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

(So glad you joined in! And so glad my Internet squeaked out a little bandwidth for me.)

"For years I've been holding you up... I've built this company for NOTHING! And nothing's going to stand in my way. Least of all you."

Actually, I think I can twist it around into a little sense (an appropriately placed "now" would have made it all so clearer -heh-). For thirty years he's built the company but who gets the glory? Tony. Now he's going to take what's duly his, and if no one else can kill Tony, he will. (Okay, that's my take at trying to make sense out of a madman's words. Ha!)

who's responsible for the success of the company, the businessman or the idea man? Clearly, Obadiah thinks it's the businessman, i.e. himself.

Or ... Obie thought he had pulled together a team of truly crack scientists/engineers who could do what Tony does (oh yeah right, like there could be two Nikola Teslas living in one lifetime?) and could, therefore, toast the Tone. And of course when they failed him so spectacularly toward the end with not only not being able to miniaturize the arc reactor but saying it was impossible, he jumped the Stshark to uberebil.

Oooh! I like that! The straw that broke the camel's back, so to speak. "HE BUILT THIS IN A CAVE. FROM A BUNCH OF SCRAPS." He probably as under no illusions that together they were as smart as Tony, but he thought they were good enough, and to find out that even with excessive planning (maybe killing Howard was a whim, and the second time around he promised himself he'd cover all the bases just to be sure) that he still failed to account for all the variables probably just drove him to want to literally take the situation into his own hands. Big metal ones. With guns on the end of 'em. 'Cause I don't know about you, but when I think of Stark Industries, the first thing that comes to my mind is "subtlety." Right?

(also, "toast the Tone" just makes me lol in general. heeee.)

"HE BUILT THIS IN A CAVE. FROM A BUNCH OF SCRAPS."

Seriously, I have been saying that full-time for two weeks about every piece of equipment I own. "TONY STARK MADE THIS IN A CAVE. FROM A BOX OF SCRAPS." It feels so nice to yell about my cell phone this way.

But YES to both you guys, YES YES YES. Maybe he thought that having LOTS of smart scientists was the equivalent of having ONE Tony Stark! Because... well, he's a businessman, he doesn't know how engineering things work.
