COMIC BOOK STUFFS.

So, I heard from a source about a nine hour cut of the Avengers films that assembles them in chronological order and apparently cuts out some bits to make for tighter narratives. I'm actually rather fond of Iron Man II, which seems to get most of the hate, so it's not that I'd prefer the nine hour cut, I'd just like to see it. As the article says, for Science. So if you know of a torrent download link that doesn't lead to the now-defunct-for-good Demonoid, feel free to post it in comments, For Science.

Also, if you are a comics fan, particularly a Womanthology fan, Jean is auctioning a limited edition copy of Womanthology signed by tons of editors, writers, and artists, to raise money to help with Womanthology creator Renae De Liz's medical bills. There's info on the signers at her tumblr and the auction is here.

Look, another person who is fond of Iron Man II! Huzzah!

(Sam, you make it legitimate.)

I like Iron Man II WAY MORE than Iron Man. Seriously. I get a bit sad Pepper and Rhodey don't work it out, but I can buy that, and I just love the Natalie-and-Pepper stuff and Rhodey and Justin as dark mirror for Tony and Tony being this messed-up miserable creature Not Telling. Iron Man just doesn't do that much for me, and I have to expend enough energy ignoring the neo-con-ness to make it uncomfortable.

Also, Iron Man II has the hairporn Natasha fight. Iron Man has no Natasha AT ALL.

LOL!

I suspect a lot of the people who dislike Iron Man II may be missing the "self-destructing because I'm dying" bit. Tony's actions come off as toweringly douchey -- and they are, I'm not denying -- but if you wrap your head around the reason for them, they're at least explainable. Every douchebag move he makes throughout the entire film is done with a clumsy but ultimately good motive, to make sure things are settled before his death.
