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 haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
I just watched "The Soloist", which I mostly did not like, but that also left me too unsettled to mock properly. But I will say it's um, heartwarming, how well RDJ fills out an old pair of jeans.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Hey, some women like explosions and robots and stuff.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
There were explosions and robots and stuff? I'm still back on RDJ building a particle accelerator by hand in a tank undershirt. All I need.
Oh, and Don Cheadle ain't bad, either.

It's an entire favored genre: Things Blow Up!
Much more satisfying than "chick flicks". Gah.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Anyone remember on the Chris Rock Show about 10-ish years ago, they had a preview for a fake movie called "Explosions" or somesuch. About a cop who investigates a series of explosions. Then his wife leaves him, telling him he cares more about the explosions than her. But then she tries to start her car and gets killed in an explosion.
Um... it was funny - I'm just forgetting some of the funny bits.

I remember that Danger Theater anthology series back in the 90s where the split-screen intro to all the rotating shows synced up to end with MacGruber-style explosions in each one.

Somewhat spoilery Iron Man II review: [link]
Here's something interesting:
So, let's take another look here at the two things which set the tone for this entire film: The Death of Anton Vanko, in his son's arms--Vanko, Sr. being the man whose work on the Arc Reactor helped Howard Stark become the man he was, but who received none of the credit--directly followed by the Grand Entrance of Tony Stark, at Stark Expo to the tune of AC/DC's "Shoot To Thrill." Do you get it? Vanko, broken and alone? Stark, triumphant and surrounded by admirers, through ill-gotten gains? AC/DC? This is Son of Tesla versus Son of Edison, with the fight for recognition, for legacy, for fulfilling a father's dreams, played out on a grand, violent scale. It is subtle but completely intentional, and we even get the joy of seeing some mad-scientist-on-mad-scientist laboratory action, here, though not nearly enough. More on that later.
