06.07.08... First things first, a "Get Well Soon!" in Jon's direction. He posted in the Iron Man group that he is recovering from hernia surgery. Ouch. Feel better, man!

Don't forget that Vince Vaughn's Wild West Comedy Show is now available on DVD. Jon was a special guest at several shows and is featured in the movie. I haven't unwrapped my copy just yet but I bet we'll see Jon in the Extras as well.

Also, there is a new interview with Jon at Superhero Hype. He talks a bit about his latest project, the comedy I Love You, Man, Iron Man 2 and other upcoming superhero flicks. Read it, HERE.

Lastly, congrats to the guys for picking up the "Best Summer Movie So Far" award for Iron Man at the MTV movie awards last week. Jon was on hand with RDJ to pick up the award. I'll post videos soon.

05.31.08... I would suggest checking out the MTV Movie Awards tomorrow evening. Jon participated in a spoof clip with Mike Myers - you can watch a small preview of it, HERE. Also, Iron Man was nominated for "Best Summer Movie So Far" and we hope to see the man there for that. We'll see.

05.30.08... Robert Downey, Jr.'s Myspace has posted a little behind-the-scenes of when the guys were on the Iron Man press tour. The scenes of Robert are interspersed with scenes of Jon playing one of the guitar playing video games. Cute little clip, have a look. =)



Also, just an update on how Iron Man is doing at the box office. After just four weeks in theaters Jon's latest project has raked in almost $263 million in domestic sales and worldwide it should hit $500 million this week. Awesome!

05.01.08... Iron Man hits theaters today. Go check it out. The reviews are still almost all positive so far. Currently 95% fresh at Rotten Tomatoes with 52 81 reviews counted! That means only four that were negative enough to be counted as rotten. That's pretty flippin' amazing. HERE is Roeper's positive review as well. Congrats to Jon and Company. Let's hope the box office is as strong as the reveiws.

04.29.08... The reviews for Iron Man are coming out and they have been overwhelmingly positive so far. Here are a few so far - Variety, Hollywood Reporter and Yahoo.

04.24.08... Awesome tip of the cap to Jon on the show The Office this evening. As the main character, played by Steve Carell, walked into a night club, he said, "This place is packed. Packed with beautiful babies." Then he says, "Swingers. Classic. Jon Favreau. Tall guy from Dodgeball." (referencing the other Swingers star, but the joke is he knows Jon's name but not the very famous Vince Vaughn's.) Very funny stuff.  =)

Also a huge thank you to Jon's friend, Sean Ricigliano. He once again shared a great photo with us. Check out the pic of Sean and Jon with Tom Morello (Audioslave & Rage Against the Machine) on the set of Iron Man, HERE. Thanks, Sean! =)
