Iron man revolution

Tom Morello, the trail-blazing guitarist for Rage Against the Machine, appears in the new Iron Man film as an extra. Mr. Axis of Justice appears as a terrorist (or, 'insurgent', as imdb credits him), and is blown away while attacking the iron machine created by Tony Stark. No help from his rage here.

He also appears on the soundtrack with 'additional guitar', which would have been good to know going into the movie, not after. This is kind of like how Mike Patton did all the vampire/zombie voices in I Am the Legend of Bagger Vance.

Good to see Billy Corgan and Michael Stipe showed up to the premiere in rock solidarity, and nice to see the producers offering tickets to the personality-challenged.

Pretty good movie, though.
