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.

Awesome. I love the totally shameless, irreverent attitude these trailers are giving off. I hope the movie lives up to them.

Me too ::crosses fingers::

Let's see, the last trailer I got this excited about was 300. Erm. Bad example. Sin City had a good trailer, and I liked that okay! Yay! IT WILL BE GOOD, I SWEARS IT.

It's totally one of those trailers where either the entire movie is going to be awesome or the only awesome part were all shown in the trailer. But my hopes are high. And I like that they have the cohones to use "Iron Man" the song.

I like a lot of the musical choices. And there was some news bit about Jon Favreau asking Sharon Osbourne to let him use the "Iron Man" bit (because she, clearly, is the one in control of those things).
