I (and my son ) are really looking forward to this one!

Now if I can just stop picturing Downey Jr. as a complete drunk cokehead that he is in real-life, I will be able to see him as a superhero.

How come it is with certain actors/actress you just can't stop seeing them as their real-life personas when they are in a movie???? Maybe it's just me.

Do you know Robert Downey, Jr?

I like him as an actor recently. I'm looking forward to Iron Man, I think he'll make the movie fun.

The previews make it look like it is going to be awesome.

And no, he hasn't walked into my house and passed-out on my couch. But I agree that he is a very talent actor. Like a lot of actors/musicians/sport stars, its tough to see them try and do themselves in with booze and drugs

Tony Stark was an alcoholic in the Iron Man comic book series. Perhaps Downey was an easy choice. He is doing much better now these days though.

with the exception of the Fantastic 4 movies (and the Hulk, ew), i generally really like the way the Comic genre has translated to film. X-Men, Spiderman... NICE! Iron Man should be hot.

I've seen him in my gym and hope he's getting more out of that type of chemical reaction.

I want to. I need to get myself into some basic semblance of good shape first, though. And I'm hoping that i can get my lady friend to try it to. I hear that sprint triathlons are a great way to start.

Feel free to PM myself or Fish if you have any questions about getting started. Fish got me going pretty well a few years ago. There is also a link to my training log in my sig, so if you are curious about the training regiment, check it out...

I heard about this one, but I was pretty sure it was a year out. That's why I was so shocked when I thought it might be coming out this summer.

In the US, they use that famous riff at the end of the TV commercial for the movie. Somewhere, somebody is getting some royalties.

Really? Interesting. They probably do here too, then. I don't watch tv.

I've seen it with the Iron Man song attached. After seeing that commercial the only thing I could say was "sweeeeeeet".

Black Sabbath's song!!!! Every time I see that commercial with the song I get jacked up!!! Can't wait.

Another I can't wait to see is the Thor movie. I'm a huge Thor fan. Loved Iron Man when I was a kid too, but Thor is da man!
