Tony Stark can't hear you over the sound of how awesome he is
Let it be known that Tony Stark is Better than You.
Understandably, yesterday, diamondsparks and I along with her sister, Esther, rambled into the movie theater in Edison and sat through one of the most amazing movies of this year: Iron Man. I was completely blown away. If nothing else, watch this movie (again and again and again). To be honest, when this title was first announced to me I approached it with the utmost skepticism. Although I can get to be a pretty big dork when it comes to classic comic book superheroes (don't even get me started on Batman), the robotic aspect usually turns me off. But after hearing ridiculously rabid reviews for weeks upon weeks, I finally decided to tumble myself into the hype and see if I can get caught up in the same wave.
To my surprise, I got no wave.
I got a freaking tsunami.
I was so impressed I've already placed aside money to get the (sexy, sexy) DVD.
Really, people, this is epic. If anyone wants to go watch it (again, if you have already, because if you haven't - what the hell are you waiting for?) I will be more than willing to scoot into the theater with you and watch it over and over and over, nothing would make me happier, I swear. I have never felt this way about a movie in all 18 odd years of my life. Ever.
The computer graphics, the sardonic helper robots, the special effects, the itchy but oh-so-blatant office romance! The explosions! The snarky, witty banter! Robert Downey Jr.'s face! What's not to love?
This is also the first fandom (yes it's a fandom now, gods) in which I actually approve of and support the canonical pairing. Which is still a shock to me, 24 hours later.
Needless to say, it puts me in such a ridiculous state of euphoria to find out that the studio is already planning a sequel. HAPPINESS.
(omg I am so obsessed askdjfaiwhrekl)
Overall though, besides that, my day yesterday was pretty enchanting nevertheless; diamondsparks and I hung about at her house for the entire day, making lunch (I am so obsessed with the soup we always crank out), visited an old friend (Mary!) and her new dog (apparently, he is a specific kind of dog that the Koreans used to eat), spent a good portion of the afternoon plotting for mementomorirpg (so awesome. We rolled around - literally - and worked up a whole racket. Also, the occasional awkward but hilarious sex joke. New superhero of the 21st century? $5 Whore!). Esther and I have realized with much bitterness that we simply do not have the endurance to climb stairs because while diamondsparks was standing at the top tapping her foot, we sprinted up the first few steps and then the footfalls gradually became slower and slower and soon enough it was just apparent that our attempt to be Super Stair Masters had failed. But asides from that, we have also concluded that Esther has bones made out of freaking titanium because when she had my neck in a vice grip (of love, she will claim) I honest to god could not break out of it and actually sprained a part of my elbow (if that's even possible) trying to. She also has really strong fingers - they are like cattle prongs).
People still confuse me for proichi, what?
Also, diamondsparks has ticklish thighs. LOL.
I love them all. ♥
