Say, didn't you just love Edward Norton in Louis Leterrier's overblown summer spectacle The Incredible Hulk? Are you still filling various message boards with your biased, poorly-written fanboy scribblings on Robert Downey, Jr.'s role as Tony Stark in John Favreau's big-budget masterpiece Iron Man? I bet you are. Here's the rub: Before they became synonymous with Thu, 03 Jul 2008 14:37:00 GMT http://www.wikio.com/search/Tony+Stark?rinfoid=62896226 2008-07-03T14:37:00Z http://www.wikio.com/search/Tony+Stark?rinfoid=62682203 Sit back, kiddies and kiddettes, and let ol' Uncle Bully tell you a story about an older time, a simpler time, a better time, when Pepperidge Farm cookies roamed the plains and prairies, when comic books only had four colors and when Tony Stark wasn't (so much of) a jerk. In these long-ago, far-away days, the internet was just the gleam in the eye of that bright tyke little Alvin Gore, and email? Pfui . Didn't exist! You could pony up your wheat pennies and silver dollars at the old Western Union to send a telegram or, as Grampa Bull used to call it, "a word whistle," or better yet, hitch up old Dobbin to the buckboard and whinny on down to Mr. Drucker's General Store and Post Office, where for a mere three shiny pennies, an acorn and a whittlin' stick, you could buy yourself a glossy new first class postage stamp to stick on an envelope so you could write Ida Lou out on the farm in Oklahoma, or maybe send away for that feed catalogue you saw advertised in the back of The Farmer's Almanac , or maybe...just maybe...you could write a letter to your favorite comic book magazine. Yes, before everyone and his little stuffed bull had a comic book blog to compain about Final Crisis and the size of Power Girl's breasts, you had to mail a letter into a comic book to write about it, and we liked it that way . Altho' Mister Stan Lee didn't invent letter columns, writing to comics was all the rage once the Marvel Age of Comics got underway in the Swingin' Sixties. Why, writing to Smilin' Stan and King Jack was as popular a pastime in the 1960s as challenging the establishment, burning your bra, and hanging out at the Coffee-a-Go-Go listening to the hep rhythms of Bernard the Poet. The comic book letter columns are mostly gone from Marvel Comics (with the exception of Three Times Monthly Spider-Man , which reinstituted them recently during "Brand New Day"). But while they lasted, it was a Golden Age for the fans. That was the beauty of it all: the sheer democracy of the system. Anybody could see their name in print, anybody could have their letter published if they wrote a missive that amused or intrigued the Marvel gophers or editors (or if they wrote during a month nobody else wrote in). Why, even early on, look at the common folk fans who were writing into Fantastic Four , a guy just like you an' me who got his letter published in FF #4: Of course, that magazine, and that letter-writer, soon vanished and were never to be heard from again . Naw, jus' kiddin'. Here's s'more letters to the Fantastic Four Fan Page from folks who would one day make a name for themselves in the world o' comics: Gerry Conway! (FF #50) Denny O'Neil! (FF #53) Tony Isabella! (FF #74) Don McGregor! (FF #80) Alan Kupperberg! (FF #101) J. M. DeMatteis! (FF #101) Mike W. Barr! (FF #131) Jill Thompson! (FF #246) And some guy by the name o' Stan ... (FF #269) Huh. That guy's going nowhere in this business.

Our hero is an anti-hero… drunk, smug, angry, selfish, and powerful. But unlike Tony Stark, his story starts to turn not when he is beaten into a change of perspective but because there is something going on inside of him that is clearly aware of an ambivalence about his behavior. Even as he “saves the day” and screws up massively in the process, causing tens of millions in damage as he “helps,” one gets the feeling in the audience that he is a bit of a fuck-up, but also a bit willful about being lazy and missing the mark, like a teenager who has grown into the body of an adult but who hasn’t gotten over the itchy need to show everyone that now “I am a man!” Just thinking about one of Hancock's destructive take-offs (destroying a bus bench and leaving a massive hole in the cement it was screwed into) or landings (leaving car-sized holes in streets)… can anyone who has dealt with a brooding teen male be unable to imagine that kid taking off and landing exactly like that. “Stop playing with the X-Box and save that damned busload of children!” “Damn it! Why are you always interrupting me before I get to the next level!” SLAMMM… through the roof… another destroyed TV set… The rest... The spoiler review is due sometime tonight...

Local Website: www.imdb.com/title/tt0371746/ Plot: Action | Adventure | Drama | Romance | Sci-Fi | Thriller Tony Stark is the complete playboy who also happens to be an engineering genius. While in Afghanistan demonstrating a new missile he's captured and wounded. His captors want him to assemble a missile for them but instead he creates an armored suit and a means to prevent his death from the shrapnel left in his chest by the attack. He uses the armored suit to escape. Back in the U.S. he announces his company will cease making weapons and he begins work on an updated armored suit only to find that Obadiah Stane, his second in command at Stark industries has been selling Stark weapons to the insurgents. He uses his new suit to return to Afghanistan to destroy the arms and then to stop Stane from misusing his research.

Not for kids, for sure: I'd say rated "T" for Teen at least (very intense scenes and war violence [no splatter]). However, it was pitch-perfect, and Downey was classic as Tony Stark. The big surprise for me was Jeff bridges as Obediah Stane. Anyway, two thumbs up, not a big disappointment like the last Superman movie, and it leaves the door open for a lot of other cool stuff from marvel in the "Ultimate" universe category. There are no spoilers. Go see it. UPDATED : I'm looking for the person who can get me a high-res image of Stark's workshop in the scene where he's taking off the armor after he saves the Afgani village. When he looks over his shoulder at Pepper Potts, there's a workbench behind him, and I think Captian America's shield is on that bench. Go find me the HI RES version of that scene.

Jon Favreau revealed the Avengers line-up Marvel was currently toying with: "The ones Marvel is talking about now are Captain America, Hulk, Thor, Ant-Man and Iron Man. I would love to see that." (And no, he hasn't been confirmed as The Avengers director. The possibility isn't even brought up in this article.) Of course, what this means for Edgar Wright and Joe Cornish's Ant-Man movie is anyone's guess. Marvel's goal is to get The Avengers in theatres by 2011, by which point Thor and Captain America will have gotten their solo origin movies. But will Ant-Man have gotten his? Wright is busy with Scott Pilgrim , which is due to be released in 2009. Could he get Ant-Man off the ground in time for him to join Earth's mightiest heroes? So many questions!

You know, hanging with Carrie and the girls. Shoe shopping, giggling, brunching. Kind of makes your head hurt, doesn't it? Now picture her playing Tony Stark's dutiful assistant in "Iron Man." Or Bruce Banner's long-suffering love interest in "The Incredible Hulk." Not much easier, right? No, Jolie is in a category all her own - and she's nobody's best girlfriend. Just in the nick of time, this real-life superhero is here to rescue us from a summer movie season monopolized by testosterone and handbags. In Timur Bekmambetov's Matrixy thriller "Wanted," out Friday, Jolie is in top form: lean, scowling, firing big guns at bad guys - and not exactly taking it easy on the good guy, either. Watching the film, you get the feeling that Jolie intimidated every male actor around her, and she probably did - as critic Pauline Kael once said of her, "this girl would scare the crap out of Jack Nicholson in 'Cuckoo's Nest.'" So why isn't she getting more lead action roles? In "Wanted," Jolie plays Fox, an assassin in a league known as the Fraternity (oh, the symbolism!). Plot-wise, she's not exactly in the driver's seat; Fox is charged with shaping James McAvoy's wimpy office-drone character into the hero he'll eventually become. It's a plum role, but not a starring one. Sun, 22 Jun 2008 13:43:29 GMT http://www.wikio.com/search/Tony+Stark?rinfoid=61527806 2008-06-22T13:43:29Z
