
the device is holding the shrapnel in place to keep it from killing him, except in the comics it was part of the armor, like a vest he wore. but seriously, have you ever seen a production still of a man doing nothing that is SO fucking fascinating?
it's a flavour flavesque timepiece by Mr_X	Apr 27th, 2007 06:45:49 AM
but he's looking good.
it looks cooler in the center of his chest by just pillow talk	Apr 27th, 2007 06:46:31 AM
They couldn't have it off-centered cause that would look just plain silly. I wouldn't really worry too much about that.
Iron Man!! by waites	Apr 27th, 2007 06:47:22 AM
Yikes. tried to post on this thread and it went to another one. Just had to say this photo is awesome! Downey has been working out and it shows! Bravo Favreau!!!
this will probably be by sHapesHiftinLizard	Apr 27th, 2007 06:47:55 AM
the best origin movie since BatmanBegins,might even outdo it, i am crazy for this movie, altho the Dark Knight is still at the top of my must see list.
Why does an artificial heart have lights in it? by Ingeld	Apr 27th, 2007 06:48:48 AM
Oh, because it looks cool. That's right. Does he have to change the bulbs or is LED?
i will say that my excitement for this has doubled by just pillow talk	Apr 27th, 2007 06:50:31 AM
since Favreau decided to do this. Everything that has come out has looked top-notch and felt 'right'. It's pretty freak'n cool that we now have TWO superhero movies to look forward to next year.
I am waiting for the haterz to eat crow by McBane	Apr 27th, 2007 06:53:35 AM
Those who said Downey was wrong for the role will shut up pretty quick. Kinda like those people who said Craig was not Bond.
if I'm not mistaken, it's not an artificial heart by just pillow talk	Apr 27th, 2007 06:54:07 AM
it's just the device that keeps his injured heart alive. Eventually that device is removed, along with the shrapnel, and his original heart is as good as new. I could be wrong, but I don't think he gets a new heart. Perhaps. Maybe.
Great by Dragon Man	Apr 27th, 2007 06:57:49 AM
That photo continues my belief that they're going to do a fantastic job with this. I can't wait to see it.
Shrapnel by Bluejack	Apr 27th, 2007 07:02:19 AM
It wasn't long in the comics before Stark got rid of the shrapnel. Every few years Marvel will bring back the heart issue for drama, but for the most part it's not an issue. It's hard to keep your identity secret when you have a big metal vest under your shirt. Also hard to have Stark be a big playboy and get laid all the time with the vest on. (He's a dog in Marvel comics, he just bagged She-Hulk in her book).
Ummm okay. Is he getting ready to clonk the coyote? by TomBodet	Apr 27th, 2007 07:03:57 AM
Anvil etc. you know. Heck I think he's a decent actor, and can do the job just fine if they give him something to work with.
CANT FUCKING WAIT! by RobFromBackEast	Apr 27th, 2007 07:05:41 AM
All the elements in this flick make it a must fucking see.
Ingeld by Pandas-R-Us	Apr 27th, 2007 07:09:58 AM
It's because he's lighthearted. I'll get my coat.
and she-hulk didn't break his dick off? by just pillow talk	Apr 27th, 2007 07:12:17 AM
did he have to wear the armor?
Harry seems to be keeping quiet... by UltraMeerkat	Apr 27th, 2007 07:12:56 AM
...on any type of film project, such as this one, that might polarize opinions. In the past he'd be wading in shooting his mouth off (TPM reviews, Armageddon, etc.) but now he is getting involved in film production he stays quiet. Hmmmm!
Looking awesome by photoboy	Apr 27th, 2007 07:14:25 AM
They really know what they're doing on this film, I'm loving everything I see. It's a pity they didn't hire someone like Favreau for Transformers instead of that hack Bay.
Holy shit! by Fecal Debris	Apr 27th, 2007 07:14:48 AM
He looks kinda ripped! I really dig it. Damn it, they really need to put out a book about how these stars get so buff in such a seemingly short time. I know I'm probably unawares of just how long they pump, and I know that I have to work all day when their full time job might be lifting weights for a part, but still... and I still resemble Downey a great deal. They can still call me for stunts and doubling. It's not too late.
She-Hulk could have flexed... by Fecal Debris	Apr 27th, 2007 07:19:31 AM
...her thigh muscles and snapped his iron cock right off (unless he'd parked it in her garage, in which case a contraction of her she-sphincter would have been enough). Hey, any reason why the heart device is mounted outside his shirt? Am I missing something? Why bother detaching the thing to change clothes? I am jealous of Downey's career.
This looks fucking cool. by dekionplexis	Apr 27th, 2007 07:26:19 AM
That is all.
I am so cynical about these things... by Mentok	Apr 27th, 2007 07:26:32 AM
And I'm not the biggest Iron Man fan, but I have to say, they seem to be doing everything right on this one. I am cautiously optimistic.
I'm not a huge IM fan by johnnykool	Apr 27th, 2007 07:39:28 AM
But this has me interested. I really like the look this image portrays and as long as they don't go ridiculous I'll plan to see it in the theater. ...something I don't plan to do for FF2. I'm Bit Torrenting that bitch.
strange by JoeyRusso1290	Apr 27th, 2007 07:44:09 AM
Pic is cool, but does anyone else think Downey's goatee makes him look alot like John Favurau?
Time for the unbelievers to shut up! by waites	Apr 27th, 2007 07:56:43 AM
I like what McBane said up there. People said Craig would not be a great Bond and he proved them wrong. Same for Downey! he will be a kick ass Iron Man and the unbelievers will have to love it!!
Yeah I'm liking it so far! by RighteousBrother	Apr 27th, 2007 07:57:59 AM
Wasn't sure about Robert D Jnr to begin with but bring it on! when are we going to see him in the old Red and Yellow!?
The heart is in the centre of the chest by kingoflight	Apr 27th, 2007 07:58:47 AM
Not that i know the iron man story but i do know what to aim at it i was going to shoot him. The heart lies in the centre of the chest, seams people still think its up in the left side of there chest saying hi to there shoulder. Place your hand on the centre of your chest at the bottom of the sternam, hey presto one heart beat. So do we know who the bad guy is ?
I was ambivalent about Downey in this, by Bubba Gillman	Apr 27th, 2007 07:59:42 AM

Never been a huge Iron Man fan but... by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Apr 27th, 2007 08:19:05 AM
Downey looks the part, and I don't think the irony of an addict playing an addict is lost on anyone. I respect that they're starting with the grey Iron Man suit, but hope they move up to red/yellow. There was a great plotline in Guardians of the Galaxy about a race known as The Stark. In the future as Earth was being overrun Tony jettisoned his technology into space so it wouldn't fall into wrong hands. The genius didn't think that maybe the people who found it wouldn't be the right hands either, and of course it did. Picture not one, but a whole race of Iron Man known throughout the Galaxy as The Stark.
it's hard not to have Tony Stark in a workshop by just pillow talk	Apr 27th, 2007 08:20:09 AM
since, ya know, that's what he does. Tinkers all the time in his workshop coming up with Iron Man suits and whatnot.
this is looking promising by choomoo89	Apr 27th, 2007 08:20:51 AM
i cant wait to see this from the looks of this pic and the one with the armor so far so good it takes me back to the late 80s and 90s watching robocop on the big screen loved that as a kid
A production still of ... by Boris Baddenov	Apr 27th, 2007 08:22:51 AM
A man doing nothing?? Not quite! Tony Stark is working intensely in this pic -- he's gripped the face shield in tongs, and there's what appears to be an anvil with a sledgehammer atop it, viewed in front of his right arm. Tony Stark's determined to defeat the bad guys here!
Why doesn't his shirt cover it up? by mondoz2	Apr 27th, 2007 08:29:07 AM
He wears a shirt with a hole so you can see the heart thing? Why does it look like a glowing daisy?

I dont think the light-daisy is on his shirt, people by moondoggy2u	Apr 27th, 2007 08:46:15 AM
Rather, I think the lights are supposed to be so bright that they are shining THROUGH his wife beater. Anyone else getting that vibe?
That is so money. by OneintenMan	Apr 27th, 2007 08:50:42 AM
Never been into Iron Man, but honestly, this is currently what's keeping me from committing suicide over transformers. It looks awesome.
Looks awesome so far by Steve Rogers	Apr 27th, 2007 08:51:14 AM
I honestly couldn't have given two shits about an Iron Man movie awhile ago, even when Favs got attached, but the casting of RDJ, The Dude, and ther other parts, as well as all the images I have seen so far, have me pumped to see the film. Can't wait. Still pissed that Stark won the Civil War and got me killed, though. Bummer.
I saw this on an infomercial by Raze50	Apr 27th, 2007 08:51:44 AM
You too can BEDAZZLE anything! A wife-beater, a baseball cap, your homemade iron exo-skeleton... Seriously, though...I'd be a little less concerned if it didn't look like they just pulled some chick's shirt off the rack at Target and made Robert put it on. I'd expect a little more from the costumer of Blade:Trinity...except that she's also the one who made Dracula look like euro trash...

Glowing through his shirt... by stlfilmwire	Apr 27th, 2007 08:55:55 AM
My guess is what we are seeing is the lights are glowing through the fabric. I don't think there is a hole cut out of it.
Looks cool... by Kid Z	Apr 27th, 2007 08:57:08 AM

Another thing... by Kid Z	Apr 27th, 2007 09:00:13 AM
... Who's gonna be the villain? Heard it was gonna be Obadiah Stane, but he was always a mastermind/evil businessman/sit-back-and-let-h enchmen-do-all-the-heavy-lifti ng/Lex Luthor sort of dude, so I assume there'll be a super-powered henchman to contend with too. As long as it's not "Absorbing Dad" or (ahem) a cloud I'll be there on opening night!
Actually I'm wondering by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Apr 27th, 2007 09:03:13 AM
how they're going to update the origin. I mean wasn't Stark captured by the Vietnamese, or was it Koreans. I guess nowadays you could make it the North Koreans. I want Titanium Man in the sequel with Don Frye as our Russian friend. Hey, doesn't he look like Roscoe from "The Anvil"

At least that's what was revealed in Favreau's interview in the Wizard Mega Movie Issue/Special.... I personally like all the casting save for Paltrow. Here's hoping she proves she is a great Potts. Downey is so money. Perfect casting for me, but I am barely an Iron Man fan. Hope this movie rocks and shows some Hollywood trash how to respect a property whilst taking liberties. Modest liberties. This does not look anything like Iron Man In Name Only. This looks spot fucking on right now and Favreau's interview sure makes me maintain that sentiment. Hurry up May 2008!

Turn on your heart light, in the middle of Tony Stark's wet dream...don't wake him up too soon...gonna shoot a load of iron spooge, in the sheets. Or if you go with the Kenny Loggins "Heartlight" instead of Neil Diamond, you get: "Whoah-oh, heartlight! Whoah-oh, heartlight! Oh welcome to heartlight!"

I'm a part of a very small minority by mr.underwater	Apr 27th, 2007 09:34:04 AM
I am an Iron Man fan. Since I was 6 or 7. I own the books, action figures, posters, the work. About 18 different version of the Iron Man movie have played in my head. And, the more I see of this version, the more it's aligning with what's in my fandom addled brain Iron Man has always been thematically deeper and more complex than other comics, Favreau doesn't seem to be shying away from that. It's also been much more tech-heavy than other comics, Favreau seems to be embracing that too. I never thought I'd ever see an Iron Man movie, because I just didn't think enough people cared. But now, not only am I seeing an Iron Man movie, I'm seeing the one very close to the one my brain created many years ago. In short, this kicks ass (although, I'm still not completely crazy about Downey. Maybe because my heart was completely set on Clive Owen)

Mandarin by Mr. Nice Gaius	Apr 27th, 2007 09:53:36 AM
I believe he's being played by Shaun Toub. And it looks like Leslie Bibb has been cast as well. And while I'm a big fan of RDJr., I'm totally ambivalent about this movie.

Making me a believer by trombone	Apr 27th, 2007 10:12:39 AM
Since finding out about this movie, I've actually gone back and read some Iron Man comics. Never really got into him as a kid, it was always like "let's just come up with some new gizmo and beat the badguys". Always felt like cheating. (Was anyone ELSE disgusted by Iron Man counteracting Peter's Spider-Sense?) But Downey can be vulnerable and I think that's the key to Iron Man. I mean this is the ONE hero that can be a wimp. He's got ARMOR for that!

umm I'm being a superficial asshole by saying this but by Demosthenes2	Apr 27th, 2007 11:08:38 AM
Downey is getting a bit over the hill to carry an superhero franchise. He might be fine to play the role now, but I don't know about sequels. That being said, Harrison Ford has made a career out of playing middle-aged action heroes, not to mention Arnie. Downey being the genius he is, I'm sure he can pull off a superhero, but I'm just not sure I want to see him in anything other than offbeat movies/roles. Still, I'm sure he's a far more inspired choice than some alternatives, so I should quit my bitching.
Iron man film already released by brassai2003	Apr 27th, 2007 11:12:50 AM
if you dig IM, like I do, check out the Iron Man cartoon from MArvel. It's a million times better than the Ultimate Avengers. Trust me. Awesome animation and the still is like from the cartoon movie.
Um hey guys guess what by Falcon5768	Apr 27th, 2007 11:20:07 AM
YOUR HEART IS IN THE CENTER OF YOUR CHESTS IDIOTS. Hasn't anyone taken a anatomy course?
Falcon5768 by Freefinger	Apr 27th, 2007 11:36:02 AM
it's a piece that keeps a shrapnel away from his heart... Not an actual heart, so they can basically put it anywhere... and you writting IN BIG FREAKING LETTERS makes me angry, and you would'nt like me when I'm ang.. oh look.. a kitty cat...
I had gross anatomy by Turd Furgusen	Apr 27th, 2007 11:38:11 AM
and Falcon5768 is right. However, the heart technically is offset from the center by a little to the left.
I wonder if there's a scene, by Turd Furgusen	Apr 27th, 2007 11:42:07 AM
where Tony wears his heart on his sleeve and confesses his love for Ms. Potts! (rim shot)
Ha! He looks like a Care Bear! by Abin Sur	Apr 27th, 2007 11:49:50 AM
Call him Substance Abuse Bear. Actually, it looks pretty cool, and is a good realization of the comic, IMO.
Shia Labeouf by Forestal	Apr 27th, 2007 11:53:39 AM
I'm surprised he's only been mentioned twice in this TB. Shia Labouf is the reason for our existence. Kneel before Shia!

I know a lot of people don't like Paltrow. by Turd Furgusen	Apr 27th, 2007 12:02:09 PM
I'm fine with her being in this movie, but does anyone know what extent Pepper Potts plays in this? Does she have a lot of screen time? I just don't see Paltrow being a factor in ruining the movies overall experience. I think Downey will do great.

Hell, I wish she had been cast as Lois Lane in Superman Returns. She plays the "His Girl Friday" type well. Kate Bosworth was AWFUL. I still think it's a shame thet her forehead didn't get its own credit, though. WOW. She joins Tyra Banks and Christina Ricci in the "Dome of the Year" Award nominee pool.

since no one answered your question, this picture is supposed to be in Afghanistan. That's this story's Vietnam. I don't know why I love this pic so much - maybe it's the intensity. Or Downey's look. Funny, I've seen him look muscular before, but usually he looks kinda pasty, but he looks just perfect in this. Lighting and makeup really do make a difference. I was never a huge Iron Man fan either - it's actually only been since Disassembled into Civil War that I ever paid attention to the character. But for some reason, I'm looking forward to this flick more than any other comic adaptation. I think it's the care and the detail being put into it and it seems to not be making the mistakes that you usually see in pre-production with these movies. I hope we won't be disappointed.

No flames, no lips, no clouds by a rolling stone	Apr 27th, 2007 02:53:10 PM
If the creators of a comic movie respect the original medium (the comic) the movie can become a film. ("Batman Begins" showed that respect/"Catwoman" did not). There's respect from Fav in this pic alone, so I'm hopeful. As long as Iron Man sports no flames and we don't see his lips, and as long as War Machine doesn't show up as a big gray cloud, I'm cool.
absolutely right rolling stone by just pillow talk	Apr 27th, 2007 02:56:18 PM

Iron Man Fan - but will this work? by strosmer	Apr 27th, 2007 03:57:33 PM
What a thrilling time for movies. CGI has made anything possible, and it's just amazing to see all the comic book heroes I grew up with coming alive on the big screen in big ways, though I'm not pleased with how most of them turn out. Raimi and Nolan are the only directors who have demonstrated some true reverence for their material. Spider-Man 1 & 2 and Batman Begins are great films that show both the motivations and capabilities of their heroes. I think Bryan Singer failed in that regard with Superman. In Iron Man, I see an opportunity to pull together a high action, character driven film that could rival anything yet released in this genre. It's amazing this character is getting a movie; even more amazing that Downey Jr. is cast as Stark (who'd imagine he'd take on a superhero role at all). I don't know what Favreau has planned beyond the origin formula, but I hope we see him pull off some well-choreographed big action. I expect to see Iron Man flying at high speed over long distances and causing some big damage. My guess is we'll see the grey armor evolve into red and gold by the end of the movie - the logo from the website indicates this will be the case. From what I've seen, I'm psyched. Seems Favreau's at least done adequate research. No doubt Downey Jr. will be great. I think he'll make this film fly if all else is in place. Mandarin is the right choice for the lead off villain. Can't wait for '08. Course '07 looking good too. Let's pray that if Galactus is introduced as a cloud, he does not remain a cloud.
Can't wait to see this, oh it's not Elf 2? by SoylentMean	Apr 27th, 2007 03:58:12 PM
I thought it was Elf 2. Damn. Why would you make a movie out of a Black Sabbath song? Just kidding. I seriously hope this movie is promoted well (I mean like with subliminals) so it doesn't stumble out of the gate. The whole thing has great potential to be the next big comic book franchise. Isn't Terrence Howard on deck to play War Machine? If they set that up and then don't deliver on a sequel well that would be one hell of a pair of globos azul.
An interesting thing with Stark was he appeared to be by superninja	Apr 27th, 2007 04:00:18 PM
so together and the picture of perfection, meanwhile he was very good at hiding his very real weaknesses. I must say RDJ kind of takes away from the strength of that image a bit because he looks like a weasel, which is kind of what he is known for playing.

Superninja, I get what you are saying about RDJr., however I think he is a fine choice. We'll have to wait and see. However, dream actor-style, who would you have cast? Living or dead. Just curious as I always value and enjoy your opinions...

If there's one thing the Phantom Menace taught us... by kevred	Apr 27th, 2007 11:06:10 PM
...it's that having the most mind-blowingly amazing and perfect pre-release production stills is no guarantee of movie quality. (God, I can still remember how jaw-droppingly perfect Neeson, McGregor, and Maul looked in those early shots.) That said, though, the shots we've seen so far from this flick look inspiringly dead-on. In some ways I don't think it's all that hard for this to be a really good movie--give us some good armor and some good rip-roaring action, just enough angst but not too much. Don't try to be too clever, don't waste too much time on origin stuff, give us meat & potatoes superhero fun and some characters we root for. Got a good feeling about this so far.

playing "complex characters", which is just a fancy way of saying weasels. If I could cast anyone, it would be Hugh Jackman, of course. But naturally, he can't be every superhero character. Eric Bana probably would've been exceptional. He is more geared toward that heroic archtype of character than Banner (see his Hector in Troy).

DC has to catch up! by thevision	Apr 28th, 2007 05:57:07 AM
Kevin Feige and Avi Arad were not bullshitting at Comic-Con when they said Marvel Films was going to go all out with first class productions. RDJ building the Gray Armor with rotary pacemaker on his chest- fricking coool! I like Gwyneth but still wish it was Kristina Hendricks as Pepper. Ed Norton signing on for Incredible Hulk is the icing on the cake- due out in '08 or '09? Marvel is scoring big, even mediocre-but fun films-Fantastic Four and Ghost Rider are hits. DC may have Christian Bale and Brandon Routh but that's it, Wonderwoman is in limbo and so is the Flash; I seriously doubt JLA will ever be made-at least not in the way it deserves. DC is treated as the proverbial redheaded stepchild at Warner Bros. I'm betting on Ironman and Hulk to score big so Marvel can have Frank Miller and Zach Snyder reboot Daredevil starring Edward Burns.

Can Iron Man Breath Life... by david19	Apr 29th, 2007 01:50:07 AM
back into Marvel Pictures? It would seem rather unlikely considering that Iron Man is hardly a top-selling name. Its no secret that Marvels biggest hits so far are Spidey and Xmen, and both movies performed, but with both titles possibly winding down, its no shock that Marvel is trying to keep butts in the seats with their less known characters. I think trying again with the Hulk is a huge risk. I personally liked the Ang Lee one when i first saw it, and even now the filmaking and acting and action are all pretty well done, the big let down being the over-dramatic story. The problem I see with the second-tier characters is that they are giving all these characters to second-rate directors, and that does not bode well for the future of Marvel comics. For me I just cannot get over what I feel are unforgivable changes or additions to these films, one major one being the casting of Jessica Alba as the Invisible Woman. It still bugs me and im not even a FF fan! As soon as I heard that I was totally turned off to that movie, and except for the vague trailer that Ill admit peaks my interest (though I am still waiting to see more positive reviews before I buy a ticket) the moment I heard she saw cast I lost all faith in the producers and director, and the fact that Tim Story is STILL in the chair really worries me. It was obvious from that movie that he is not a good director and i dont see how that could have changed. But now I am hearing three things that show me that maybe Marvel is getting their act together after all, 1:The casting of RDJ, this great little pic, and Favreaus comments so far have shown me that maybe Iron Man will be the movie to really keep Marvel on the map, now that Spideys furure is questionable. It doesnt seem like hardly anyone has bad things to say about this pic and its direction so far, and really the only questionable aspect is Favreau in the chair. I think Iron should be a character grounded more in reality and less in the Mandarin realm, but thats me, but really the question of whether this takes off or not lies in Favreaus ability as a filmaker. So far its looking good. 2:Norton as the Hulk. Ill admit this is odd casting, but I can see it happening and Nortons involvment at the very least is some insurance towards this movie being a success. Again the big "if" is the director. 2:Snyder and Miller doing Daredevil?!!???!!! If that is true..... OH MAN!!!! Daredevil with Snyders directing style I think is a match made in heaven. If this is true, we just might have something else to put up next to our Spidey, Bats, and Xmen DVDs on the shelf of honor! I for one liked DD in the theatre and even though it lost steam on DVD the extended version, I felt, fleshed it out a bit better. I think its at best a B- movie, not a classic, and not what it could be, but passable. If they can breath life back into DD I dont think anyone would complain. And Ed Burns as DD?! That could definately be great.

"Iron Man is hardly a top-selling name" Are you serious? You do realize that Iron Man has been selling out for the past five years or so. Not to mention the sucess of the Avengers and the New Avengers which Iron Man is a founding member of both. Iron Man is a staple of the Marvel universe and has been for the past forty years. Iron Man has had two animated series and an amimated movie based on him. So to say that he is not "a top selling name" is rediculous.

...they are going to screw up the IM armor! Seriously, am I the only one who sees this coming. There is absolutely NO WAY hollywood can resist putting wings or bazookas or something rediculously distracting on the suit, and we're all going to hate it. Also, I am anxious to see how they handle the traditional red and gold coloring...looks good in the comics, but on film I just don't know... (Then again the did pull off the red and blue Spidey outfit and got rid of the web-pits, so maybe there's still hope!)

Unfortunately RDJ looks supergay in the wifebeater... by DallasGoodbar	Apr 29th, 2007 09:02:23 PM
but if he sucks my dick for coke I'll reconsider.
SMG as Harley is actually an interesting choice by superninja	Apr 29th, 2007 11:04:03 PM
and I think a good one. I actually have more faith in her than Ledger.
If he looks gay, then it's not a wifebeater any longer. by Bronx Cheer	Apr 29th, 2007 11:11:49 PM
But since he's all man, I guess he isn't interested in you, DallasGoodbar.
a question by StElwood	Apr 30th, 2007 03:09:18 AM
Is that a built in ViewMaster on his chest?

Oh wow.... I get more and more excited about this film.

Quote "I like Robert Downey but he looks pretty weird and malnourished here." He is a POW at this point isnt he? when he makes the first suit. Not supprising that he looks malnourished.
ViewMaster = good times by just pillow talk	Apr 30th, 2007 07:54:25 AM
Land of the Lost was particular great on the ViewMaster.... So is Harley Quinn a complete wacko? I don't follow Batman cartoon/comics, so I'm not familiar with her. I looked it up and it said she fell in love with the joker, so I'm assuming she's missing a few screws.
This sounds harsh but.... by emeraldboy	Apr 30th, 2007 09:45:33 AM
Seven was a great movie, but what made it better was seeing Gwennies head in a box. She must have whined on and on endlessly when spacey's John Doe paid her a visit that he snapped and well we know what happened.
