yesterday after running my favorite sister-in-law through another bosu workout, i met up with my friends (marc and kelley). the geeks that we are, we went to see the movie "iron man" at randolph.
now, i suck at iron man. growing up, i always thought he was an okay superhero as far as comic books go. according to my friend wikipedia
"Iron Man (Anthony Edward "Tony" Stark) is a fictional character, a comic book superhero appearing in publications from Marvel Comics. Created by writer-editor Stan Lee, scripter Larry Lieber, and artists Don Heck and Jack Kirby, Iron Man first appeared in Tales of Suspense #39 (March 1963). Tony Stark, after being gravely injured and forced to build a devastating weapon, instead created a suit of power armor to save his life and help protect the world as Iron Man. He is a wealthy industrialist and genius inventor whose metal suit is laden with technological devices that enable him to fight crime."
for anyone curious, my favorite comic book superhero growing up was "hawkeye". hawkeye had no special powers, but he had a bow... and a funny sense of humor.
needless to say, the movie of iron man was done very well. i even liked it more than the spiderman movies. robert downey jr makes an awesome tony stark. and surprisingly enough, gwenyth paltrow was good in the supporting role of pepper potts.
anyway, the geek that i am... i loved the movie. it reminded me of my childhood where superheroes kicked butt.
