Iron Man Makes Internet Swoon in Unison

Iron ManCommenters mocked us last week for comparing Iron Man to four or five different kinds of porn, but if you’ve turned on your computer today, you’ll know that we’re not the only ones to get a little turned on by the first blockbuster of the season––the entire internet seems to be in a state of Iron Man afterglow. (Well, except for David Poland. And Paul Scheer, who notes that Iron Man’s real box office victory has nothing on Aquaman’s fake record-breaking opening.) Here then, a look at some of the morning after kissing-and-telling:

  • Entertainment Weekly’s Ken Tucker is already talking Oscar: “Hey, Hollywood and the Motion Picture Academy: Take a closer squint at the big summer movies. Take them, ahem, seriously. As far as I’m concerned, Downey’s performance should go on any short list that anyone draws up of potential Oscar nominees.”
  • Remember the part where Tony thanks the dying kidnapped scientist for saving his life, and the dying kidnapped scientist is like, “Don’t waste your life”? Strange Culture says that scene could be used to aid a different type of ecstasy: “For Christian services, and messages, these lines are perfect.”
  • At Defamer, Stu attributes Iron Man’s box office supremacy to five simple factors; two of them basically amount to “Chicks dig Robert Downey, Jr.” Which is unimpeachable fact.
