Let’s play a little game. We’ll tell you something stupid said by a celebrity and you try to figure out who the celebrity is and just what in the hell they were talking about. Ready? Here’s a recent Q&A with a well-known actress:
“IS THERE A LONG LIST OF THINGS THAT YOU’D LIKE TO GO BACK IN TIME AND CHANGE?
[Celebrity:] The progress is that much more speedy. Every six months there is something new with technology or some revelation. Technology allows us to go back in history and figure something else out and it’s just that much more rapid because of the advancement of technology and science.”
Got a guess? Find out who today’s Celebrity Stupid is, link to the rest of the interview, and feel swell about your college education, after the jump.
Sandra Bullock is today’s Celebrity Stupid! Speaking recently to LatinoReview.com, Sandra waxes philosophic on life, love, Keanu and the Marty McFly-ization of technology in our society:
IS THERE A LONG LIST OF THINGS THAT YOU’D LIKE TO GO BACK IN TIME AND CHANGE?
Bullock: The progress is that much more speedy. Every six months there is something new with technology or some revelation. Technology allows us to go back in history and figure something else out and it’s just that much more rapid because of the advancement of technology and science.
Can we pause for a moment to say “Wha….?”
Is there an actual, coherent thought in Bullock’s answer? The progress of what is speedy? Technology allows us to go back in history? Really?
When actors and actresses do publicity for an upcoming movie, it seems more and more as though they’re compelled to sound like experts on whatever issue the film raises. The movie’s about cops? Well, let’s listen to the actor talk about their weapons training. The movie’s about asteroids? Hey, the actor’s got an opinion on our government’s anti-asteroid policy.
And, in the case of The Lake House, Sandra Bullock is expected to say something intelligent about regret and time travel - for which there is no reference material or on-set consultant - so she’s forced to make something up that, at best, comes off sounding like it’s spoken by a young, ingenue-like, kooky actress who knows exactly what it takes to become America’s sweetheart.
Hm. Maybe that answer wasn’t quite as stupid as we thought.

because clearly Cage has decided to become action/thriller cinema’s first Polish great-grandma. (
Well, that’s too bad. Back a year or so ago when I heard that they’d be making a movie out of Judi and Ron Barrett’s terrific kids’ book Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, I hoped maybe it’d be made live-action. Handled well, the idea of seeing an actual town where it rained hotdogs and baked beans in an open-roof restaurant, as well as the bit where sanitation trucks clean up all the leftover rain/snow/food and feed it to the pets would be, I thought, a bundle of CG-imbued cinema fun.

You won’t believe me but I was going to guess Sandra Bullock. No really, I was! Because she’s in that stupid new movie with Keanu Reeves about time travel and because she’s, well, stupid. But then I thought “no that’s probably not it” and then I clicked on the link and it was her. Sheesh!
