That one time Australia gets media first...

Without getting into spoilers, I thoroughly enjoyed Iron Man 3, which may not mean much since I also liked Iron Man 2 the first time I saw it. I predict that Tumblr will have lots of feels, some of them hair-related (stay past the credits as usual), and some of them outrage that a plot development confidently being predicted on the basis of three seconds in the trailer doesn't go as expected.



I'd say I must have been the last person to find out Guy Pearce was in this, but I found out this morning, and suburbannoir didn't know until he turned up. So that was pretty great.

I remember seeing someone, somewhere, announce that they were boycotting the movie because it contains the Mandarin, racist caricature, etc. This post was followed by a countdown to release day and plans for getting a cam version. I wish I could remember who that was, because I've had a lot of laughs at their expense.

Anyway, I had a lot of issues with the Mandarin as well, and was generally unhappy that the character was being used. As it turns out, the way he is dealt with is ... well, a lot more clever than it seems.



In conclusion, this was great, where is my Black Widow movie?

Aren't you getting My Little Trek Into Darkness first, too?

No, Europe gets it a week before us.

My mistake - good news for us, though!

I feel like I'm missing an injoke.

Behold this piece of inspired silliness!

I just came back from seeing this, and oh yes, I lol'd at Tumblr's expense. A lot.
