IRON MAN 2_angst

I keep telling myself that something is going to come along and motivate me to blog about it… but nothing’s really sparking my interest.  What gives? You’d think I’d be more excited about Iron Man 2.  Then again, I never was really excited about the first one.  It was a great movie, don’t get me wrong, and it kicked off one of the best blockbuster movie summers ever (The Dark Knight) but so far, though I’ll undoubtedly go see it, I’m just not that excited about the sequel.  The trailers are entertaining, Downy looks chum, and Paltrow is as hot as ever (I’ve never been able to explain my attraction to her… everybody else in the world seems to hate her.)  On the other hand, I’m not so sure about Mickey Rourke or Scarlett Johansson.  Both of their characters look like jokes.  Have you seen Rourke’s cockatoo yet?  Word on the street is that the cockatoo sealed the deal on his contract.  No cockatoo, no Rourke.  Yes, I’m serious.

Sam Rockwell is cool though. No doubt about it.

Thoughts?
