Did Iron Man rip off Angela?

by

I absolute loved the movie Iron Man. Oddly enough, I went to see it with my mom and sister - it was the only one we could all agree on for some reason. However that worked out, it was awesome. I’ve always waffled on my opinion of Robert Downey Jr., but this movie may have just converted me for good. Anyway, I could go on and on about the movie, but that’s not what this post is supposed to be about…

Okay, so what’s the relevance to Bones? Well, I probably would have never noticed it myself, but TV Guide’s Rochell D. Thomas brought up an interesting question in one of her recent articles. Don’t worry, if you haven’t seen the movie but still want to, this won’t ruin anything for you. (And if you haven’t seen it and don’t plan to, I highly recommend you rethink that decision.)

Thomas pointed out that in the designing and production of the Iron Man suit, “the same 3-D, holographic computer imaging table that squint Angela Montenegro “created” for the Medic-Legal Lab on Bones” is used. Hmmm, very interesting. Now I’ll have to re-watch the movie just to see Angela’s creation in action!

    Interesting point. But it is also the kind of table used in Star Wars to deliver a message form the Princess and Return of the Jedi to display the Death Star Plans. I guess it’s true. “Everything old is new again.”

About Watching Bones

Who doesn’t love forensic anthropology? Okay, so maybe not, but throw in David Boreanaz and an FBI agent and former sniper along with Emily Deschanel as anthropologist-by-day and best selling author-by-night, as well as other awesome cast members TJ Thyne, Micheala Conlin, Tamara Taylor, and Eric Millegan, and you’ve got a mix for an awesome show. That’s just what you get with Bones. A crime drama that has great wit, great writing, and obviously a great cast; Deschanel’s character Temperance “Bones� Brennan is socially illiterate, although brilliant, and balances out Boreanaz’s character Agent Seeley Booth as they work together to solve sometimes years-old murders. Backed by the “squints� at the Jeffersonian Museum, this team is unstoppable, but it’s the people and the relationships that really make the show. Don’t miss a minute of it!
