The YouTube Playlist II
Image by Profound Whatever
I posted the first YouTube Playlist more than a year ago, but it's grown since then so it’s time for a re-post. It's both a list of various sources of inspiration for things I build or things I write (I'm a film student, remember?), and a well of entertainment to kill time. I post it here because it's cleaner than filling up a Word document with all sorts of links, and because maybe someone else will find some enjoyment in it, and because favoriting videos on YouTube just isn't the same as making a nice, cold, organized list.
*The list is ever-increasing.
**That’s a stairwell somewhere in Italy; can’t remember where.

I Am IRONMAN
Image by Cayusa
Day 125 of 365 (Year Two)
In case you can’t guess, we went and saw Ironman today. It was everything I wanted it to be. It is rare that I will sit still through a 2 hour and 7 minute movie without fidgeting. I was so absorbed by the movie that I hardly noticed the passage of time.
I’ll admit that when I first heard that Robert Downey Jr. was cast as the lead I had the same reservations that many did. After seeing the previews I felt a bit better about him in the lead and now that I’ve seen the flick I can’t picture anyone else in that roll.
If I had to find any fault with the movie, it would have to be the final battle. It was a bit anti-climatic, but only slightly. It was good, just over a bit quick for me. I can’t fault how it all played out, I just wanted more.
Hopefully, everyone else who saw the movie stayed until AFTER the credits were over. I can tell you that 90% of the folks in our theater left. They missed out.

Robert Downey Jr Trivia!
I thought he was really sexy in Iron Man and Sherlock Holmes, but i can’t seem to think the same when he was younger and, well, clean shaven. I like his bad boy-ness.
Btw, where are some good photos of him in Sherlock Holmes- where he looks hot?
Answer by ♥ Be Still My Love
I went to see Sherlock Holmes, too. I think he looks way better without it.
