I am Iron Man

[brightcupenny]

As advertised, Iron Man was AWESOME and Robert Downey Jr is amazing. Two non-spoilery comments:

Awesomness: Brass Rat screen time!

Annoyingness: You cannot graduate summa cum laude from MIT! Nor can you graduate magna cum laude or cum laude or ANYTHING FREAKING ELSE. LEARN IT, LOVE IT, HOLLYWOOD.

(sirrogue started laughing as soon as they mentioned

Wow, didn't know that you couldn't graduate with honors from MIT. So do you have an overall GPA, or are all classes pass / fail?

[brightcupenny]

You have an overall GPA, but there's no class ranking or anything.

And if one really wants to raise (pad) one's GPA, there's always the opportunity to take a course or two up the road at Harvard :-)

[lemurtanis]

Established because students tended to kill themselves (often literally) trying to get to the top.

Could someone send this memo to Cornell, stat?
