Iron Man 2 Looks Awesome, Inane, Annoying

By September 25, 2009 Comics, Movies 0 Comment


But that might be because it’s Entertainment Tonight‘s 5-minute behind-the-scenes look at Iron Man 2. Let me break the video down for you: You’ve got two minutes of the Tony Stark at the racetrack where he first meets — and is attacked by — Whiplash, which includes a lot of exploding cars. Awesome. Then you have two minutes of ET covering the “love triangle” of Downey/Stark, Pepper/Paltrow and Black Widow/Scarlett Johansson, which is done at maximum inanity with the reporters asking for the fluffiest, softball quotes that a human can possibly give. Then, finally, it’s one minute of Gwyneth Paltrow talking about her kids like anyone gives a shit. It’s annoying. So if you cut the video off after two minutes or so, I won’t blame you in the least.

About The Author

Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
