Who is the real Iron Man?
If a guy with some (ok a lot of time on his hands) can build the suit for real...
is it better or worse...does it keep the cinema alive or shatter it, that the studio did this?

He may forever be associated with the failure that was SPIDER-MAN 3, but Topher Grace will always remain a geek at heart.
News broke today that Topher Grace premiered his own redux of the STAR WARSprequel saga, something that all of us film nerds have dreamt about doing. We live in an age where posting fan fiction and film edits is not a rarity, but when a celebrity undertakes such a project it garners notice from the mainstream media.
STAR WARS EPISODE III.5: THE EDITOR STRIKES BACK premiered at an undisclosed location in Hollywood where invitees included actors, actresses, writers, and other filmmakers. Not quite the typical crowd for a fan film.
The original article breaks down the vast changes and edits that result in an 85 minute version of George Lucas' series but here are some highlights:
Jake Lloyd's "Annie" is completely gone.
Jar Jar Binks is reduced to a single line.
The word "clone" occurs once.
Darth Vader never says "Nooooooooooooooo!"
I for one hope that George Lucas embraces experiments like these and maybe some day we will get to see the fruits of Grace's labor. For now, only that select group has had a chance to see his edit.
Either way, it can't get any worse than what is officially released, right?

Man from Nowhere
...is now available on Netflix and Hulu! If you liked Taken or Oldboy, see this now. Gotta love Korean revenge cinema. Don't take my word for it, check out Gizmodo's take.

Imagine a man with Chuck Norris' tenacity, Jason Bourne's fighting prowess, Vlad the Impaler's viciousness, and Bryan Mills' motivation. That man pales compared to the single-minded destruction factory that is Tae-Sik Cha, a former CIA spook frantically searching for a missing child.
The Man from Nowhere follows Tae-Sik, a special agent turned pawn broker, as he is pulled into the seedy world of organized drug and organ trafficking. He's searching for a young girl and neighbor who's been kidnapped by a vicious gang after her mother had stolen their latest score. Despite his initial reticence, Tae-Sik grows into a John Wayne-caliber hero, rescuing children from servitude—or worse, being sold off piece-by-piece—and systematically dismantling the crime syndicate, as well as its members.
This isn't just some cheap knockoff of Taken. If anything, the reverse is true. Where Taken seemed to jump from plot point to plot point with little regard to consistency or character, The Man From Nowhere offers a masterfully compelling, nuanced story that, despite the ultraviolence, is surprisingly poignant. The acting is genuine—nothing like Alan Rickman's Hans—and the casting is spot-on.
I've been a huge fan of violent crime dramas and action flicks since I was a kid. And I thought I had seen just about every crazy fight scene premise there is to see—including Dae-su Oh bludgeoning his way through a hallway filled with two dozen gang members armed with nothing but a claw hammer (Oldboy, watch it)—but damn was I wrong. Watching Tae-Sik disassemble—literally—eight guys using nothing but a pen knife is simply jaw-dropping. Actually, I think I'll go ahead an put it on right now. [Netflix - Hulu]

The Karate Rap
Is this a commentary more on '80s music or Karate? I'm not sure what to say about this....
