Sorta, but I actually haven’t seen the movie. Iron Man was never a big superhero in my life (unlike Batman), so I never really got caught up in the hype.

Rest assured I’ll grab the movie now.

Dude, for the love o’ Pete…you have got to see Iron Man!

I thought it was excellent, and I’m a real nitpicker. Don’t torrent it though, watch it in the highest quality you can afford. I guarantee you’ll love it!

Now hopefully I’l be receiving my check from Paramount by Tuesday…
