Well everyone’s posting about it, so might as well give my two cents.<\/p>\n
Cris and I watched Iron Man<\/em> when it premiered. The funny thing was that Cris and I had no idea that the movie was already showing that day. I just felt like eating out, then found out about the movie, and we both decided to watch it since we were already there.<\/p>\n I have to say it was one of the best superhero flicks I’ve ever seen. However, I was hesitant of posting a glowing recommendation when I got home; because I seriously thought I may have been too biased towards Tony Stark’s character.<\/p>\n Seeing that many of my friends had blogged about it, I guess it’s safe to assume that regardless of personal bias, Iron Man<\/em> seemed to be a really good<\/em> movie.<\/p>\n\n While people have their reasons to love the Iron Man<\/em> movie, I personally as a geek can see clearly why it would be perfect for us (the geeks):<\/p>\n Period, game over, fuck you, thanks for playing.<\/p>\n Kidding aside; here’s a guy who’s filthy rich, gets (or creates) all the cool toys, is a fucking genius… and is cool enough to be the sexual desire of women. Not to mention that he can get away with being an asshole.<\/p>\n Tony Stark has a combination of Steve Job’s vision and taste, Bill Gates’ wealth, Einstein’s brains, Brad Pitt’s appeal, and fictional character Gregory House’s<\/em> wit and candor.<\/p>\n I don’t know about you, but I’d say that’s the perfect man<\/strong> right there (or at least pretty darn close to it). I’d love to be in Tony Stark’s shoes any day.<\/p>\n I remember Cris laughing at me every time I whimpered in envy whenever I saw a cool thing of Stark’s; like how the glass surfaces in his house were touch controllers as well. Or what about his tactile-responsive virtual projection system (remember when he put his arm inside the projected image of an arm-piece he was designing… and it fucking started moving along with his arms!). Naturally that technology isn’t a reality yet, but God Damn<\/em> was it cool to watch!<\/p>\n Even if the Iron Man<\/em> storyline had<\/em> sucked, I’d still probably enjoy if only to watch Tony Stark operate. In fact I think the reason why the story was great was precisely because of that; the character.<\/em> There was nothing special about the plot – but Stark’s character carried the whole movie. There’s just something about Stark’s smugness that appeals to me as a geek. It’s literally an it-would-be-so-awesome-if-I-could-be-like-him<\/em> type of awe.<\/p>\n Tony Stark is the pinnacle of geek evolution; a geek that has been perfected.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Well everyone’s posting about it, so might as well give my two cents.
