Watching Iron Man 3 for the third time
« on: October 03, 2013, 05:15:10 PM »
This time I'm watching with the director's commentary.

I'm at the scene where Aldridge Killian is at Stark Enterprises HQ and talking to Pepper. Harold "Happy" Hogan, the body guard is outside her office. Killian's evil henchman is also sitting outside Pepper's office smacking his chewing gum and anxiously perusing a Forbe's magazine without actually reading it. Happy starts tapping his ID badge as he has been doing for the entire scene with an annoying over-zealousness.

The henchman picks up the badge to show Happy that he has one but as a sign of nonchalant disdain he picks it up, upside down and backwards so as to obscure the face of it. That's pretty obvious. What isn't so obvious after that he then eyes (scopes-out/ogles) a female employee walking past. The commentators made no mention of this fact and that set me to wondering which set me to robbing you of the 30 seconds of your life to read this post.

Now, movie productions are a tightly executed affair. Was the female extra directed to walked past the henchman at that exact time and the henchman was directed to ogle her or was it pure happenstance, improvisation by the actor?

Or am I the only one who sees these things?

I was kinda hoping to see moviebuff in here...only with extra carrier returns to separate his paragraphs.

SPOILER: Characters are established, the main plot unfolds but is hindered by a deep-seated personal crisis in the protagonist's life and then the plot is resolved after a last minute moral crisis lavishly dappled with "Ooh-aah!"CGI effects.

bitches!
