I apologize for the posting of incredible seriousness just now. I make it up to you all, okay? Have a new Iron Man trailer!

In the words of a certain Flash animation, "I DECLARE IRON MAN TO BE THE NEW COMMISSIONER OF MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL."

Seriously, great trailer, with even new stuff from the last one! Only concerned that they're giving too much away at this point, but a lot of Robert Downey Jr.'s lines still crack me up and I've watched the trailer a hundred times. I can only imagine the things I'm not seeing will also be awesome. Jon Favreau has proved to be nearly bulletproof with his marketing technique for this. He gives the right amount of suggestion, promise, and awesome in everything he's put out for this so far. His marketing guys better be really, really well paid, too, because their work has been stellar.

Also, how cool is it that on the homepage, they have a section devoted to fan art? That's love, baby. Fan-love. It's an example of what I would call the Rowling Principle--show your fans respect, and they will love you. Mega-love you. I already do. At this point, I'm pretty sure the film could be at least as bad as Spider-Man 3 and I'd still like it.

Wow, that's pretty awesome, and I know nothing about Iron Man. I hate Gwyneth Pallid (as gryphonrose is fond of calling her), but the rest of the cast suits me fine. :)

I'm not a fan of hers especially. I did love Sliding Doors, but that's about it. However, I think she's being used pretty well here. From the ONE line she's had in ANY of the trailers, she sounded authentically snarky, which, to be fair, she can do quite well when she wants.
