He's not Iron Man, but he's got brass balls

[thehefner]

As I understand it, sometime last year, a paparazzo snuck onto the set of IRON MAN and took some shots of the titular hero in armor, leaking the grainy pictures to the internet before director Jon Faverau and company had a chance to officially release the awesome promo shots that would eventually make us piss our pants regardless.

Faverau, however, is not without a sense of humor, as we all know. And at the end of IRON MAN, when Tony was reading the newspaper with the headline WHO IS IRON MAN?, one can slightly make out that the newspaper's (grainy) photograph looks rather familiar. To those in the know. It was well-played indeed, and all in good spirits.

Well, it turns out the paparazzo was none too pleased, and is suing Paramount for their use of his pictures.

I shouldn't be surprised that a paparazzo should have such unmitigated nerve. But wow.



Here, to wash the taste of that out of your mouth, I give you Ninja Cat:

Remember the weeping angels from DOCTOR WHO? It's like that. In cat form.

your final line sold me to watch the video, and thus I was chortling the entire time with the spot-on accuracy of the comparison. Hee!!!

I didn't make the connection until after I saw it, as I was trying to figure out why I started to actually get creeped the fuck out by the video's end.

My fear/hatred of cats and the nightmares that "Blink" gave me... well... I actually screamed at 1:03.

FUCKING CATS.

I wanna apologize, but damn, with those both in mind, can't say you weren't warned!

Man, I never understood why they didn't just hold their eyelids open Mr. Bean style in "Blink."

"Remember the weeping angels from DOCTOR WHO? It's like that. In cat form."

Oh. My. Gosh. That's *exactly* what it's like! Especially because it's a grey cat.

And as that's my favorite, creeptacular episode, I hereby declare this creepy!
