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 »

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!).

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 »

10 Summer 2010 blockbusters I'm not ashamed to be excited about

Iron Man 2 officially kicks off Summer 2010 at the movies, and it’s one of ten high-profile, mega-hyped, big-budget, popcorn blockbuster flicks I’m not ashamed to say I can’t wait to see. In order of release: 1) Iron Man 2 (May 7th) The first movie was a hit because it combined a superhero premise perfectly suited for the big screen with an inspired casting choice in Robert Downey Jr. It turned out to be the role Downey was born to play; is there anybody who can’t wait to see Chapter 2? A bigger budget, a badder baddie, new suits (including War Machine), Black Widow… Chance of suck: 0%. Read more »
