I like Elf too. Cheesy climax in the park, but fun movie... it's nice to see Will be over-the-top WITHOUT being an ass of a character like in Ricky Bobby, Anchorman, and (I'm guessing) Blades of Glory. I enjoy that side of him, too, but a bit of variety's nice to see!

I'm pleased they're doing a gray Iron Man first in the film! Part of me worried it'd be some flashy variant of the Ultimate Iron Man armor, glamming it up ala Spidey's shiny-scaly suit. The gray suit looks nifty, so far. And Rick, that thing on the arm shoots ketchup AND mustard... where'd you think he got the idea of adopting the colors red & yellow for his later suits? :)

love the grey armour! personally, i hope they don't stick too closely with that Adi Granov stuff. maybe it's not so much the armour design itself, but those covers on his website are just so bland and lifeless!

and just on Favreau, let's not forget he wrote the brilliantly quirky and witty 'Swingers'.

Yeah, Swingers was great. Great dialogue and probably my favourite movie that Vince Vaughn's been in.

True Favreau story.

About four or five years ago I helped a friend of mine move from San Francisco to L.A. I was mad crazy to see some movie stars and on my third and last day there I hadn't seen a one. Hell, seeing Willie Ames would have made my day. So we went to this cafe called The Newsroom where my friend said he often sees actors "chillin'". No such luck for me. What we did see were a bunch of white guys wearing red bandanas "They're all trying to be Robert Rodriguez". OK, I says. So after we sit and order, I look to my right and sitting right next to me is John Favreau. I of course loved him in "Swingers" but at that time he was known to the world as Courtney Cox's (or was in Jennifer Anniston's) boyfriend in "Friends" for a few episodes. Not really much to the story. He sat right next to me with a cute chick and her (and his?) baby. In all due respect to him, Favreau attacked that hamburger like a grizzly bear. I swear he consumed it in a mere eight minutes.

That's it. End of story.

Oh, and for a great Favreau flick, rent "Made". It's like a fun and half-assed attempt to bring the comedy team of Favreau and Vince Vaugne back together again. I love that movie. Classic buddy pic of two white doofuses being thrust into a world of New York pimps and hustlers (with P. Diddy as the main playah).

Regarding that Iron Man suit. Does he look as if he could walk three steps in that thing?? I never believed he was able to move in that tin can even back in those first Kirby issues that that suit is based on! And one more thing to bitch about: how was Iron Man able to bend his arms and legs when he switched to red and gold?? There were no hinges on the knees and elbows to bend.

Geez, don't you know anything? It's a flexible mesh that hardens when struck by balistic objects. :roll: :wink:

...which is why it could fit in that briefcase he carried around for years, too, if I recall correctly.

as for walking around in the tin can, think 'cargo loader' from ALIENS, probably... designed so it responds to his movements, but not requiring great strength to operate.

Uh... they actually DO have some material that is being worked on that does this very thing. Truth is apparently at least as strange as fiction.

OH PLEASE GOD don't let this movie suck like the new Fantastic 4 movie is going to. I LIKE the Iron Man character.
