HEY ,GUYS there is a new thread on BP & AJ +Brad shirtless old.

Tucson, Arizona | Published: 04.20.2006Quote from review:“Take the TV show "Friends," subtract the terrible writing, commercial breaks and all the irritating actors — read, everyone BUT Jennifer Aniston — then add lots of money. What do you get? "Friends With Money." Aniston continues to shine in her post-sitcom film career, offsetting her noirish turn last year in the underseen thriller "Derailed" with a new dialogue-driven dramedy. The farther she roams from the ever-perky, paper-thin Rachel character, the better. And it’s tough to find more of an anti-Rachel than laconic housemaid Olivia, a pothead who is unlucky in love and preternaturally self-destructive.

Honestly I don’t care if Jennifer A’s movies get good reviews or not. I’m at the point where I can’t stand to look at her face. Now Brad Pitt’s face is a different story. I could watch him all day and all night long. Angie is the luckiest woman in the world.

Excertp From Rolling StonePETER TRAVERS Yes, that is Jennifer Aniston tarted up as a sexual fantasy: the ooh-la-la French maid clutching a phallic vacuum hose so her boyfriend can get off when she bends over. No, Friends With Money is not that kind of movie. Far from it. The keenly observant writer and director Nicole Holofcener isn’t about to settle for giving jocks their jollies. She’s interested in the shifting dynamics among real women. Listen up, guys, you might learn something. ……In Holofcener’s 1996 debut feature, Walking and Talking, the threat to female closeness is impending marriage. In 2002’s Lovely and Amazing, the issue among sisters is body image. And now, in Friends With Money, the obstacle comes in the form of wealth. Olivia (Aniston), Franny (Joan Cusack), Jane (Frances McDormand) and Christine (Catherine Keener) have been friends since forever. Now Olivia is feeling isolated. It’s not just that she’s single and her three pals are married (that she can deal with) — it’s that she’s cleaning houses for sixty-five dollars a scrub, and her friends are filthy stinking rich. ……It turns out money is a hell of a subject for a movie, especially one rendered with decidedly un-Hollywood nuance and intimacy. Smart, witty and alert to the buried resentments that poke through the shiny surface of affluence, Holofcener’s film recognizes that money is the new sex. Buying your kid the right kind of shoes, the expensive kind, is better than an ******. The main characters, all living large in Los Angeles, are a bit ashamed of how much they’ve got. Rub it in people’s faces and they’ll think you’re a *****. ……..IT’S A KICK TO SEE ANISTON CUT LOOSE and break her big-screen losing streak (Rumor Has It, Derailed, Along Came Polly). As Olivia, she gets to show off her gift for giving a character shades of light and dark, recalling how strong she was in The Good Girl and The Object of My Affection. Aniston has a friend indeed in Holofcener, who lets her mix it up with a seasoned ensemble cast. Except for McBurney, the men don’t have much to chew on. But the film is a field day for actresses. And their teamwork is a thing of beauty. When the film premiered at Sundance in January, nit-pickers wanted more narrative drive and clear-cut motivations. Know what? For lots of back story and no loose ends, watch TV. For a movie rich in hilarity, heartbreak and a sense of life in all its

FYI:OFF TOPICHow you can help with the situation in Darfur:Dining for DarfurPlease join us in Dining for Darfur on Sunday April 30th, as New Yorkers come together to make a difference and dine against genocide. Dining for Darfur is a charity Dine Out that will raise funds for humanitarian relief work in the war-ravaged state of Darfur. The fundraiser is organized by food writer Andrea Strong and will take place at restaurants around New York City (and beyond) on Sunday April 30th, coinciding with the Save Darfur rally in Washington DC.Participating restaurants have agreed to donate 5% of their gross sales for the evening of Sunday April 30th to the International Rescue Committee’s humanitarian relief efforts in Darfur and in the refugee camps in Chad. The Situation in Darfur Not since the Rwanda genocide of 1994 has the world seen such a calculated campaign of slaughter, rape, starvation and displacement. Government-backed militias, known collectively as the Janjaweed, are systematically eliminating entire communities of African tribal farmers. Villages are being razed, women and girls are being gang-raped and branded, men and boys are being slaughtered, and food and water supplies targeted and destroyed. It is estimated that 400,000 people have already been killed in this genocide and that 2.5 million people have been displaced. The murders continue daily.Link:http://diningfordarfur.org/:

you’re welcome.

Isn’t it somewhat ironic that JA wanted her career before the baby and now it is Brad who’s career is blooming,not hers? He’s got family AND career. She has no career and no family. I think Brad is delivering a message to her on that. Saying you could have had both, career and family. Now you’ve got nothing.I think his movies are going to be successful, they do look like quality movies worth seeing unlike JA’s. I stopped going to see her movies after the last one Rumor Has It, and I don’t think I want to see any of her movies.Now I know a good movie, and I never considered Brad to be a good actor. Maybe because he chose wrong movies, bad choices but now my intuition tells me he’s finally doing quality movies and showing his full potential. I think we might see him win an Academy Award some day. I wonder what will JA say then. If I were her, I’d leave the country full of shame…

# 132 | Binger I’m not a JA fan, but in all honesty FWM isn’t doing as bad as some believe. Keep in mind that it’s an independent flick, and although it started out on a very limited number of screens, it’s picked up a bit of momentium, and has actually been moving up in the polls. I think it’s actually going to make a little money, and at least break even. jpf

# 111 | malibumom I think the best place to find multiple reviews is Rottentomatoes.com. Here’s the link for "Friends With Money" - http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/friends_with_money/ . It’s getting decent reviews for the most part - 114 total reviews - 77 fresh, 37 rotten.

Be careful with making JA into an object of pity or bashing. Maybe we should just leave her alone. Brad may be the type that will sympathize with his ex to the point where he takes up the knight in shining armor syndrome. He feels for underdogs so he might champion her cause and that could cause complications in his relationship with AJ. No matter what’s happened between them, they were married once and he had an affection for her. He would certainly feel guilt if JA does something stupid because of all the attention and the slow faltering of her career. JA may not want to stay in Malibu where she could run into the couple anytime once they come back so she is setting up shop in Chicago. It’s not only close to her BFF Oprah but where her sweetheart VV lives. Reckon she feels safe with them there. But even if she does and she still gets hounded by the paps and bombarded by the news about the happy couple, she could still break. The reason I feel sorry for her is with all that money, it still can’t seem to buy her happiness right now. She will need to insulate herself really well for when BP and family return to the US.

# 145 | maThe story’s been set in New Orleans, allowing the studios to take advantage of Louisiana’s production incentives. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button——————-I am excited about this news. It seems the movie is interesting plus it gets to be filmed in New Orleans. It is really very nice of Brad to have agreed to film in New Orleans. I hope it will jumpstart the interest for NO and eventually bring back this once beautiful city to where it once belonged (pre-Katrina days).

Brad and Angelina have their individual past and baggages. They have been together for over a year now and making the most out of their life with their children and their humanitarian causes. I for one would rather not discuss their past history with others since they are now very happy and awaiting their third child. We all learn from the past and we move forward and live today and do the best we can to make it worthwhile so that we can look forward to a bright future.
