Gwyneth Paltrow hates big Hollywood movies, and still thinks Americans suck

Gwyneth Paltrow has vowed not to make a big Hollywood movie - because they're "terrible".

The actress says today's films are so bad she can't imagine leaving her daughter, Apple, to shoot one.

Gwyneth, who is expecting her second baby with husband Chris Martin, said:

"Hollywood films these days are just so bad. They used to be kind of good like 'Top Gun' or something, but now they're just terrible.

"So, I couldn't imagine leaving my daughter for 14 hours and doing something like that."


She also doesn't think Americans are the smartest bunch in the world.

The mother-of-one told Britain's Star magazine:

"Brits are far more intelligent and civilised than Americans. I love the fact that you can hail a taxi and just pick up your pram and put in the back of the cab without having to collape it. I love the parks and places I go for dinner and my friends. It's a pretty city, you know."


Meanwhile, Paltrow's daughter Apple has both a British and an American passport but doesn't mind her English accent.

The blonde star said:

"She says 'Mummy' instead of 'Mommy', I don't mind that. I will if she starts saying 'basil' and 'pasta' the English way, as that really drives me nuts."

Your argument didn't even get out of the starting gate.

Um...YOU'RE American. And you star in only BIG HOLLYWOOD MOVIES, as a rule. That's just...wow...I can hear the brain cells dying.

Probably all the curry takeaway.

Eh? Can we say "non-sequitur"?

I think she was either just listing things she liked about England "smarter, more civilised, their cabs are big, they have nice parks" or they took it out of context. Or, she's just an idiot.

[yoohoo]

i relaly dont like here. comparing countries is pointless, very country is differnt and a person's perceptions will be different. I really don't like fish stick away. never have, always seems to have a large rod stuck up her ass.

Gracious, I've been spinning my wheels. All I have to do is allow uncollapsed prams in my taxi, and my lifelong dream of being smart & civilized (sorry, civilised) becomes reality. Screw Brokeback Mountain, let's study the gold standard:

Iceman: You two really are cowboys.
Maverick: What's your problem, Kazanski?
Iceman: You're everyone's problem. That's because everytime you go up in the air, you're unsafe. I don't like you because you're dangerous.
Maverick: That's right! Ice... man. I am dangerous.


Iceman: The plaque for the alternates is down in the ladies room.

Maverick: I think I'll go make a fool of myself with Goose.

Hondo: Your ego is writing checks your body can't cash.


Slider: Goose who's butt did you kiss to get in here anyway?
Goose: The list is long, but distinguished.
Slider: Yeah, well so is my Johnson.


Maverick: She's lost that loving feeling.
Goose: No, no she hasn't.
Maverick: Oh, yes she has.
Goose: I hate it when she does that.


Excuse me while I weep.

No, they used to be kind of good, like these:



And one for the Australians on the board:



Now they're kind of terrible, like Top Gun.

Gwen thinks that Top Gun is the ultimate benchmark of Hollywood artistic and creative integrity???

[ourmaninBusan]

I think Gwynnie's remarks will prove that there is such a thing as bad publicity.
