The press tour for the upcoming sequel Avengers: Age of Ultron is grabbing a lot of attention ahead of the film’s North American release, just not the good kind of attention.
The latest public relations flub came Friday in the form of what some have deemed a racist statement made by leading man Robert Downey Jr.
After storming out of an interview earlier this week with Britain’s Channel 4 News, the legendary actor sat down to again discuss the film, where he made a remark about Oscar-winning Birdman director Alejandro Gonzalez Iñárritu.
The Mexican director has been critical of superhero films in the past, even telling Deadline last October he considers them “cultural genocide.”
“The way they apply violence to it, it’s absolutely right-wing,” he told the entertainment industry news outlet. “If you observe the mentality of most of those films, it’s really about people who are rich, who have power, who will do the good, who will kill the bad. Philosophically, I just don’t like them.”

I thought he was a Hollyweird liberal. That breed will eat their own. (See the case of Scarlett Johanssen and Soda Stream.)
On a purely shallow note, Robert is looking pretty good these days.
When he got off of drugs, he became much more conservative.
Alejandro Gonzalez Iñárritu thinks it's bad when the good kill the bad?
So then, the good are bad? And then doesn't that make them good again?...
And so on.
And so forth.
He's so philosophical.
Who gives a crap whether he did or not?
Amen, brother. Downey was exceptionally self restrained. I would have put a choke hold on that smarmy little fool.
I must agree.
This thread is useless without pics!!
LOL!! Just had to throw that in there....
Downey is perfectly casted as Tony Stark.
You're so right! We ladies have eyes, too...
Alejandro can go back to directing Mexican telenovelas then. I propose no one see any of his movies and we’ll see how he likes not getting any more gigs.
He’s a cutie-pie.

See the video at the link in that thread.
Definitely!
He’s getting better as he gets older, which is always a sign of the right sort of men.
Of course the liberal press is going to go after Downey Jr.
He is an unapologetic friend of Mel Gibson.
They hate him.
"Who gave this son of a bitch his green card?"
You don't remember? Neither do I. Because Penn and Inarritu are "long time friends" so the media ignored it. Of course, all the other Mexicans he may have offended don't matter.
I don’t like putting money in the director’s pocket, but I’m gonna have to see the movie to support Mr. Downey.
It will be a weekly event now.
“And he hardly beats his women at all, and his siestas are pretty short too!”
lol
And I thank you for that!
