Michael Hutchison IS… The ROCKETEER!

For over 15 years, I’ve wanted a jacket like The Rocketeer wore. It was just an awesome jacket. I remember checking out leather jacket stores and never saw anything even close. Disappointed, I gave up the search and got a generic leather jacket (which I, ahem, “outgrew” a decade ago).

Of course, that was before the Internet. It just occurred to me tonight to Google “Rocketeer leather jacket”.

BINGO!

This person sells Rocketeer Leather jackets, custom-made, for under $200! After you buy/win the auction, they take your measurements and make it for you. Awesome! And look how beautiful that jacket is. Oh sweeeeet! I am so there –

Oh.

Measurements.

Ahem, again.

I can think of nothing more pathetic than a fat comic geek in his late 30s getting a form-fitting Rocketeer jacket. I don’t want to be that guy.

OK, this jacket just became my incentive reward for when I lose 80 pounds or more.

(I sure hope this guy’s still in business in 2027.)

He … Is … Iron Man

(Yes, I know the headline’s cliched and most everybody else has used a version of it in their report. But not knoing the character real well it’s the best I could come up with.)

The first trailer for next summer’s Iron Man movie has been released. I don’t know enough about Marvel continuity to know if they got Tony’s characterization right, but I really liked what I saw. Robert Downey Jr. looks great. And the special effects are spectacular (especially the flying). This is the first Marvel movie since the X-Men franchise I would go to the theater to see. And it could easily be the best of the Marvel movies. I guess time (and more in depth trailers) will tell.
