Er, well, except for the part where I kind of got bored about a third of the way in. It was an okay movie, there were some fine spectacles, and, unlike Iron Man I didn't keep going, "No one would really survive that!" because it was just so cheesy there was little room for reality to intrude (other than the parts where he was being shot at, I found those impossible to believe). I am wondering if maybe I'm just too much of a burnout to enjoy action movies anymore? I don't know, somehow it seems that I'd still enjoy Flash Gordon and The Matrix with all my heart, but this movie wasn't quite up to snuff for me. Oh well. Someday I'll see one I love again, but in the meantime, I'll load myself full of the Guy Maddin movies and make do.

Which is better?
So I'm trying to decide against two different icons, taken from the "I'm Glad I'm a Boy/I'm Glad I'm a Girl" book ( this illustration, about the…
