Don't worry Cole23 I knew what you meant. Although I was kinda hoping your real name was Neil...

Still very dangerous to even suggest a thing. Thanks for the link. that has really tickled me. I might have to start the new year by annoying my friends with constant retorts of:

"Why do you say these things to me , when you know I will kill you for it.."

Great link. Thanks

Happy New Year.

Minority report: I found myself really put off by Iron Man's cavalier attitude toward killing. That shot when he killed 10 terr'sts with 10 li'l rockets coming out of his shoulders was, I suppose, badass--but damn! Can you say "unequal warfare?" They didn't have a chance. It wasn't a fight, it was an execution, y'see what I mean? I mean it was a freakin' embodiment of what Western Power has done in that part of the world for centuries. Left a really bad taste in my mouth. If you have that kind of power over your enemy, would it kill ya to find a less lethal method of TOTAL DOMINATION? Yeesh.

And why is it that superheroes so often end up fighting a wannabe version of themselves for the climax? It's hack work. Hack metaphysics. The lame.

Me, I liked The Shadow. I mean, Jonathan Winters, c'mon! Batman Returns was highly underrated. And X-men was written by Joss, fer cryin' out-loud! Oh and Batman Begins was an instant classic. After the smoke clears, Dark Knight was plain incoherent. Remove Ledger from the equation and it just falls apart.

They look pretty pissed to me, Chris. I'd start editing or start running, if I were you.

Hey, hey, hey, don't be mean. We don't have to be mean, because, remember, no matter where you go, there you are.

Iron Man was good, and very entertaining, but it was sooooo rote and by-the-numbers that there's no way I'd call it the best ever. It's incredibly predictable, and lifts the structure of Batman Begins pretty shamelessly. It's solid, but without a great lead performance from Downey Jr, it wouldn't be half the movie it is.

I still consider The Dark Knight, Batman Begins, X-Men 2, and Spider-Man 2 better examples of the genre.

"I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him."
