Iron Man -- UK Charity Premiere
Entertainment in the Square all day today courtesy of the Iron Man launch budget. A cool golden simulator free

for fans all day gave those brave enough a taste of what it would be like to fly like the Marvel character. Tried

it myself. Cracking stuff. It was great to have something to divert during the standard eight hour wait. We had a

giant screen during the red-carpet parade, so even those far away could see close-ups of the stars. Many treats

for the waiting ones, thank you Ntashie and PremierPR. No premiere in the Square would be complete without some

inclement weather and today's random act was umbrella smashing hail stones and thunder for a few minutes. Go

figure. It stayed fine for the important bits and Robert Downey Jr and Gwyneth Paltrow gave the fans what they'd

come for, lots of autographs, pictures and good humoured banter. Plenty young ones at the barricade today, their

numbers swelled thanks to a strike by teachers. One lucky lad had his store-bought Iron Man mask signed by the

stars -- now that was an odd thing to witness. Lots of shouting and screaming of course, mostly made necessary by

the thumping rock soundtrack that's de rigour at red carpet events recently. Terence Howard and Director John

Favreau got into the spirit of things with the crowd too, adding to that unique premiere feeling. A good gig.
