IRONMAN!!! I loved it. It was so much fun. Summer you are dead on about Robert Downy Jr. I’ve always loved him and knew he’d do amazingly, but this was great (and what was really surprising….he was HHHOOTTT!!). What did you say about Hulk and Tony Stark? I feel I’m missing something potentially wonderful. Please let me in on the loop!
