Blind Item #7
It is no accident that this A- list mostly movie actress is making sure stories about her helping out an ex are being released almost every day. There is a movie coming out very soon and this is being used as talking points for interviews to get maximum attention on her.
Jen Garner
ReplyDelete/Affleck
DeleteWhat's the movie? I thought her HBO show was well a show
ReplyDeleteIt's Peppermint....don't mind me I'm so tired I forgot that IMDB is a thing for a few minutes..
ReplyDelete@Ophelia-Peppermint.
ReplyDeletePretty intense film she plays a vigilante after her family gets murdered by a gang
Saw the trailer... Oscar worthy shit
In fact,was watching the trailer with a bunch of kids(part of a school trip we were there to see Transylvania 2), and the manager apologized for it being shown on accident. It’s -intense.
DeleteLmao it’s nothing but another Taken, Sleepless, John Wick. It looks incredibly corny and Garner’s dry ass delivery leaves a lot to be desired. The movie looks cheesy as fuck
DeleteIt’s basically her going back to her alias roots.
DeleteShe might be done with him, but she’s using him for promotion in her career. Very unfeminist.
ReplyDeleteHas Jennifer Garner ever declared herself a feminist?
Delete@DotDotDot: Yeah I think as long as she doesn’t “market” herself as a “fiminist” she can do whatever the fuck she wants. It’s the hypocritical assholes who use it as a PR tool that get me.
DeleteIt’s like that time an actor’s castmate kept trolling the fans to ship her with him—for some reason I always had this impression she wanted to be one half of a “Tumblr SJW Power Couple” (ugh, hate the level of PC). She didn’t like his wife at first, but as soon as she realised the sub-group of fans who ship him with his real-life wife fell into a a Venn diagram section that overlapped those who shipped his character with hers, HSBC started faux-fawning over his wife like the wife was her new <3 BFF. Gross!!!! Is that what a feminist looks like now? A pragmatic suck-up?! I can still feel compassion toward a woman who destroyed me, but damn that was some “user” famehoe shit.
And don’t tell me she doesn’t call the paps (because the guy she was papped with at the radio sure as hell never called the paps ever until he married his wife) or that she isn’t “picky” with who she dates (the crazy terrifying Tumblr NUTJOBS who stalk him aren’t more tomato cream than her). Never been so disenchanted by the movement in my life!
But that’s just me. 🤷🏻♀️
Is everyone so full of shit in those circles?! FFS.
How did autocorrect correct “she” to “HSBC”? 😐
Delete*the crazy terrifying Tumblr NUTJOBS who stalk him ARE MORE ROMANTIC than her
Delete🥫🍅🙎🏻♀️
I haven't seen the trailer but I saw the poster the other day while getting off the subway and was so confused why Rachel McAdams looked so different then realized it was Jen haha
ReplyDeleteAnd ah is she going to use the talking point how like her character she'll do anything for family?
I think...
DeleteThe play the trailer for Peppermint on Youtube ads, which is where movie trailers go when they're trying to draw an audience they don't have. Same thing happened with Proud Mary and Red Sparrow.
ReplyDeleteOr another take:
ReplyDeletethe rabid tabloid press is following them both as they know that his breakdown will sell papers.
She seems like a nice person and his falling off the wagon is coincidental to her movie coming out. Or is Enty saying that they planned this together? LOL
He's been off that wagon for a very long time.
DeleteOR since the tabloids are saying he'll lose Batman over this cuz of post rehab insurance.
ReplyDeleteEven he knows he sucks as Batman and this is an elaborate plan for him to get out of his contract early lol.
Peppermint has flop written all over it.
ReplyDeletePeppermint- Elektra 2- Electric Boogaloo
ReplyDeleteStill she needs him around and lucid to be a decent father to his kids.
ReplyDeleteJen has learned to play the game very well.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure she's the one driving him to drink. She seems like a shrew.
ReplyDelete@Jon - how does she seem like a shrew? I'm curious because she's only ever seemed polite and kind of boringly "normal" to me. What has she said or done that makes you think "shrew"?
ReplyDeleteDid you read the blind?
DeleteOther than gossip sites I’ve never seen anything that implies or states that Jennifer Garner is who you all think she is.
ReplyDeleteDeath Wish, but with a woman.
ReplyDeleteWell why not Death Wish but with a woman? They're openly redoing every other movie out there. It might be good or it might be bad - too early to tell and it's a low bar these days. She does not and has never seemed like a shrew.
ReplyDeleteAnd she did help him out. He's helpless and needs helping.
ReplyDeleteEnty is not saying she lied about what she did for Ben, only that she is making sure people know that she was the one to convince him to go to rehab! I think its commendable on her part that she cared enough, whatever the reason be, to persuade him to go to rehab! TeamJen all the way!

ReplyDeleteShe deserves to get something good out of taking care of his sorry ass.
ReplyDeleteThis blind is ridiculous, everyone knows she can't act, nobody would be fooled into seeing her movie by some off screen kindness.
ReplyDeleteShe did help him, regardless. An addict has to want help though. I dunno. I like her. There are other ways that are much more selfish that she could have done to get publicity.
ReplyDeleteI saw the trailer for that movie in the theater and it was AWFUL. It's not Death-Wish-With-A-Woman, it's just another sad attempt at women doing traditionally male roles as a movie's only gimmick. How many "BUT THEY KILLED MUH FAAAMILY!!!" revenge flicks are we going to have to avoid before Hollywood realizes that big-budget action movies have gone out of style. If somebody runs over a fruit cart in that movie I swear I'll start to scream.
ReplyDeleteIncidentally, this isn't the first female vigilante movie ever made, there's been tons of them. Sandra Locke did Sudden Impact back in 1983, definite female vigilante that didn't need "training", martial arts, or super strength, just a big gun and a burning desire to get even, although naturally Clint Eastwood saved the girl from prosecution in the end (after all, it was his movie). Stay home and watch the half-dozen or so female vigilante movies that have already been made instead of turning out for this tired old schlockfest.
I Spit On Your Grave and Sleepaway Camp are great female vigilante films.
DeleteNothing will save "Peppermint."
ReplyDeleteAt least she gets some benefit. I’m sure she has to deal with his BS when she doesn’t have a movie coming out too.
ReplyDeleteThere is a crazy Jenn hater that goes by Bambi
ReplyDelete
ReplyDelete@Amartel That's malarkey. Affleck is not 'helpless'. HE's cheating; it's not Jennifer's job to take him anywhere. Let his new girlfriend drive him to rehab.
No matter what anyone thinks of Garner, who the hell else is going to schlepp his ass to rehab, stopping by way of some heavy carbs to soak up the morning fifth of scotch?
ReplyDeleteNo one.
Certainly not his bimbo of the moment.
Certainly not Damon who is currently in hiding (after making some stupid remarks about Weinstein.)
Certainly not his parents or brother who vanish the minute Ben has his own issues.
So Jen it is until the kids are old enough to drag him in themselves.
Ben doesn't need a bimbo; he needs a 24/7 nurse/helpmate/monitor. Look in the makeup department next time, I guess.
