You too can look like Iron Man on a motorcycle

Finally, an answer to that eternally-perplexing question: what do you get for the person who has everything? Remember the new Mark V “Suitcase Suit” from Iron Man 2? Whether you saw the movie or just remember it from the trailer, now you can wear your own Suitcase Suit… while riding a motorcycle. UD Replicas is now taking orders for this replica of the Iron Man Mark V, designed as a motorcycle suit in form-molded leather to look like the original. It comes with jacket, pants, boots, and gloves, and it will be available to pre-order until September 15th of this year. The leather work is finished in red, with a Read more »

Marveling Over The Lego Iron Man

Overheard in the elevator (as narrated by a friend): Guy: I don’t care what you say, my favorite robot is Iron Man! I don’t know about Tony Stark being a robot, but I am sure all the girls here would agree with me when I say that he can be MY robot any time! But how about a Lego creation? Wouldn’t you want a Lego Iron Man to play with? I have been trying to look for Lego Iron Man creations online, but it seems that the only thing out there is the one created by Arvo about two or three years ago – when the first Iron Man came Read more »

Geek Girl Crush: Robert Downey, Jr On Jay Leno

Ok, I can’t stand this. I need an Iron Man / Robert Downey, Jr. detox. PRONTO! Ever since I got back from watching Iron Man 2 from the movie theater, all I’ve been thinking about (mostly) is either Iron Man related or Robert Downey, Jr. related. I watched Iron Man 1 again on DVD, I’ve watched a couple of Robert Downey, Jr’s old movies, the Invincible Iron Man 2007 and I’m trying to get a copy of the complete Iron Man The Animated Series, too! And now, I even watched Jay Leno just because I heard that Robert Downey, Jr was going to be the guest for tonight. I don’t Read more »

5 Geek-gasmic Scenes From Iron Man 2

I just came from watching Iron Man 2 in the theater today so forgive me if I seem like a squeal-y little fan girl. I swear to the geek gods, Iron Man is SOOO COOL! (and Robert Downey, Jr. is SO HOT!) Among all the movie adaptations of Marvel, Iron Man is probably the best for me, this coming from a geek who know absolutely nothing about Iron Man, sad to say. Hardcore Iron Man fanatics might have other opinions, though. Before you continue reading on, let me remind you that this post contains a few spoilers (SPOILER ALERT!). Just warning you, because I don’t want to be the one Read more »

Joss Whedon and The Avengers

That sound you’re hearing? Choirs of fanboys singing. This might be the greatest news to ever come out of geekdom. Joss Whedon, one of the most celebrated and respected (and geeky) wordsmiths of our time, is going to be directing Marvel Studios’ big-budget superhero mashup, The Avengers. As you probably know, The Avengers is combining the stars of Marvel’s various superhero pics — Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, and Nick Fury — into star-studded blockbuster film. Whedon landing this gig is on the same level as JJ Abrams being handed the keys to the Enterprise, and everybody knows how amazing that turned out. Whedon is best known as the creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly, and Read more »

Making Movies Real – Building Project Jarvis

Sometimes, normal people do things that just amaze me. Chad Barraford of Brookline, Massachusetts, saw the movie Iron Man and decided that he wanted to turn the fictional Jarvis – the talking computer in charge of Tony Stark’s home, workshop and  Iron Man suit – into reality. To do it, he used a combination of RFID tags, Twitter, IM programs and did it all using a Mac Mini. The Boston Globe broke the story, but if you want some of the fun details and videos about the project itself, go to the Project Jarvis homepage. There you can see Chad’s videos of the process, as well as different fun steps Read more »

Your Next Captain America is the Human Torch

The long hunt is finally over. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the next person to play Captain America in Marvel’s latest project is Chris Evans. How do you know him? Well, he’s “that guy” from Not Another Teen Movie, the lead character in Push, and of course, the Human Torch in the Fantastic Four Series. From the article: Sources tell us the actor has not only accepted Marvel’s offer, first detailed on Friday, but that the dealmaking moved so fast it’s now all about dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s. Marvel would not comment on the development, and CAA, which reps the actor, declined comment. Evans was offered the role Read more »

I Guess Marvel Will License Anything: Wolverine Mouse and Keyboard

A few days ago, I brought you the glory that is the Marvel HD television lineup. That was exciting, right? I mean, who wouldn’t want a television with their favorite character printed on it? Oh wait, you wouldn’t? Well then sir or madam, I do not want to be your friend. But now there’s more. Urban Collector has just introduced Marvel and Star Trek keyboards and mice for the masses. That’s right, now you can get your very own keyboard and/or mouse with Wolverine, Iron Man or the U.S.S. Enterprise printed right across the face. Excited yet? No? Seriously, you’re being kind of a jerk. Admittedly, these are a little Read more »

New Iron Man 2 Trailer Up Now

I never read Iron Man as a kid. I was more into Batman, the X-Men and related teams, as well as Spider-Man to read about an alcoholic rich guy with a suit. As a result, I went into Iron Man the movie with just a few basic expectations, and came out ecstatic about the series and the direction it was going. Robert Downey Jr. did a spectacular job as Tony Stark, and everyone else involved did great, too. With the ending, I saw what Marvel was really trying to put together, and saw just how cohesively it was going to happen. Iron Man, Captain America, the Hulk, Thor … The Read more »
