So I got back from seeing Iron Man 3 a little bit ago, and outside the cut I can say I really liked it a lot. And it is about 1000x better than the awful mess that was IM2. I mean, I don't even own IM2 on DVD and have no intention of ever owning it, because it's a terrible movie, but I want to see IM3 a bunch more (I won't, because of money, but I'

*nod* That's what I gather after reading some reviews that laid it out more clearly.

Me, too, though it honestly never occurred to me that they wouldn't. I was much more worried about Pepper. *hands*

Sure, but that's all after the fact, and I have a feeling Bruce just said something like, "Wow, you got up to some crazy shit over Christmas, huh?" and Tony was like, "LET ME TELL YOU ALL ABOUT IT. STARTING IN 1999."
