JON FAVREAU IS A BIG FUCKIN' BEAR MAN.

I saw the new Iron Man movie this weekend.  It's getting a lot of great reviews and some are even calling it the best super-hero movie to date.  I'd have to say it's in a close race with the first Spider-Man movie for that title.  Even so, it was pretty fucking great.  Plus the $4.00 Reese's Pieces where delicious.  The director - Jon Favreau - will now be launched into the upper tier of directors like a space monkey.  I met him once at a film festival in upstate NY.  He's a really nice, funny, down-to-earth guy.  His first movie, Swingers (which he wrote and directed), is a classic.  Vince Vaughn co-stars and steals a lot of the scenes.  Here's a clip to help Jon remember the good old days - when he was a poor struggling hilarious slob like the rest of us.
