The Greatest Movie Of Our Time opened wide on this date in 2011, mystifying the world as to why it was a big-screen film and not a Lifetime TV movie -- a reaction I also apparently had the first time around, when I[ fugged the hell out of the fromage](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/fug-the-fromage-country-strong-06-2011/). *Country Strong* is so bad, and you should watch it immediately. It's almost amazing that it's real. I remember thinking, "Gwyneth is trying SO hard that I think she secretly cannot believe her career has come to this already." And indeed, in retrospect things were never the same. She did have Soderbergh's *Contagion* right afterward, but the timing suggests it was shot before *Country Strong* was released, and the only reason I recall that movie at all right now is because of the current pandemic. Then in 2012 she did a flick called *Thanks For Sharing* about sex addicts that nobody remembers, and then her last film role -- because I don't count her brief and often meaningless recurrences in the Marvel Cinematic Universe -- her last film role came in 2014 in... wait for it... *Mortdecai.* And that's it. Did *Country Strong* kill her movie career? Was Gwyneth the bird, and *Country Strong* was the box?!?
