Tony Stark Will Steal Your Women
Access Hollywood scrounged up a deleted scene from Iron Man late Friday night, after I was too drunk to post done for the day, so here it is now. It’s kind fo a mixed bag?it’s very obvious why it was deleted, because the brief scene itself feels waaaay too long (which is kind of amazing, actually), but then, it’s still just spending more time with Downey Jr.’s Stark, who’s massively entertaining even during a needlessly long, unnecessarily explanatory scene as he steals women for a sexy party alibi while he goes off to fight those evil insurgents. Man, it’s going to be a good day when Iron Man comes out on DVD.
