When's the L.A. version??
You should get him drunk before liftoff by blindambition238	Apr 21st, 2008 11:57:20 PM
You know, to make it really Iron Man-ish. Also get some prostitutes for him before hand.
Heh by jsm1978	Apr 21st, 2008 11:57:25 PM
Sounds like fun
Should have kept this a surprise.. by happybunni	Apr 22nd, 2008 12:01:56 AM
Imagine everyone's faces if some dude was flying around dressed as iron man?? Not as cool if everyone knows about it, not nearly as cool
Can we watch THE ROCKETEER afterwards? by robogeek.com	Apr 22nd, 2008 12:02:48 AM

I already know who is going to win this by ThePilgrim	Apr 22nd, 2008 12:20:35 AM
Some Dude on www.therpf.com who goes by the nick Weaselfinger built a near perfect replica of the movie version M2 & M3 suit and helmet. He also did a comic version as well. Hope he finishes it in enough time too hget in on this contest.

When do the positive AICN staff reviews get posted by AlwaysThere	Apr 22nd, 2008 12:45:09 AM
With all this promotional advertising and hype posted here, I'd be expected them before week is over.
he's gonna burn the place down by Jubba	Apr 22nd, 2008 01:07:29 AM

are you kidding me with that music? by brain drill	Apr 22nd, 2008 01:20:48 AM
the youTube video is fantastic. the guitar solo is priceless, i want to track down an mp3.
Gotta love those royalty-free tunes. by LlGHTST0RMER	Apr 22nd, 2008 01:27:48 AM
I think I heard that music on a carpet cleaning commercial last week.
How come they can't invent a jetpack for common folk? by Han Cholo	Apr 22nd, 2008 01:28:43 AM
I mean, who doesn't want to fly? I always thought that we'd have flying cars and people going outer space for vacations and shit by now. Where's the feast we were promised? Is there a fundamental flaw in designing a working jet pack that isn't as bulky and doesn't use as much juice as the one that dude has? Why haven't any unknown geniuses created a way for us to fly amongst the birds using ingenuity and know how in their garages and spare time? I'm quite serious. Where's my fucking jet pack?!
wow.. by soup74	Apr 22nd, 2008 01:39:19 AM
i sure am glad i live in chicago, where all you had to do was explain why you really want to go for a chance to be invited to the early showing. I'm a comic book lovin' guy, who would love to take a date to the premiere, but im not gonna make an iron man suit just to be considered.
just made my suit by rartus	Apr 22nd, 2008 01:48:04 AM
....yea it was pots and pans.
That guitar song is by.... by highlander5150	Apr 22nd, 2008 02:01:59 AM
Joe Satriani....its called "if i could fly"(ironically)....from the album "Is There Love In Space"....he's awesome....and so are jet packs...
I'm glad there's no Sarlacc pit near the Alamo by TheNorthlander	Apr 22nd, 2008 02:11:44 AM
You know what happened to Boba.
Han Cholo by TheNorthlander	Apr 22nd, 2008 02:13:43 AM
They did invent video phones, but nobody's using them.
Enough of Iron Man! by CuervoJones	Apr 22nd, 2008 02:21:48 AM
We are no THAT interested!
hey herc! by The Real MiraJeff	Apr 22nd, 2008 02:58:04 AM
that's a GREAT question. i still remember when i first laid eyes on mori back at the monster house screening of '06. brings a tear to my eye every time...
Oh yeah I remember that in GTA San Andreas by Orionsangels	Apr 22nd, 2008 04:12:37 AM

This guy should SO wear a Rocketeer outfit!! by Steve Rogers	Apr 22nd, 2008 04:47:51 AM
Iron Man? Pah!
The Iron Harry animation is even funnier in full res by DerLanghaarige	Apr 22nd, 2008 06:53:13 AM
Seriously.
why no delaware love?!?!?!?! by doodah	Apr 22nd, 2008 07:06:19 AM

Couldn't have cut this any closer? by Galva	Apr 22nd, 2008 07:17:22 AM
Sheesh. You few lucky fuckers better have a damn good time.
Will there also be an Iron Monger jet packer by Ruthless Berserk	Apr 22nd, 2008 09:13:45 AM
...and then they can have a fake battle in the sky? Now that would be cool Harry....
JETPACKS!!! Like FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE!!! by SkidMarkedUndies	Apr 22nd, 2008 09:24:32 AM
I love technology!!!
The Justice League Movie is Dead by Snookeroo	Apr 22nd, 2008 10:03:40 AM
Scrapped. Put to rest. Gone. Just thought it merited mentioning. Carry on.
doodah by waggy	Apr 22nd, 2008 10:57:51 AM
What great Delaware theater do you want to hold the screening at? The Carmike theater in the Dover Mall or the Midway theater in Rehoboth where we can expect sound and/or picture cutting out in the middle of the feature?
Chicago! by santi01	Apr 22nd, 2008 12:02:42 PM
The greatest city in the world will have the better Iron Man screening! San Antonio Who?
Wow, they should get that into the next Bond movie.. by BenBraddock	Apr 22nd, 2008 12:49:21 PM
Oops
Sorry Skidmarks, shoulda read the other posts first by BenBraddock	Apr 22nd, 2008 12:50:32 PM

waggy by doodah	Apr 22nd, 2008 01:53:53 PM
umm...if we are talking crappy theatres, dont forget movies 10 in newport, whose seats are harder than lexington steele's boner wrapped in a diamond encrusted condom. i didnt say our theatres were great, i just hate getting pooped on cause they dont bring any sweet screenings in our area like philly or baltimore.
This site... by onephatnelly	Apr 22nd, 2008 02:00:23 PM
... is becoming one big fucking Iron Man commercial. Are you guys on a retainer or something?
Seriously, Iron Man looks awesome and will rock... by BLEST	Apr 22nd, 2008 03:01:06 PM
but the "almost unbearably anticipated film of the summertime"...c'mon. Now you're just showing your geek loyalty at having been given ILM tours and early screenings. TDK is the most anticipated film of the summertime, and that's a fact. Right behind it is Indy IV. But you haven't gotten any exclusives or any perks on those films, have you?
doodah by waggy	Apr 22nd, 2008 04:09:30 PM
I feel ya man. Aside from the yearly Rehoboth Film Festival it's pretty much a wasteland for cinema here. I'm moving to New York in the very near future, so I'm very excited to actually have a film scene to be a part of, but sadly that city doesn't get many AICN events either.
Frak Austin by Double M	Apr 22nd, 2008 11:31:15 PM
I hope the jet pack burns your popcorn.
Too cool by a rolling stone	Apr 23rd, 2008 03:59:25 AM
I bartend at Fuel, on 6th across from the Alamo Drafthouse Ritz. You get Iron Man to come fly to down to 6th and his drinks are on me!
I want to go up by Napoleon Park	Apr 23rd, 2008 05:27:21 AM
I want to go fast.
Pretty cool, but... by Skyway Moaters	Apr 23rd, 2008 06:46:10 PM
... I fail to see what the hell it has to do with Iron Man, unless this guy is perfrming at an opening of the film somewhere, or whatever, in which case it's kind of lame! Dubious connection to Iron Man at best.
yeah not a very well produced video by Rupee88	Apr 23rd, 2008 08:27:29 PM
and the public domain music is just lame.
Harry by lantern48	Apr 24th, 2008 09:59:50 PM
You can have your silly jet pack man. We're goona rock it in Chicago with Capone.
Results? by valcon3	Apr 25th, 2008 07:20:47 PM

Seriously! by Budcrud	Apr 26th, 2008 02:09:29 PM

Tell me! by Octopornopus	Apr 27th, 2008 05:03:40 AM
Don't make me toss your wide load off that pretentious balcony you reserve for you and your meals.... 36 hours of hitting my refresh button is getting pretty old!
Wow by Octopornopus	Apr 27th, 2008 06:13:36 PM
Had I known all it took was my face Photoshopped onto the ILM teaser, my roommate and I wouldn't have spent 4 hours making our suits.... And that Comicon War Machine suit is the one I based mine off of =p
Umm... by Renegrenade	Apr 27th, 2008 08:30:35 PM
So did I just miss the announcement? How do we find out who made it?
Results by valcon3	Apr 27th, 2008 11:54:02 PM
You can find the results off of www.originalalamo.com. It has the Flickr group of all the people who won - looks like only 36 people won/entered.
