I'm starting to freak out a little bit about it. I can't believe I won't be seeing the premier (I'm on call for work). I may have to completely disconnect from the internet until Monday. In fact, I may have to turn off the TV too because the BK commercials are getting to be too much. I can't believe that I'm relatively sure that this movie will be even better than the first after losing two Academy Award-winning actors. Don Cheadle and Mickey Rourke are going to rock though. And I'm sure I don't have to point out that Scarlett is awesome. This could be the best movie ever, basically.
I'm shocked that there is no Demon in the Bottle plot-line. After talking to friends, we'd surmised that The Avengers movie likely needs a sober Tony, which makes sense. But, let's be honest, telling good Iron Man stories without bringing up his history with the sauce is going to be tough. The human failings that define Marvel characters are as big a part of their success as their gadgets, their villains, and their heroic beats. Battling alcoholism has always been Stark's greatest weakness and his victories over his inner demons have largely defined his greatest successes. Marvel will squander this character if they never do anything but make him fight other guys in armor.
