Iron Man

Just came back from the movie. I need a cigarette, and I don’t even smoke. Yes, it was that good — if you’re into mecha, which I obviously am. It’s 126 minutes of robotics/gadgets porn, with tons of details and very good characters.

There’s really no reason we can’t get good powered armor or mecha movies anymore. Forget that old “but you can’t see the actor’s faaace!” whine, John Favreau found a way. So I want — nay, I demand! — movies or TV series of Starship Troopers (for real this time), Forever War, Armor and so on.

When (not if) you go see the movie, stay until the end of the credits. I mean it. It’s your… ultimate goal.
