Hubba hubba. As if Michael F. Assbender’s perfectly-parted hair, tight-but-compact frame, and steely gaze weren’t already enough to moisten your panties and/or manties, X-Men: First Class just released this deleted scene from the DVD (out September 9th) in which he dresses like a sexy lady. Actually, it’s the scene in the film where Xavier and Magneto go to the go-go club where Lenny Kravitz’ mutant daughter with dragonfly wings (Angel Salvadore) works and try to recruit her, but this time with a slightly different ending. Inside the private room, Magneto reveals his mutant powers by levitating the metal champagne bucket, while Xavier reveals his by entering Angel’s mind and changing Magneto into a lady (that’s Angel’s point of view we’re seeing above). So when you think about it, it’s just a future cripple putting a wig on a holocaust survivor to make a stripper feel comfortable enough to take her top off. Man, they really knew how to party in the sixties.

Just in case this video gets pulled like my wiener before you have a chance to see it, this is the alternate opening scene to Iron Man 2.  It starts with Tony Stark puking in the toilet of what turns out to be his cargo plane, followed by playful banter with Pepper Potts, who’s trying to coach him through his hangover (try this Egyptian-lavender scented alka-seltzer, just $69.99 on goop.com).  It ends with the bit you saw in the trailer, where Gwyneth Paltrow kisses his helmet (hee hee!) and he jumps out of the plane after it. This part ended up getting cut, and the actual film begins a few seconds later, with Tony Stark landing on stage at the Stark Expo.

Director Jon Favreau has said that the sequence was removed because he wanted to give Robert Downey Jr a big entrance, and the reveal of Stark on stage after landing worked better without the opening bit of comedy. [/Film via GammaSquad]

I like the alternate version better.  With the excess of characters that didn’t do that much, the rushed feel, and the lack of significant conflict, Iron Man 2 at times felt more than just a little Entourage-y, and opening with him onstage as the world’s biggest celebrity (as opposed to a hungover smartass) only plays more into that.  Oh my God, bro, don’t you want to be just like Tony Stark, or one of the talentless jackasses that hangs out by his pool?  He’s like the coolest guy ever, please turn this into a GQ article about grooming tips.

"Good, now mind the stepchildren..."

Over the weekend at “Star Wars Celebration V” in Orlando (where producer Gary Kurtz was supposed to share how he and George Lucas split over creative differences during Return of the Jedi), the highlight of the event was the reveal of this 55-second “lost” scene from Return of the Jedi.  It shows Vader beckoning Luke to the Dark Side and Luke powering up his space phallus (like a boss).  Anyway, watch it before it’s gone.  My Olivia Munn sex pillow is going to pretend to be so excited about this.

Funny People comes out on DVD today, and though I agree that it should’ve been 15 minutes shorter, I liked it, and if you didn’t it’s probably because you’re a stupid idiot with a limp wiener and everyone hates you.  To promote the release, they released this deleted scene in which Seth Rogen (Ira) has to drive Adam Sandler (George Simmons) to San Francisco while he watches Hellboy in the back seat.  Then they talk movie ideas, and Ira has an idea for a George Simmons movie in which all the kids born from the sperm he donated in his youth come find him at the same time.  It’s a decent idea, as far as Adam Sandler movies go, but Adam Sandler’s all, “That’s dumb, I’m a make a movie where me n’ Rob Schneider watch Kevin James fall down for two hours, and it’ll be like Old School as written as an episode of Caroline in the City.”

At least, I assume that’s how it ends.

In this deleted scene from the Bruno movie, recently leaked to promote the DVD release on November 17th,  baseball great Pete Rose is subjected to the same here-sit-on-my-Mexican stunt that Bruno used on Paula Abdul.  To his credit, Rose doesn’t squirm or complain, he just settles in and starts talkin’ baseball.  At one point the crew tries to rattle Rose when his chair starts acting uncomfortable.  But Rose is unflappable.

“He don’t seem to understand that this is very uncomfortable for this guy.  So get another guy here, because this guy’s uncomfortable.”

And then they swap Mexicans.  See?  The first step toward a post racial society is to treat every minority as an individual.  Just because one Mexican isn’t good at being a chair, that’s no reason to assume that a different Mexican wouldn’t be better.  Well done, Pete Rose, it seems this is not your first time sitting on a Mexican.  Ahh, good times.  It’s like my junior high experience in reverse.
