Less Rourke, More Cheadle

As a general rule, I rarely bother posting TV spots. They’re 30 seconds long, and usually they consist of even more-chopped up bits from the full length trailers. TV spots are, by design, simply quick licks of the larger piece of candy. They’re usually a waste of time, only designed to try to keep you from flipping the channel for 30 more seconds.

All of that said, I’m breaking that rule today with the new spot that debuted during the Nickelodean Kids Choice Awards because a) It’s fucking Iron Man 2), and b) this one actually has a surprising amount of new-ish footage. Particularly, more Cheadle, and we all know the world is a better place with more Cheadle. It also has a bit more of Scarlett Johanssen’s Black Widow, and it looks like they’re playing up the ally part of the character (Widow has something of a mixed history with Iron Man and the Avengers). Interestingly, there is zero Mickey Rourke, which is possibly a good thing. Don’t want to give too much of the villain away, and no Sam Rockwell (as Justin Hammer) either. The latter is a shame as well, because Sam Rockwell fucking rules, but again, don’t want to spoil too much.

Anyway, enough jibber jabber. Here’s the spot.

God, that suitcase bit is so badass.

I just ejaculated for the first time in my life without any direct human contact. Having discovered this, I'll be watching this trailer repeatedly all morning.

That looks really tasty. The only issue I have is that Sammy L. Jackson should be contractually obligated to end every sentence with 'motherfucker'. Am I wrong?

Ooooh I think I'm gonna hafta milk this handle for just a little bit longer.

Sam Jackson is probably the only person in the world who could sound like a badass delivering that line rather than a buffoon.

Damn, I'm all tingly in my happy parts. And yes admin, the way SLJ says 'motherfucker' is pretty much legendary at this point. I'd drive my car into his just to hear him swear at me.

So, does Nick Fury carry a wallet that has "Bad Motherfucker" tooled in it?

I am sick and tired of these motherfucking superheros gettin all up in my motherfucking donut.

No?

Sorry AM, that sounds like SLJ is getting tired of all the super butt-sexing.

And we all know SLJ never tires of super butt-sexing.

Posted by: coveredinbees at March 29, 2010 4:26 PM

That's pure sex, people.

On top of all of the other awesomeness contained herein (including but not limited to: Cheadle! In a super-hero suit. ScarJo! Being not annoying and RDJ!) we have Sam L. Jackson in an eyepatch! Who doesn't love that? I think the man was born with an eyepatch.

RD-DayJ, if you never change it back, you can pretty much guarantee my lifelong adulation.

i just watched that with the sound off, and was sold. i prefer that kind of tease to a 3 minute trailer that walks me through the highlights of the film I am supposed to go see.

i'm a big fan of cheadle and downey, and yet what comes to mind is being slobbery in love with johanssen and happy to see her in a film, in any role.

so, is that spot better with sound?

doesn't matter, my overtaxed dollars are scrabbling to the theatre for a film franchise i started out being non-plussed with.

You've gotta be choosy with the name dropping, too much and you'll wear it out quickly.

Although it'll be some kind of shock when I show up to a Pajiba Party (PajibaCon? PXPW?) with my 5'5" tub o' lard self in a Star Wars t-shirt and a pair of Champion sweats.

I'm kidding, I'm gorgeous, let's keep it real here. Be thinkin' about ya ladies.

Posted by: RD-DayJ at March 29, 2010 10:21 PM

How cool is Iron Man 2?

I've watched this a dozen times, and I only just noticed how horrible ScarJo is going to be in this. Couldn't. Care. Less.

Posted by: D-Day at March 29, 2010 10:39 PM

I'm pretty sure we're getting more Cheadle this time around because damn near every theater went ape-shit at the mere glimpse of him in the last one. I know I did.

Whatever the reason, I welcome more War Machine.

Blaaaaah I really hope thats not ScarJo. She belongs in my masterbatorium, not in my superhero movies.
