Neil Patrick Harris and Jonathan Winters are the only saving graces that abomination has so far.

Just got back from watching Iron Man 2.
Robots are sexy.
Best movie line of 2010: "Drop your socks and grab your crocs!"
I have a strange sense of humor.
Also, is it odd if I fistpumped when... They facebattled? I mean, obviously it's going to happen but... I've been waiting for them to stop getting at each other's throats and start getting at each other's throats, YA KNOW WHAT I MEAN WINK WINK
On the subject of previews, WOW, The Last Airbender actually looks like it'll be good. Though I'd be pop flyin' by simply not being as bad as Dragonball Evolution.

So, I picked up the 2003 Peter Pan movie. I have mixed feelings about the movie itself, but I do know that Jason Isaacs makes for an astounding Hook. We're talking Dustin Hoffman level, here.

There is actually a Norvegian children's song about stomping on smurfs.

I saw Iron Man 2, and I dunno about everyone else but that movie kinda increased my technophobia. I mean, I ended up really liking the villain in like a good-pal sort of way. Compared to that asshole guy who's the rival of Stark companies the Russian guy's a pretty chill dude. Even when you see those two security guards dead the movie treats it pretty nonchalantly, like "Oh, well.. okay i guess i'll let it slide"
I guess the movie was trying to make him seem coldhearted and scary in the way that he didn't care, but had he been the only sort of "villain" in the movie it might've worked a little better. Instead, there's that asshole guy who's not as murderous as the Russian dude but definately soaks up more of the audience's loathing than him.
..What I'm getting at is that, for me, the plot became less of just a superhero beating the latest powerful villain in his world more into a world where our competitive natures are being supplemented by technology, allowing us to cause more havoc than we ever could before, to others and to ourselves. I'm probably just looking too much in it, since most of the appeal of the movie is supposed to be, "look at my shiny technology lolol I just blew up a building, epicc" but sometimes it practically sets me up to see it this way. Look at where the motives for the main villains comes from. In the first movie the villain isn't even some isolated man from a different land (or TOTALLY A METAPHOR FOR THE COLD WAR WOAHNOWAYLOLOLLOL.. no i kid.), he's just some guy who runs a company. Seriously. And then he dons some suit, things are destroyed, you know the drill. In the second movie.. sure okay now he's a guy whose really bent on getting revenge and killin' people but the movie definately had enough room for the villain to just be scary on his own. Instead, he's picked up by the executive from Stark's rival company and fuels this guy (who I may note just escaped from jail) with everything he would need to destroy a whole city and beyond.. so he can rub it in Stark's face. The usual way of presenting a villain is making them fearsomely strong, a force that couldn't have been stopped at any point of time.. So having some corporal man become the cause for the villain's increase of power and eventual havoc on the neighborhood just makes me.. think this way. And whenever there's a scene showing the technology that's in the hands of the army (in both movies), that honestly makes me freak out a little. And also, with our protagonist being a total asshole at times and becoming increasingly drunk throughout the second movie, blowing shit up and practically destroying his whole house with his supersuit..Well I don't know. Just makes me uncomfortable. Either I'm just looking way too much into it and infusing my bias into us, or the movie just ended up being hypocritical by accident. I don't think this way for all of technology, but just when it's shed in this light do I get a little nervous. It's only fictional, so oh well.
Jeez I just wrote an essay... tl;dr amirite
as a side note, how many times can someone break a window in this movie, I mean seriously shit goes down in this movie shattering glass style.
