Movie Review by Luz
May 7th, 2008

Favorite Movie Quote: "I do anything and everything that Mr. Stark requires, including occasionally taking out the trash."

Iron Man was everything it was supposed to be... and then some. I'm not even a fan of either Robert Downey, Jr. or Gwyneth Paltrow--or of superheroes in general, or of comics in particular--but this movie was pretty awesome all around. Funny, smart, action-packed, a [surprisingly satisfying] plot, high-tech special effects, subtle romance, political undertones, and a touch of feminism. It had it all.

Bottom line: It made me wanna go buy a Burger King kid's meal just for the prize.

I know! I hate BK, but I'd go just for the toy in the kids meal! LOL!

THAT quote ruled. HA! HA!

I can't wait to figure out what the connection is to Burger King. Is this a mom thing? Where you been woman, I haven't heard from you in ages!

	Luz May 8, 2008 6:13 PM
uh, trying to catch up on my reading assignments? he he. It's taken me the past two months just to get halfway through reading your last column! ;o) You won't find a BK reference in the movie--you'll have to go to your local BK for it.

My last one? The one on Badass Babes? I dedicated that one to Luz-ifer!

	Luz May 8, 2008 10:28 PM
hee hee. I caught the gist of it, and loved it!

	Bobby B May 14, 2008 12:58 AM
Whaddaya mean? Burger King was all over that movie. And when he said "I need an American burger" and broke out with a BK bag, I thought of you! :)

	Luz May 14, 2008 5:12 PM
Oh yeah!! I forgot about that. heh. Wow, bet they spent a pretty penny on that plug and it was completely wasted on me.

	Bobby B May 14, 2008 5:28 PM
But see, it worked on your SUBCONSCIOUS! You're being manipulated by the puppeteers and you don't even know it.

	Luz May 15, 2008 9:42 PM
Darn that subliminality! he he. Actually, I wouldn't've known about the kid's meal prize except I overheard somebody else mention it. I just thought the connection was random. And for the record, it hasn't technically worked yet anyway. I hate BK fries even more than I loved Iron Man. :o)

	Bobby B May 15, 2008 9:47 PM
I shouldn't even admit this but when I lived in Seattle I had some friends who lived close to a BK and a McDonald's that were right next to each other and I'd go get my burger at BK and my fries at Mickey D's. Ugh. I don't eat that way any more. :)

	Luz May 15, 2008 11:03 PM
HA! That's great! I knew I liked ya for a reason.
