It's a date! I'll be there in 5 hours.
I gave her everything... jewels, beautiful dresses -- with beautiful girls in them.

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.

Iron Man could only be a villain in that world.
Do I not understand this because I don't know Iron Man well enough or because I don't know The Incredibles well enough. I only saw the Incredibles on TV while doing chores. Does "your superpowers come from your equipment" = villain in that world? I know being stuck as the sidekick was what had pushed the villain over the edge. But from what I remember of the movie, there was not actually anything stopping him from going off and fighting "for justice, and for the safety of puppies" - other than being bugfuck crazy. (There was the whole liability thing, but that applied to all superheroes in the Incredibleverse. )

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I finally watched Six Degrees of Separation. Young Will Smith is yummy and oh-so-talented but I think this one got talked up a bit much for me. It felt like a stage play that was in love with itself.

Which hasn't stopped me from attempting to piss off fans who are also fans of The Incredibles by pointing out that Iron Man could only be a villain in that world.
Bwah! How dare he build an armored suit that allows him to act like a superhero? Doesn't he know his proper place is making costumes and other tech for special people born with their powers to tear up?

I always thought of Iron Man as an analog for Batman. Brilliant rich guy with a need to dress up and play.

I always got Iron Man mixed up with Voltron.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Hey. New board.

This.
Which begs the question: what's the closest Marvel equivalent to Superman? Way too much power for no reason other than being an alien? Also, boring?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Here's my question: I think anyone who turns himself into a superhero (as opposed to radiation/interplantary travel/whatever accident of fate) has got to be some kind of psycho. What say you people?
