*melts in heat*

Man. It was in the 50s when I left Milwaukee. It's HOT down here in Texas.

Anyway. Wedding was safely accomplished. And, as I'm a wimp, we didn't do much at Faire, just wandered around some and then left for the dy. Plus: no sunburn. Minus: no shiny things bought. Not that there were shiny things I needed.

Finally saw Iron Man and. Man. Um. You all know my general opinion of slash and such, yes? Well. If there is not Tony/Rhodey slash from this movie, FANDOM HAS FAILED ME.

Seriously, people. I don't slash and I was picking up awesome chemistry from them.

Gwyneth Paltrow was ok, but her facial expressions just reminded me of every other movie I've seen her in.

I don't, for the record, actually want to read said slash.

In other news, is it Friday yet?

Someone's mentioned Tony/Jarvis slash. But I haven't heard much with Rhodey.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

er... who is Jarvis?

[rosewildeirish.livejournal.com]

The A.I. *grin*

...well, I suppose it would be faster. But, damn. The internet is limiting my choices to a disembodied voice and a woman who should never be cursed with him EVER?

Pshaw.

[rosewildeirish.livejournal.com]

LOL. At least he animates the suit. ;)

Dude, I walked out of the movie going "...so. Tony/Instant Gratification = OTP?"

And then the internet ruined me.

But. FUN MOVIE!

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Fun, yes.

Dude, you're right about Pepper never being cursed with him ever. Honestly, Rhodey shouldn't either, he just has since college. At least Tony PAYS Pepper to hang out with him?

(Probably not enough.)

Hi *waves hand*
I just wondered over from sam_daily and I wanted to let you know that I completely agree!! I loved Iron Man and I sat there the entire time thinking how slash-y it was. :)

Tony/Rhodey seem to really compliment each other. Seriously, how cute were they?

And Paltrow... eh... I could take her or leave her. I think someone who can really act would have brought a little something extra to the part.

In random news... sorry about the heat in TX... I know I'd take WI over TX any day!

HAH.

I was utterly amused, as I'm the one who rarely slashes boys. And I was the one going, "...man, they have chemistry..."

Possibly, it's helped by the fact that I've read the comics, and no woman EVER should be forced to date/love/marry Tony Stark. Ever. No man should, either, really.

Yeah, I should be clear on that. It wasn't Pepper I had issues with, it was the writing and the acting. the princess disguised as the scullery maid who marries the prince is a little overdone

HAH. Well, it's even colder here, now. Sigh.

*smiles* Sorry about the weather. I'm from WI and there is a reason I don't live there anymore. :)

See, I sometimes do slash boys, but sometimes... it writes itself. BTW, I looked. There are four stories about them! FOUR! Ridiculous! I thought the fandom would be more on top of these things.
Anywho. I agree that Tony is not really the kind of settle down/get married type. With anyone.
I didn't hate the character of Pepper, either. I'm just not a fan of Paltrow. I've never really seen her acting as... you know... good... so I just don't really see the point of her. Sure, she is skinny, but so is a tree. Doesn't mean they should try to act.

Ha! I agree on the 'No no no, no Pepper/Tony'.

Also, I don't even slash and could buy the concept of Iron Man/War Machine chemistry.

AHAHAHA. That's what I'm sayin' "omgwtfslash?"
