I actually got a huge amount done on Friday, although out of the four things on the “Must Do Today” list, only 2 of them got done. Still, one of them was the critical one, and I did get a lot done.
And IRON MAN *rocked*. I will see it again in the theatre. Possibly twice. And on the off chance you haven’t been told yet, stay through the credits.

Probably a bit of both.
But still FTW!

And I don't think I've walked out of a comic book adaptation with this much squeeing. Not even from the X-men films, and I was a total X-men fan growing up. Iron man I remember only reading from time to time.

My appreciation of the X-films, though, improved when Marvel started the Ultimate line. When it was the official line that there could be these alternate versions and it wasn't just a filmmaker taking liberties with a story...
Silly, but that's the continuity geek in me. For Iron Man, I knew enough to get the War Machine, etc., references which was cool.

besides bruce wayne.
really?
Oh but it was so perfect. the scene in the airplane on the way to the zone, that was classic. Misogynistic, but right on point. I laughed like crazy.
No one hardly stayed for the credits, but when it came up, the three of us were a combination of geekgasm and o noes!

The credits are long and the clip is very short. And it's relatively (but not entirely) meaningless if you're not familiar with the comic book characters.
So, my advice - don't go with someone who usually skips the ten or fifteen minutes of end credits. Because with an antsy 11 yo, it's the longest ten minutes in the whole time continuum.
That being said - Robert Downey Jr is delicious eye candy. And the rest of the movie is fun, too.

I just had a sighting of Heart of Stone in the wild! A woman was walking into the locker room at the work gym carrying it. If I hadn't been running late (as seems to be the trend today), I would have stopped and gone squee at her, but, well, running late. So I go squee at you instead!
