Continuing the theme of "getting the hell out of the house" and trying to re-focus my mind, we went to a matinee of Iron Man yesterday. While everyone else was seeing Indiana Jones.

I liked it. I wasn't enthralled, but I thought they did a good job updating it to the modern day. Rob Lowe in particular played the parts of playboy ne'er-do-well and reluctant hero with the right notes. Jeff Bridges also was good. Gwyneth Paltrow - she's eye candy, anyway. For those who like necks.

Rob Lowe isn't in the movie. I think you mean Robert Downey Jr. *smile*

Er, Robert Downey Jr., not Rob Lowe.

Gwyneth Paltrow can actually act. (Shakespeare in Love ...), but she hasn't chosen/gotten the best parts in recent years.

Downey was brilliant in that role. Tony Stark: the anti-Clark Kent. Hee!
