So the guys over at Tech Crunch were planning an Iron Man Movie event in San Francisco.  They paid the full ticket price for every seat then they got a Cease and Desist E-mail from David Althoff at Marvel.

Now other movies have made tons of money by groups and clubs planing movie screens together. Just ask Mel Gibson.

David Althoff even ends the mail with a “please don’t print” message.  Sure David, sure! 

If Marvel continues the harassment of TechCrunch over a screening they’ve paid full price for, please don’t see this film.
