Movie Reviews and Previews Captain America can do this all day The second—and some say final—trailer for Captain America: Civil War was just released and it’s a continuation of what has been, so far, a stellar ad campaign. Last year, Disney kinda blew it with Avengers: Age of Ultron, not really doing a great job communicating the tone By Sarah • Mar 10, 2016 02:47 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews New Captain Ameri—He shot Tony Stark IN THE FACE! I’m just assuming Lainey is Team Iron Man because Tony Stark is her favorite Avenger, so she’s probably not going to be Team Winter Soldier at all because the new Captain America: Civil War Super Bowl TV spot shows Bucky Barnes firing a gun point-blank in Tony Stark’ By Sarah • Feb 08, 2016 12:11 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Captain America: Civil War – Whose side are you on? In a surprise move, Marvel dropped the first trailer for Captain America: Civil War last night on Jimmy Kimmel Live (thanks to some Grade-A studio f*ckery, expect to see a new trailer from DC soon, too). Trying to keep up with their bosses’ brinksmanship may drive everyone at Marvel By Sarah • Nov 25, 2015 10:28 am
Celebrity Social Media Smutty Social Media, Friday November 6, 2015 Robert Downey Jr. wishes his wife a happy birthday, and I’m getting shades of Justin Timberlake.

BFFs RDJ’s summer with Gwyneth While Chris Evans spent the weekend repping Marvel at Disney’s D23, his Civil War adversary, Robert Downey Jr, was where he’s been for most of the summer – in the Hamptons, with his family, and one of his closest friends, Gwyneth Paltrow. As I mentioned last week, initial reports By Lainey • Aug 17, 2015 10:39 am

Media Manipulation RDJ the “emotional chameleon” I thought about titling this post “RDJ: the backlash?” but I’m not sure if this qualifies as a full-on backlash. I mean, it’s been a week, not even. And if you compare how RDJ’s been treated, compared to say, Anne Hathaway, it’s hardly a f-cking backlash. By Lainey • Apr 28, 2015 01:03 pm
Dumbass What could go wrong? If you were a Disney/Marvel publicist, last week probably wasn’t great. Jeremy Renner and Chris Evans were sexist (click here for a refresher). Robert Downey Jr walked out of an interview (click here for a refresher). Then he made headlines again for culturally insensitive remarks about Alejandro Gonzalez By Lainey • Apr 27, 2015 04:26 pm
Media Manipulation RDJ walks out Before I shut down last night I watched the RDJ interview that everyone’s been talking about. He was in London the other day to promote Avengers: Age Of Ultron. The outlet was Channel 4 with journalist Krishnan Guru-Murthy. It’s making headlines because the video is a major cringe. By Lainey • Apr 23, 2015 12:07 pm
Style Superhero tails & kicks All the Avengers showed up tonight at the UK premiere. They’ve been dividing press duties by territory but this market required full superhero participation. Full participation means Tony Stark has to show up. So here he is, Iron Man, Robert Downey Jr… How do you feel about his lighter By Lainey • Apr 21, 2015 04:04 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews All the peppy Avengers Sarah mentioned in the previous article about Chris Evans that he was supposedly, um, pretty peppy at the premiere last night. I just watched all of them playing Family Feud on Kimmel before they hit the carpet and, with the exception of RDJ, I think all of them were lit. By Lainey • Apr 14, 2015 09:58 am
BFFs The Avengers assembled all weekend The Avengers: Age Of Ultron press junket was this weekend. Which is why Robert Downey Jr was so active on Twitter. He posted some great pictures and a couple of sassy videos, and you can see them all here, but this is the one Sarah’s trained me for. Civil By Lainey • Apr 13, 2015 08:42 am
Movie Reviews and Previews She’s with the Avengers With just under a month until it opens on May 1, Marvel has released the final trailer for Avengers: Age of Ultron. Despite a steady stream of trailers, TV spots, and featurettes, they’ve done a really good job recycling footage so that they haven’t given the whole movie By Sarah • Apr 07, 2015 11:33 am
Media Manipulation The Gwyneth Paltrow Members Club It makes sense. Because she runs in such exclusive company. Like if we were talking about children, hers would be the most exclusive treehouse in the neighbourhood. And every kid within 50 blocks would want to be invited to this treehouse. But only few get the privilege. TMZ reports that By Lainey • Apr 06, 2015 10:49 am
Movie Reviews and Previews The Avengers must be playing baseball That’s my takeaway from the new extended TV spot for Avengers: Age of Ultron—they must be playing baseball. This spot features a lot of new footage, including Thor swinging for the fences using his hammer as the bat and Captain America’s shield as the ball. Easily the By Sarah • Mar 19, 2015 03:34 pm
