Ah, yes, comic book movies. Fun, fun, fun. Even more fun: the promotions!

We have everything from special soda cans

to car commercials

to action figures

all in an attempt to make some dough.

So, let's talk about the money-making campaign for what should be one of the more entertaining films this year!

    Burger King in the original Iron Man was a rare case of blatant product placement done right, up there with Cheerios in Superman: The Movie and Coca-Cola in Blade Runner

    Typically there's a big movie every year that I take the day off of work for

    I was gonna do that for Iron Man 2 but it's gonna be especially busy that week so I can't

    Guess it'll be Scott Pilgrim

    kinda want to see this movie in imax or something

    I've never seen a movie in a non-traditional format whether it be imax or 3d

    but I could make an exception for Iron Man

    Was Iron Man 2 shot in IMAX or are they just releasing it in IMAX theaters?

    'Cause there is a pretty huge difference

    If it was shot in IMAX I will gladly drive the 50 miles to see it that way

    I still remember going to see Batman in '89 with my dad, and they just had boxes full of shit in the lobby they were giving away. I still have a mug and t-shirt from that, although the shirt is way too small for me now.
