Je suis Iron Man

         I'm a big comics fan, and the fact that "Iron Man 3" was coming out while I was in France wasn't going to deter me from seeing it as soon as possible. In fact, I was overjoyed to learn that it would be showing up in French theaters a week and a half before it opened in the US.  I'm not sure why. But this would mean that I would get to see it before the rest of my friends, which would give me lots of teasing ammunition.
        I mentioned it to my host sister, and she instantly and enthusiastically agreed to go with me. Which was fantastic.
        Sadly, my family's complicated schedules and general chaos meant that we didn't get to go as soon as I had hoped. We finally went tonight, and were accompanied by one of my host mom's other daughters, who happened to be visiting for the weekend.
        We just got back. My initial report is that it's a fantastic movie, with lots of plot twists and excellent acting.
         Even more exciting to me is the fact that, though it was dubbed in French, I understood maybe 90% of it, and was able to follow what turned about to be a very complex story.
   And for that, I'm really proud of myself.
