Just saw Iron Man 3 and you would not see the villain twist coming.

The villain knows the secret of why he's called Iron Man.



"Noooooooooo!"

Cops was still on? I still watch a few Fox shows, and I don't think I've seen a promo for Cops in the past decade.

The bigger story is that America's Most Wanted ran longer than I ever thought it did, since I'm 29 now and haven't heard a promo for it since I was, like, 8.

I actually did know about AMW, but only because I was at the Crime and Punishment Museum in DC a few years ago, and I actually saw the set. My reaction then, though, was the same as yours, "Is this still on?"

Well, RDJ fulfilled his contractual obligations with Iron Man 3. I have no doubt that he'll be back in The Avengers 2, but the guy's getting old. He'll be 50 by the time that movie comes out, and he seriously hurt himself and got laid up for 6 weeks during Iron Man 3's filming from a simple wire stunt. He keeps himself in great shape, but exercise only does so much to keep you in good physical condition. He'll have to tone down the big action flicks at some point, probably very soon.

Most people didn't use a firearm at all in the first movie. There were exactly two times where anyone fired a gun: shooting M16s into the raptor cage in the intro and Grant firing a few SPAS-12 shots off-screen before dropping it from a jam. The only other time anybody even touched a gun was Muldoon setting up for the raptors and getting ambushed.

Lost World got stymied mostly by the protagonists being horrible people (essentially the real villains of the piece) and endangering the hunters, to the point of pulling the powder from the elephant gun's ammo just to stick it to him....and then he couldn't defend the camp from a rampaging T-Rex.

Third film was, again, barely anything. The mercs got almost 100% killed off at the start, though admittedly a Spinosaurus isn't exactly something you want to chase after with an assault rifle and handgun.

So is anyone else disappointed with the fact that the "reborn" Toonami consists mostly of shows that have already been part of AS' lineup at one point or another? I like Fullmetal Alchemist, Cowboy Bebop, InuYasha, and Ghost in the Shell as much as any anime fan, but where are the block's more iconic shows like Dragonball Z, Mobile Suit Gundam (and its offshoots), Trigun, and Outlaw Star?

Yeah, though I can't really get behind a hunter who only bothers to carry the two rounds he can load into his rifle with no spares, and then doesn't check his weapon after leaving it unattended near a guy he knows wants to screw around with it. Everyone in that film is a complete moron at least once, Roland is just a moron the smallest number of times.

I didn't saw that plot twist coming either. Now let the bitching by a bunch of angry fanboys begin.
