I. AM. IRON MAN.

(Disclaimer: for those of you who are interested in wedding video and photos...they are on their way. This post, however, is pure pop drivel.)

With the Iron Man movie coming out tomorrow, I've been constantly humming Black Sabbath's tune of the same name over and over and over in my head. So when I got to work today I wanted to look up the lyrics so I could actually sing it. To my surprise, the lyrics and song are completely awful. The only really great element to the song is that classic rift performed by Tony Iommi. But as soon as Ozzy steps up to rock the mic, I just want him to stop ruining the great guitar sound.
Now I know Sabbath has some notoriety as being a dark predecessor to modern metal, and Osborn is supposedly some rock legend. But with the exception of War Pigs I can barely sit through anything the man sings.


Regardless, I'm looking forward to seeing the movie at some point this weekend. The idea of a post rehab Downey Jr. playing a booze saturated crime fighter is almost too perfect to pass up.

I love how Tony Stark is just wearing his Iron Man suit underneath his shirt and jacket. Like it wouldn't look all bulk and stupid trying to wear regular clothes over the Iron Man suit. . . Whatever. . . not his finest moment. . . maybe that's what hitting the bottle so hard does to him.
