The day we’ve all been waiting for fast approaches, my friends. We don’t know about you, but the BCU staff has been counting down the days till we get to drink a couple 40s each and watch the most anticipated superhero sequel of the year. That’s right, the red and gold man himself- IRON MAN 2. However, some of our non-geek friends are being a little rude, saying our watching of the trailer 4 times a day is “annoying,” and calling Robert Downey Jr. “RDJ” is “creepy.”

So for all of you naysayers out there, here are the top 5 reasons you should be excited about Iron Man 2.

1) It’s the first good action movie this year

No offense to “How to Train Your Dragon,”  cause I’m sure that movie was entertaining, but come on. When I pay 27 bucks for a movie (or whatever ungodly price they are now) I expect to be on the edge of my seat, slack jawed, for at least 75% of the movie. If Iron Man 2 is anything like the first (it will be), I will probably have acquired late-onset scoliosis from the excitement.

2) Scarlett Johanssen

Is b-b-b-bangin’. See:  Scarlett Johanssen in Iron Man 2

3) The new Audi R8 V10 Convertible

As you know, I personally despise product placement. Until now. That commercial where Tony Stark gets in that eggshell blue Audi… sweet baby hedgehogs it gets my blood pumping. (Hey Audi, I’ll take my free car now, thanks)

4) Things Getting Blown Up

Considering the most recent explosion we’ve experienced was the BP oil rig explosion that could potentially destroy the seafood industry and kill millions of sea animals, I wouldn’t mind seeing some things get blown up that won’t dramatically alter the planet’s well-being.

5) Robert Downey Jr. (RDJ) is a friggin’ badass.

Christian Bale, Tobey Maguire, and that Ken doll that played Superman can all suck it, Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark is the ultimate take-no-prisoners badass mo fo. Unlike Christian Bale who just looks like he has some prissy diva anger issues, RDJ has proven himself as a hardcore jerk who doesn’t give a two youknowwhats about being the nice guy, as exemplified by his getting arrested for possession of heroin, cocaine, and a .357-caliber Magnum handgun. Yeah, that’s right, Hugh Jackman, take your perfectly chiseled Australian jaw line and affinity for romantic comedies and shove it, because RDJ is the coolest superhero since Adam West.

PEACE OUT, NERDS.
