Trailer Trash: Iron Man

Everybody's linking it by now, but for ease of access, HERE IT IS AGAIN.

You know, I skipped on Ghost Rider this summer, and Spider-Man 3 didn't get me into a theater. The first Fantastic Four was so awful, I've vowed never to see the second, even when it'll be on six times a week on TBS. But Iron Man, yes, yes, I think I have to see this one. 5 reasons why:

1. Tony Stark is a right douchebag in this, and Robert Downey Jr. is the perfect man to give that performance. Had this come out in 10 or 20 years ago, it would've been the wrong way to go. In this era of Stark being the guy you love to hate, it's PERFECT.

2. Iron Man flies like there's actual drag on his arms. Time for some tie-in bobble-head hood ornaments.

3. Tony with a drink in his hand. Can't have an Iron Man movie without him getting sloshed at least once.

4. Vietnam has been replaced with Iraq of course, and as a merchant of death, Tony gets what's coming to him.

5. And he then proceeds to build his first armor IN THE DEPTHS OF OSAMA'S CAVE!!! If you're not sold by now, you're not human.
