Vance: So, as I said last week and Reese commented on as well, Reese, myself and our
significant others went out to see the Iron Man Movie last weekend. I will say
that Robert Downey Jr. did a wonderful job in his roll as Tony Stark. I also
must say that this movie kicked ass. Seriously, I had some reservations going
in but it met and exceeded all expectations that I could have possibly had. And
Reese is right you need to stay past the credits. I would have to say that this
actually rivals Spider-Man as my favorite superhero movie and that's saying quite
a lot, cuz I loved me some Spider-Man.
This isn't the only Iron Man comic I have planned so stay tuned to see what I have
brewing in my head. |
Reese: Regardless of how disparaging the comic is towards Robert Downey Jr., I personally
think it is great that he has overcome such issues and (based soley on Iron Man) he
has resurected his career.
On another note, I've recently gotten into Team Fortress 2, thanks to
Vance mentioning that he spends a fair amount of time playing himself. I've owned
the game since I bought the Orange Box
back in November, but never got around to Team Fortress 2. I'm so glad I took a look
at it. Since I've already thrown around tons of praise for Portal (who hasn't) and
I'm really enjoying Team Fortress 2, I have no problems recommending the Orange Box
to anyone who thinks these games may be fun. It's going for forty bucks right now and
it comes with a total of five games, awesome buy.
P.S. Valve, you may consider this an advertisement and I will eagerly await some sort
of compensation from you... |
