| Lo Fun Fact #1 |
| "Lolita Files" is my real name. It is not a pen name, as incredible as that may seem. There are plenty of Files family members and people who have known me for years capable of validating this. As for the "Lolita" part, my mother named me after the movie based on Nabokov's book, although she saw or read neither. For as long as she lived, she had no idea there was anything sexual or seedy about being called "Lolita". |
| Lo Fun Fact #2 |
| I love fried chicken and fabulous shoes (although obviously I can't eat fried chicken nearly as much as I'd like). If you ever want to get on my good side, send Popeye's or Church's (that's right, I said Church's) and a pair of
Christian Louboutins. |
| Lo Fun Fact #3 |
| Never show up unannounced or without a Pepsi. Better yet, how about not showing up at all? |
| Lo Fun Fact #4 |
| I hate the telephone. Don't get mad if I don't call you or take a long time to return your calls. I don't call anyone. Don't call me asking why I don't call. Just don't call, okay? (Exception: I will happily take all calls related to business or to share fun/exciting/major news. I'm just not one for jawing on the phone just to be jawing.) |
| Lo Fun Fact #5 |
| I love the internet!!! I love communicating through the internet!!! You can e-mail me and odds are I'll e-mail you right back (if I'm not in the middle of a major project). Makes up for my hangup about the phone, doesn't it? See, I'm not so bad after all!!! |
| Lo Fun Fact #6 |
| I can't stand IMing. Please don't IM me. I'm always on my laptop and connected to the internet as I work and when IM's pop into my screen out of nowhere, they break my concentration and often startle the sh*t out of me in the process. So don't do it. You will get the cold shoulder. I don't like giving people the cold shoulder, so please don't put me in that position. |
| Lo Fun Fact #7 |
I have four five six wonderful, slap-happy dogs and a cat, all of whom I love to pieces. I had a bird (a Roller pigeon that I rescued in LA on New Year's Day in 2004) named B-Bird (what? that's a good name!) who passed away in February 2009, which broke my widdle heart in half. He loved me so, as I did him. If you meet me and ask me about my dogs and cat, we'll be instant friends, and if you ask about B-Bird, I'll probably hug you (unless you smell...wash first). If you meet me and ask me why the f*ck I have four five six dogs and a cat, see the above fun fact for how I will respond. |

 ...and so, apparently, is the rest of the world.
If you haven't seen this movie yet, do yourself a favor and run, run, run to the theater. Of all the film adaptations of comic books, this, in my opinion, is by far the best. Robert Downey, Jr. is officially a superstar. He commands the screen with his every move.
 Seriously. I couldn't take my eyes off him, just like the women who fall prey to his recklessly charming Tony Stark character in the film, he held absolute sway over me. (Those dark lashes framing those charismatic eyes...WOW!!!)
 I plan on going to see this movie at least a couple more times this week. That's the first time I've felt like that in a long, long while about a film. Everything about it was top-notch, from the impeccable casting, to the highly-credible and quick-witted writing, to the smart, sharp direction by actor/director Jon Favreau (who makes a cameo in the film), of whom I've been a fan since the cult classic, Swingers. This is Favreau's Peter Jackson moment, and this franchise (and it will be a franchise, make no mistake, as evidenced by the surprise that comes after the credits have finished rolling) will be his Lord of the Rings.
This fun, engrossing, amazing movie restored my faith in the Hollywood blockbuster. Things don't have to just mindlessly blow up anymore (although there's lot of things blowing up in the movie, but with good reason). The audience can have a grand old time with sharp storytelling, some food for thought, and eye candy for both the guys and the girls.
 Mmmm-hmmm. Let the church say, " Amen"!!!
Oh yeah...and I can't wait for the next one, Terrence, uh, I mean, Rhodey...
 Check out this clip of Terrence Howard explaining how he doesn't want to be anybody's sidekick. Looks like homie can't wait for his turn at bat, either!!!
Lastly, here's a series of back-to-back clips from the premier and other interviews, for even more details about the movie. If you are a big fan of this film like me, sit back and enjoy!!!
