German car company wags the Hollywood dog

Jon Favreau used to be cool. He co-starred in Swingers, for God’s sake, which remains one of the coolest movies ever made. Now look at him, pussying up to Audi because they paid out trillions to place their product in new Hollywood blockbuster Iron Man (which Favreau directed).

The way he explains how one stunt, involving Audi’s Q7 SUV, was problematic – because of the Audi’s excellent anti-lock brakes and traction control! - is particularly tragic. So Audi makes shit stunt vehicles. Then why use ‘em? Product placement taken to new, horrible levels.
