So you are expecting that GTA4 will overshadow Iron Man and cut into its box office proceeds?

Cut into its box office proceeds? No.
Overshadow Iron Man? Without a doubt. Especially since I heard it's being released for both platforms, (XBox 360 & PS3).
Think about it. The last GTA sold over 20 million copies. At $50 a copy, You're looking at over a billion dollars.

Well. That was hard to think about.
I guess beating up women with low morals and killing LEOs is a growth industry as far as video games go.
No wonder Uwe Boll has fans.

Click the link, tough guy.
Still catching revised (slightly different) TV trailers and they are looking A-list.
I may just break my own rule, break down, and actually go to the theatre next Firday night to see it.
The theatre should be relatively empty since, apparently, everyone else on the planet will be sitting at home playing GTA4.

I'll be sitting at home playing it and Uwe Boll should be banned from ever having anything to do with the entertainment world. He's a world class ass clown.

I don't know if this has been mentioned but did anyone notice that, among the cast of characters in the upcoming The Incredible Hulk movie starring Edward Norton, is listed Robert Downey, Jr, as Tony Stark.

I know! Pretty exciting, huh? I think it's a good idea to do this sort of thing. It happens all the time in comics and it always makes for a really good story.
I accidentally dropped a load of worthless change in the street. I was going to just leave it there but a burly policeman lumbered towards me and said, "You'd better pick that up, son."

You can expect a TON of this to happen in forthcoming Marvel stuff...for example there is the Nick Fury thing (Samuel L. Jackson) in Iron Man and the Deadpool cameo (with Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool) that is scripted in the Wolverine movie.
DC will likely begin doing more and more of it in their movies as JLA gets closer.
As a comic fan, Bones, I'm sure you understand about "building the continuity."
It will be fun (and sometimes funny) to watch.

We fanboys love that stuff. That's one of the only good things about the final Xmen movie, because of all the characters involved.
