WTF: Marion Cotillard is a Certified French Nutjob!
Posted by Kevin Carr (kevin@filmschoolrejects.com) on March 5, 2008
So here I was, surfing the net in the wee hours of the morning, and what do I see? Another celebrity making an ass out of herself.
Now, a celebrity saying something stupid is nothing new. Hell, we get that all the time. And to have a Best Actress Oscar winner say something moronic is also par for the course. We all remember Sally Field’s infamous, “You like me! You really, really like me!”
But what Marion Cotillard said has simply left me saying… What the fuck?
A year ago, Cotillard was on French television talking about a number of things. With her biggest claim to American fame being the romantic interest in the colossal flop A Good Year, she wasn’t even on our radar then, so when she chimed in about 9/11, few took notice.
As the translation goes: “We see other towers of the same kind being hit by planes, are they burned? There was a tower, I believe it was in Spain, which burned for 24 hours. It never collapsed. None of these towers collapsed. And there [New York], in a few minutes, the whole thing collapsed.”
Cotillard didn’t just put her foot in her mouth. She put her whole leg in there. Her theory is that the towers were sucking the money out of the city, so they were taken down by the U.S. and blamed on terrorists because Americans wanted to save money.
What the double fuck?
Who let this girl out of her cage? But wait… there’s more… are you ready for the what-the-triple-fuck, folks?
Cotillard also suggested in the same interview that the moon landing was fake. Her quote: “Did a man really walk on the moon? I saw plenty of documentaries on it, and I really wondered. And in any case I don’t believe all they tell me, that’s for sure.”
Wow. To quote Cotillard from her orgasmic Oscar blather: “I’m speechless.”

Wow.. How many times a week does she listen to Coast To Coast AM?

well, to be honest: i don’t care what her opionion is, but i’m fond of celebs who blatantly
share their point of view, no matter what. this is what happens before agents take control of
the conversation.
on a side note: i’m neither french nor american but i think it’s kinda inappropriate to raise
the nationality flag here, given the fact that a not so insignificant percentage of americans
would agree with her statements.

Just another pretty face idiot. I bet her dream is to play “Jean D’ Arc - the Sean Penn version”.

Give this woman her own reality show, sorta like Mythbusters! Topics she could discuss include the Kennedy assasination, how Dinosaurs became extinct, what happened to Atlantis, and global warming. And for no apparant reason, in the background of the set would be a mime holding a red balloon standing next to a giant cardboard cut out of Jean Reno. You could call it “The Marion Cotillard is a Certified French Nutjob Variety Hour.”
Hell, I’d watch.

It’s amazing how you can mock her for simply believing something different than you. I guess we should all be good little automatons and just accept everything anybody has ever told us.
I find it amusing that you can’t even entertain the notion that what she was saying might be true.
There are numerous unanswered questions surrounding 9/11 and if you can’t see that, then maybe you should spend less time watching movies.
Fact: We haven’t returned to the moon in almost 40 years. That seem strange at all, to you?
But all of this is irrelevant. Life is subjective, history is bullsh*t, and your opinion doesn’t amount to anything remotely close to being worthwhile.
Don’t feel bad, though.
Neither does mine.

One more thought. You call Ms. Cotillard a certified nutjob? I’m willing to bet that you’ve never had word one with her so your opinion regarding her mental acumen is about as useful as an umbrella in a hurricane.
I hate to break it to you but this isn’t Med School Rejects.
Stick to what you know. (or at least, what you think you know)

The operative word here is “translation.” If you or your other posters aren’t fluent in Parisian French and haven’t seen the video yourselves, you have NO IDEA what Marion Cotillard said or didn’t say. It’s poor form to blast someone without having real facts to work with. And it’s even worse for you to help pass this tawdry story around. This is what people do in high school — start rumors and then back off and watch the fun as someone gets really hurt. If you care about fair play, you’ll shut this part of your blog down and stop repeating gossip. It just makes you look bad. Certainly it destroys your credibility as a wannabe entertainment commentator.
