Stronger (Harder, Better, Faster)

Tony Stark set to Kanye West and Daft Punk
XVid, 35MB

The song is on my default playlist, and last week, in the throes of full-blown fandom crazy, I started obsessing about what a fantastic track this would make for an Iron Man vid. And then one of the DOOMTHREADS -- it is 4:30AM, and I am too brainfried to figure out where, even with Gmail's halfway decent search engine -- somebody mentioned wanting to see it. And uh. I was too tired to write tonight, so here! HAVE MY OBSESSION.

Started at 10PM or so of Friday night, finished around 4AM of Saturday morning. Not much in the way of movie-independent storytelling, which is probably why it came together so easily. It usually takes me about eight hours per minute, but I banged this together in way, way under that. Think more like a 5:20 recap of the movie than anything else.

also, on a totally meta level, this description of Tony

...it's pure Tony Stark performance until he starts talking to Everhart about his Dad and, more clearly, when he's down in the shop with the music blasting and NOT TALKING AT ALL.

is totally RDJ's speciality. He manages to make the silences his characters go through as much a characterization moment than what comes out of their mouths, if not more so. That's frikking talent.

Oh man. He's so good at it. And Jon Favreau is so good at working with him. I mean, I keep trying to figure out just how RDJ manages to be so effective in the bit when Obediah leaves him on the red carpet is so horribly sad or how RDJ manages to convey OMFG FURY AND REPRESSED EMOTION when he's fixing his arm, but about 0.15 seconds into it, I just get totally sucked in.

RDJ. HOW ARE YOU SO GOOD? AM I JUST THAT MUCH OF A FANGIRL? DON'T ANSWER THE LATTER.

RDJ is freaking amazing. And he was fairly restrained in Iron Man. I mean, at least I wasn't scared for the man's sanity while watching this one.

He is amazing at getting across very complex emotions with just his face and body language.
