Cool Stuff: Fan-Made Animatronic Iron Man Suit By Germain Lussier/May 15, 2014 11:02 am EST The reason people relate to Tony Stark so much is he’s just a regular guy. A “Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist” to sure, but a normal guy nonetheless. He made Iron Man with his bare hands and that’s something we can relate to. Some, more than others. Online user named Honus67, for example. He made an animatronic Iron Man suit that works almost exactly like the real thing....

J.J. Abrams, Christopher Nolan And Quentin Tarantino Help Keep Film Stock In Production By Russ Fischer/July 30, 2014 11:45 am EST Film ain’t dead. It is having a hard time, but that combination of polyester and emulsion that records light with such a warm, natural “feel” still has its adherents.

We still don’t know how the film really plays out, and won’t for a while, but after an intense swell of interest in The Wolverine I think the film has to regain audience trust....
