Got half of the devil in the white city. I'm not so us how easy it's gonna be to make that movie. That book is an architecture student's wet dream. Some very informative yet dry parts so far. Hard to plow through.
Totally agree.
I'm halfway through as well. The parts with Burnham so far have been all about architecture. These two obviously have to cross paths at some point. Interested to see how it plays out.
Intrigued to see if they can pull it off on the big screen.
Watched Iron Man today... going to watch Iron Man 2 before I see Iron Man 3 in IMAX 3D on Thursday.
Jeff Bridges looks so much younger in this movie than he does in True Grit, and there's only a 2 year difference.
Yeah, yeah, yeah I know in True Grit they made him look older and in Iron Man he's the uber-rich, clean-cut guy. Plus, the character he played is supposed to have all the resources at his disposal to look young, but it was crazy to me.
The one thing I still don't understand is WHY he sold Stark out. He was friends with Stark's father for god knows how many years, stood by his side. Is it just because he wanted power and to be at the top of the company? Seemed out of character for the guy we were led to believe he was, and they never really delved into the why other than "he just sold him out". Or maybe they did and I'm just senile.
Still don't see how Gwyneth Paltrow is fun to look at. Especially don't get how she got voted Most Beautiful Person of 2013 by People or whoever.
The special effects in the first Iron Man were spectacular, and the pacing was great as well. In a 2-hour movie, you felt like you were able to see a lot without it being rushed. I mean just think, we saw from the get-go his luxurious life as a playboy philanthropist, a decently long cave scene, him building the suit, offing all the Afghani rebels, accelerating his relationship with Pepper, Bridges/Obidaya being a greedy, obnoxious *****, the fight scene, the ending... ALL in 2 hours without it feeling rushed.
Loved Stark's assistant in the cave, unfortunate that his character was so short-lived. Christine Brinkley, the reporter, whoever she is
Might have to reevaluate because I'm about to watch Iron Man 2 for the first time in a long while, but Terrence Howard was definitely more suitable for Lt. Rhodes than Don Cheadle.
