Today I caught up on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D and after that decided to finally watch the pretext movies I haven’t seen yet. I was really hesitant to watch Ironman 3 because I loved the first two movies. And yeah, the third sucks big time, just as expected. Logic is no part at all of the plot, it’s amazing. Sitting on tons of totally awesome equipment Tony gets his arse beaten up badly and is only allowed to use a prototype and some makeshift stuff. And nobody knows why but the authors…I don’t want to get into any details to not spoil you the experience of being horrified by a bad movie…
On the upside, there is Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. I definitely liked Josh Whedon stuff before but I never developed that flaming love of a fangirl growing up with Buffy. I guess this still won’t happen but he really did an awesome job on the show. Every single episode is more fun than the whole Ironman 3 movie. No kidding.
Today I also tried maxdome.de the first time. 5€ for Ironman 3 in HD. On the upside it was available in English. On the downside, it’s not working under linux, the quality is questionable and THEY DO NOT OFFER SURROUND SOUND! Dafuq? Paying a fiver for the right to watch a 9gb drm movie for 48 hours is one thing but getting it in stereo is weird as hell. So please Marvel: Clone some Whedons to get your shit together and give the world a possibility to watch your stuff online without having to resort to piracy…
