More Iron Man, Whoot!

So if you haven't guessed, I loved the Iron Man movie. Hank really put it in great geek terminology (not that I'm not a geek), but there was something else that truly blew me away about that movie.

I finally saw Philadelphia Story. I'm a big Cary Grant fan and after much cajoling, my friend Jessica let me see it. Afterwards, there was this special on Katherine Hepburn, done in 1992 before she passes on. In which she talked about her life, and especially her relationship with Spencer Tracy. During the special, they showed an amazing scene from Adam's Rib, (which I love) in which Kate and Spence are talking dialogue with each other that it felt natural. So natural that you would have a hard time believing that it wasn't just improvised.

That is what I saw in Iron Man! Through the explosions and cool flying effects, I saw Robert Downy Junior and Gwyenth Paltrow giving some of the most amazing witty dialogue as naturally as if they had met on sunday over coffee! That is the cool factor that I loved the most about the movie. Then again, I am a thespian.

As for site stuff; The character pages are on hold for a bit. I've been working a lot, getting story lines done and prepping for when my girl comes back from New Zealand. which is at 8:30pm today!

All in good time my friends. It doesn't feel like I've been doing this for a scant two months. I can only imagine what it'll be like after two years.

I hope to see you then...
