I wholeheartedly disagree. Prying answers about something he's talked about openly and candidly time and time again while he's ostensibly promoting a movie is NOT good journalism. It's lazy and trite. Somebody already got this scoop a decade ago.

AFAIK most people in the UK consider Guru-Murthy to be a muckracker who can barely string a question together without tripping over the words a few times, just like he did in this interview.
Those are all valid points, but what was Guru-Murthy doing asking that shit at a press junket? I mean, if your shtick is probing, investigative journalism then fine, but conduct that journalism in the right contexts, you know? I think RDJ’s team or the Avenger’s press team or whoever was responsible for booking him…
“Actual journalists” don’t get invited to Hollywood press tours. I do some red carpet circuits and interviews for a small outlet, and it’s very clear that your job is to fluff the star and promote the film. There’s plenty of wiggle room to try and get something unique for yourself/your viewers/your listeners, but you…
He’s on a press tour for a movie, not an apology tour for his past. There’s no justification to blindsiding someone who is there to talk about a superhero movie by bringing up shit from their past familial relationships, heartache, and drug abuse. His line of questioning was blatantly rude, and he knew it — hence the…
That is pretty great.
Eh, I think Guru-Murthy was out of line, it was billed as a PR interview for a superhero movie for kids, the pains Guru-Murthy took to eventually twist the interview to being about “the problems RDJ has with his father” were so blatantly incongruous it was cringe-worthy. Listening to it a second time you could tell…
Lovato’s response to this tattoo artist was epic:
Guru-Murthy seems like a pretty shit interviewer though. He comes off as really awkward when asking half his questions, and he doesn’t seem to have any read on the person he’s interviewing.
Also, asking a vaguely worded question covering RDJ’s relationship with his father, his drug addiction, and his time in prison,…
RDJ has answered about his drug past many times. He was promoting his movie. He shouldn’t have to answer questions about his past. *shrug*
I’m guessing that in this case being mad at the interviewer and mad at his team aren’t mutually exclusive.
What the fuck is wrong with you?
That was wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!
Oddly, she also said, in response to a question about her marital status, “One need not be married in order to have status.” So, there’s that.
Why I always loved her. Also, she never let anything even a little thing like species differences stop her from declaring her ardor for Kermy
Y’all can snark all you want, but I grew up at the height of piggydom. I loved her. She helped me realize it was ok to be assertive. She was not the stick thin Malibu Barbie I couldn't identify with. She was bold, spoke her mind, and had fabulous style. That's what child me thought of Miss Piggy. I still love her and…
I loved (love) Miss Piggy for being able to revel in her femininity while at the same time being willing to fuck your shit up to get what she wants. Is she extreme? Yes. Yes, she is. Nobody said an anthropomorphic pig was realistic. But I appreciate that she is girly but far from passive, and strong but not a tomboy.…
Exactly. In a land of characters that were merely adornments to men, she was a trail blazer. Fierce, determined, unapologetic, hard working, comfortable in her skin and unwavering. If you watched television in the 1970’s, you would recognize just how incredible a character like Miss Piggy was. I grew up watching her…
and has more confidence than anyone on the planet.
