Weird...the image isn't showing up for me.

Here, so hopefully anyone else who can't see it can:



GREATEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME

I have to admit that I'm a little worried that Favreau may have let Mickey Roarke be a little too Mickey Roarke, if you know what I mean.

I'm digging Mickey Rourke's comeback, truly great performance in The Wrestler. That said, his accent in this does seem perhaps... a little bit, I don't know... we'll see. :P

But yeah, this movie looks awesome, I'm pumped. More than anything else, having Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury in a prominent role is more than enough to make this rock. That one brief scene in Iron Man is so memorably badass, it'll be great to see him on the warpath.

And of course, Scarlett looking hot, Robert Downey Jr. delivering the goods, Pepper Potts (best name), and hopefully an epic ending leading into the further Avengers flicks.

Agreed.  He was friggin' ROBBED of his Oscar.  Don't get me wrong, Sean Penn was great in Milk, but Rourke outdid him in The Wrestler.

Don't forget they ditched the shitty composer who did the score for the first movie and replaced him with John Debney for this movie  - who's been tweeting about working with Tom Morello on the score. The music in this movie is gonna be 50 times more epic than the music for the last film. I can't wait.

I don't really remember the music in the last film...maybe that's why it's considered bad?

I didn't have any problem with the music in Iron Man. It wasn't particularly memorable, though. But Tom Morello? Sweet! (So long as he leaves that stupid plastic stringed acoustic guitar at home...)

The Incredible Hulk had an excellent score.

Well, you can apparently listen to some of the new score excerpts on the site now: http://ironmanmovie.marvel.com/ Sounds great.

ScarJo should be seen, not heard.

So the most generic rock riff ever will now be... slightly less generic?

QuoteThe Incredible Hulk had an excellent score.
Don't recall any of that, actually, except that the "Hulk theme" was uninspired and forgetable. "Dun-na-na-na" from Iron Man was more memorable.

I could listen to a recording of Scarlett Johannsen reading the dictionary and it'd still be hot.  She has one of the most attractive voices ever.

Seriously?  I'm assuming you're not referring to the "Hitchiking theme" that they referenced?

No, I mean the portamentoed, vaguely and pointlessly Eastern "Hulk Theme" that didn't really get a focus in the movie.

That statement, sir, implies an upper limit on the appropriate amount of Mickey Roarke, an assertion with which I must take umbrage.   :)

It's so hard to beleive that the Mickey Rourke of the Wrestler and Iron Man 2 is the same guy from 9 1/2 weeks

Tripe

I don't know, he's obviously given his face a good hard screwing.

:D  Why the cockatoo? Has Mickey tired of toting tiny dogs around on set? Does he build a tiny suit of armor for the bird? OH GOD I HOPE HE BUILDS A TINY SUIT OF ARMOR FOR THE BIRD!
