I saw Iron Man 2 on opening night, and it was great. (Stay tuned for the full review.) It had great acting, awesome special effects, and was just overall enjoyable. During the movie you will also notice two interesting cameos, one of Oliva Munn playing the part of a reporter at the stark expo (plus a deleted scene where she is hitting on Tony Stark at his birthday party), and another memorable scene featuring a rather surprising character. Bill O’rielly.
Yep, Bill O’Riely, portraying himself, makes a small cameo in a scene where he bashes Tony Stark for fucking up as a super hero, and for putting Potts in charge of his company.
As funny, and surprising as this scene is, it makes me wonder if Bill O’Rielly is a mere character/alter ego of himself who is paid by Fox News to act the way he does much like Stephen Colbert is by Comedy Central. Why else would he agree to make himself look like even more of an ass, and be his typical self on the big screen? It’s just kinda weird that he would agree to be the news reporting bad guy in a movie just as he is in real life (whether he realizes it or not).
As you may have realized, I’m not a fan of Fox News, nor a fan of Bill O’Rielly (or at least his character), so the best part about this is that when Tony walks into the room where Pepper was watching the tube, Stark says “Mute.” Hilarious, because Bill doesn’t ever shut up.
What did you guys think of tis scene? And what do you think about my opinion on O’Rielly? Let me know in the comments.
Full review of Iron Man 2 tomorrow.
