What I'm Reading: The Secret Life of Bees and How Far is the Ocean From Here by Amy Shearn
What I'm working on: Gleaning knowledge from Writing the Breakout Novel to add to Slayer
I just returned from seeing Ironman.
It was so good. Don't get me wrong. It wasn't perfect. There were some really predictable parts, but overall, I loved it.
It had lots to love....
A wounded hero
A lonely heroine
A greedy, well-motivated villian
Some nasty bad guys
Enormous character growth
A compelling need of the hero to make a difference and not waste his chances
A flawed protagonist
and........
the possibility of a sequel.
Batman is still my favorite superhero -- super-wounded, just human, amazing character growth -- but Ironman is my new close second.
Who's your favorite superhero?
(Which superhero would you like to play love interest opposite of?)

I haven't seen Ironman yet, but I'm a Superman girl - especially Christopher Reeves' Superman.
Batman- Christopher Bale. Not that i didn't think Michael Keaton wasn't good at it or Val Kilmer. But Christopher Bale just does it for me.
Superheroes, hmmm? I don't know...
I mean, Superman? Faster than a speeding bullet, anyone? (You weren't thinking of that, were you, Dara....LOL)
Actually, superheroes in general are kind of a turnoff. There's no chance at having your DH be arm candy, for one thing--he's always trying to hide his alter-ego. Then, there are the clothes. Really. You go out to a movie, and next thing you know he's in the men's room putting on tights.
I know, I'm a sucker for a man in (or out of) uniform, so I think I'll stick with my favorite flawed alpha heroes....
