already off

not that anyone really reads this blog, and even if they do, im not sure that anyone made it through my long post about movies, and even if they did, i doubt they really cared about what i thought or had to say about movies. but if they do, and did and do again, they probably shouldnt. well, i dont think im off on everything, but so far i am. i saw ironman last weekend and it was really good. i had a great time. i didnt think it would be that good. i thought it would be a flashy and action filled movie that didnt have much substance. and by substance i mean pretty hollow characters and a pretty weak storyline. granted, none of these superhero movies have intense or deep storylines where you really have to pay attention or youll lose what is going on, but ironman proved me wrong. robert downey was really good. he did a great job and his character was great. he really carried the film. and as a bonus, gweneth paltrow looks great in the film. she's looked ugly for years in my opinion but the makeup people did a number on her and she doesnt look rail thin, so she's a pleasant addition. anyways, i do recommend ironman. a really fun time at the movies and i think worth the money. not that my suggestions or recommendations have much credibility since im already changing them, not that i really recommended ironman, i just didnt have huge expectations and it was a nice surprise. i do still have massive expectations for batman. there was a preview before ironman. that show is going to be incredible.

You're right, I didn't read that long one.

come now, we all read your blog. You have a lot to say, so your posts are long. Big deal. If people don't like it, tell them to don't come back.

i can't believe you bashed ironman.

I second Dave's disbelief. I can't believe you prematurely sifted Ironman into the Fantastic Bore (see how I slipped that subtle joke in?) category in that long post that I finally finished. Flame off.

sorry for making you read so much only to disappoint you by making such a poor guess. at least im admitting it, AND, at least i have seen it. some people praise it like its so amazing and they cant wait to see it, but then they play soccer and go to sacramento of all places instead of seeing the movie they are so sure will be amazing.
