Movie Reviews and Previews Captain America 2 might be funny? I worried for Captain America, a lot. Of all of Marvel’s pre-Avengers movies, that’s the one I had the most concern about. The challenge with Cap is that Steve Rogers is the boringest superhero ever. It’s like Lainey says about Game of Thrones all the time— By Sarah • Jun 07, 2012 01:57 pm
Douchebags Charlie Sheen’s comeback After one of the most public, bizarre, and entertaining meltdowns in modern entertainment memory, Charlie Sheen is returning to TV, and he’s celebrating his comeback with a cover profile in Rolling Stone. Sheen’s new show, Anger Management, airs on FX later this month. I’m curious to see By Sarah • Jun 07, 2012 11:05 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Jeremy Renner kicks major ass I’m loyal to Jeremy Renner. Ask Lainey. I’ll defend him to the mattresses. Why? He pinged on my radar years ago, way before his big break, before SWAT even, back when he was knocking around town, getting drunk and singing in bars (listen, that dude can SING). Renner By Sarah • Jun 01, 2012 12:38 pm
Girly Throw Downs Dominic Monaghan calls it like he sees it If that name is making you scratch your head, he was a hobbit in Lord of the Rings and was Charlie on Lost. The second one is the important part. Remember my General List of Celebrity Don’ts? Well Monaghan just ran afoul of #8, “don’t badmouth another celebrity By Sarah • May 30, 2012 11:59 am
Benedict Cumberbatch Obviously I’m a bad fan of things Last week I wrote about the consistent rumors dogging Benedict Cumberbatch and his possible involvement with Marvel. The emergent rumor is that he could be Ant Man, and I said—I thought I said—that Ant Man is a boring character with a stupid superpower, and that if Cumberbatch is By Sarah • May 28, 2012 03:54 pm
Cannes 2012 The most boring Cannes OF ALL TIME I really can’t remember a less interesting Cannes Film Festival than the one that just happened. Maybe it’s because Angelina denied us the opportunity to be LEGGED again, or maybe it’s because the weather sucked over there and everyone stayed inside, actually watching movies, but there was By Sarah • May 28, 2012 11:11 am
Quiveration Tom Hiddleston, dork crush We’re so fickle around these parts. How fickle? It was just over a month ago that many of us ran mad with Tom Hiddleston crushes, and it took only a few weeks to pretty much end it for the majority. Check out Lainey’s timeline—she started crushing here By Sarah • May 24, 2012 01:04 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Marvelous Benedict Cumberbatch Could not resist. So Benedict Cumberbatch has been hanging around Marvel since late last year, prompting a lot of talk about what he’s doing and the inevitability of his involvement with one of their properties. The natural assumption—mine included—was that he would play Dr. Strange. Because if By Sarah • May 24, 2012 09:47 am
Community Why I DO care that Community is coming back (Lainey: Click here for Maria’s article yesterday about not being a fan of Community. Today it’s the counterpoint courtesy of Sarah.) This is me electrically waving at new LaineyGossip contributor Maria and promptly picking a fight with her. BECAUSE THAT’S HOW I ROLL, BOO. Yesterday, Maria wrote By Sarah • May 22, 2012 10:22 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Spiderman’s German frontrum I don’t really know what this video is except horrifying. I have a motto—start exclusive, stay exclusive. This is my media/marketing approach. I’m a boutique person; I’d rather serve a smaller, more rarified clientele than be a big smashing hit with the masses. In marketing By Sarah • May 18, 2012 02:09 pm
Media Manipulation RDJ’s Avengers haul In the ongoing story of “The Avengers is making all the money”, The Hollywood Reporter has a piece about Robert Downey Jr.’s Avengers bonus money. RDJ took a huge upfront pay cut to be in The Avengers (so did everyone else) but, thanks to a deal negotiated after Iron By Sarah • May 17, 2012 09:51 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Cannes 2012: Heavy on Hollywood (Lainey: I’m still catching up after flying overnight to Cannes. Trying to rush out a few new articles but let’s start first with Sarah’s Cannes preview since they’re all starting to arrive. I screen Moonrise Kingdom tonight. Attached - the cast at the photo call today.) The By Sarah • May 16, 2012 11:36 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Please care about Spider-Man That’s what all these ads should say. “Please care about us”, and, “Hey we made a superhero movie, too!” Sony’s The Amazing Spider-Man, the middle child of the summer superhero titles, is going full-tilt trying to build up interest in the movie that no one particularly By Sarah • May 15, 2012 11:06 am
Douchebags The General List of Celebrity Don’ts This list evolved years ago as a kind of joke for actor/comedian friends, but then some of them actually started using it and it took on a life of its own. Recently I was asked to update it for the post-Twitter celebrity world and Lainey’s thoughts on By Sarah • May 10, 2012 11:21 am
Movie Reviews and Previews The Avengers’ earth-shattering box office In the days leading up to The Avengers release on May 4, the projections were calling for a $150-170 million opening weekend. I thought it would just beat the high side, ending up around $172 million, which would best the previous opening weekend record set by Harry Potter and By Sarah • May 10, 2012 09:57 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Peter Parker, middle child I’ve been worried for The Amazing Spider-Man for several months now. Ever since I heard the marketing was being held up in order to recalibrate the approach in the face of underwhelming reaction to the first trailer and marketing push late last year, I’ve wondered if Spider- By Sarah • May 04, 2012 11:57 am
