So, you know, Iron Man 2 is coming out in a week.

I feel like a Bad Mommy. We've got a midnight showing. And I seriously considered (a) leaving my nine-year-old child alone while I go see it, or (b) waking him up and taking him with me. Neither of which is a viable option. But GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaah

and the only reason I hate ScarJo is b/c she stole my man!!

[agilebrit]

He needs to wear his hair like this ALL THE TIME.

ScarJo

Those of us who have been fortunate enough to find The Woman, know we've got a good thing going on. Looks like Robert has found his. Admit it, ladies, you dig him partially because he digs HER!! (grin)

[agilebrit]

No, dude, have you SEEN his wife? This is an adorable publicity photoshoot, to be sure, but Susan Downey has it all over ScarJo and they clearly adore each other.

I present photographic proof:

[bradrtorgersen]

Ah, no, I had not seen her. This is a much better photo. MUCH better. Hang on to her, Mr. Downey. Hang on tight.

If you do a google image search of "robert susan downey" you can see various paparazzi and red carpet shots of them. They were clearly made for each other.

On "Inside the Actors Studio," James Lipton asked Susan what she thought of Robert the first time she met him (on the set of Gothika, which she produced), and she said "Oh, I thought he was weird." "And when did you stop thinking he was weird?" "Oh, I still think he's weird." Cue everyone, including Robert, cracking up. BECAUSE IT'S TRUE. And she loves him for it.

I certainly don't mind her, but when I passed on the rumor I'd heard - that she was being considered to play Marilyn Monroe in a new biopic - 1962 boiled over. Apparently she's ghastly. Well, I'll admit that her versatility may be somewhat limited - though who knows; Charlize Theron startled critics with her portrayal of that thoroughly un-Hollywood-looking serial killer, and ScarJo might do the same one day.

My biggest complaint with her as an actress is that you can never forget whom you're really looking at - but that's true of many cinema greats. (Rex Harrison was always 'Rex Harrison as -' - he never lost himself in the role.)

True, but I still love him.

Well...I take it back. It's not true. The Ghost in the Ghost and Mrs. Muir is really nothing like Henry Higgins.

Look up your state's babysitting laws. In VA, we can leave an eight year old for an hour and a half, but for some reason, not at night...even though you think when they were sleeping would be ideal.

[agilebrit]

Well, this would be at least three hours between 11:30pm and 3am, and, legal or not, I'm not comfortable with leaving him home alone for that long at that hour. There's what's Legal and what's Right, and I wouldn't feel Right if I did that. Besides, I'd just be worrying the whole time, so... yeah.

Oh well. I've told the Hubby I want to see it in IMAX for Mother's Day. It's worth the wait for that.

[dragonflymuse]

I hope you get to see your movie tonite! Get thee a babysitter STAT!

[agilebrit]

Well, it's next week, actually, but finding a babysitter for a midnight movie on a school night...isn't happening. But I told the Hubby I want to see it in IMAX for Mother's Day, which will totally be worth the wait (we'll probably go on Monday just to avoid the crowds because we're practical that way). I just hope I can avoid spoilers, but my flist is pretty good about stuff like that.
