“By the way, who else gets chills just thinking about how good The Dark Knight is going to be?”

Answer: this guy. And judging by Jarred’s breathless emails every time a new Dark Night trailer goes live, I think he’s in too.

I think the reason Stane didn’t stop Potts was that as she exits the building she runs into that guy from SHIELD–or what ends up being called SHIELD by the end of the movie–and takes his protection. I agree with you about Paltrow’s talent and beauty. I only wish she would get more and better roles. Check out Proof if you want to see what’s she really capable of when given a first-rate script.

It’s kind of sad that this movie is the most exposure many Americans will have to the harsh reality of the military-industrial complex, which is responsible for so many of our foreign policy ills. We’ve gone from Eisenhower–whose name, coincidentally, means Iron-Hewer–to Tony Stark! But I suppose we could do worse than Robert Downey Jr. as a tribune of the people.

By the way, who else gets chills just thinking about how good The Dark Knight is going to be?
