In another half hour I'll have been up for twenty-four

Somehow that sounds like song lyrics.

Anyway, the point of this post is that I went to see Iron Man 2 despite my hellish day and it was pretty swell. I have no major complaints about the story, but a few nitpicky ones. RDJ played assholish alcoholic Tony as awesomely as ever. Rhodey was good, and I was worried cause I fear change. And Scarlett Johansson was oddly thin looking, but overall not bad.

So CnC, any of you been to see it and have thoughts to share with the class?

To innocent bystanders, beware that if you get me talking there will probably be spoilers. Sorry. Just sort of happens.

TRUST ME YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE CANON WHIPLASH.

REALLY.

kshdjfkjdshfsd no i'm just. afraid that with only the movie (and possibly the novelization) to go on, Ivan would kinda turn into a borderline OC and... yeah.

But oh god, how great would it be to have a giant tattooed Russian with a weakness for cockatiels trying to electrowhip Mothchan.

[liverletdie]

AMAZING THAT'S WHAT.

Oh pfff, don't worry about that though! I think he's got enough going on him for that.

Better than

THIS.

HE IS BETTER THAN THE DUDE WITH BDSM GEAR

lol oh god just trying to imagine Ivan sauntering down the city streets with his whips, like, "hey, how are you doing, awesome, by the way I AM VERY ANGRY AT TONY STARK"

[liverletdie]

YEAH

YEAH

Have I mentioned that Tony's villains suck so much balls?

One of them is called, I kid you not, the UNICORN. :||

MOVIE IVAN IS A STEP UP SOB

[taughttolisten.livejournal.com]

are you even

really? my first impulse is to go NO YOU ARE MAKING THAT UP

but then i wikipedia'd his rogues gallery.

[liverletdie]

YEAH.

YEAH.

For an A lister? Tony's villains are horrid.

[taughttolisten.livejournal.com]

Seriously, it looks like his best villain is alcoholism. Problematic. :/

[liverletdie]

It waaas.

Although the Mandarin is actually quite good. Tried to kill like 97% of the world's populace and almost succeeded, until Tony cut off his foot.

Cockatoos.

Cockatiels are the little ones that look like Pikachu as a bird.

[taughttolisten.livejournal.com]

derf those.

SEE THIS IS THE OTHER REASON I CAN'T PLAY HIM, I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET HIM HIS PROPER BIRD :(

and if ivan doesn't have his bird he can't make you an army of kamikaze drone robots for blowing up Flushing

[superspeeds]

I only know cause I had a cockatiel growing up, thus I'm rather fond of them.

And that was truly the most exciting thing to happen to Flushing since the world's fair.
