Yup, I saw Iron Man. It's the popcorn movie of the year, most likely. Every bit as fun as it looks.

I saw Popcorn Man this weekend.

in the movie they refer to a terrorist organization known as 'the ten rings'.

in the comic, Iron man's first major nemesis ( as luthor is to siperman) was The Mandarin who wielded ten rings of mystical power on all his fingers.  He was always giving Iron man shit.

The Mandarin may work in the comics, but it would suck in a movie. At least if they keep it as "magic."

There's a rule screenwriters toss around called double mumbo jumbo. Basically, it says that audiences will cut you exactly one form of unlikely claptrap per film. Try and double up on them and they won't buy it. Aliens attacking earth? Sure. Aliens attacking earth and God saves people through internal spiritual messages? (I.e., Signs)... Nope. it's why they changed Spidey's webshooters into another physical power rather than a Peter Parker invention. Teenage boy gains superhuman spider powers? Okay. Same teen also is a world champ inventor who invents seemingly impossible web shooter? Double mumbo jumbo. Doesn't work.

So basically, if they want Mandarin, they need to nix the magic, IMHO.

Let's all just pretend I put that in the Comix Isles.

ugh. Stayed up and watched the Dallas Stars play 4 OTs. I had help. Cinco de Mayo. Head and nose hurting. Jimmy came by last night. Didn't stay but hurled a bag of blow at us and told us to not stay up too late. I think he went back to whatever place he comes from. Back to bed anybody?

I had to Google that to know you were talking about hockey. I am always fascinated that southern states have teams and fans in that sport. The way i always explain it to people up here is that, being from a place without ice or even a proper winter, I know about as much about hockey as I do jai alai. It really looks like a sport I could appreciate though, and I keep meaning to go see the Blackhawks.

We're going to be all over that one for a while, I am afraid.
