I know I owe tons of comments. I'm really rusty, though, so bear with me and I will answer you! I might end up being an iPhone comment douche. Please forgive me in advance.



I like this much much more on review. For some reason I really didn't like it when I first watched it. This was probably due to Sam Rockwell playing Zaphod Beeblebrox (I can spell this off the top of my head and often misspell definite) as a human and my weird feelings about Mickey Rourke's catlady face.

I also have a weird thing about people named Ivan allowing English speakers to call them IH-vahn instead of correcting them. I hate being called Casey, so it's some kind of empathy I have for people whose names are so often mispronounced. Why does Ivan not chain smoke, also?

SLJ has grown on me as Fury. I love the scene with hungover Tony and Fury. They both cracked me up. The comic flare of the donut squatting rang annoying at first but then on reflection--it's a comic panel.

Did Howard Stark get recast because of Mad Men? I figure it must have been a filming conflict, but it could also be so that Howard looks more like Tony.

I don't get why they spike RDL's hair up so much aside from trying to make him look taller as he's super cute with his hair flat and curly.

I will admit that ScraJo is super hot, but she still really can't act. Please don't shun me. I appreciate her silhouette, but she needs some acting lessons. Maybe Tom Hardy can help?

The costumes for the women were amaaaaaaaaazing in this. Damn. I love all the structured shoulders and asymmetrical bodice lines. Very well done. Pepper just looks fantastic all the time.

I like Don Cheadle more than the Hustle and Fl0w guy.


Hats off to people who can write Tony dialogue. Oy.

I agree she does well in the Hulk scene, but my view is more of a perspective based on her other work. However, I agree to disagree as well, so we're solid.

You should totally rewatch it. I was shocked at how much I liked it on second go.

Urg, too much plastic surgery. But in his case I think he had a bad motorcycle accident or something?

He flipped the finger to Hollywood and took up boxing. Not... very successfully. And then a series of plastic surgeries to fix the damage went really, really wrong.
