Beware of Overexcited Flailing

[masterofmidgets]

So I decided that I needed to see Iron Man as soon as possible, since a) madly, madly in love with Tony Stark, and b) everyone has been raving about it, and then I got a card from aunt with money in it that she said to spend on a movie or dinner or something, so I took the train today into Redwood City (wtf is with Palo Alto not having a normal movie theater? FAIL), and saw it.

I know everyone's heard this from everyone else on their flists, but OMGSOAWESOMEYOUHAVETOGOTOTHISMOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!! The whole time I was sitting there beaming because it was just so darn fun, and then I stayed to the after credits bit and started squeeing because Samuel L Jackson as Nick Fury = LOVE and Avengers movie yay!! and as soon as I got out of the theater I called Envy and the first twenty minutes of our conversation was me waving my arms and making high pitched noises. So yeah, I REALLY liked this movie.

Also, Robert Downey Jr sweaty and filthy and blowing shit up was brain breaking levels of sexy hot. Flying into the center of the sun with a nuclear bomb hot. Extremely hot, is the concept I'm going for. He has really pretty eyes. And shoulders...and...possibly there was more than one moment I wanted to lick him because damn.

On a related note, has anyone else seen the trailer for the new Batman movie? Were they making it that incredibly homoerotic on purpose? Cause it kinda, well not kinda but actually totally seemed to be pushing Harvey Dent as the love interest for Bruce Wayne in this movie. I mean, there's the scene where the woman (Rachel? Was that Rachel?) is introducing them, and Harvey says he's heard so much about Bruce, and Bruce says he hopes it's all been good, and --guh. They writers have to know that that kind of dialogue is supposed to be used in scenes when the guy is introduced to the girl his friend's trying to set him up with. And then Harvey's line to Alfred about there being any psycho ex-boyfriends he should know about...Not that I object in any way to less-than-heterosexual Bruce Wayne, because DUH BRUCE/CLARK SHIPPER HERE, but I want to know if they were doing it on purpose.

HAHA I JUST GOT BACK FROM IRONMAN AND I WAS THINKING ABOUT WRITING THIS EXACT ENTRY WHEN I READ YOURS. and was saved 1000+ efforts! thank you!
did you think his mini arc reactor WHATEVER THE SHIT was hot? I don't even care, to me it was just a pretty glowy thing inbetween his toned moobs and btw he was wearing nipple-showing shirts every 2 seconds, just wondering if anyone else was keeping track of that.
and as I was watching the movie the thought of r.d.jr. as tony stark being a total catamite kept popping into my head. I have no idea why, since it's made abundantly clear that he LIKES THE LADIES AND HE LIKES THEM OFTEN. he's flippant and bantery in such a FEMININE way! or maybe it's his total sloe eyes. or the luscious manhips that he kept showing off in those awesome sweatpants. or the thin-yet-expressive lips. the flaming metro facial hairs... I DON'T KNOW BUT I CAN TELL HE LIKES TO BE DOMINATED BY PENIS.
p.s. everything you have said about the batman (trailer) is true

I was indeed struck by his habit in the second half of the movie of wearing undershirts that seemed designed to cling to his chest and show off his sexiness and glowy heart plate.

And he is SO a catamite. Even in the movie he totally flirts with Rhodey almost as much as Pepper, and in the comics...ooooh boy. Shall we start with Captain Badtouch Tiberius Stone ('best friend' who tries to kill him)? His enormous mancrush on Captain America? His suit of armor that becomes sentient, falls in love with him, and then beats him up for cheating on him with new armor? (the crack, it is beautiful).

the fandom refers to it as Tony's abusive ex-boyfriend.
