If you read the comments on my Iron Man review post, reading this will make you understand this post’s title 
Em português (sim porque também faz falta), uma conversa amena e interessante entre amigos. Só faltou mesmo mesmo o expresso, mas já tinha bebido
As a long time fan of super hero comics, Marvel and DC characters movies have always been on my movie watch list. In this movie genre, Marvel found the “right formula” before DC did, nevertheless DC seems to be catching up with the latest Batman movies, still, Marvel has literally setup a super hero movie making engine. This year we had Iron Man, we’ll have another Hulk (hopefully Norton will own Bana’s ass) and the Dark Knight returns for some Joker and Two Face, I mean Harvey Dent, ass kicking. As the interweb says, “It’s printing money”. But I digress…
Last night I went to see Iron Man, hoping for a good s.h. movie, some butt kicking comic style, “a la” Spiderman. How wrong I was… This movie is very very good. This movie proves that a good casting can change a super hero flick into a great movie. Iron Man doesn’t have the depth of Batman Begins but it glues you to the chair in a roller-coaster of adrenaline and intrigue. Some times you’ll laugh, other times you’ll grab the arm chair so hard you can tear it apart, but this movie will make you “fly” faster than Iron Man. This movie is two hours long and when it ends you’ll want more.
I can’t say that the star of the movie is the Iron Man armor (still, for me, the 3 of them are the most beautiful Iron Man armors ever designed), the details, effects and effort are very clear when you see the armor, but Robert Downey Jr. incarnates the Tony Stark character so well that you can’t split it from the rest. The Tony Stark / Iron Man combo is deadly in this movie, sometimes you can see some kind of Captain Jack Sparrow / Depp in there.
The backing actors really fill in the gaps and make RDJ shine. Gwyneth Paltrow plays the dedicated secretary part, in a very discrete way but with a very important role on the whole thing. It’s not a great acting but the part doesn’t demand more. Jeff Bridges plays a very important part on the movie as well, but I can’t go much deeper than this because it will spoil the movie for you.
Returning to Robert, his character’s personality transformation during the movie makes this story more convincing, still you can’t forget there are no laws of physics in super hero flicks, so when you see the Iron Man suite breaking all the laws of physics in 10 seconds don’t be surprised, actually, forget that, you’re there to see something fantastic and that’s what you’ll get even if you’re not a super hero movie buff.
As for the future of Iron Man in the movies, watch until the very end of the credits and you’ll get a glimpse of the things to come. This has become the way of Marvel giving us some tip.
The final word: approved!

The header was too dull… I’ll try to get a footer done still this week.
JoikuSpot is a free mobile software solution that turns Nokia Smartphones to WLAN HotSpots.
JoikuSpot software is installed directly to the phone. When switched on, laptops and ipods can establish instant and fast wireless internet connection via smartphone’s JoikuSpot access point using phone’s own 3G internet connection.
Multiple devices can connect to JoikuSpot in parallel and seamlessly share the same 3G internet connection. JoikuSpot acts thus as an internet gateway to external WLAN devices.
Useful isn’t it? 
“Legend has it that Hemingway was once challenged to write a story in only six words. His response? “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.” Last year, SMITH Magazine re-ignited the recountre by asking our readers for their own six-word memoirs. They sent in short life stories in droves, from the bittersweet (“Cursed with cancer, blessed with friends”) and poignant (“I still make coffee for two”) to the inspirational (“Business school? Bah! Pop music? Hurrah”) and hilarious (“I like big butts, can’t lie”).”
My “story” was picked among the thousands submitted, guess I was lucky
