Theron had been taken very seriously for many years when she started dating him. He lent her the opposite of credibility.

That was disturbing indeed, considering her personal history and her activism. I was so glad when that ended.

Sadly, that was too well done for today’s A.V Club.  Those who would truly understand and love the joke are long gone.

Hmm...Any Charlize Theron movie is better than Michael Bay’s CGI vomit.

So u should have left out the line “when he still existed” as it brings up the very thing you wish to leave out. Also it doubles down on an existential exploration of the nature of self and gender and existence itself... so yeah, maybe leave that part out.

She did. I think it was when she was promoting Red 2? She was talking about how much she love filming the driving scenes and how she’d love to be in a FF movie. From which, wise commenters on the internet noted that it would be PERFECT to make her the evil mother of the Luke Evans & Jason Statham characters.

Whatever joke that was, it completely went over her head and she has no clue wth is going on.

the guy who somehow directed 1996’s Set It Off, a female-driven film featuring one of Queen Latifah’s best performances, and then 2015's Straight Outta Compton, where he shat on nearly every female character portrayed as well as a female journalist who questioned why he did so. Not to mention, former Los Angeles TV…

She’s dead AND her love interest is dead. The loop is pretty closed on Han and Gisele.

Okay I know you probably mean this as a joke so my comment isn’t really directed towards you, but I’m not loving people thinking she is a shitty person solely because she dated Sean Penn (if you have other reasons, that is fine). I have seen so many amazing, kind, intelligent women date human garbage and not realize…

She’s awesome and really evil as Queen Revenna. I think she’ll be great in this.

He’s actually a notorious ham and silly dude (seriously check out his Facebook) ... not sure why anyone would want to avoid him!

Actors gotta work. Therzon is a smart woman. she’s not going into this without a very well thought out, cultivated plan.

I was really hoping they would take Helen Mirren up on her offer, but Charlize is pretty cool.

Money grab, pure and simple. Plus, it’s probably fun to film: show up, look good, chew some scenery, hang out with The Rock, avoid Vin Diesel...sounds good to me.

That’s exactly what’s so fascinating about it. Disney is supposed to be the most magical place on earth, but of course the magic is all fake and real life (and death) is still happening. It is totally bizarre.

It was pretty obvious she was referring to the beginning of her career if you actually read the quote, not where she’s at now. She’s already talked about turning up in baggy clothes in an effort to stop casting directors trying to push her into roles with no real substance or longevity in them.
When she turned up to…

Wow, this is actually really cruel. Isn’t this the same for all actresses and isn’t it actually horrible and disgusting that genuinely great actresses are cast aside the second they start looking older? Why would be sound so gleeful about something like a woman’s value being depreciated as she’s no longer considered a…

I was on a plane with Sean Penn not too long ago. I can confirm he's an asshole.

Sean Penn is a spousal abusing piece of shit. He's on my permanent boycott list along with Charlie Sheen and Chris Brown.
