Iron Man, that is. (Please, people — Movie Babe often likes to reminisce about her virginal youth, but those days have gone the way of John Hughes movies and analog sound.)

Alas, there’s a screening of the sure-to-be-kickass movie tonight, but since it’s too late for my paper’s deadline, I’m not writing about it. And therefore don’t have to see it tonight. And therefore have the rare opportunity to wait and see a giant opening when it actually opens with my dear hubby, who understandably gets a little bummed watching something I’ve already seen.

Must be love.

Yes, our affair will have to wait.
