She is a founding member and editor of The Revolving Door Commune Blog, is currently at work on a collection of short stories, and is writing a web series for Pareidolia Films called The Pack, which is set to debut this fall! As a geek, Teresa loves all Star Trek, Lost, Fringe, comics, and anything Joss Whedon, Brian K. Vaughan, and Neil Gaiman ever touched. She is also an aspiring fangbanger.

I still have yet to see Iron Man (I know, I know. It’s been four weeks of birthdays and graduations. Madness, I say!), but I’ve heard so many good things that I’m going to make a concerted effort to see it this weekend. Before Indy 4 comes out and my inner fanchild goes into overload.
Thank God, a review for the fangirls I went to the movie with. I actually told off one of my gay guy friends for NOT BEING GAY ENOUGH when he didn’t find Robert Downey Jr. f’ing hot as the sun.
I’m with you with the seat cushion thing. Yeah, it wasn’t a dry house when we left. And the scary thing is that it’s all-powerful. Girls I know who are not prone to this come out looking like they’ve gone two hours sitting on a magic wand. Good times!
And the suit is dead sexy, too.
Agreed!
That suit was giving me a serious girl-boner through the whole movie. I was with a bunch of boys and wondering if they were having the same problem.
Yummers.
sing it, sister.
I have to read the comic now!!! :O
And ha-HA! Robert Downey Jr. trumps the hotness of other superheroes (read: Christian Bale).
See, Christian Bale is a different kind of hot to me. That’s like comparing hot, superhero apples and hot, superhero oranges.
i am straight, and i get exited thinking about owning a suit like that.
ps. i reinstalled ubuntu with 8.04 and named it jarvis.
Just got around to seeing Iron Man today and all I can say is that every time RDJ stared at anything, I felt he was staring into my…uh, soul. Yeah. Soul. I spent nearly two hours resenting the fact that my husband was sitting next to me.
But the supreme hotness of RDJ's Tony Stark aside, Iron Man stomped and snarked its way right to the top of comic book film adaptations; right next to Batman Begins, where it deserves to me. See, Marvel? Not all of your movies have to be dumbed down and filled with juvenile humor. You finally gave one of your heroes a proper celluloid rendering. Good on you!
Now please to be speaking up about a certain credits easter egg? I am simultaneously intrigued and annoyed over here.
I’m actually VERY intrigued about that easter egg! Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury is PERFECT! (and actually, they did model the “Ultimate” version of Nick Fury after him…)
Why are you annoyed, Heather? Not pleased by a big-screen movie with the Avengers in it?
Not pleased with the casting, I’m afraid. Stoked about the hint at Avengers action, but – ugh, I’m so over SLJ and am tired of him infiltrating my movies. :/
