watching iron man on demand

so yeah, iron man fucking ruled!
you of course know of my immense love of robert downey jr, and the movie was fun, inspired, and well done aesthetically, technically, and the performances were engaging. of course it was formulaic, it's a comic book movie. i'm about to go out and buy tropic thunder and have myself a little rdj filmfest perhaps. i hope the avengers teaser is part of it... and yes it was. samuel l. jackson as nick fury was fierrrrrrce. it made me almost as happy as seeing rdj at the end of the hulk, even though i made everyone wait for the avengers teaser after that and it didn't happen. i need to actually read the avengers now, haha.
ok nevermind, the seven samurai is free on demand, tropic thunder can wait for another day.
i started twilight yesterday, and it is lovely gothic crap. i wish it was written by caitlin r. kiernan or poppy z brite though, it's much too chaste and not well written, but it's still fun. and the goth kids v. vampires south park made my life last night. the goth kids have long been my favorite characters (besides ike), and all the faux goth rock songs were fucking hilarious, i'll find a clip at some point and link it here.
a week til my birthday!
