I do not know either Barrowman, or Collins. What am I missing?

Nothing to see here. Move along.

Teague is now Leo Laport.

I'm busy tonight, but might be able to grind stuff out tomorrow. Let me know if you need a hand with anything?

Dorkman's special move is he strikes an inappropriate, sexy Black Widow pose, making you uncomfortable until you forfeit. The counter attack to this is to charge at him with a giant hypodermic needle.

Did laugh.

While I hated captain electrowhip, I hate mr burning more (but both still pale in comparison to how much I detest flambé Pepper).

So now tell me:
a) how do you just electrify someone's arm?
b) when did iron man gain the ability to selectively electrify his suit?
c) I've seen video of people being tasered, and convulsing. That person is in no kind of control - they're effectively dead, jerking weight. How is that more useful that someone being coherent?

Australia isn't part of Europe. It's your right and privelage as an American to not pay attention to the rest of the world, though.

Can I just point out that Tony stark handily encountering a television truck, then using said television truck to hacks government satellite (after checking his connection on speedtest.net), which then served him shocking video exposition, fucking sucked.

Shittiest way to deliver that information, ever. That entire sequence felt like it was written so Stark could use that fucking website in the film.

Stark is in a television van with a dish on the roof. What the ever loving fuck is a website that checks your connection speed going to do? Measure your point-to-point connection to a military satellite, using a man in the middle attack?!

Product placement is fine when it works with the flow of the script, but that website isn't something you use on the way from point A to B (like eating a burger in a car, the car itself, or a telephone). It's a product you need to fabricate a reason to use.

I stipulate the entire sequence about the TV truck / mil sat / handy plot-essential video, was the result of a paid advertisement by speedtest.net.

(I would pay monies for a mobile-device friendly version of down in front. Also, do not write long posts at 4:30am when you've just woken up)

NSFW.

I'd also push for Brotherhood of the Wolf, again.

I think they're blinded by the explosions, and possibly the banter. It throws a lot at you, and doesn't give you too much time to go "wait a minute ..."

When I got out of the cinema I wasn't too irritated by the film, but after sleeping on it my dissatisfaction has deepened. There are so many things raised which just don't make any sense, and logic jumps which don't have connective tissue, that the entire thing is deeply unfulfilling.

There are nice bits - Tony gets some great one liners, the robot bits are always fun, and his character does have an arc. But the Jeeves is now a full blown AI, and basically Tony's sidekick for the entire film. AI annoys the fuck out of me.

What were some of the bigger issues you had with the plot?

What a fucking mess.

I alluded to some issues in the chat box - those primarily being an incomprehensible script, and Pepper suddenly becoming a killer-ninja fire beast.

Additionally, it wraps up with (and I kid you not), "I fixed everything" as a voice-over, and vague shots of tony having the circle glowing thing removed from his chest.
