Iron Man 2 Is Coming, Hopefully With Improvements
It was my favorite superhero movie of last year (it was so fun), and I'm anxiously awaiting its sequel to hit the big screen next year. Heck yeah I'm excited for Iron Man 2, but I'm not sure how I feel about another video game installment, given what happened last time. You know what I mean.
Daily Tech: New Nintendo DSi Won't be Making US Debut Til 2009
- Nintendo's new portable gaming console, the DSi, which comes with a built-in camera, won't be coming to the US until well into the 2009 calendar year since the current DS Lite is still selling like hot cakes. — Joystiq

Behind the Scenes at ILM: The Making of Iron Man
When I took my tour of ILM studios a few weeks back, I was lucky enough to get some behind-the-scenes info on the special effects and animation that went into making Iron Man; straight from the guys who worked on it. Unfortunately for me that only made it harder to wait until I could own my very own copy of the Summer blockbuster!
A small group of us got a special Q&A session with Ben Snow (VFX Supervisor), Hal Hickel (Animation Supervisor), and Aaron McBride (Art Director, who by the way is pretty much John Krasinski's twin, but with longer hair — this made it very hard to pay attention), and got some fun details on the Iron Man suit, the flying sequences, and how cool it was to work with director John Favreau.
Yay or Nay: Comics Turned Movies?
With the HUGE success of The Dark Knight last weekend (and I do mean huge), it seems that graphic novels and comics turned movies are bigger than ever. Buzz (and Brian) agree with my opinion that Iron Man was one of the best super-hero movies to hit the theaters ever, and the newly released trailer for the Watchmen has me all giddy in anticipation for March! Adding to the already expanding list of comic book movies in the pipeline including Conan the Barbarian, The Justice League, and G.I.
Iron Man Review: It's All About the Flying
I'll admit it, I have a geek crush on Iron Man. And, I adore his geeky-but-hot alter ego Tony Stark, who has a lab straight out of every geeks' daydreams with computers, gadgets, and hot cars (most likely equipped with some high-tech GPS) galore. Even the phone he carries is totally geek chic!
Even Iron Man's Vista Lets Him Down
Tony Stark may be a smart man, but why oh why would he build a computer with Windows Vista? I guess the superhero-Iron Man combo doesn't guarantee a foolproof computer! Here's a clip from the movie we just couldn't help but "re-create."
Picture Perfect Tech: Cell Phones in Iron Man
This past weekend I finally checked out the big tech-filled blockbuster of the year — Iron Man! Robert Downey Jr. does a fantastic job playing super-brilliant inventor Tony Stark, who builds a high-tech suit of armor that can do just about anything and everything. Downey's friend and personal assistant Pepper Potts is played by the beautiful Gwyneth Paltrow, who also adorns some high-tech treats throughout the film.
Iron Maiden Gwyneth and The Future of Fashion!
What if Tony Stark had been Antonia Stark and Gwyneth Paltrow was the one suiting up in Iron Man, out today? The film would probably look like Vogue's spread with cover girl Gwyneth Paltrow — real props from Marvel complement couture gowns and elaborate wiring that's as much her power as it is her accessory. Check out the slideshow for the whole Gwyneth shoot!
More Iron Manliness!
I can't get enough of Iron Man previews — this older one was awesome, and so is this one below. Maybe it's the smoldering Robert Downey Jr. or the high-tech action sequences? Or maybe I'm projecting my excitement for the video game — but whatever, I know I'm seeing this on opening night (May 2nd!).
More Robert Downey Jr. Goodness in the Iron Man Game
I'm super stoked for this year's blockbuster, Iron Man to hit the big screen, not only 'cause Robert Downey Jr. is one of mine and Pop's fave leading men, but because the tech and gadget cameos are sure to put me in geek overload! If you haven't seen the preview, it's packed pretty tight with geeky goodness that I'm sure you'll enjoy, plus some pretty rockin' tunes that I wish they'd offer up on Rock Band!
Thankfully, the video game will be hitting the shelves on the same day as the movie release – May 2 – so you can go from theater straight to your home console without missing a beat.
