Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
But it's a comic book movie -- what's it supposed to say? Other than "Buy Marvel Comics!"?

Both myself and the DH loved Iron Man. The one niggle I had was the horrifyingly stereotyped Afghans having to be saved by a white guy. But other than that - love.
I really think it wouldn't have been half the film without Robert Downey Jr. Gwyneth Paltrow was much better than I was expecting too.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I can sort of see what you're saying except I don't care because it was AWESOME AND BADASS.
And the scene at the end of the credits was unbelievably flailtastic.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
Iron Man: stay to the end of the closing credits.
This!

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Oh yes.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I really enjoyed it right up to the point where Jeff Bridges revealed his extra sinster designed-by-Rob-Liefeld power armor and decided everything would turn out hunky-dory if he could just kill the federal agents sent to arrest him and murder his business partner while rampaging through a busy thoroughfare. But the post-credits bit made up for that.
A certain someone's presence in the Indy 4 trailer ensured that I will buy a ticket no matter what I hear about the movie.

And the scene at the end of the credits was unbelievably flailtastic.
There was a small joygasm from the nerdy assemblage at my showing. (I... um... had to come home and look things up on the internet, because I didn't get it.)

Me and small contingent of others cheered mightily at the scene!
I was also thrilled to finally hear Black Sabbath's music at the end! I also lovedTony's relationship with his robots. It reminded me of Dr. Venture and Helper.
