"Iron Man"

Saw "Iron Man" last night.

WOW.

Seriously, I would have to put this at the top of the "best comic book movies ever" list, it was that good. It was VERY faithful to the comics (aside from Stark getting injured in Afghanistan, and not Vietnam, but it was very timely).
The performances were top notch. Robert Downey Jr IS Tony Stark; the womanizing, boozing, uber-mind of the tech set. Gwyneth Paltrow does a bang up job as Stark's assistant, Pepper Potts, and Jeff "The Dude" Bridges is the evil Obediah Stane. Man, he plays a great bad guy. Can't leave out Terrance Howard as James Rhodes, who, as comicgeeks'll know, is War Machine in the comics, and I have to say, there's a little War Machine tease in the flick that made me smile.

Stan Lee's cameo? Brilliant.

The FX were STELLAR.

I will see this again, probably a few more times before "Indiana Jones IV" rolls around, and I urge EVERYONE to do the same.

What the hell's going on here?

Found this looking for some colouring book pages for my kids.
No WONDER Vader wanted Leia captured. hee hee.

Best. Impression. Ever.

The "I can eat.....PLANETS"....that friggin kills me.

Happy Good Friday!

That clicking noise you hear is my ticket being punched for my one way trip to Hell.

Dave Stevens, R.I.P

*sigh*

Just heard that the creator of The Rocketeer (and good girl pin up artist) Dave Stevens passed away yesterday.
This man's art had inspired me so much; and he re-introduced Bettie Page to a whole new generation.
His art was so clean, very slick. His women were absolutely gorgeous.
He will be missed.

They did it again......

That billigerant old bastard Old Man Winter and that dirty cow of a ditchpig Mother Nature double teamed us here in Barrie, and after it was all said and done, we're looking at well over 40-50 cm.
Christ. Almighty.

I can't take this anymore, I really cannot.
Dirty fucking groundhog promised us an EARLY SPRING!!
Well? Where is it? You sonofabitch!

*pant pant wheeze*

And....the Leafs lost last night.
CHRIST.

Old Man Winter......

.......can EAT ME. If you reside anywhere in the Southern Ontario/Northern U.S, then you know that winter has gone on since about what feels like 1998. Jesus Christ, this winter won't end. Even as I write this, it's snowin' and blowin' like mad out there, after a delightful week of temperatures in the negative teens (that's Celcius for my American friends).

I am seriously thinking of taking out some sort of mob inspired hit on Mother Nature and Old Man Winter. Uh, if they were real people, I guess.

Anyone who knows me knows how much I detest winter. This is now March 1st. winter has gone on LONG enough.
