Iron Man Grey

How many of you saw Grindhouse over the weekend? According to the box office receipts, not too many of you. I saw it and wet myself with joy. Yes, it's 3 hours. Yes, it's over the top. Yes, it's got Rose McGowan with a machine gun leg. But, oh sooo much fun! Those wacky guys Quentin Tarentino and Robert Rodriguez definitely know how to frame a story for a particular genre. And each of them craft their film with the style and tone they are respectively known for. Planet Terror, Rodriguez's film is a non-stop ball of kinetic zombie carnage, sexual energy, and velveeta cheesy dialogue. Tarentino's Deathproof brings the action train to a dead crawl but amps up the trademark Tarentino diatribes. The action express does get rolling again near the end for a spectacular pay off.

Unfortunately Harvey Wienstein, who distributed the film, was very dissappointed with the weekend take and is considering splitting the double feature and releasing each movie individually with extra footage. This is what Dimension is doing for the DVD release of Grindhouse. I hope he doesn't follow through with this plan. If he does, everyone needs to go out and see this film as a double feature while you can.

Ain't It Cool News has posted a pic of the early Iron Man suit.




Looks pretty cool. Can't wait to see what the "modern" suit will look like!
