Watch Out Tony Stark! The Japanese are the Real Iron Men!!!!

Photo: AFP/GETTY

Japan has been building killer robots for years (Astro Boy, Mobile Suit Gundam, The Prius), but now they've invented Iron Man type Power-Assisted Suits!

CLICK HERE!!!!

The metal-and-plastic outfit boasts eight electric motors that amplify the strength of the wearer's arms and legs, as well as sensors that can detect movements and respond to commands through a voice-recognition system.

The suits can reduce the user’s physical effort by 62 per cent on average.

Fifteen years in the making, the “robosuit” is due to hit the Japanese market in 2012 when it will initially retail for about one million yen (£8,100), a price tag its makers hope to halve if the device is mass-produced.

Honestly I'm most worried for Godzilla. It seems like now it's only a matter of time before MechaGodzilla is unleashed!!!

We Love Iron Man

That's right, if you heard our show on Saturday night you heard us gush on and on about how much we loved Iron Man (of course having Jon Favreau & Robert Downey Jr. unexpectedly stop by the theater to introduce the movie didn't hurt our feelings about it)! And to all those of you that kept saying it would only earn $70 million because no one cares about Iron Man, well it looks like we were absolutely right for mocking you (ha ha ha ha)! Over $100 million domestic and $200 million worldwide gross? That's right skeptics, put that in your pipe and smoke it!

As far as I am concerned Iron Man is a great movie first and foremost and a superhero movie second. It couldn't have been cast more perfectly, I was even pleased with Gwenyth Paltrow's performance as Pepper Potts. The thing that disappointed me most about Iron Man is that I have to wait for a sequel.

For all you fanboys, you should be quite pleased that the story and characters truly mesh with the comic book lore and it is quite apparent that Jon Favreau & Robert Downey Jr. had real care for & connection to the comic and in Robert's case the character of Tony Stark.

I must say I was especially impressed with the CGI/Motion Capture. I have never seen flying look so real. I don't think it takes much of a stretch of the imagination to believe that there was a man in the Iron Man suit and he was actually flying, in fact I would go so far as to say I have never seen flying in a movie look so good.

Congratulations to Marvel on their first indepenently financed feature! You have proven that sticking with the comics is the way to go! Big studios take note, this is how you do a comic book adaptation (or any adaptation for that matter). If you think a story is good enough to make a movie from then you must follow Iron Man's lead and stay true to it.

If you haven't seen the movie yet stick around all the way through the credits (it won't hurt you to wait in your seat a few minutes) for a spectacular final scene with a great cameo.

This is definitely a movie worth seeing in the theater (I plan to see it multple times).

EXCELSIOR!! STAN LEE TRUE BELIEVER PANEL

So instead we headed to the Stan Lee True Believer panel where Stan the Man talked about a new documentary about his life and work. He was accompanied by legendary artist Dick Ayers, Paul Levitz head of DC, X-Men/Transformers producer Tom Desanto and Michael Uslan Executive Producer of Dark Knight and The Spirit. It was a great junket, Stan was hilarious and I swear he has 10 times more energy than either of us and he's like 50-60 years older, so that's just sad. Stan talked about the early days of Marvel and where Excelsior! came from, "years ago I used to write this column Stan's Soapbox and I would end every column with some sort of stupid phrase like Face-Front!, or Hang Loose! anything I could think of, and some how or another...Nuff Said... I would see those expressions cropping up in the DC books, they were called the National Books at the time. So I said to myself I've got to come up with some sort of expression where A they won't know what it means and B they won't know how to spell it.. so I got Excelsior, and I hope I'm not jinxing myself by saying this because I might start seeing it crop up now, but until now excelsior has been ours alone!"
Paul Levitz answered a question about killing off comic characters and bringing them back to life, "I always thought the rule was if you show the dead body you weren't allowed to bring them back, but if you didn't show the body then you can play any trick you can come up with as a writer" Then Stan Lee expressed, "A comic book writer is like God, because who else can say, 'gee I killed that character last issue, I think I'll bring them back to life!' Its the most amazing feeling! You can kill someone, bring them back to life, you can wound them and then in the next panel their wound is miraculously healed you can do anything when you write comics, in fact I'm beginning to wonder if there is something a little bit God like about us? (Stan looks at the rest of the panel) I said US! I don't want to monopolize it all!"


Then we heard about Stan Lee at Carnegie Hall "Would you like to be in Carnegie Hall? and so I thought it was a joke, but he actually paid, he hired the hall and he put together some kind of little show. and I couldn't believe it, I was walking down 57Th street, in front of Carnegie Hall and There's a big sign, 'Tonight Stan Lee and Marvel', 'A day With Stan' whatever it was called, and it was a nonsensical show because we had nothing planned it was almost like this, but we got up there and we talked and kidded around and Roy Thomas was there and I think we had a band of people who were in comics, and people talked about comics and it was a crazy evening, and it was standing room only that's the funny thing, there were people standing around the aisles so I said to myself this is such a big success it will probably go on, it will be the longest running show, the next day they had something else and we were never invited back, but I had my one day at Carnegie Hall."
Stan talked about his cameos "obviously when a producer wants to make sure his movie will be a hit, Hey! let's have Stan do a cameo!...it's obvious" Then Stan described his new cameo on Iron Man, "I do a scene where I'm with 3 gorgeous blonde's, and Robert Downey walks over behind me and taps me on the shoulder and I have a few lines to say with Robert Downey!" For a video of this CLICK HERE Who knows who the 3 blonde's are but we here at Geek World bet it will be Hugh Hefner's Girls Next Door Holly, Bridgette and Kendra.


Then they showed a 9 min clip from the documentary, that had interviews with guys like Joe Quesada, Todd Mcfarlane, Nicolas Cage, and unfortunately Brett Ratner, and confusingly Paris Hilton saying "Stan's Hot". Everyone pretty much said the same thing that we all already know, comics as we know them today are because of the work of Stan Lee. However it looks like a really cool doc that we'll definitely check out when it drops (do DVD's drop? or just albums?).


After the clip Stan talked about his new projects through his company POW! "It has a exclamation point so it doesn't look like prisoner of war" entertainment including one with Paris where he said "I'm working on a project with Paris Hilton obviously with her it's a very refined, intellectual, philosophical.. no its a cartoon series...and it's going to be very funny and she's quite good, obviously she just does a voice, but her voice is good, for the character we portray, which is her, she can do her very well!" the crowd laughed and overall it was a fun time. We have video of the clip HERE


Michael Uslan announced that their shortly going to start principle photography on the Frank Miller written and directed movie of Will Eisners The Spirit , and Tom Desanto confirmed a Transformers sequel in the works as well as a City of Heroes (a popular PC game) live action pic. Michael Uslan then said about the Dark Knight shooting in Chicago, "Stan promised me if I talked the directors into letting him do a cameo it will guarantee at least another $100 million in the box office... I don't know if I can get Chris to do it but I'm working on it Stan."


The panel was great and there's no doubt why his nickname is "The Man". We then went on a quest for free stuff and to see all the wackiness on the floor.
