*purrs and licks claw*
I understand you though about that. Hairy legs...damn!! I just wish they were no such thing and it was just a nightmare. All girls have hair on their legs, some you can't see it cuz' it blends in the skin. but you know what I really think is weird? no facial hair on men. Not even that 5 o'clock shadow. It looks odd...especially on older men. Like, 20s. I hate how girls tell their men to shave, that's not true love dammit. True love your supposed to accept their differences, your ruining it for those that like it girls! |
Saay..wasn't the Iron Man that one big dude, and that little boy who found the guy and tried to take him home, and in the end he loses him, but there was a cliffhanger that a piece was like, following the boy or trying to get back together?
I haven't watched that movie in a loooong time...
|
was iron man 2 any good ?
... i didnt even watch the first one XD so is the first one worth watching? |
|
@SK: I liek you too.
@LitetheIronMan: ARGH I haven't watched that movie. People said its really good, I can't believe them, cuz' they said twilight was good.DX but it does look good...iron man. I mean, not twilight. hurr. |
|
I didn't much care for it... it didn't seem like the most remarkable movie especially because you really couldn't empathize with the characters and their relationships. Many of them were just too flat.

I find it interesting that she has gotten a hundred and some posts in about one day. 
Oh and by the way Lite, perhaps I did not like Iron Man 2 because I prefer movies based more on a compelling plot, not just a good guy and a bad guy and big explosions with relatively minor conflicts in the middle.

Why did it take me nearly 3 days to realize Lopun was a girl? Guess I'm that stupid, I SHALL BE OFF TO MY STUPID CORNER NOW!

As the press conference from the end of the first Iron Man movie takes place, Russian physicist Anton Vanko and his son Ivan are watching Tony Stark reveal himself as Iron Man. Anton remarks that Ivan should be the one in Stark's place, and shortly dies. In rage, Ivan finds stolen plans for the arc reactor in his father's basement and proceeds to begin building his own suit.
Six months later, the Stark Expo opens. The Expo is essentially a theme-park and a place where for 12 months, anyone who's anyone with an invention can demonstrate it live.
Stark himself is quarrelling with Justin Hammer and Senator Stern of the US government over the Iron Man suit. Stark states that since the suit is the United State's one nuclear weapons deterrent and the fact that other nations are five to ten years from even developing a prototype armor (Hammer's company itself is humourously 20 years away), the suit should stay with Stark.
Tony is also battling palladium poisoning. The arc reactor fueling the electromagnet in his chest is powered by the metal, which, as it is depleted, begins to burn and leak into his chest, slowly killing him. Despite anti-poisoning treatment, the poison still leaks into his body. There is no known substitute or element permutation that can replace the palladium, and Tony begins to accept that he is dying. As such, he appoints his former assistant, Pepper Potts, the new CEO of Stark Industries. Tony also hires a new assistant, Natalie Rushman.
Later, Stark, Potts, Rushman, and Stark's chauffer, Happy Hogan, fly to France to view the Monaco F-1 race going on. Stark decides to make a grand appearance, taking part in the race. All the while, Ivan Vanko, who has snuck into France and completed his own suit (albeit with modifications), appears on the racetrack and attempts to kill Stark. Vanko is soon repelled by Stark's Mark V suitcase armor.
In prison, Vanko reveals that he did not attempt to kill Stark, only publicly humiliate him. "If you can make God bleed, people will cease to believe in Him." Now that it has been demonstrated that other people can in fact build their own cybernetic armors, and use them to fight off Stark's Iron Man suit, the Iron Man weapon's credibility as "successfully privatizing world peace" is destroyed. This ruins Stark, and this combined with his imminent death leads to a self-destructive spiral.
Upon returning to the US, Stark holds a birthday party for himself. Believing it to be the last he'll ever have, he indulges and gets drunk while wearing the Iron Man suit. Stark's friend, James "Rhodey" Rhodes appears at Potts' request, and upon witnessing Stark's endangerment of the guests, dons the Mark II prototype armor, beating the drunk Stark senseless and taking the armor to the US Air Force.
Justin Hammer, who saw Vanko's attack on Stark with his prototype "Whiplash" armor, decides to help him escape prison for his own purposes. Hammer asks Vanko to help him perfect the armors that he is working on. These Hammer suits are imperfect, however, and Vanko begins to make his own adjustments to them. Eventually, they are modified and no longer require pilots, now robotic drones.
Hammer is also contacted by the US Air Force regarding the Iron Man armor Rhodey confiscated from Stark. He proposes that the armor be upgraded with several Hammer Industries weapons, including a chain-fed minigun, handheld submachine guns, and a bunker-busting smart missile dubbed the "Ex-wife." This armor and the Hammer Drones are to be demonstrated at the Stark Expo the following day.
Stark is approached by SHIELD Director Nick Fury. Fury reveals that Natalie Rushman (real name Natalya Romanov) is a SHIELD spy sent to psychoevaluate Stark for the Avenger Initiative. Fury confines Stark to his home premises and tells him cryptically that not only is he aware of Stark's impending death, but that there is a cure and that he hasn't tried "every element." He provides Tony with a chest belonging to his father, Howard Stark. Inside details movie reels of Howard's advertisements for the Stark Expo, filmed back in the 70's, as well as blueprints for the arc reactor.
Stark returns to the CEO office of Stark Industries. After failing to tell Pepper about his current situation, he takes a large diorama of the Stark Expo premises back home. Upon watching the movie reels and analyzing the diorama, it is revealed that Tony's father developed a new element, however due to his generation's limited technology, he cannot create and synthesize it. Stark proceeds to do so, since this new element's atomic capabilities are a better working substitute for palladium in the arc. He forges a new chestpiece and builds a new armor, Iron Man Mk VI, to accomodate it. The new chestpiece cures Stark's palladium poisoning entirely.
Meanwhile, Hammer becomes infuriated with Vanko over all of the things he's done in his secret employ while building the drones, and locks him in his study while he demonstrates the drones and the new Variable Threat Response Battle Armor (the "War Machine" suit derived from Rhodey's stolen Mk II) at the Stark Expo, to publicly humiliate Stark.
At home, Tony recieves a threatening phone call from Vanko, and, donning his new suit, flies to the Expo to warn Rhodey and interrogate Hammer. At the Expo, Vanko hacks into the War Machine suit and the Hammer Drone Army, causing them all to attack Iron Man, with Rhodey forcibly fighting Tony.
Romanov and Happy are sent to Hammer Industries to find Vanko and disable the armors attacking Iron Man, but find that Vanko isn't there. Romanov hacks into Vanko's network, rebooting War Machine so that Rhodey can independantly control it. Iron Man and War Machine fight off the remaining drones. Soon after, Vanko arrives in a modified Crimson Dynamo suit with Whiplash's ion repulsor whips, however, he is quickly defeated by the two armors. Vanko's last ace in the hole, a self-destruct mechanism built into the drones and Vanko's armor, begins to go off and Rhodey and Stark escape the Expo, with Stark barely rescuing Potts from the showcase area.
After Stark and Potts make amends and kiss, Rhodey decides to keep the War Machine armor for himself. Soon after, Fury gives Stark Romanov's psychological assessment, which reveals that although Iron Man is a solid choice for the Avenger Initiative, Stark himself is not, prompting Fury to suggest that someone else pilot the Iron Man armor and Stark can remain on team as a consultant. Stark agrees, but on one condition: Senator Stern, who berated Stark earlier in the film for not turning over the armor, must (reluctantly) present him and Rhodey with medals of honor.

I'm not going to say what I was going to about Lopun because It'll just prove how stupid and out of it I have been.
My stupidity.
Why did it take me nearly 3 days to realize Lopun was a girl? Guess I'm that stupid, I SHALL BE OFF TO MY STUPID CORNER NOW! and I'm slightly with you ala. |
Screw the lawsuits.
I can break anything I want.
hurr.
I'm such a smooth talker. I forgot my icecream slip in my other pants' pocket at home, and went to school to get free icecream (i was student of the month) and the lunch lady told me that she needs that slip. I was like, "tell you what, let me go freely and enjoy my treat, and I will give you the slip for sure tommorrow. Deal?" and she's like, "Ok well you better bring it."
YYYAAAAAAY ICECREAM! X3
Lunch ladies are so trusting. That is all... the ones at my school are incredibly nice. They stay in the kitchen all day so what is their only entertainment? Speaking to every student and making as many new friends they can before someone who serves the lunch room better comes along. ;P

SK I literally laughed when I saw that. And then I read what LoPun had stated about it being, "Frickin` diabetes written all over it." Then, I looked at the picture again and realized that it said Happy Tracks.
