    I would actually go so far to say that Iron Man 3's bad guy was the best bad guy we've seen in a Marvel movie and yes that includes Loki
    I suppose it depends on what you mean, but Loki was a rather ineffectual villain. His plans crumbled to dust because of a combination of incompetence and overwhelming arrogance. I will say that he is the most entertaining and memorable Marvel movie villain, though. Killian succeeded in being the kind of guy I would most want to punch in the face.

    I can't believe we're discussing the dynamics of baby crushing
    Really? That isn't even the dumbest conversation we've had in the past week.

    Yeah, infants and toddlers are surprisingly tough. There's a reason our species has a 9 month gestation period.

    it should be longer but every single human is born premature because otherwise their heads would be too large to make it out of the womb, which explains why human babies take so long to develop vital motor skills while other mammals like horses produce young that are up and walking within hours of birth?

    CBS News local anchor interviews Jim Lee about Free Comic Book Day and Man of Steel: “It seems like they’re all sort of drawn the same way, but you actually have different people doing these drawings?”

    And later her son and that nut were best friends and got milkshakes together.

    Remember the concern in some circles when it was announced that this would be to some extent co-produced with China and furthermore there would be a special cut just for the Chinese market and there were worries as to how the movie as a whole might be influenced

    and then as it turned out the China-exclusive scenes totaled up to a handful of extra shots which were not only entirely superfluous but also mostly product placement for a Chinese electronics manufacturer
  • Undead ScottsmanUndead Scottsman Puts his name on his helicoptor.. ..so everyone knows it's his.Registered User regular
    I still hope the chinese stuff is included on the blu-ray special features.

    the chinese scenes are apparently hilariously out of place
    personaqn.png
  • Grey GhostGrey Ghost Registered User regular
    No, seriously
    Specifically, they've decried those Chinese sequences for serving primarily as product placement for Chinese electronics manufacturer TCL—this in addition to a graphic that opens the film by asking the question “What does Iron Man rely on to revitalize his energy?” with the answer being “Gu Li Duo,” a local milk drink. (In other words, it’s a crummy commercial.)

    Elsewhere, the heavily promoted appearance of popular actor Wang Xueqi is reduced to just a handful of fleeting moments, with Wang’s Dr. Wu meeting Tony Stark near the beginning, later attempting to reach Stark by telephone while Iron Man is fleetingly glimpsed on the (TCL) television behind him, and finally, performing surgery while having a short conversation with his assistant, played by Chinese superstar Fan Bingbing. This is more than Dr. Wu gets in the international cut, of course, where he’s reduced to around 10 seconds of barely noticeable screen time. Still, it’s hardly the “complex, challenging,” and significant role Wang made Dr. Wu out to be when discussing why he took it.

    Iron Man 1's Burger King product placement is some of the best I've ever seen

    Arrested Development's is pretty good too

    Burger King's on top of that shit

    It sure is!
  • existexist Registered User regular
    Breaking Bad's car product placement is pretty great. The stuff they did was Rage wasssssssssss a little hokey.

    Iron Man 1's Burger King product placement is my ideal product placement for all things

    It's fairly organic and doesn't really bring you out of the movie, and it grounds the whole thing.
