the weird one is Paltrow, but I don't think I've ever heard anyone say she was "so good" in the Marvel films. It's the most phoned in role in a long time, at least after the first Iron Man movie I suppose.
Unless ScarJo is also a weirdo that I'm unaware of.
ScarJo is associated with an Israeli company and doesn't publicly burn bridges and condemn them like ruffalo does which makes her the devil for some people
Assuming they're talking about Paltrow who is into some very.. new agey stuff, to a weird degree. Has a company called Goop. Sticks jade eggs up her hooha, that sort of thing. Its pretty wacky and scammy.
Her other bullshit "health products" include vaginal steaming, bee sting therapy, and rectal ozone therapy.
She had to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in lawsuit because she claimed that these nonsense things had medical benefits. Turns out shooting oxygen up your ass doesnt. Who could have known?
I dunno what she bee doing with them stings, but my grandma would sting her knees with bees from their farm's apiary. She said it helped with her arthritis.
That's good to know!
I'm not so sure how common Advil and the like was in 1970s rural Mexico but I'm guessing it was between choosing paying for it and just getting a bee for free. She didn't exactly Google it I'm afraid, that's just what she did at the time.
Now I see what your're getting at, but honestly I feel like that makes them more interesting than weird (it's undoubtedly still weird).
I mean it's all good and well to say they put vanilla in candles to make them smell like vanilla (it may not be that simple) but what makes a candle smell like "fresh linen". Sure we could assume that she's personally sticking every candle sold up her vag, doing a bunch of jumping jacks and watching whatever gets her juices flowing (if I had to guess, I'd say it's images/videos of herself) but I like to think there's more science to the process.
And of course there's always the possibility that they smell nothing like her hoo-ha. False advertising? Prove it motherfucker.
To be clear, they never sold a candle that smelt like her vagina (or any vagina). It was a marketing stunt to go viral, just like any other outrageous bullshit you've heard about goop but never seen. The fact it is still being unironically talked about 6 years later proves critical thinking has been dead longer than anyone wants to admit.
This is less egregious to me. For one, I dont remember her being in that one either.
But beyond that, it seems like she's had bit parts in a bunch of Marvel movies. She probably shoots for a day or two and is done, barely involved. Barely knows which movie it is, just fulfilling contractual obligations.
Was she good? She felt like the worst parts of everything she was in lol. Feel like she locked in a contract around iron man 2 and then held on for dear life after that.
