Saw "Iron Man" with Mrs. WatchDog Monday while ignoring the Marlins-Mets and Pens-Wings games.
Liked it.
But it's time to trot out my rant from last July about people leaving theaters immediately after a film ends in this era in which many movies (especially comedies) include additional material during and after the credits.
In this case it's a cheesy, obvious setup for a sequel, and you have to wait through 10 minutes or so of credits, but still . . . Please, America, unless you really, really need to use the facilities or drive the babysitter home, stop leaving before the credits!
Thank you. Carry on.

i do not like it when people talk to the screen during the movie.
Very impressive that you were able to recall a blog posting rant with such specificity, from so long ago, since you rant about every third entry. Did you check that blog entry link, by the way? Seems to be evidence that you were padding page views. Some of the links in the comments don't seem very WatchDoggy.
Rex: That goes without saying. I favor the death penalty for people who talk in movie theaters.
Charlie: It was soon after that era when they instituted the annoying new security code system, which eliminated all those junk comments.
neil.i would bet you are a big rocky horrror picture show guy.
I went to one midnight show in Ithaca before you were born, but that's it.
I, however, thanks to my friends' setting my midnight social calendar, have seen many Rocky Horror Picture Shows. Not sure that kind of talking to the screen would bother Neil as much....
Mrs. Watchdog...
"I...have seen many Rocky Horror Picture Shows."
Oh my......oh my......
How does one fight the urge (not unlike Sellers in his Strangelove role trying to hold down the right arm) to launch into a litany of appropriate and jaded responses directed towards life with your better 1/8?
God Bless you Mrs. Watchdog.
My bladder almost exploded waiting for that teaser. I learned so much about who works on a modern Hollywood film than I ever really wanted to know.
