6 Reasons to like Iron Man

By
I liked it for 6 reasons



1. Robert Downey Jr.- He made Tony Stark who I've usually found to be a total a-hole into a pimp. The first part of the movie that Tony is driving fast cars, and hooking up with hot women was pimp. I could watch a whole pre iron man Tv series of Tony Stark being a player if Robert Downey Jr. starred in it.
   

2. Jeff Bridges - "The dude abides". I love the Big Lebowski and I love Jeff Bridges and his facial hair steals the show from Robert Downey Jr.'s. He was lovable at the start and menacing at the ends. This is almost a movie about a beard vs. a goattee. 



3. The 10 Rings - I like the subtle Mandarin references. I wish it had been played up a little more like maybe the terrorist leader was collecting the rings and Obidiah gave him one or something.  

4. Terrence Howard - He was cool, in control, and altogether affable. I can't wait to see him rock some armor.

 

5. The Psuedo science - The psuedo sience was strong. I like the idea of the shrapnel being magnetically repulsed from his heart. I don't think that's the case currently but I may be wrong becuase I'm not all that well read on Iron Man.

6.  Nick Fury's lines- He told tony he's part of a Universe. That is something to be a happy about. Also for some reason my brother thinks that The Incredible Hulk will have an Iron Man cameo and similar Nick Fury scene, I hope he's right.

Every time that Jeff Bridges was on screen, I wanted someone to be bowling or for Sam Eliot to show up and provide some narration.

COMICBOOK REVIEW: Garfield's Pet Force 2014 Special

Time for a comicbook review of an unusual comic for me. Every once in a while at the comic shop, I may feel particularly random. Something odd may call to me from the shelves. This comic is one such oddity. Garfield's Pet Force 2014 Special jam-packed with two epic Garfield's Pet Force stories. What is Garfield's Pet Force? I had no idea. I'm familiar with the concept of Oddie and Garfield and watched the cartoon a few times as a kid. I wouldn't consider myself a Garfield fan in the slightest. This comic may have changed my mind on the lasagna loving cat, though. Garfield's Petforce is Garfield as a superhero named Garzooka. Garzooka leads the Pet Force which is made up of his cartoon friends who have their own superpowers and dorky names. The stories are written by Scott Nickel. The first one is called "Cat-astrophe in the Cosmos" with pencils by Gary Barker and George Lane the third, inks were done by Mark and Stephanie Heike. The story s...

-Can we officially shut the fuck up about Jake Locker now? I don't care if he was playing the Pittsburgh Steelers, 4-20 for 71 yards, a TD, and 2 INTs is unacceptable. If you take away a 45 yard TD strike to Jermaine Kearse, he was 3-19 for 26 yards and 2 INTs. He's got lots of talent and I'm sure he's a perfectly decent kid but the idea that Locker is the ultimate prospect in this year's NFL Draft is inexplicable. His Heisman campaign is obviously deader than dead at this point and I see no reason that he won't be the next Tim Couch. -Here's a random one: Kansas is down 31-10 to Southern Miss...they score a touchdown with 5:17 left in the game...and go for two?! Uh...what? Who did the math on that one? What possible scenario are they planning for? Are they planning cut the deficit to 13 instead of 14 in hopes that, in the event that they have to settle for two field goals at some point, they can still tie the game (with the addition of another touch...
