IRON MAN 2 GOES 3D FOR SOME REASON
09.02.09Apparently Marvel and Paramount are considering converting Iron Man 2 to 3D at the last minute and are currently testing a converted one-minute clip of Mickey Rourke. The following rumor comes from Harry at AICN, so you’ll have to excuse the childlike writing and excessive exclamation points. (!!!!)
One birdy tweeted a secret tweet that put me on the scent [a secret tweet? how is the sound a whistle makes a secret? and how do you find the scent of a sound? does that require synesthesia? oh nevermind. -Ed] – and then I found other birdies to sing the same tune. So I can state that the following is absolutely true, though the final results have yet to be heard.
Right now, there is a 1 minute demo of IRON MAN 2 converted to high quality digital 3D. I’m told this one minute is totally like Kim Basinger & Mickey Rourke in 9 1/2 WEEKS. HOT! Crazy Hot! [they eat food in the sex scenes! that's why it gets me so horny!!!] Right now the Suits at Marvel & Paramount & now also Disney are considering this 1 minute.
At the same time that this is happening, they are fishing for bids with 3 different companies to see what the cost and time it would take to convert IRON MAN 2 to a complete 3D film. This same process is being done to Tim Burton’s ALICE IN WONDERLAND.
As you can read just about anywhere, there are some serious problems with converting live-action 2D to 3D after the fact. James Cameron bashed the process specifically in reference to Alice in Wonderland back in December. Meanwhile /Film offers their own detailed, technojargony explanation for why 3D conversion is teh gay.
Technology aside, I don’t like 3D because A. it ain’t any more realistic, and B. it hijacks your pupil and keeps you from being able to scan different parts of the frame as you would a painting or photograph. But just ask yourself this, how many times have you ever watched something and thought, “This would be better if only it was more like Captain EO.” In fact, there’s only one person I can imagine being happy about this.




I can see why white people would wear 3-D glasses when not watching a film. I mean, with not wanting to be harassed by the Bloods or the Crips and all…
Mickey Rourke is disturbing enough in 2D, thankew.
Mickey Rourke in 3D? They’ll have to change the genre of this from Action to Horror.
Hey-o, inkyP!
Marvel needs to make like a tree, and leave 3D the flock alone.
I’ve always wanted a cast-iron cod piece so close to my face that I can almost reach out and grab it.
S’okay, Vodka, that’s karma for my stomping on Chino’s dick on the last post.
Judging by the lad in the banner pic, taking Iron Man 3D might be a wee bit Fey…
Whiplash in 3D? No thank you. If I wanted to see whips coming at me, I’d start going by my African name.
I think this is just an excuse to make Scarlett’s boobs 3-D.
Marvel is considering this because it is a Stark contrast between 2D and 3D.
*hi, dust bunnies in the corner!*
Triple D boobies? WOOO!!
I thought 3-D stood for the 3 dicks sitting behind me that keep talking during the movie.
BANNER PIC:
Robert(to himself): I’m a lead farmer. I’m a lead farmer. I’m a lead farmer. Leaaaad farmer.
When will the porn industry start giving us swinging ballsacks and cumshots in 3D IMAX?

If a grown man ever said that sentence to me, I would shoot him right in his fucking face.
And I would help you, Donk.
Isn’t this movie a little grown-up for 3-D? That gimmick seems better for kid movies.
Yeah, Avatar, blah blah blah. But I’m not entirely convinced that it isn’t an old Playstation game.
I liked it better when 3D was given up on. Snap bracelets, pet rocks, my father, and 3D.
I’m going to do a 3D movie that’s nothing but Magic Eye pictures up on the screen for ten minutes at a time while Morgan Freeman narrates.
The good news is with this new 3D, any time you want to see the world as the drunken Tony Stark sees it, all you have to do is take off the stupid glasses.
is that billy zane near the 3d glasses?

I’m right with you Donk, except I’d make one exception for Mel Blanc Jr.
@Donk
Freeman: I wish I could tell you that the Scooby Gang fought the good fight, and noticed the Napoleon painting ogling them. I wish I could tell you that – but 3-D paintings hanging in a haunted house ain’t no fairy-tale world.
3D!? Indy Car Racing!!?? Mickey Rourke!!!???
This new Sherlock Holmes movie’s looking better every day.
FUCK MIKE, reading that made me want to slam someone’s dick in my desk drawer.
Al, if by desk drawer you mean lady parts then I’m your guy.
If you actually mean desk drawer you’ll have to talk to Burnsy. He’s freaky like that.
Harry Knowles is excited cause a little birdy told him “3D” stands for Doughnuts, Dumplings, and Doritos.
Nothing is more terrifying than the 3D image of a retard charging at you because is is happy to see you.
Can I mean both? The thought of the two of you here kinda turns me on.
Allllllriiiiiight!
Giggidy
Cake Farts 3D? Yyyyyeeeeesssssssss!
Holy hell I actually typed that in Quagmire’s voice!
Al, I think I heart you.
Harry Knowles would like 3-D even better if it had “esserts”
Wow it didn’t take long for Disney to start ruining hat Marvel does. Vance is right, we’re going to see a Jonas brother in one of these movies.
I want Jonas Brothers in Iron Man. Know how the Mandarin kills all kind of people all the time? Jonas can be part of those people.
