Iron Man 2 Gets Some Marketing Done

Not only does Whiplash, played by Mickey Rourke, in Iron Man 2 get his own poster, but let the VIRAL MARKETING BEGIN!!! Hurray! I love viral marketing. It makes movies more interesting and fun sometimes if it allows a good build up of story and information leading to the end result which is the film. I can’t wait to see where this goes. Check out the beginning of the viral marketing at the bottom.

Opening in theaters on May 7, 2010, the Jon Favreau-directed sequel stars Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Jon Favreau, Rourke, Sam Rockwell, Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson, Garry Shandling, John Slattery, Kate Mara, Clark Gregg and Olivia Munn.

Best Picture Films I Should Probably See

Apparently I have seen 43 of the past 95 films of the last 19 years nominated for best picture at the Academy Awards. I suppose I need to get the ball rolling and sit down and watch some more flicks.

I sat down and looked at Wiki’s list and compiled those that I have seen versus the ones I have not.

After the jump you can see the list if you want……

Neato: Jaws Concept Poster

A fun interesting fan made concept poster has been let loose on the interwebs for the Stephen Spielberg horror classic Jaws. It is pretty cool and I think you would probably agree with me.

Continuing to Build My Film Palette

Yet again I have once again spent my time to build up my film palette by trying to watch 100 films I have never seen before within 100 days. I originally began this adventure goal this Summer with trying to do the exact same thing, which I completed in 93 days. You can check out the first successful attempt right here.

As for this second time around, I finished in 92 days. I some how also managed to have time to watch all three seasons of Mad Men and during October I tend to watch a horror movie once a day. So I also have spent my time watching old movies that I have seen before.

This time around I tried watching classics, but also tried to keep up to date with current films out there and branch out to more independent films as well. As you may see in the list I added dates to note my progress and I started off very very slowly with only have watched 32 films in the first 46 days. But as you can tell the next 46 days, leading up to the finish, I had been able to finish my goal and watch an astonishing 68 films within that time. I can’t really explain how I was able to do it, especially with having to work, but I did it. It is practically 1.5 movies in the second half.

You can see all the movies on my 100 films within 100 days after the jump!

movies

So I had this goal for the Summer to build my film palette up. The g0al was to watch 100 movies that I have never seen before by the end of the Summer. Well, the final day of Summer has come and today I finished my goal with my 100th film! That makes 100 films in 93 days or 13 weeks. WOO! That’s a lot of movies. Averages out to 7.7 movies a week. I put no bias into what movies I decided to watch. I’ve seen some pretttttty bad movies and some really good movies and everywhere inbetween. This experiment was really fun and would love to try it again next year.

The entire list of films I saw after the jump:
