Actually, I DO care about Iron Man, though it has never exactly been my favorite comic – not by a long, long shot. However, I do like the casting of the upcoming film, and, unlike many fanboys out there, I think Robert Downey Jr. is a perfect choice for Tony Stark, substance-abuse problems and all. Likewise, Jon Favreau is a good choice for director. My only real concern is that Iron Man has never had a strong gallery of villains (the Mandarin anyone?); in fact, in light of this, it’s no wonder Marvel has pushed Stark to almost villain-like proportions in its current post-Civil War books. Who’s a better villain for Iron Man than Iron Man himself?

They recently wrapped principle photography, the last of which was in Vegas. Prior to that, while the production was in LA, my company was employed to provide effects lighting. Trouble is that they misjudged a practical explosive effect and ended up cooking a chunk of the set along with a bunch of our lights. Can’t wait to see that footage onscreen.
