According to most of the Apple rumor sites there’s a rumor about AT&T Wireless restricting vacationing time from June to July.

If it’s true, thank you for the heads up, most of us were figuring the new 3G Apple Phone was dropping sometime around WWDC (June 9-13) anyway and this type of rumor (true or not) cements it even further.

And, if anyone is in the Boston area on the 16th, their new store is opening at 6pm.

Spaced Region 1 DVD arrives on July 22nd.

Iron Man in a nutshell

Basically, Bruce Wayne, minus the parents dying is overseas showing off the new weapons systems his company created when his convoy is attacked, he’s wounded by his own company’s weapon and then saved by the enemy so then he can build them another one.

And, with the help of another captive he builds a suit of armor to get him out of captivity and home again only to turn over a new leaf and build possibly one of the best looking live action Iron Man armors I’ve ever seen.

I’ve ruined nothing of the movie for you since this story arc was written back in the 60’s with the Viet Cong being the antagonists instead. This is a movie that while it’s based on the comic book of the same name is not a comic adaptation it is instead a movie about what if Howard Hughes actually did live in the Twentieth Century and built a portable suit of armor.

From casting to script to SFX this movie is nigh perfect. And, the universe it’s creating via the end credit scene is something every comic book fan has been dreaming of. We have gotten our Ultimates and it’s up there on the widescreen as it should be.

The one, and only bad thing I can think of about this movie is the fact that : The action is almost too quick and some of the shots aren’t centered. I dunno if the centering problem was done purpose so it didn’t look like an action movie.

The crowd we saw it with was large so I don’t foresee GTA being a problem. The only problem was too many frackin’ kids. Does PG-13 mean anything anymore? And, mind you, this movie wasn’t PG-13 in spots it was downright R.

Marvel Studios did good. This is how all their movies should be. Let’s hope for no more Spider-Man 3s or X3s. Bring on Iron Man 2.

Cox Road Race/New Balance 5k is this Sunday.
