Let Me Tell You About My Paladin

BWAAAAWWWW I am Iron Man BWAAAAWWW

I know not many of us are theater goers anymore. and some have never been.

But Iron Man? so worth it. Saw it on saturday in a DLP theater... whatever that means. Paid full price for two of us and i dont regret a cent of it.

I doubted downy jr for the longest time. I retract anything negative I may have said about him in the role and offer myself up for caning if that is necessary.

and aside to Berin---- let me know when you've seen the movie and who Obediah Stane (jeff bridges) reminds you of. the resemblance was uncanny with certain expressions during the movie. i had to laugh.

The first Spiderman was great, and I'd say that Iron Man has all the same plusses with fewer of the same minuses. It's like Marvel learned from the experience. Best not to mention the other Spidey movies, though. Evil disco emo-hair spidey? *shudders*; ▶ Reply to This

Some long-lost uncle passed away and left him controlling interest in a coal mine in West Virginia. He's now the CEO of a mining company. I can totally see The Colonel decked out in coal-powered steampunk-looking armor.; ▶ Reply to This

last i heard he was waiting to see if his wife accepted a position in TN and was just kind of floating in the wind with a very careless sort of attitude toward the situation.

so he is an onsite coal miner? or is he still kicking around tucson and managing his evil empire from afar?

foghorn leghorn, har!

Angry teen, "Hey, F*CK you man!"
The Colonel, "You wouldnt like it.... I Sweat!" ( this from an ex marine in his 60's without missing a beat.); ▶ Reply to This

I've also got kin in them thar hills. but they're scary.; ▶ Reply to This

They got a rich famous substance abuser to play a rich famous substance abuser. If Downey ever dressed up as a carboard and tinfoil robot as a kid then what more could you ask for?; ▶ Reply to This
