I had negative interest in it until I watched the longer trailer. Looks like it might be okay. Some things are turn-offs, but overall it looks a better than I thought by a good margin. We'll see.
Well, how could he have survived that...

They were even in Nick Fury: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.
And they were a throwaway joke line in the Avengers movie, which suggests that they weren't actually real in that continuity.
I read it just the opposite - basically "You have reached Tony Stark's answering machine." thus implying they were real.
It was a video call so he couldn't claim it was an answering machine, and thus made up the "life model decoy" thing as a last-ditch excuse. It works as a gag precisely because it's such an unbelievable excuse.
Yeah, that's what I thought too. The joke doesn't really work if the person he's talking to doesn't have a reference for it.And I saw it as just the reverse - to me he expected the person on the other end to know what a life model decoy was.
