    Saw the end credits montage again, and I noticed it solidifies
    the fact that the Mandarin never shot anyone - there's a brief clip of the CEO he executes getting up from the floor lookin very confused.

    Presumably to be dragged into a different room and shot.

    The latest trailer for Man Of Steel was before my showing of IM3.

    I think it looks brilliant. There seems to be such a hopeful vibe to it.

    I did appreciate the references to Roxxon, though I might be the only one.

    They were also referenced in the "A Funny Thing Happened on the way to Thor's Hammer" so it's nice to see some outer continuity being built up in this universe.

    Plus, Roxxon is a great way to shit on oil companies without pissing off a specific oil company in particular.

    Roxxon was also in Iron Man 2 as one of the sponsors of the Monaco race

    Other things I really liked:
    The subversion of "We need to keep the hero alive because" stuff.

    Tony was kept alive because they wanted to leverage his genius into their program, otherwise he'd be dead like the gal that invented Extremis. Pepper was kept alive as both a trophy and to get Tony to cooperate.

    Rhodes was going to be killed if Tony didn't come in to fuck everyone's day up.

    The President's men were all dead, and the President didn't die only because he had to die in public view, in a big dramatic Mandarin performance piece.

    You didn't go "Why doesn't he just kill him!" Because it was pretty clear either why he didn't kill them straight away or he just plain tried to kill them.

    Notice how they were all about killing Tony right up until they captured Pepper? Then suddenly they capture him and are going to get him to 'fix' Extremis?

    There was also a building with a big Roxxon sign on it in the background of the freeway fight in IM.

    why are people acting like Michael Bay's TMNT somehow could not be a giant pile of shit

    He isn't directing, and its possible fan outcry could keep some of his worst habits at bay.

    So it won't be as bad as he were to direct. Fan outcry didn't do shit for the Transformers movies.

    Grey Hulk is basically a more intelligent variant of the Hulk, right?

    Yes. He also became a hitman for the mafia.

    Man, some of you are shitting on Michael Bay.

    Which is understandable.

    But that same man gave us The Rock.

    He gave us The Rock and let us never forget it.

    His list of movies post-The Rock is pretty uninspiring. Armageddon, his next movie, was probably the last halfway decent thing he's done.

    It was also a really bad villain choice. It's hard to feel good about what's happening on the screen most of the time.

    Aside from Connery and Cage, I actually don't get the hype behind The Rock. Like it's fun, yeah, but nothing stands out to me as much.

    I can't even remember the damn plot to it.

    His directing efforts have been declining in quality for years and he wasn't that great a director to begin with.

    Nic Cage and Connery delivered good performance but ehhh

    gotta say Cage deliberately not cursing was a good choice

    I thought The Island was enjoyable. Pain and Gain sounds good too. Basically, everything he's done that's not giant robot related has been decent to good.

    Judge Ferrer presided over the trials of the Sun Gym gang (described in the book and film, Pain & Gain).On July 17, 1998, more than three years after the murders were committed, Judge Ferrer sentenced Daniel Lugo and Adrian Doorbal. Each received two death sentences for the murders of Frank Griga and Krisztina Furton, and consecutive sentences for the other crimes for which they had been convicted
