So yeah...Saturday, Lauren brought me to Cathay because her company had some movie function. And since it was a company function, many staff brought their spouses and kids. So many kids were running around...I felt paranoid of catching HFMD.







IRON MAN was certainly worth the wait. It did start rough but it was only because I was tired and sleepy. However, when the CGI kicked in, boy was I wide awake.

Christine Everheart: Have you ever lost an hour of sleep your whole life?
Tony Stark: I'd be prepared to lose a few with you.

...

Tony Stark: Why are you trying to hustle me out of here?
Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: Your flight was scheduled to leave an hour and a half ago.
Tony Stark: That's funny. I thought with it being my plane and all, that it would just wait for me to get there. I mean, doesn't it kind of defeat the purpose of having your own plane if it departs before you arrive?

...

Tony Stark: Pepper, uh, how big are your hands?
Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: What?
Tony Stark: How big are your hands?
Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: I don't understand why...
Tony Stark: Get down here. I need you.

...

Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: [after Stark's one night stand with Christine] I have your clothes here; they've been dry cleaned and pressed. And there's a car waiting for you outside that will take you anywhere you'd like to go.
Christine Everheart: You must be the famous Pepper Potts.
Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: [smiles and nods] Indeed I am.
Christine Everheart: After all these years, Tony still has you picking up the dry cleaning.
Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: I do anything and everything Mr. Stark requires. Including occasionally taking out the trash. Will that be all?

So yes, Robert Downey Jr is yummy. He has always been, especially when he had his hair really short and donned a pair of nerdy specs for Ally McBeal yonks ago. It was like..swoonsville revisited in Iron Man.


Ooh mama.


The movie was good. I wont say it is brilliant because it is not something we havent seen before - plot, effects and acting wise. The only difference is that Iron Man is kind of old while the rest of the superheroes are like barely in their 20s. The storyline is also quite recent as it deals with Afghanistan...terrorism and such. Everything else is kind of similar actually.

Still, it is an enjoyable one and I will be waiting for the next instalment.

This is of course provided that Robert Downey Jr wont die from drug or alcohol overdose that is.

We'll wait.
