To peace!

Believe the hype about Iron Man.

Especially if you are a fan and stay until the end. I'm not exactly happy about the last scene before the credits, because pairing that with the scene after the credits leads me to believe they already know what arc they want to do with these characters down the line. That's especially cryptic, but if you're a Marvel fan of recent history you'll understand what I mean.

Stark here is much more snarky than I recall him ever being in the comics-- he's almost Peter Parker, the older billionaire version. There are moments where I forgot it was a superhero movie. That's how realistic these characters feel on screen, even if they really don't really flesh out anyone besides Stark. I'm not sure a lot of younger kids are going to enjoy it, because there's very few action sequences. But it's hard to say anything else without being too spoilery, so JUST GO SEE IT.

It's not the perfect comic book movie, but it's pretty darn close. There was only about four things I could find fault with, but they were minor and easily forgivable.

My dad and I decided to cast the rest of the Avengers, but we can't think of a decent Thor or Captain America. I think the best casting methods would be to scour Nordic countries for Thor and find someone who looks like they're from the 1940s for Cap. The Pyms are probably the two casting directors should be least worried about getting right, but hell if I can think of who to play them even decently. My dad is more concerned with getting Thor and Cap's costumes to look practical-- damn those wings!

As for others, I only half-jokingly decided Daniel Dae-Kim should be Sub-Mariner, even if he was in Spider-Man 2 for a second.

Oh, I saw Lost at 5am last night/this morning. lol, talk about shipper wars.

I'm thinking I might like to see Iron Man. I'm not really a marvel fan, but the movies I've seen have been pretty good.

As for others, I only half-jokingly decided Daniel Dae-Kim should be Sub-Mariner, even if he was in Spider-Man 2 for a second.

I love Daniel Dae-Kim!

Oh, I saw Lost at 5am last night/this morning. lol, talk about shipper wars.

I'm totally a Kate/Sawyer shipper. I cried a little last night.
I'm so pissed that that show still has me watching; I'm so confused, but I can't not know how it ends, YK.

And this one is pretty great!

So do I. I think he was mostly on my mind because the subways have the posters for The Andromeda Stain.

I'm not even mad at it anymore, but I know what you mean. I can't stop watching my shows, especially when I know so many who still watch it. I need to be in the know!

The Lost shipper wars triggered by last night's episode are pretty intense. I'm trying to stay out of them, but I'm all for Jack/Juliet and Kate/Sawyer, so if they win, yay, if not, oh well.

[bohemu.livejournal.com]

Not even just Kate/Jack/Juliet/Sawyer, but Sawyer/Claire too. When did he get so protective over Claire? Shipping isn't so serious to me, so it's laughable.

lol, Everyone I know here wants to see Iron Man! Mostly the guys. But w/e, I want to too. I'm mad because I was planning on seeing Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Iron Man this weekend (and save Made of Honor for like next weekend or something) but they took out Sarah Marshall out of our theatres today. BOOO!

And I probably won't be able to go to the movies anyway. I have this HUGE ass group english project which is due on Monday and it's gonna kick our ass so I'll probably be working on it the whole weekend. Just 2 more weeks of school! I CAN MAKE IT! ... i think, lol.

[bohemu.livejournal.com]

Aww, that sucks. Forgetting Sarah Marshall was okay, but I'm excited for Made of Honor more. Which is weird. But yeah.

I've got some final projects myself that I have to finish... yeah, I've got that same mantra about school. lol

[edgeofmyemotion.livejournal.com]

Ahh! I missed Lost because I had to work, and I thought I was taping it, but I didn't. Was it good??

[bohemu.livejournal.com]

It was okay. Nothing too spectacular unless you're a hardcore shipper, really.

...I could see it.

[bohemu.livejournal.com]

!!! I didn't even think of him, haha. Weird, since the first blonde guys I thought of were everyone else from Trainspotting. *headesk*

My dad was all, "Brad Pitt as Cap! Or with long hair, as Thor, like in Troy. And Matt Damon as Cap." And I was like, "This is Avengers, not Ocean's Avengers?"

[splits_thesky]

loooooool, Brad and Matt were totally the first two guys I thought of, too. And then I was like, "....wait. What the hell???" :DDDD

[bohemu.livejournal.com]

lmaoooo. Ahaha, after he said Matt, my dad went, "Leo! How about Leo?" XD

My first thought for Cap was Daniel Craig and then I went, "oh yeah, he's kinda got this thing called BEING JAMES BOND." IDK, RDJ wasn't the obvious choice for Tony Stark but he's perfect so who knows. They might blow our minds with casting once more.

[splits_thesky]

loooooooool, best ever!!!! DIMON 4EVERRRRRRRRRRRRR

God, I hope so. *crosses everything!*

Please don't let it be the path to Civil War. Actually, let it be. Me and my boy think the Civil War series would make for a great film. I may have to yank his arm and make him take me to see it next Saturday.

[bohemu.livejournal.com]

Civil War was basically the baseline of The Incredibles. They just went into hiding instead of fighting it. :D I forced my mom to go with my sister in my place today with my nephew and a family friend and everyone came back excited, haha.

I wen to see Iron Man but didn't stay until the credits ended D:

*headdesk*

I hope I'll find the scene somewhere =.=

[bohemu.livejournal.com]

It's uploaded on YouTube:


lol, the excited geeks.

[welt.livejournal.com]

Damn. It got deleted before I saw it Dx

[bohemu.livejournal.com]

I'm sure there's still bootlegs on YouTube though. Search for "iron man credits"

[dream20.livejournal.com]

Iron Man was an orgasmic win and it was only made sweeter by staying until the end of the credits.

Samuel L. Jackson + eye patch = <3

[bohemu.livejournal.com]

I saw it again yesterday, and this time I could actually hear all of what Nick Fury was saying. I'm excited for the future.

If only your icon could have been given as much justice at the movies.

[dream20.livejournal.com]

The future is bright and full of combo-superhero movies! Wet yourself with glee!

I know, right? I was very disappointed by Phoenix's performance. She didn't even yell once V)V

[bohemu.livejournal.com]

I know. I was excited enough with this year, I can only imagine by 2012.

X2 had given me sooo much hope and then... yeah. Movie!Phoenix was somewhere between Jean Grey and Light Phoenix, really.

Iron Man: FRAKIN' A!
