I just like it when Robert Downey Jr. acts like a dick (ie most of the time).

xxp I don't know, but it's kind of hot.
Yeeeeeah... I keep finding myself scrolling back up to look at the picture again, which is odd because I've never been particularly taken with Robert Downey, Jr.
I don't know from Ironman, but I like the idea of RDJr as a drunk arms dealing superhero. I think that will be entertaining to say the least.

i've always liked RDJ, and that movie looks great!
is there another movie about a big robot looking thing coming out as well, or is 'ironman' what we saw the teaser trailer for a while ago?

trans ... formers?

Dear RDJ,
Please tell me you don't wear that goatee in real life. It's 2007.
Sincerely, Concerned Fan

Dear RDJ, Don't listen to kenan. Normally, I would agree with him, but it just so happens you are one of the only men in the world who can pull this off.
Sincerely, YOU KNOW WHO
― KitCat, Thursday, 4 October 2007 15:53 (sixteen years ago) link
no, i thought it was some anime style live action thing, but can't remember much else. i'll have to see if toby remembers anything else about it.
― colette, Thursday, 4 October 2007 15:55 (sixteen years ago) link
Judging from the preview I think I'll see the first 20 minutes of Iron Man and then sneak into Friends with Money 2 or something.
― Eazy, Thursday, 4 October 2007 15:57 (sixteen years ago) link
LOL @ RDJ correspondence, particularly "YOU KNOW WHO."

I'm just going to print that out and hand it in to my attorney as my conclusion on this particular issue.

^that's a great bassline that pops up in Iron Man
― Jordan, Thursday, 4 October 2007 16:17 (sixteen years ago) link
Are you talking about the cover of "Iron Man" at the end or (my guess) "Hey Man Nice Shot" by Filter or something else?
― n/a, Thursday, 4 October 2007 16:25 (sixteen years ago) link
"Hey Man Nice Shot" is the obvious guess because the bassline is really prominent.
I didn't recognize that bass line from the preview 'til now. There's a good use of "Hey Man Nice Shot" in The Cable Guy.
― Eazy, Thursday, 4 October 2007 16:27 (sixteen years ago) link
I was talking about the bassline in the Sir Mix-a-lot cover that Eazy posted.
But then I watched the trailer, which is awesome, and said "lol, Filter" to myself.
― Jordan, Thursday, 4 October 2007 16:30 (sixteen years ago) link
Also, so glad they did the obvious thing and played "Iron Man" in the Iron Man trailer (and used the original).
YAY Silwork documentary! (The band, not the insect)

i am looking forward to iron man. can't wait to hear sabbath blasting through those insanely loud theatre speakers.

Uh-oh. I just realized I'm having salt for lunch so far. I'm eating Kalamata olives and (Bulgarian!?) feta. I love working in Greektown sometimes!

I went to Artopolis a while back, liked it a lot.

The greek grocery store is pretty great. Like at all ethnic grocery stores you get yumminess for MUCH cheaper than at Jewel or Whole Foods.

artopolis was good too, but my chicken dish was not very special. i chose poorly.

I was listening to Sweep the Leg Johnny!

And it made your balls feel like tits?
― Jesse, Thursday, 4 October 2007 18:05 (sixteen years ago) link
I'll repeat what I said before:
jesse k3hr: que?? Dan M@rt|n: it's the name of the song I was listening to
― dan m, Thursday, 4 October 2007 18:07 (sixteen years ago) link
I saw that band once.
― Jordan, Thursday, 4 October 2007 18:08 (sixteen years ago) link
It was okay.
Me too. I saw them here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=wN3PLKDQZQI
― dan m, Thursday, 4 October 2007 18:09 (sixteen years ago) link
The sound sucks ass but the end of the video is great.
I like Sweep the Leg Johnny. Saxaphone dude was in Zzzz, who were pretty great too, afterwords, then I think he moved to South America?
― n/a, Thursday, 4 October 2007 18:12 (sixteen years ago) link
I bet I used to play the song from that YouTube video on my college radio show.
More bands should have saxophones.
― n/a, Thursday, 4 October 2007 18:13 (sixteen years ago) link
I saw them in Milwaukee, on their break-up tour. I think I really disliked the drummer for some reason?
― Jordan, Thursday, 4 October 2007 18:13 (sixteen years ago) link
I remember thinking "that dude is going to fall right through that drop ceiling" and then he fell right through the drop ceiling.
You didn't like the drummer? I thought he was pretty awesome.
― dan m, Thursday, 4 October 2007 18:17 (sixteen years ago) link
I listened to a lot of StLJ in college. They played a few times at Grinnell. Pretty awesome, but when I've gone back to listen to them recently, I can't get into it.

Apropos of nothing except that we're posting youtube clips of '90's bands, but the video for Break Up Your Band by Chavez is still my favorite video of all time (I may have made you watch this before if you have been to my house).
― n/a, Thursday, 4 October 2007 18:26 (sixteen years ago) link
The dude in the beginning of that video looks the hell out of Mark McKinney.
