I loved Iron Man!
What a fun movie...I've been looking forward to this one for awhile, I dunno anything about Ironman the comic book character, but I like RDJr. and I figured if Jon Favreau was directing, it'd be good...and it is! if you see it, be sure and sit thru the credits for a quick snippet...the entire 3 backrows of the theatre (of which we were a part) were all staying behind as the rest of the audience left...gotta be 'in the know' about these things...actually, we usually stay thru the credits, just to avoid the exiting crunch that always occurs...we usually learn something interesting in a location spot, or credit given, and often there's a fun bit at the end, like Napoleon's wedding, or Ferris Bueller telling us to 'go home'...
After a quick jaunt to the Apple store to pick up some cleaning solution for the laptop, we are now home and ready to enjoy the weekend...the art walk is in town tonight, I'm not participating, cause i don't have enough stock and, well, I've kinda done my part in participating, but there's not much audience here in Podunk USA for hand made beads...imagine that..."hmmm...I either need to buy feed for my cattle, or I need original handmade beads...whatever will I do..."
We caught a long trailer for the new Indy movie, even more info in this one and I think I'm even more resolute in my need to avoid it at all costs...I think its because it doesn't look 'real'...there's just SO MUCH CGI and unrealistic, over the top, over-produced parts of it, that I have come up empty...Karen Allen looks great, I like seeing her...Cate Blanchett, who I love, is rockin' her Boris and Natasha accent...I know it'll make eleventy bazillion dollars, and that's great, I hope its well-received...I think we're gonna buy the collector's edition of Raiders of the Lost Ark and watch that instead...old school Indy never wears out...Botox Indy, not so good...
