    Jürgen Prochnow has a pretty awesome voice.

    And can command a scene like its his fucking job.

    I don't know. Then again, it's been years since I've seen him in anything. And the last thing I know I saw him in was Beverly Hills Cop 2.

    You should watch BeerFest.

    The important thing is that Iron Man 3's success should fast track Shane black's Doc Savage movie.

    What!?!

    A Doc Savage film!?!?!

    YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

    Ehhh, I'll get excited for when they make a good movie about The Shadow. I have a lot of misgivings about updating Doc Savage, and this article covers most of them.

    Midnight Sons? Midnight Sons? Midnight Sons?

    Ghost Rider goes back to Marvel, according to Kevin Feige

    Still need to wait for EW's full announcement of this tomorrow, as I'd like to see Fiege's actual statement before I start hopping up and down.

    so Iron Man 3 was pretty great

    I only have two little nerd quibbles
    1. I'm sorry, I feel a little cheated re: The Mandarin. I mean, I love what they did, but at the same time... I wanted the real Mandarin. I'm honestly torn about it.

    2. Why no beekeeper suits??

    Alrich Killian was pretty much identical to Fraction's scheming, plotting Mandarin except for race, obviously. Egotistical, profiteering, borderline insane with power.

    And honestly I think Extremis-fueled brawling led to way better action scenes than the rings would have.

    Oh, the Extremis brawling was great. I thought they pulled off the Extremis superpowers really well.

    What
    why would a rogue soldier that is part of a terrorist plot to kill the president and is also a walking timebomb be Carol Danvers?

    There's no logic to it other than "she's blonde".

    So, Iron Man Three was pretty excellent

    A few things:
    I appreciated the gag of the Mark 42 armor completely falling apart on impact every five to ten minutes. And I'm glad he pulled Dummy out of the ocean at the end

    Regarding the Mandarin/Trevor...I don't really have any sort of lingering affection for the Mandarin as a character, and I really, really enjoyed their take on it here. God damn. There are so many moments in this where I was like, "okay yeah. YEAH." The daisy chain rescue from Air Force One. Don Cheadle saving the President. All the Iron Man suits flying out of the ruins of Stark's house. That super dumb armor with the piston hands that flipped the two extremis dudes at him so he could punch them in the face and then some other armor comes flying in and launches them. Pepper beating the shit out of Guy Pearce. Guy Pearce breathing fire.

    The best thing about the firebreathing was that before that its Rhodey praying the suit doesn't open and then he does and he's like "fine, whatever lets do this" jumps out starts beating the shit out of people and then he breaths fire and Rhodey just looks at him like "OH COME ON".

    Double agents need to be in contact with their superiors so when they need assistance in the field they won't end up dead. SHIELD would keep close tabs on her they're not incompetent enough to let their agents be sitting ducks.
