I remember, oh so long ago, making the statement, "I don't care what anybody says. When I grow up, I'll still read comic books." I was so sure. I was so wrong.
But, it came to pass, the motion picture industry did it for me. They continue to read comic books and they continue to bring the super-heros of my youth, to life on the big-screen. Superman, Batman, and Spider-Man
continue to fight for the American way.
The current Governor of California, once answered a journalists question, "How do you pick your next picture?" Arnold said, "If you can tell what the picture is all about, from only a movie poster, then it's my kind of picture."
So here we go again. "Iron Man," is the Governors type of picture, but he's busy right now fighting the recession, so Robert Downey, Jr. makes a bigger comeback, as Tony Stark, than anyone ever thought possible.
This is the same comics story-line, billionaire/womanizing/playboy/
weapons manufacture/ makes-over into "Iron Man," who saves the world and this weekend's Box Office.
