 In a recent interview with Moviehole.net, Robert Downey, Jr. talks about his new movie Tropic Thunder, his last hit Iron Man, and the fact that he didn’t “get” The Dark Knight. Read:
My whole thing is that that I saw The Dark Knight. I feel like I’m dumb because I feel like I don’t get how many things that are so smart. It’s like a Ferrari engine of storytelling and script writing and I’m like, ‘That’s not my idea of what I want to see in a movie.’ I loved The Prestige but didn’t understand The Dark Knight. Didn’t get it, still can’t tell you what happened in the movie, what happened to the character and in the end they need him to be a bad guy. I’m like, ‘I get it. This is so high brow and so f–king smart, I clearly need a college education to understand this movie.’ You know what? F-ck DC comics. That’s all I have to say and that’s where I’m really coming from.
You liked The Prestige but didn’t understand The Dark Knight? Did you get The Prestige? Are you sure? TDK, while it may be complex, isn’t nearly as complicated to sort through as The Prestige.
And while we’re on the subject of complicated movies, how about Iron Man? I don’t remember any major plot points - just explosions and awesome flying scenes. Oh, and lots of tech gadgets. Maybe that’s why Robert Downey, Jr. didn’t get The Dark Knight - maybe he thinks superheroes are supposed to be simple.
Go check out Moviehole.net for the whole interview.

 I’m not sure if this is good news or bad news for Burger King.
Robert Downey, Jr. claims in a new story that he stopped at Burger King with a carful of drugs and his burger was so horrible that he thought something terrible was going to happen to him. He left the restaurant and dumped all his drugs in the ocean.
The Burger King reference in Iron Man is in reference to his life-changing event.

As I predicted earlier this week, Iron Man’s opening weekend wasn’t affected by the recent release of Grand Theft Auto IV, despite what some “experts” said.
The superhero film starring Robert Downey, Jr. grossed $104 million and was the second-biggest opening ever by a non-sequel, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Clearly, boys like superhero movies more than, or just as much as, they like violent video games. God bless America.
