You might have guessed it already…. but I recently saw Iron Man… And it… was… AWESOME!
A unique blend of action, some drama, and comedy… all in the right proportion… none of which are overdone!
So naturally I started to follow, even more deeply, news about Iron Man 2…
And here it is (most of it is actually quite recent):
- Favreau, wants very much to have ‘War Machine’ in the second film… There was actually a hint to this in the first film itself.. when Rhodey looks at the older suit and says something like ‘next time baby’ Now for those who dont know.. ‘War Machine’ is basically Rhodey (the military guy who’s a friend of Stark), with the older suit! Awesome isnt it!
- Happy Hogan (who is Stark’s chauffer, and is actually played by Favreau himself I think) will have more of a role…
- The Mandarin, is going to be the major villian of the trilogy (yes trilogy!) He is the one in the background controlling things…
- He will complicate the character’s personal stories, but keep the main plot plain, simple, and fun… basically he doesnt want to go down the The Dark Knight path, as he says…
- He realizes that the main battle of Iron Man wasnt ’spectacular’, and will rectify that in the sequel…
- Finally he see’s the trilogy as a more connected plot… as he says.. more like LOTR, and less like spiderman…
- Also… he wants to… if possible, and allowable by his budget, to make the film in 3D!
Also whats new…
I mentioned earlier about Spiderman 4 and 5… and it appears, that both Raimi and Tobey are in… that’s about all…
And some of Transformers… i kopy-pasted this from rottentomatoes… please have mercy on my soul…
- Seven construction vehicles merge to form Devastator
- Devastator has lots of upper body strength, like a gorilla
- Not just green, some of the vehicles are red and yellow
- The previously Long Haul concept art by Josh Nizzi is legit
I leave it up to you to interpret that…
Also wassup with me?
Well…
I have been quite busy recently… learning some PHP by directly jumping in the middle of it!
I had this idea a loong time ago… as some of you might know… of making an online book trading system for the Drishtant website… and I always shrugged off learning PHP because I had nothing to do with it.. no project… So I decided… this is it… i’m gonna make this piece of shit… And I did!.. Well not exactly.. I mean it’s not complete, mostly done, but not complete, I’ll put it up online most probabily by Sunday.. maybe only before that…
It is basically a ‘plugin’ for joomla, which runs the website now…
What is does is:
It allows you list all the books that you have, and it allows you to browse through all the books that other people are sharing.
But you cannot see who own’s which book… when you click on the borrow button, a request to borrow the book is sent to the owner of the book.
The owner of the book can now see who wants to borrow it, and approve or deny your request, based on whether he/she is comfortable lending the book to said person…
If the request is approved, the owner can just give the book to whoever wanted it.. and if it is denied…
Well then nothing… The ‘requester’ wont find out who owned the book…
In a close society like Drishtant… it may be difficult to actually make sure noone knows who owns which book, but still… this system is useless over long distances anyway…
