Movie Reviews and Previews Inside the Superhero Clubhouse First, Marvel’s panel started nearly twenty minutes late. Then, they didn’t announce anything new, except that the Guardians of the Galaxy’s pre-destined sequel will open on July 28, 2017. There was no news on Dr. Strange, or long-awaited confirmation of a Black Panther and/or Captain Marvel By Sarah • Jul 28, 2014 01:25 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Superhero Clubhouse! With Warner Brothers electing to save Batman vs. Superman for next summer’s Comic-Con, this summer’s convention belongs squarely to the other superhero orgy in our lives, The Avengers: Age of Ultron. To that end, Entertainment Weekly is featuring a first look at Ultron on the cover of its By Sarah • Jul 16, 2014 03:46 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Lighting RDJ The first trailer for Robert Downey Jr’s next film, The Judge, was released yesterday. My first thought after watching it was… Holy sh-t they lit the f-ck out of this movie. Then I texted Dylan who’s been lighting the f-ck out of our shoots for almost 15 years By Lainey • Jun 20, 2014 09:46 am
Baby and Bump Obsession Avengers pushing strollers Robert Downey Jr and Jeremy Renner are in Nashville with their kids. On Monday they all went to the Nashville Zoo. Here are Iron Man and Hawkeye pushing strollers around. For RDJ it’s his son Exton and for Jeremy Renner, it’s daughter Ava Berlin. His girlfriend Sonni Pacheco By Lainey • May 08, 2014 12:24 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews So far, RDJ is not embarrassing When RDJ joined Twitter I fretted, because I love RDJ lots and Twitter has betrayed me before—betrayed all of us—ruining many a celebrity crush. But so far, RDJ’s Twitter is not bad. So far, he’s not an aggressive tweeter. He’s not offering daily affirmations or By Sarah • Apr 29, 2014 11:26 am
Robert Downey-Jr RDJ is tweeting, prepare yourself Many of us love RDJ. RDJ is magic. RDJ is the best, always, at everything. In a time when past movie icons have failed us—I’m looking at you, Johnny Depp—RDJ has remained. He’s the last Forever Love standing, the one who doesn’t embarrass us, make By Sarah • Apr 15, 2014 11:50 am
Media Manipulation Marvel’s favourite son In the year 2004… Tom Cruise and Johnny Depp were supposed to be the sh-t. Ten years later, Brad Pitt has an Oscar, so does Matthew McConaughey, and Robert Downey Jr owns the box office. In other words, nobody knows anything, ever. Here’s RDJ in Malibu yesterday with his By Lainey • Apr 11, 2014 02:17 pm
Amazingness The People choose RDJ/Tony Stark/Iron Man Anyone can be replaced. Anyone? ANYONE? Maybe at some point, sure. But there’s a reason Marvel agreed on a big payout for RDJ to come as Tony Stark Iron Man. It’s because right now, he’s the only one the people want. The people decided he was the By Lainey • Jan 09, 2014 09:48 am
Robert Downey-Jr RDJ in St Barts Page Six ran a headline on Saturday about where celebrities are spending the holidays: “Is St. Barts losing its exclusivity?” Something about a lot of famous people skipping out on St Barts this year because there are no Russian billionaires there paying for all the parties. Just like us, right? By Lainey • Dec 30, 2013 11:21 am
Best and Worst of 2013 Top of 2013: Robert Downey Jr Two years in a row… The Avengers was the biggest movie of 2012. Iron Man 3 is the biggest movie of 2013. That’s $1.2 billion in global box office. And you cannot argue that that has a lot to do with RDJ’s appeal. Somehow, in his 40s, By Lainey • Dec 24, 2013 11:37 am
Sit DOWN As IF Terrence Howard This b-tch. Terrence Howard played Rhodey, Tony Stark’s best friend, in the first Iron Man movie. He was good in the role. I enjoyed their chemistry. I enjoyed his exasperation every time Tony behaved like, well, Tony. Clearly Howard enjoyed himself too. Because he wanted more money to come By Lainey • Nov 18, 2013 09:47 am
BFFs Gwyneth’s weekend with RDJ And Jason Bateman and Joel Silver and Reese Witherspoon and Jon Favreau and Maya Rudolph and Gwen and Gavin… Oh and Justin Theroux. But not Jennifer Aniston. I guess she was busy. Because she and G are friends post-Pitt. Proof! Anyway, RDJ threw a 40th birthday party for his wife By Lainey • Nov 12, 2013 03:32 pm
Girly Throw Downs RDJ isn’t bothered Director James Toback tried sh-t on Robert Downey Jr last week because, I dunno, he stopped using black tar heroin and became a mega movie star…? Click here for a refresher. Toback claims he made RDJ. And, I think?, was trying to say that when RDJ got clean he ended By Lainey • Nov 04, 2013 12:34 pm
Girly Throw Downs Criticising RDJ Not me, not me. Definitely not me. On my birthday last month, while we were out for dinner, for some reason Sasha’s husband brought up an old movie called Black and White, directed by James Toback. I think it’s because we were talking about Gaby Hoffmann and the By Lainey • Oct 29, 2013 09:37 am
BFFs RDJ’s Best Supporting Actor If Michael Fassbender doesn’t want it… RDJ presented to Jared Leto last night at the Hollywood Film Awards. Jared was honoured for his performance in Dallas Buyers Club with Breakout Performance Award, even though he’s 41 and has been acting for a long time. He was humbled by By Lainey • Oct 22, 2013 05:01 pm
Music RDJ’s weak spot RDJ’s been pretty flawless the last few years. You know he’s my top jam. I love him so much. I don’t even mind it when he sings (although, to be honest, it’s not my favourite). Music might actually be where RDJ and I don’t meet. By Lainey • Oct 08, 2013 11:49 am
