Am I usually guilty of excessive hyperbole? In the case of Wu-Tang and superhero shit the answer could possibly be yes. So maybe then you don’t want to finish reading this drop for fear I will only be using my position as social media critic to influence you on something that you otherwise wouldn’t like.

Get over yourself. Now get your ass to a movie theatre to see ‘Iron Man’. This could possibly be the greatest superhero movie of all time, but at any rate it is easily the best picture of 2008 and definitely the best action movie since the ‘Bourne Ultimatum’.

I hate to use the word swagger since every thirteen year old knucklehead spits it recklessly to describe the skateboard they carry around (instead of ride!?) and how they dress. This movie exudes the legacy definition of swagger. It has a sex appeal and a machismo that you haven’t seen on the big screen since ‘Scarface’. If you think that James Bond had gadgets then you have no idea what kind of toys a multi-gazillionaire like Tony Stark enjoys.

In 1988, the great SPY magazine said that the best movies are ones with…

In 2008, its all about…

‘Iron Man’ is two and a half hours of shit talking (in several languages) and ass kicking (the most universal language) on a supreme level. What helped make this movie so enjoyable to me were the actor’s character portrayals which were so close to how they were written in the original Marvel comics and cartoons. FAVREAU snuck in the soundtrack from the OG Iron Man cartoon as well. I have to give FAVREAU his due since I wasn’t feeling him[ll] after I learned that Ghostface Killah’s scenes had been scrapped. Dude made up for it in spades (figuratively and literally).

ROBERT DOWNEY Jr. was fucking brilliant. JEFF BRIDGES was malevolent. GWYNETH PALTROW was hot, and TERRENCE HOWARD set us up for the sequel with War Machine. Oh, you didn’t know? There is definitely going to be a sequel and possibly a spinoff Avengers movie. Seriously though, I don’t want to give away any details because the movie is just that good, but for those of you that go to the theatres this weekend please make sure that you stay throughout the credits for the surprise ending. If you are a classic Marvel comics fan you will be happier than a pig dipped in doodoo.

I have been working on a media rating system for DP Dot Com in order to communicate when there is an event or item that is worth our consumption. This upcoming summer will feature several movie and television premieres as well as music offerings that I will preview and determine if they are things that I would spend my money on. I hope this service proves to be useful since we are immersed in a recession economy where our monies have to extend themselves faster and longer (no Daft Punk shiny leather pantsuit).

I’m on my way to the movies to view ‘Iron Man’ again. I will prA’li catch it on Tuesday night with Chocolate Snowflake since she has the Optimum Rewards card. Was the movie that good? ‘Iron Man’ was retarded good. It earns the highest rating on DP Dot Com.

A three retard peace fingers shout out.
