Iron Man 2
Marvel comics has to have been the greatest $4.24 billion purchase Disney ever made. They have now an unlimited supply of quality stories to be told in a cinematic age that can bring these pages to life in a way that just hadn’t been possible in the same way before.
Iron Man 2 is an all American film best described in the line delivered by Tony Stark (Rober Downey Jr) “I successfully privatised world peace”. I guess this is where Bush got his idea of sending the likes of Blackwater into the war in Iraq.
It’s a disgustingly all American film and for that you have to love it. It’s big, bad and in your face. AC/DC made the sound track for the movie and it’s just what you want when tons of mechanised, metal war machines go head to head in a battle between good and bad.
I do not have to talk about the story line and I can tell you exactly what you are going to get.
- America “WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHA” yeah baby!
- A smart hero
- Cute girls that fit everything
- Futuristic battle machines that bring big and exciting bang
- Head nodding rock that will keep you till the end.
When the film ended I stayed to listen to AC/DC on a great stereo system, in dolby, in a perfectly acoustically designed room. This is a great choice to go to the cinema for!
There is BTW a sneaky little bit after all the credits to remind you of what’s to come.
China and Google go to war
It has been confirmed over the enormous argument that has taken place between China and US corporate giants Google, that this is to be settled with a head to head battle on the streets of Hong Kong.
After mapping the entire City for the Google Maps application, this information has been fed to the servers at EA. EA became famous for their sports games and most recently have dominated the first person shoot up market with their “Battlefield Bad Company”.
The issue of Google pulling out of China, has upset many business leaders throughout the super power. Google had created an infrastructure that these business’s had come to depend upon. China had an arrangement with Google keeping the flow of information in check, which Google claimed they found unethical.
The argument has not been resolved and in a recent board meeting, executives came to blows, both citing the fact that they were losing billions of dollars over the disagreement.
In stepped EA’s head of business development, Mr Martin Tyler says “….throughout history, such arguments over trade have ended up in warfare. What both side are talking about concerns many billions of dollars and there seems to be no agreement to go forward. What we suggested was that both sides go head to head, through our servers, on a simulated version of Hong Kong. Winner takes all.”
Both sides have welcomed the idea and have agreed a six month’s of monitoring gamers to assemble their armies. After this there will be a two week conscription and training, before the final armies are prepared for battle.
All that is left now, is to sell the viewing rights to TV.
