Iron Man 2, The Idea of Rom-Coms

Greetings, blog-readers! Long time, no blog! Well, the time has come to change all that!

So today we welcome the much anticipated Iron Man 2 to theatres nationwide. Anyone seen it yet? I'm so excited, I'm seeing it on Sunday. Can't wait to get back and discuss it -- the first Iron Man just about changed my life. Seriously, it's on a list of movies I created in Word titled: Movies That Changed My Life. But enough about that...

I haven't really read any reviews so I'm not sure how it's faring compared to the first, but I trust Jon Favreau, who doesn't? And by the way, if you're not doing anything (after you finish reading this post, of course) go to Google and search Jon Favreau Wilhelm yell. There should be some sort of article along with a montage of a certain scream. It's freaking interesting, blog-readers. You'll never think of screams the same way again.

Anyway, so onto Rom-Coms. For anyone out there who doesn't know, Rom-Com is simply Romantic Comedy simplified. There are good rom-coms, okay rom-coms, and the plain stupid rom-coms. Just two, three days ago I watched a plain stupid rom-com called Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. Oh, what a terrible movie! Watching it made me feel indifference for Matthew McWhatever (because let's face it, I lost interest over that man after he started having babies out of wedlock) but poor Jennifer Garner! When will she be in a good movie? I mean, did anyone watch The Kingdom? I thought that was pretty good...

Anyway, so I stuck around for GoGP just because we got it in Netflix and I figured, might as well watch it, since it was free. Then I went and checked it out on imdb.com, and there was a forum counting down 100 things learned from the movie. Here are a few tidbits that I found funny:
6. Personalized plates are not always cool --gommetji
10. If you dont get married you'll die alone --joewilson70
17. When the $4000 wedding cake is about to crash, don't call for help. Try to get the most fragile object that's the furthest away with your foot. --spam-1420
20 - If you meet a successful doctor who happens to be a charismatic guy and good dancer, choose to be with the heartless jerk who already said he liked you once, but ran away minutes after he had sex with you. --the junkhead

Anyway, so I think I am done ranting and raving...I can't remember, sadly, what our #2 choice is, but #3 I'm pretty sure is New Moon....sigh, a movie which I will probably sit through. But I will go into it with an open-mind, because that is what film critics do! Right??
