iron man

WATCH IT. NOW.

The film had me going all OMGCAPSLOCKCAPSLOCKSQUEEEEE!!!!!!!111111 in my text message to Christine when I finished it because when she said it kicked ass, Iron Man really did kick ass. A lot.

No one wanted to watch it with me when I announced to everyone (well, my dad and my uncle) that I'm going to watch it tonight. So I lured my mom into watching it by promising that Robert Downey Jr played the eponymous role. (She loves Robert Downey Jr. and I think she'd seen every one of his films.) And at the end of the film she agreed with me that Iron Man indeed kicked ass. (I knew there was a reason why she's my mother.)

I felt totally stupid when my brain kept on nagging me about "Strategic Homeland Intervension, Espionage Logistics Directorate" because I knew that I know it from somewhere. Maybe if it was written down I would've recognized it as a backronym of S.H.I.E.L.D. earlier. In any case, I was all "DOI! It's S.H.I.E.L.D.!" when it was revealed. -_______-

And and and! That thing in the end, after the credits? With Samuel L. Jackson going all kickass!Nick Fury at Stark? I TOTALLY SQUEED AT THE THEATER. Because, OMG AVENGERS! AVENGERS!

I will be severely disappointed if SLJ didn't go all "Fie, motherfucker!" in the Avengers film. Very very disappointed.

Random outtake:
Mom: *texting my uncle in Denmark* Oh yeah we're all fine here; the girls and I are watching Iron Man later
Uncle: But Iron Man isn't a chick flick!
Mom: Who says we're chicks?!

ETA: Next film on the agenda is Speed Racer. OMG. My childhood shows are being Hollywoodized!

ooooooooooooh, I'm so glad that it doesn't suck. Very few things with Robert Downey, Jr. CAN suck but then, I think that a lot about Edward Norton, Johnny Depp and Cate Blanchard.

Well, okay, nothing that Cate Blanchard has been in sucked, but some of them were not awesome.

In conclusion, YAY IRONMAN!

Hah, I'm with you re: Edward Norton et al. But then again, Robert Downey Jr. was cast perfectly.

GO WATCH IRONMAN NOW. :D

When it premiered here last Wednesday my RL friends were all "Go stay at the end when you watch it, I wasn't able to so you gotta tell meeeee" when I announced that I was going to watch it.

I don't know why they had to change what S.H.I.E.L.D. stands for but I absolutely love Agent Coulson. :D
