I'm trying my best not to read this post since I haven't seen Iron Man yet (no, I don't know what's wrong with me and yes, I am going to see it)...but in response to Ashish's question:

"By the way, who else gets chills just thinking about how good The Dark Knight is going to be?"

Answer: this guy. And judging by Jarred's breathless emails every time a new Dark Night trailer goes live, I think he's in too.

Yeah, Iron Man was pretty solid.

I think the reason Stane didn't stop Potts was that as she exits the building she runs into that guy from SHIELD--or what ends up being called SHIELD by the end of the movie--and takes his protection. I agree with you about Paltrow's talent and beauty. I only wish she would get more and better roles. Check out Proof if you want to see what's she really capable of when given a first-rate script.

It's kind of sad that this movie is the most exposure many Americans will have to the harsh reality of the military-industrial complex, which is responsible for so many of our foreign policy ills. We've gone from Eisenhower--whose name, coincidentally, means Iron-Hewer--to Tony Stark! But I suppose we could do worse than Robert Downey Jr. as a tribune of the people.

By the way, who else gets chills just thinking about how good The Dark Knight is going to be?

Oh man, Iron Man was positively phenomenal. I agree with everything you said here...except I dug Indiana Jones. :P
