Ooops ... And Iron Man News
- Miss Us?
Thanks to those of you who sent us e-mail while the sites were down for a while. Here's what happened: Wendy is taking a break from blogging, her schedule just doesn't allow it right now. You might have noticed that she hasn't even had time to write reviews at film geeks in a long time.
Anyway, Internet Explorer 7 doesn’t allow the same old FTP access that the previous versions did, so we're using open source FTP software and trying to find a program for FTP that we like. Some of this stuff is a bit cryptic, especially for amateur users.
Long story short, a wrong click here and a wrong click there and, ooops. All gone.
Thankfully, I'd just backed up everything.
I was able to get everything restored properly except for Dorkside, which is flakey now. You can leave comments for Wendy, though, at this identical post at the family website. She'll still be around.
I feel creepy posting this… like I'm the cyber-version of Scott Peterson, trying to explain his wife's absence. Thankfully, I don't own a boat. - Good Call On Iron Man
So Wendy calls me at work last night and tells me that they've cast Iron Man. She'd found out through Strange Culture. I took a big gulp, fearing bad news as a whole list of over-rated, untalented, pointless or washed-up prettyboys ran through my head.
Then, Wendy blindsides me with good news. They cast Robert Downey, Jr.
An actual actor! A good actor!
And, an actor who's personal experiences with addiction might bring some weight to the role if they go into Tony Stark (Iron Man)'s battles with alcoholism.
This is beginning to look promising.

I agree with you about Robert Downey Jr; he's a good actor.
Sometimes busy life and blogging don't mix. That's why I post only once or twice weekly. It would sure be nice to get paid to blog. :)

somehow I knew pointless would lead me to Keanu.
I loved all those links and guessing.
They all made sense.

There never was a Wendy, was there "Darrell"? The truth begins to unravel as you have less time to maintain multiple accounts... ;)
Cruise was a long time contender, but now that he's on the outs with Hollywood for being a wacky alien worshipping couch jumping closet Dawson's Creek fan, I guess Downey Jr. is next in line. Plus, Charlie Sheen is busy with a sitcom.
Downey could work though if he stays sober IRL. And at least it's not Affleck.
