Fandom Lounge's Journal - Day

1:37PM - Rant at me here!

My friend and I have just started a new RP on Livejournal, and I'm working on a list of 'gentle suggestions', or Do's and Dont's, to help keep things running smoothly. Since I know there are a lot of RPers around here who probably have a lot more experience than I do, I wanted to open the floor - what RP killers have you seen, and how would you avoid them? What's made some of your RP experiences more pleasant than others? What advice would you give a first-time RPer, or even an experienced one who might've gotten into some bad habits?

By the way, if anyone's interested, it's a multi-sport AU set in a boarding/prep school - Doubleday Academy. We're currently accepting applications!

What about you?

9:23PM - Changes to Iron Man 2-disc DVD?

Okay, this is seriously the stupidest thing ever, but it's driving me crazy and I want to know if I'm the only one who thinks this.
So, I just got the shiny 2-disc Iron Man DVD set, and I swear that a line of dialogue has been changed from the original, but I'm not sure. Looking for a fandom check to see if anyone else remembers it the same way I did, or if I'm just loopy.

Remember in Iron Man, when Tony was sniping at his stupid robot helper during the suit-testing?

I DISTINCTLY remember him saying "...donate you to an inner city middle school."

On the DVD, he says "...donate you to a city college."

Bzuh? Not that this is important or anything, but now I'm curious as to what people remember the line being, if they remember it at all. IMDB says 'city college', but one of my IM buddies also remembers the line as 'middle school'.

It's not the only thing that is a bit different: there's also this:

Those of you who were keeping up with the production of IRON MAN may notice the above frame is actually director Jon Favreau’s big apology to movie site IESB on the behalf of Paramount for shutting down their website for 24 hours (I can’t remember the exact time frame) because of that photo of the character from the film set which was taken by Ronnie Adams and published 100% legally by the site...

One guy was still loosing out and that was photographer Ronnie Adams, who didn’t care for the “in-joke” at all and was still so pissed at what Paramount had done to him that he has filed a lawsuit against said image being used without permission in the film, so it’s been cut from the DVD release.

The lawsuit isn’t actually settled or decided in Adams’ favour but Paramount have cut it anyway to avoid complications for recalls, the image of IRON MAN will be replaced by a generic photo, not too disimilar I should think to this one…

Anyway, not out to start a wank, just confused as to whether my memory is that bad (I saw the film in theatres twice) or whether this is a mysterious minor change...
