Iron Man

After a morning of hard work, the group met for lunch. Derek, Mike and I enjoyed the first dog of the season. We then discussed travel plans for iron man the director of transportation informed us to catch the 5C at 5:30. I met the boys (and Sara) on the bus at McMaster, bringing a small tin of nachos from the student center. It was found that the nachos were completely inedible at this point, after having likely degraded to plastic in the years and months before McMaster Hospitality Services deemed them appropriate for sale to students. Undeterred, Jago polished the nachos off for a free meal.

We arrived at the theater around 6:30 for the 7:10 show in anticipation of massive crowds. After rushing into the theatre we barely managed to secure a row of seats against throngs of people desperate to see iron man. Actually, we were the first ones there so we ended up with some serious time to kill. It went by fast though and more participants arrived.

Some good trailers were seen at the movie which I can't remember at the moment, but I was definitely interested. Maybe someone else can fill me in on what for. The movie was solid with powerhouse performances by Robert Downey Jr. and Mickey Rourke. Sam Rockwell took the role of Justin Hammer (seriously?) for mixed reviews. However I think we can all agree that the real standout performance was Scarlett Johansson. I'm not exactly sure what her role was but come on

Can't compete with that.

I think just about everyone who reads this blog has now seen the movie, but in case you haven't here is your spoiler warning.

After the credits rolled we were treated to a bonus scene with generic agent in the New Mexico Desert staring over a large crater. He then calls Samuel L. Jackson (with an eyepatch) and said something ominous which I forget and we are treated to a view of a big hammer which has apparently made the crater. For those not familiar with comic book lore this was Thor's Hammer. You are probably already familiar with Thor as the Norse god of Thunder, but you may not also know that when he is notr ruthlessly murdering his enemies he is a superhero for Marvel comics.

Who knew?

After the movie we returned to Arnold to watch the game. While most members opted to take public transportation, James Brown chose to bike through torrential rain all the way from the mountain to Arnold. Upon arriving at Arnold, James was offered a seat, however he refused, instead going to get a brew. For this impressive display of May of Dreams spirit, James Brown is hereby awarded the title 'Iron Man'.
