Adam Pally (Max from Happy Endings) was wearing a stranded sweater under an unbuttoned flannel and jacket, but he was only in the movie for one hot minute, so finding a pic of him wasn&#8217;t feasible (translation: I tried). Here&#8217;s something similar, but the one Adam was sporting had a lighter, more airy pattern that was also a bit less snowflakey. I&#8217;ve never considered wearing a flannel over a sweater and I&#8217;m not sure I&#8217;m a fan of that look.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ravelry.com\/patterns\/library\/snowflake--star-fair-isle-pullover\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/800685_pullovers_main_medium1-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"sweater\" title=\"sweater\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-5572\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/800685_pullovers_main_medium1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/800685_pullovers_main_medium1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/800685_pullovers_main_medium1.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n3. Iron Man&#8217;s young helper friend (Ty Simpkins) was wearing a pretty cute knit hat at one point, but sadly, I cannot seem to locate a pic of that either (boo!). This one has the same aura, but Ty&#8217;s did not have a pom pom and had a brim that was rolled up.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ravelry.com\/patterns\/library\/b19-2-jacket-with-raglan-sleeves-and-turtle-neck-with-pattern-in-merino-extra-fine\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/auction.sweater_medium1-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"hat\" title=\"hat\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-5574\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n4. This movie had a shot of the Audi e-tron and it is nice. But, if it were me and I had somewhere between $100-200k to spend on a car, I&#8217;d still go for a Tesla.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_5575\" style=\"width: 160px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5575\" src=\"http:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/audi-e-tron-spyder_wallpaper_021-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"audi-e-tron-spyder\" title=\"audi-e-tron-spyder\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-5575\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-5575\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Audi e-tron<\/p><\/div><div id=\"attachment_5576\" style=\"width: 160px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5576\" src=\"http:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Tesla-Roadster-21-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Tesla-Roadster\" title=\"Tesla-Roadster\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-5576\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-5576\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tesla Roadster<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n5. I digress. Overall, the movie was quite good for a third film. Plenty of nice action sequences and special effects. As a smart geeky type, Iron Man is definitely on my preferred list of superheroes and I continue to think Robert Downey, Jr. fits the role well. Gwyneth Paltrow is Pepper Potts. Warning: this movie is likely to make you want to go for a jog &#8211; everyone looks great. And finally, I am always amazed that Guy Pearce makes as good a bad guy as he does a good guy. He&#8217;s versatile to say the least.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1. First, the Iron Man theme song is my favorite thing about the franchise and I wanted more. 2.
