And the guy can belt out a tune... have you ever heard his duet with Gladys Knight, "I wanna be loved"? it's on her album "At Last" from 2001.

Couldn't find it, but it led me to a whole bunch of clips of him singing. I didn't think he could get hotter... and yet, here we are!

SIDE NOTE: Gladys Knight's "Surrender" was the better Tomorrow Never Dies song!


God, I love him!

EPIC!!!!

Senator BArney Frank was a Klan member.

You sure you aren't thinking of someone else?

I'm pretty sure he meant Robert Byrd.

OOps had West virgini-itis. My bad..yeah him Byrd.

a) Okay, firstly LOVE your avatar! Grace Jones is my third favourite Bond villain after Baron Samedi and Xena Onatop (and she had the weakest film to be awesome in... so kudos too her)
b) in general, I think the reaction would have been far more sedate by all if the team had BEGUN with an LGBT couple and a latina woman. As far as I can tell it's no so much the team lacks a straight black male, it's that the team is now without the straight black male it original started with. I 100% agree, it's still uber diverse, and the debates that labelled it as "no longer diverse" were idiotic. And we ALL should still praise it's diversity. But I do, in my milder moments, understand it's not from a lack for support (in most cases), the annoyance comes from the feeling of being excluded (as in no-longer included when once a straight black male was). If that makes sense?

Thanks, Grace Jones is horribly underrated as a singer, performer, and model, and she changed the game in alot of ways, and Mayday was a badass.

I agree with everything you wrote and Its good that you can evaluate your reactions to these things, everyone wants a place at the table so I understand that passions overtake the situation.

[R.E. Barnes]

As much as Im excited for Man of Steel, this is looking better and better.

[Booshman]

I'm sorry...that's just...that's...beyond epic.

Grace Jones, her schtick contains so much "awesome" that even her watered down imitator Lady Gaga doesn't even come CLOSE to getting it right. She's "The Lucci" to Grace's "Gucci."

So... Don Cheadle is a villain? Huh.

[Booshman]

So... Don Cheadle is a villain? Huh.

Isn't Mandrin the villain? Besides, I've heard that it's just a paint job on War Machine's armor, not that he's the Iron Patriot. Since that was Norman. Marvel isn't that foolish where they'd introduce such a well known hero in a re-imagining, and essentially ruin him/her by making them a villain.

Oh crap...Rhodey's doomed.

[Victor Freeman]

DC--smh. OSC will never see any of my money. It's crazy people are defending this dude. But I guess expected.

[Kid Kamikaze10]

So... Don Cheadle is a villain? Huh.

Hopefully not. They should stick to Mandrin.

[Michael P]

It looks like Marvel has decided to give Rhodey the Iron Patriot name and look, while keeping him a hero. It's not unusual for a non-A-list name like that to be swapped around. Hell, Baron Zemo's first moniker was Phoenix.

Ooh, better example: Luke Cage was named Power Man, even though the first Power Man was a villain. (And he later beat that first Power Man's ass.)

And of course, very few of the people who see the movie will even know that Norman Osborn once called himself Iron Patriot.

[Genki Sudo]

I believe Rhodey in this movie is basically a propaganda tool for the military who remember aren't fond of Tony since the first movie and since the second one have been thrilled they have the War Machine armor and Rhodey, add in Mandarin attacking american soil and boom start printing posters of Rhodey in that Iron Patriot armor saying he wants you to join the military
