Smart People

I went to the Emerald City Comicon today (you'll get an update on that tomorrow when it's over) and in the middle decide to take a break for lunch. Well, I decided to go see a movie too since the theater was right across the street from the convention center. So, of course I went and saw Iron Man and I'm going to say flat out that it was absolutely horrible. First of, who the fuck decided to put Ellen Page and Sarah Jessica Parker into Iron Man? And, I thought they had cast Robert Downey, Jr to play Iron Man not fucking Dennis Quaid.

Also, when did Iron Man become a sentimental tale of a dysfunctional family centered around an embittered father who has retreated inside his own intelligence since his wife's death and then the generally breaking out of said hiding place? I thought Iron Man was supposed to be about a man made out Iron that flies around and blows shit up?

WTF.

Anyways, my main complaint is that nothing blew up in this movie, other than my heart.

Smart People get's 5 Beards for being well filmed, smart, and compelling. See at the dollar theater or rent it.
