America is dumb

Gwyneth Paltrow and Robert Downey Jr.’s new film Iron Man earned an amazing $104.2 million over the weekend. You heard that right, a superhero movie starring Gwyneth “fake British accent” Paltrow made $100 million+ in its first weekend. Us Weekly says:

Combined with international sales, Iron Man earned $201 million — the highest of Downey Jr’s. career. It was the best weekend opening for a non-sequel since Spider-Man — which made $114.8 million on the same weekend in 2002 — and the 10th best opening of all time. (Source)

$104 million? That’s almost enough money to cover Robert’s coke habit. Two more sequels and this movie franchise might actually break even. We should be proud of him though — it’s no small feat to be a recovering coke addict that picks himself up from the gutter and ends up making meaningful contributions to our society . . . just ask the current president. Don’t laugh democrats, Barack Obama was a bedwetter until 26.
