Castmember Terrence Howard sure seems to think so, describing "Iron Man" as "a modern-day comparison to what took place in 1973 when this Tony Stark character was invented." The star of "The Hunting Party" also claims that for the sequel, the crew will be "a little more free ... non-responsive to anyone," particularly the Defense Department. Watch him dish out in the video below.
Do you agree with Howard? Is "Iron Man" a political allegory? Speak out in our comments section.
If you don't already know who Brian K. Vaughan is, well...you should. The creator of such acclaimed comics as "Ex Machina" and "Y: The Last Man," Vaughan is one of comics' biggest superstars. With "Y" now being adapted as a feature film by "Disturbia" director D.J. Caruso, we thought it'd be a good idea to catch up with the four-color auteur. Get primed on everything BKV in the video below.

Don't believe the new trailer for Todd Haynes' "I'm Not There." Sure it says Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett, Richard Gere, and Heath Ledger all are Bob Dylan. But at least one of the stars disagrees.
"There is no Dylan in it," Gere told me a couple days ago. And that reason, for one, is why the icon will like it, Gere believes. "I think he'll like it because it's not attempting to be him. It's a fever dream. I think that's probably the only way you could tell the story of an artist that extraordinary."
Gere said he's seen the film and likes it a lot, calling it "a bizarre script" and "much more expressionistic than people are thinking."
Count me in. And if you're doubting Gere's endorsement, check out the trailer after the jump. Read More...

When Corey Haim walked into our offices to talk about the sequel to "The Lost Boys" and "The Two Coreys," he was in a great mood until I brought up one name: Corey Feldman. Clearly he was angry about something at the start of the interview but he wouldn't cough up the reason until he said "screw it" and let rip on why he's so upset at that other Corey.
Yes, folks, it all goes back to that infamous scene from "The Two Coreys" where Haim cried over being passed over for "The Lost Boys II." Honestly I'm not exactly sure what Haim was talking about here, but the important thing is he is mad at Feldman and apparently Feldman doesn't even know it yet.
YOU NEED TO WATCH THIS. TRUST ME. And check back tomorrow for Haim's story on dating Posh Spice (I'm absolutely serious).
