I so can't wait for this. A while back there was talk of a Black Widow movie as well. I wonder if that's still in the pipe. I would definitely be interested in seeing that if done right. That can be a really interesting character. The J.G.Jones / Dan Jurgens mini was phenomenal (Though I don't like the blonde widow)...

Well, even if it is, what Rappy said is true, so much praise on her at the moment, it just might :)

Yeah, isn't that crazy? So much praise and we haven't even seen her in motion. LOL I'm sure she'll be great though. I like her. I hope we get to see her in the Black Widow costume...

You know, I don't think I've ever seen Scarlet Johanson do accents. Is she inclined with that? I don't know how some of those actors / actresses do that... LOL It's amazing.

I cannot wait for this one, I loved the first one :woot:

Me too. It was my favorite of all of the Marvel movies, and Iron Man was probably my least favorite character going in. They made him so darn cool though. I'm a huge Iron Man fan now. LOL

At what I believe is one of the most anticipated panels at Comic-Con, we had Jon Favreau, Robert Downey Jr, Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Mickey Rourke, Scarlett Johannson on stage for the first sneak peek at Iron Man 2.

The crowed went nuts when Favreau came in. He said it started here, no one cared about Iron Man before they got here. He went right into a promotional reel that showed some behind the scenes shots. Robert Downey Jr. walked in and the crowd came to its feet.

He was ragging on Favreau on Feige for not showing some GOOD footage - and they all played it up.

It?s Favreau?s son?s 8th birthday and RDJ led the crowd in a rendition of Happy Birt:)ay. :)

Cut to footage?

[Eyes wide open, jaw hanging down, cheering]

After footage? Oh? My.

They?re going to hit it out of the park again, folks. The Iron Man 2 footage included Tony Stark being questioned by a Senate committee. He was total snark - they wanted the armor but he said he?s one with the armor so they would have to take him as well and that would ?be the equivalent of indentured servitude or prostitiution, depending on what state you?re in.? He also said they should be thanking him because he ?privatized world peace.?

There was a flurry of diffe * Mickey Rourke building the Whiplash suit and power core.

* Stark on the top of that donut shop in with the giant donut we?ve seen in the previous image - he meets with Sam Jackson as Fury in that same scene.

* Rourke as Whiplash in that initial scene at the raceway with his electrified whips (with a really cool lightning effect).

* Iron Man dodging incoming fire at night in an apparent attempt at flying towards either the Capital building or the White House (happened too fast, not sure which).

* Scarlett as Black Widow kicking some bad guy butt in a hallway.

* Sam Rockwell as Justin Hammer working out a weapons deal with Jim Rhodes.

* Introduction of Cheadle as Rhodey - I?m sorry but he instantly brought a sense of gravitas to the role with his very first word that I didn?t see at all with Cheadle.

* Oh, and a final shot of Rhodey in the War Machine armor tearing it up, standing on the ground, firing weapons out the wazoo in a circular pattern.wazoo in a circular pattern.

Scarlett had dyed her hair red when she showed up to meet Favreau for the part. She worked super hard to be able to do as much of her own stunts/fighting as possible.

Mickey Rourke plays an Ivan Venko/Whiplash amalgam (two villains from the comics). Favreau said that the Whiplash outfit is Ivan?s first attempt at the technology (Crimson Dynamo by the end of the film?). He mentioned

Favreau said that this film shows how Tony is handling the dual role of being himself and Iron Man and the stresses associated with that (when asked about the Demon in a Bottle storyline).

A question was asked about showing some love to highly regarded Iron Man artist Bob Layton, and Favreau called him up to the stage as he was sitting in the front row. Layton said he was invited to the set a couple of weeks ago and was treated like royalty, and thinks this film will blow the first one away.

ok that just sounds epic!

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      Useful to know, thanks!
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.

      I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By Nick H. · Posted

      <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...
