The week before finals, naturally not a lot of classes are going to have tons to do other than review, or, rather, give us the rundown of what you need to review for. Funny that my first and earliest class of the day also ended up having the shortest runtime, so I found myself with 3 1/2 hours to kill. Naturally the only thing to do is cruise up to the movie theater and see Iron Man 2 again, amirite?
Good.
Just as the previews are starting, I get a call from brother mine asking me where I am, and who answers "the movie theater" when you're supposed to be in class, a week before finals?
"In class, John," said I, using my Unimpressed Sibling voice.
He stutters a bit, then says, "Alright, just checking in. See ya later." And hangs up.
My windshield wipers are messed with and sticking in odd directions when I get back to my car, with a note reading "John was here", lol. Can't get away with much where my brother is concerned XD cool story bro, I know.
Anyways, I wish I had a HD screencap hoard for IM2 as I do for the first one, because all the manipulated holographs and engineering pr0nz just appeals to my techie heart. In a weird way, it's like the physicality of the tech, within the context of the movie, makes it more believable that this kind of stuff will be possible in the future, non? If it ever does happen, things would just look freaking cool XD
take a moment to gape uncontrollably at RDJ's big pretty eyes
and me at this point, I'm like hhhhnnnnngggg, technology *drool*
they way Favreau decided to shift the camera and have the holograms follow Tony's eye/face is pretty ingenious, have to say
okay, that flash is damn clever, idgaf
whee!
I'm pretty interested to see if the type tangibility introduced in IM can be brought to the other Marvel films, particularly Thor, since he's easily the most supernatural out of the Avengers. You wouldn't think that a Norse god of thunder could logically exist in the same space as the tech-driven Tony Stark in a way that won't give people in the movieverse pause, much less the audience. I'm sure Captain America's transformation via the super soldier program is a lot easier to buy than and actualfax god. Even a radioactive spider bite :P
For more funtimes: the Dude took a bunch of pictures while on the set of the first Iron Man movie, and kindly posted them right here for our enjoyment :D
lastly, unrelated to the Iron Man spam, I am obsessed with this song, and not just because I want to live in Chicago. Gorgeous song *happy sigh*

Ugh, I'm not even a particularly tech-oriented person, but I LOVE those parts of the IM movies. I can just sit there and gape and realize that, if such technology existed, I would clearly be just as inept as I am now. This, and Minority Report.

It might just be because I'm young and grew up with compies and whatnot that I feel like I could totally do stuff like this when it comes around--and by "do" I mean learn to use it, not necessarily make it. oh god no, I don't have that kind of engineering know-how. Like, the learning curve might be crazy but IT LOOKS COOL AND I'M A NERD OKAY.
Oh man, I totally forgot about Minority Report! Sweet, now I can geek out some more *digs around in dvd collection*
