Britain... Britain... Britain...

in Little Britain, Season 3
After work yesterday, I skipped the gym (I need to stop that) and went to Borders to get Little Britain, season three. I am really loving this show and the skit above was one of the best.


The Friday Night Project Hosts Alan Carr and Justin Lee Collins
One show I'll miss watching in Ireland is The Friday Night Project. It's an interview/celebrity host/skit comedy show that is just bizarre and hilarious. Ultra-gay Alan and Bearish Justin certainly do make it worth watching, but sadly the show isn't being aired in the States. I do love how the British get away with cursing and *slight* nudity on TV more than we do. It's all good fun.

I admit, I'm still sort of reeling from jetlag, which is odd as it usually never lasts this long. I'm tired and sleepy, yet waking up at 5 AM nearly every day before the alarm clock. I'm wondering if the seasonal changes aren't playing a part in it as well.

Iron Man

Robert Downey, Jr. as Tony Stark in Iron Man
I took an hour off early today to go see a matinee of Iron Man. When Tony Stark, a rich weapons designer/manufacturer is kidnapped by a terrorist group armed with his company's weapons, he designs an armor to escape and make amends for his company.

The movie is spectacular with good acting, great special effects, and a fun mix of drama, action, and comedy. Robert Downey, Jr. fits the role of Tony Stark to a tee, in looks and character, especially from what I recall from the comic books. I read somewhere that Jon Favreau had to convince the producers that Downey would be right for the role. I've read that the actors have signed on for two sequels already. If you go see it, stick around to the end of the credits for an extra scene that is really good, especially for comic book guys.

Did I enjoy the movie? Very much.
Would I see it again? Oh yeah.
Buy the DVD? Yes.
