Why do they keep killing off Gwyneth Paltrow? SPOILERS

[The Backlash Cometh]

Se7en, Country Strong and now Contagion. Is this because death is so shocking if it's Gwyneth Paltrow?

1. Any movie that offs Gwyneth Paltrow gets a "thumbs up" from me.

5. I was shocked at how quickly they

knocked her off in Contagion - never did allow us to like her - not even a little.

7. She played Sylvia Plath too nt

8. The sooner they do it in the movie, the better

best is if they don't cast her at all.

fuckin' snot-nosed brat.

9. You know her?

[WolverineDG]

10. I've seen her lie about an interview she gave in Spain

snotting off about Americans visiting there. Tried to pass it off as a bad translation from English to Spanish, but she gave the interview in Spanish (as a way of showing just how much more intelligent than other Americans she is) & the translation was a word-for-word translation of what she had said. Unfortunately for Ms. Paltrow, I am somewhat fluent in Spanish & was offended not just by what she said, but by the fact she believed she could lie her way out of it because she thinks Americans are too stupid to more Spanish than she does.

True, she's no Cate Blanchett.
