JMHO

Here's to hoping they make at least one alcoholism joke in the movie.

I'm sure they will. I think I read somewhere that they're setting up the alchoholism story for future films. They couldn't have cast a better tony stark if they're going that route (if they were going to just do the rich playboy route, I think Clooney would have done well, too). I'm ecstatic about the casting.

I loved the Stark vs. Stane battles in the comics.

Especially liked the issue with the cover where the STARK sign is being changed to STANE.

Actually it was "Stark" to "Stane" - I had forgotten the lowercase lettering.

The cover said it all. Stark had finally lost everything.

Bump for getting excited.

I'm feeling hopeful.

I learned my lesson with "Star Trek V: The Final Frontier" when it comes to pre-movie hype, and the subsequent let down...

That said, I'm looking forward to "Iron Man"!

That's really odd. I'm not a ' trek guy (at all) and of the films I've seen I liked 5 the best.

Bill Shatner has touched me inappropriately.

That makes it an qualified yes, right?
