I saw Iron Man today. It was...pretty good? I (obviously, I mean, come on) never read the comic books, so all I knew about it was a dude in a iron crazy suit and that song. You know...BUM, BUM, BUM-BUM-BUM, da-de-da-de-da BA-BA BUMBUM. You know.

So of course, I thought it would be shit. Then Gabe's facebook status was something like "Gabriel is...surprised that Iron Man didn't such as much as he expected." So, trusting Gabe's almighty judgment, Jon and I went to see it, since I had to be downtown for an appointment anyway.

Anyway. It didn't suck. It a lot didn't suck. I really enjoyed it. Robert Downey Jr. was actually a total badass, and a really good character. Plus, I'm totally a sucker for special effects. Whenever he grabbed the hologram and spun it around and actually put it on his arm (!!!), I was all OMGZ I WANTS IT.

I am legitimately excited for the new Batman. The first one was not a masterpiece, but it was entertaining, and last half was pure crazy special effects. From the previews, I think this one will be a little better.

You know what would make it AWESOME??
Alfred: But Batman, where are you going?!
Batman: ...I have to return some videotapes.

Sweet.
