Freedom Hangs Like Heaven.
Iron Man set to Iron and Wine.
20MB, XviD or play in VLC
I'm going to end up recutting this when the DVD comes up because right now, there's this CERTAIN SCENE where SOME FUCKING DOUCHEBAG decides to HANG HIS FUCKING HAND off the side of the CAMERA and then some other asshole walks across andf;lkjgdf. I couldn't figure out a way to cut around it, so that scene sucks. And there's one bit where Rhodey is a talking head, but I figured that I've wasted a week of my life already on this.
So yes. Iron Man and Iron and Wine with Calexico production. And just ignore the fact that they use the wrong reign/reins on that Forbes cover. XD

And Uncle Tony drops by to play with he kids and have silent fits of emo about how this is the life he could have had (but not really), which he deals with by teaching the babies a list of really charming things they should say to Mommy and the girls in their class and their priest.

Date: 2008-05-27 11:17 pm (UTC)THAT WAS TOTALLY THE HUSBAND IN NUMBER EIGHT, RIGHT?
Because that's what I totally chose to believe when I was reading that, just so you know.
...which he deals with by teaching the babies a list of really charming things they should say to Mommy and the girls in their class and their priest.
God, Tony Stark will totally pull a Will from "About a Boy" wouldn't he? When Pepper tells Agent Coulson she wants him to be the godfather to their baby daughter, he'd probably freak out and be all "YOU KNOW HE'LL JUST TRY AND SLEEP WITH HER THE MOMENT SHE TURNS EIGHTEEN, RIGHT?" And Pepper would remind him that Tony Stark does have a soul, and besides, Jarvis would call her if he even so much as smirks in her general direction, so stop worrying.
Awww. We've reached the fluffy portion of our mutual madness. Finally.
Re: second time through = golden. i'm thinking about going time #3.
Date: 2008-05-27 11:19 pm (UTC)Also, totally off topic, but speaking of fics, I just read that fucking hot thing that svillficrecs wrote about, like, Tony SUCKING PEPPER'S FEET and then them DOING IT HARDCORE and then TAKING AN EMOTIONALLY CHARGED SHOWER.
And I think I now have both a foot and a beard fetish. Jesus.
Um. But back to talking about Tony' mom. Yeah. Yeah, I bet she sucked. We should, ah, write shit about that. About how sucky she was. Maybe she was Obidiah. DUM DUM DUMMMM.

YEAH, PEPPER KNOWS HOW DANGERUOS THOSE SMIRKS ARE.
Also, I wouldn't put it past Pepper to insert some kind of subroutine/extra equipment mod Jarvis that would deliver an electrical shock to Tony each time he let his eyes wander south of her chin.
Re: second time through = golden. i'm thinking about going time #3.
Date: 2008-05-27 11:31 pm (UTC)(Tony, for the record, would be so hilarious pregnant. Dear God.)
Re: second time through = golden. i'm thinking about going time #3.
Date: 2008-05-27 11:37 pm (UTC)AHAHAHA. YES. YES. SHE WOULD.
And Jarvis would be all miffed as she tooled around with his subroutines, explaining petulantly that she only had to ask.
Oh, man, I kind of want Pepper/Jarvis now. Dammit.
Can I link to this in my next YDIMS post? Because GOD THIS WAS SO MUCH FUN.
Re: second time through = golden. i'm thinking about going time #3.
Date: 2008-05-27 11:40 pm (UTC)GOD I KNOW. Also, the whole first part in the limo, holy moly, I wanted Limo!Banging fic (with Happy listening in of course, because he's Happy. And he's EVERYWHERE) so badly after that, it was a little embarrassing.
Their whole confrontation in the workshop, with Tony wanting to talk about his FEELINGS and Pepper being all DO NOT WANT was a delicious switch from the usual.
(speaking of Happy, him chilling outside the Arc Reactor warehouse smoking a cigarette against the car was...kind of hot? Oh, Favreau. One day I'll learn to spell your name w/o googling it, but you are kinda dreamy in your little hair piece and suit.)
Re: second time through = golden. i'm thinking about going time #3.
Date: 2008-05-27 11:43 pm (UTC)Although now I'm deeply embarrassed by me and and my dropped words and inexplicable typos. I SWEAR, I have them only because at any moment, I expect the Internet Police to walk into my office at any moment and say, "Look, we know what you've been looking at. You have five minutes to collect your belongings while Rosa Klebb watches menacingly from the door."

Date: 2008-05-28 12:17 am (UTC)And OMG YES TONYYYY the whole thing and the feet thing and I can utterly see it happening just like that with the footrubs and then with Rhodey in the plane I just cringed when Tony started doing the foot thing because DUH HELLO TONY and it's like he was pushing the subject but didn't know how to do it without making everyone totally uncomfortable.
And, wow, his MOUTH. I am fixated. His fucking MOUTH.
I should really be leaving all this as a comment over there. Oh well.
(HEEEE FAVREAU'S HAIRPIECE. I love knowing that more than nearly any trivia ever.)

Date: 2008-05-28 12:38 am (UTC)I really think that's what sets Iron Man apart from most other superhero movies aside from X-Men, the characters feel like they have actual interiority.
exactly. Yes!

Date: 2008-05-28 01:35 am (UTC)Anyways, thanks for watching it. And you are more than welcome to jump into the convo up above. It's more on temporary hold, I suspect, than actually ended.
the tony stark pregnancy rider.
Date: 2008-05-28 01:43 am (UTC)Would they have to build a pouch in the suit? For the bump.
Re: the tony stark pregnancy rider.
Date: 2008-05-28 01:46 am (UTC)I hate you. So much. The janitors think I'm crazy.
(now we totally know who designed Cable's bitchin' babeh carrier.)

Date: 2008-05-28 04:51 pm (UTC)Maybe Tony was groomed from the start to be the dimwitted face of Stark Industries
Oh, I think definitely this. I think Obediah quickly, deftly, and purposefully stepped into Dad's shoes. Of course he provided love and comfort to the grieving son ... but he also started providing everything needed to induce/feed any and all addictive tendencies in an emotionally-damaged, immature young man (booze, sex, gambling, you-name-it). Because what better way to control Tony? What better way to prevent him from ever actually maturing ... keeping him the "boy genius" who was satisfied with playing with his "toys": the engineering feats that made SI shareholders rich and the addictions that kept him in line.
And it worked. Until Afghanistan. Until Tony, in his mid-30's, did in 3 months what should have happened at a younger age over a longer period of time ... he "matured". He came back a changed man (though still and even more so messed up) ... to an unchanged world. He unwittingly fell into old habits (the whole sinking gratefully into Obie's care and embrace before the press conference) but expecting something different, something that fit his new "reality".
The first real kick was Rhodey's rejection in the hangar. Totally blind-sided Tony. Like a kid who's best friend had been happily playing with him one minute and then slapped him, made fun of him, and kicked him out of the treehouse the next. Serious ow.
And then he actually "saw" Pepper for the first time. Fell into his old habits of stalk-and-acquire. But his old habits didn't sit right with his new self, though he didn't consciously realize it. I loved the scene on the balcony where Pepper succumbs to his unholy magnetism and leans in for the kiss, but he's the one who stands there like a deer in the headlights, not jumping on the opportunity (like normal). Then gratefully running away to get drinks while trying, on some level, to process what in the hell had just happened ... and then the photos. Getting ripped from his confusing "new" world to be thrown with PTSD-intensity back into captivity/survival world.
Finally, he puts two and two together, which intensifies the conflict and confusion in his head and tosses in an increasing dose of pain. And then Obie tells him the truth. With a no-longer-caring "embrace" ... in a mean, ugly voice ... and with eyes that no longer try to hide his true feelings for this stupid child-in-a-man's-body who had always been a nuisance and had now actually messed with Obediah's world. "Bled out" is such an accurate description of Tony's shock.
Can I just say now that when Obie called him "a little prick" later, my heart hurt a lot. I can imagine that some part of Tony probably didn't care if the blast from the reactor killed him (Tony).
[sighs heavily] Thank you for letting me join, if only for a moment.

Date: 2008-05-28 08:04 pm (UTC)I, uh, may have plotted out a tony-and-rhodey-at-mit fic while gone. and written four different attempts at tony/pepper post-sex dialogue, nothing of which either of them would actually say. will kick off the training wheels one of these days for sure.
