The set of Iron Man 3 has released some photos. It looks like it’s the first Marvel to be released after the craze of The Avengers. With one of their first released photos, we see Tony Stark looking upon the many suits he’s made during his trilogy [about to technically be a quadrilogy]. Yahoo! has compiled the back story and appearance of these seven suits in a neat gallery. Be sure to check out the link below.

The people at Uproxx [which is a lot of people I might add, they maintain several websites], hilariously came up with how Robert Downey Jr. has created some of the most memorable characters in the past 3-4 years. It’s quite unfortunate that recently, he’s too busy making sequels for these multimillion dollar franchises rather stepping out and creating more characters as unique as Kirk Lazarus or any other of his eccentric and likable characters. The man is highly talented and I can’t wait to see what he comes to do next.

My Favorite Comedy and Why: Tropic Thunder
Posted in Articles, Movies, tagged Ben Stiller, Commentary, Director, Jack Black, Movies, Robert Downey Jr, Tropic Thunder, War on November 10, 2011| 3 Comments »
When people ask me what my favorite movie of all time is, I give them a look of stupidity and pretension and then go into an arrogant monologue saying that I’ve seen so many movies that you’d have to divide them up into genres to truly tell you what my favorite from each one. It’s usually at that point where they’re so taken back by my blind arrogance that they default to the only genre they can relate to: comedy.
Lol, jk, that actually doesn’t happen as much as I let on, but what I mean to aim at is when people ask me what my favorite comedy is and more than often I’ll always say Tropic Thunder. Tropic Thunder delivers itself as a comedy in two different ways, based on its audience. To the eyes of a culturally ignorant, Tropic Thunder is decent comedy with its most memorable moment is Jack Black saying he’ll suck Brandon T. Jackson’s dic* if he cuts him down from the tree. Hardee-f*cking-Har. To the eyes of those who have a decent understanding of the Hollywood industry, Tropic Thunder is a pinata full of scathing satire, irreplaceable performances, and deep, well-thoughtout jokes. After the jump lies a breakdown of how this movie literally splits my sides every time I watch it and how moments that might have seemed confusing and irrelevant are actually this movie’s brightest gems.
