I can't wait for the dvd release, I already have a fan made vid planned out
My favorite part was seeing that one dude go back to playing Galaga. I thought Robert Downey Jr. was just adlibbing and it was a quick funny joke, but the final shot of the guy going back to playing Galaga had me fucking DYING! :laugh:

I loved how happy Capt got when he got the "Flying Monkeys" reference :anime:
Well, it was one of the best movies during his time... All in black and white.. :laugh:
The Wizard of Oz was in colour :sly:
It’s the day after filming the new scene — weirdly, two days after the premiere — and Chris Hemsworth and Jeremy Renner are seated at a conference table in the Four Seasons Hotel, joking about the look of their respective LEGO figurines. Mark Ruffalo is playing “Hulk SMASH!†with a few of the Hasbro toys scattered across the table while Joss Whedon looks on. We’re waiting for the rest to arrive.
Robert Downey Jr. has just entered the room, and immediately begins mocking the prosthetic that Evans needed to hide his beard for the scene. (Evans also, you’ll notice, covers his face throughout that footage by resting his cheek against his hand.)
“Where is Chris Evans? Getting his face replaced?†Downey asks.
Evans hasn’t arrived yet, but that doesn’t hold back Downey. “Chris, why the long face? Chris, why the WRONG face?†Downey says as the other guys laugh.
Ruffalo shakes his head, his lips pursed. “Oh no …â€
“I felt so bad for him!†Hemsworth says, wincing. He makes a swallowed sound, like someone trying to speak through glued-shut lips.
Downey twists his face into an Elephant Man snarl. “Hey guys, I am not an animal,†he mutters.
Pah! Out of nowhere, a rocket from an Iron Man toy fires just past Ruffalo’s head, nearly hitting the real Iron Man beside him.
“What the f–k did you just do?†Downey asks, still giddy.
Ruffalo is still turning over the toy, trying to figure that out. “I just shot myself,†he shrugs.
Whedon, who has been silent this whole time (making ixnay eyes because THERE’S AN EW REPORTER SITTING RIGHT THERE) finally gives up, and tells Downey: “Thank you for having every reporter ask me what we were shooting.â€
“You’re welcome,†Downey says, unapologetic about revealing plans for the scene at a press conference the afternoon before.
Whedon was exaggerating, of course. Not every reporter had asked that question … yet.
“So what were you shooting today?†your friendly neighborhood EW reporter inquires.
Whedon squints his eyes, like Mr. Peabody when he’s fed up with Sherman.
Downey opens his arms. “Carnival barker!†he declares. “Last night, I just wanted to make sure the excitement was there.â€
Whedon breaks into an impression of what he’s been dealing with all day: “’So I hear you’re shooting a scene?’†he says in the voice of a curious reporter. Leaning back and twiddling his thumbs, the filmmaker offers his fake-smiley response: “‘I’m sure I don’t know what you mean!’â€
Then Whedon decides to tell them how it turned out. “We actually went through it as you guys left. It’s awesome. We found three bits, beginning, middle, and end, and the end one was just supreme.â€
“So it’s [going to be] the last 30 seconds?†Ruffalo asks.
“They. Are. Tired,†Whedon tells him. “And then at the last second, he is just like [CHOMP],†the filmmaker says, gesturing toward Hemsworth and miming a big bite from a stuffed pita.
“I thought I might be sick, by the way,†Hemsworth says. “I ate one [pita] each take, you know! And by the end, I was like, Whooooaaa …â€
“Hello, sir!†Evans says cheerfully as he enters the conference room — unaware that his prosthetic-covered lower face, and the difficulty he had speaking, are the hot topic.
“Not without my beard,†Downey says, mumbling like his jaw is wired shut.
Suddenly Renner, who has been low-key this entire time, breaks into a Chris-Evans-with-prosthetic-make-up Buffalo Bill impression from The Silene of the Lambs: “‘I’d f–k me!’â€
Downey, as you can imagine, just loses it.
Evans laughs along like a good sport, but it was probably easier on him when the other Avengers had their faces stuffed with shawarma.
Iron Man 3 should begin with the shawarma sequence :laugh:
It's gonna be awkward to explain why the Avengers don't show up to help Iron Man in his next movie, especially since Banner is apparently going to hang out with Tony.
