Iron Man was great...and there was enough technology in that movie to make me geek out every five seconds....

Well, Iron Man is kind-of a jerk, so I'd say that whether it was intentional or not it was true to the character. Marvel generally gives each of their heroes a downfall to make them more human and/or relatable. So while you may feel more for someone like, say, Spider-man, those who generally rub folks the wrong way may feel more for Iron Man.

In short, Iron Man fans are jerks.

I'm kidding, of course. Iron Man is pretty cool. Only fans of Tony Stark as a character are jerks... >.>

Anyway, I'm going to go see it this Friday. I'm impressed that no one that I've talked to yet has really had anything negative to say about it unlike most superhero movies (except the aforementioned distaste for Stark's jerk-ish nature).

I absolutely loved Tony! Funny, energetic, strong yet caring. I like how he was a tough guy until he saw how much damage he caused and then tries to make it right. What's not to like?

Just saw The Forbidden Kingdom, finally! I thought it was pretty damn good

Haha I know I loved it!

I wouldn't mind seeing it again for sure.
Iron Man will be this weekend I hope!

I just watched into the wild last night and I have to say I really really enjoyed the film. Emile Hirsch nailed it. He was extremely driven throughout his journey and quite honorable too. Not sure I was on the same plain of thought as him the whole time but I got the general message of the movie.

*cqb101* · 05-07-2008, 01:04 PM

Watched Super High Me for the second time. The first time I watched it was on 4/20 and I was crazy baked, so I didn't remember any of it. Loved it the second time around.

*DrSpengler* · 05-07-2008, 03:20 PM

Pinoccio's Revenge.

Surprisingly not awful, if you can believe it.

*cowabunga14* · 05-08-2008, 08:02 PM

Finished up the '92 version of Of Mice and Men in my English class today, which was good for a modern adaptation of the book. I thought it could've had a similar ending to the book, though.

*Mr. Snackpants* · 05-09-2008, 02:49 PM

The Crucible.

Gotta love DDL.

*Cure* · 05-09-2008, 03:46 PM

I saw Baby Mama. Considering that Tina Fey had part in this, I was expecting a movie as good as Mean Girls, but sadly it wasn't.

*jeff the cheff* · 05-09-2008, 03:52 PM

Rainman.

Never seen it in its entirety before. It was much better this way.

*Mr. Snackpants* · 05-09-2008, 04:51 PM

Vacancy.

Sh*tty movie. Kate Beckinsale being in it made it bearable.

*tone-master21* · 05-09-2008, 10:49 PM

Alvin and the Chipmunks and Ghostbusters 2.

I saw iron man last night. And I must be a jerk 'cause I liked Tony.

When it started I was like "yeah this guy is a bit of a d*ck" but I love his quirks. Plus the guy is a genius and doesen't throw it around. He's just having fun in life.

Spoiler:

Anyways, one of the best if not the best comic movie I've seen I think. And also quite belevible.

*cowabunga14* · 05-10-2008, 01:24 PM

Watched Theatre of Blood last night, which was an entertaining dark comedy. The fact that Vincent Price was among British actors for a second time reminded me of Witchfinder General.

Later, I watched The Beast Within and I liked it. The plot could've been a little bit better, though.

*cqb101* · 05-10-2008, 02:04 PM

Finally saw Iron Man, and I loved it.

*tone-master21* · 05-11-2008, 01:50 AM

I also just saw Iron Man and thought it was a great movie.

*cowabunga14* · 05-11-2008, 04:09 PM

Watched Bride of Frankenstein last night, which was very good. Now I just need to see the first one.

After that, I watched Blazing Saddles and it was quite entertaining.

Then I watched the 1941 version of The Ghost Train and it was decent. I liked how the interactions between Arthur Askey and Richard Murdoch played out.

*Guitar_Raph* · 05-11-2008, 08:48 PM

Just saw the Speed Racer Movie!

Action packed, cool races & the ones who stole the movie; Spritle & Chim-Chim! I cracked up laughing every time they were on. The only thing missing was Spritle crying like Lucy!

I couldn't believe John Goodman pulled off Pops Racer so well! All that was missing (for a hidden joke) was for Roseanne to sing the national anthem!

Great movie!
