The Iron Dude

I caught "Iron Man" last night with some friends. It's a serviceable summer action movie, powered by Robert Downey Jr. He exceeds expectations portraying a war profiteer turned superhero.

Jeff Bridges plays the villain, a fellow war profiteer who stays that way at all costs. Even though Bridges has a shaved head and wears slick suits, his voice still betrays him as The Dude from "The Big Lebowski."

It's only a matter of time before someone grafts some "Lebowski" dialog on top of Bridges' scenes in "Iron Man," just as people have done with James Earl Jones and the "Star Wars" movies.
