My friend J and I went to see Iron Man this weekend. To my delight, Robert Downey, Jr. proved to be a refreshing choice to play Iron Man. Unlike many comic book character movies (I'm looking at you, Spiderman franchise), Iron Man has actual dialog and even a few funny lines. It was great and I'm not surprised it has taken in over $200 million worldwide in five days. But there was one thing that caught my eye and had me feeling nostalgic throughout the movie. Iron Man/Tony Stark has a fancy light-uppy thing implanted in his chest. To me, it looks just like a View-Master disk. It made me wonder if I could flick Iron Man's thumb and see an image of Donald Duck in a bathtub coming from his chest. Another flick and there's Dumbo flying over the circus tent. Ah, memories.
