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.
I know the article about "Stop Trying to Kill RDJ" mentioned that Tony Stark is quite the alcoholic.
There's a part of me that hoping/believing that Jon Favreau was able to direct RDJ in such a way as to bring out the performance he needed without pushing RDJ to that addict place in his brain.
And they're saving the alcoholism for the sequel, so it's going to be worse in the next movie.

Maybe they'll cover that fun part of his life when he was homeless b/c of the alcoholism.
(One of my favorite reviews of Iron Man said that, given how much Tony Stark drinks throughout the movie, they expected the Iron Man suit to come with retractable cupholders.)
I'm hoping Favreau will direct the next movie, too. If there's any director in Hollywood who could *maybe* direct RDJ into a ragin alcoholic place without pushing RDJ into actual alcoholism, Favreau would probably be that guy.
Everything I've heard about Favreau is that he's a really nice, caring guy, who cares about his cast and crew, and would not to see anyone hurt.

I don't think there's any question of that.

Every time I read his name, my first reaction is: Vegas, baby, VEGAS!!!!
I can't help it.
It's not a New Line movie, is it?

I still haven't seen that movie.

There's no more New Line, is there?
And actually, this was Marvel Studios' first film. I imagine they're quite relieved.

Dude. Go, rent it. Now. I'll wait.
Swingers also has an awesometastic soundtrack. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy FTW!
I recognized Favreau as the driver/bodyguard of Tony's in the movie, and apparently his character is supposed to be Happy Hogan. A-ha! Pretty sly of him to cast himself as the guy who eventually gets The Girl.
