How awesome is that?<div><br /></div><div>There was a bit of drama <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/04/30/goodness-prevails-iron-man-screening-is-on/">which you can read about here</a> which appeared to come from Marvel, but in fact was instigated by the lovely people at Oracle. You know, the company with the billionaire who got his taxes reduced on his massive Japanese-style estate because, well the poor guy is just hurtin, it seems.</div><div><br /></div><div>Anyway, the movie was great, the Oracle people weren&#39;t all douche-y to us TechCrunch partisans, and the movie itself was very entertaining. The &quot;Iron Man&quot; looked real, and Robert Downey Jr. was kicking some ass.&#160;</div><div><br /></div><div>Fun Fact: &quot;Ralphie&quot; from &quot;A Christmas Story&quot; was one of the producers! No joke!</div></p> <p style="clear:both;"> <a href="http://njudah.vox.com/library/post/iron-man-rocked.html?_c=feed-rss-full#comments">Read and post comments</a> | <a href="http://www.vox.com/share/6a00c225266ef7549d00f48d1265fd0001?_c=feed-rss-full">Send to a friend</a> </p> scifi review ironman awesomefilm
