Brad Pitt's Bike Ride

hh

I HAVE TO CONFESS I am jealous of Angelina Jolie. She is beautiful. she has Brad and they are both rich. I do have a husband and family so I am happy, but gosh I am such a nobody…lol…hey you guys, quit sayong Jennifer is almost 40, I am 42, Brads age, I have 3 kids and I am aging well. I am Angies height and shape 9minus the boobs and beauty ( hehe) and when my kids popped out my belly just went back in to place like hers will. Once she has this baby you wont even know she was pregnant,

It became favourite in many eyes to win the top prize in the competition, the Palme D’Or - and possibly Oscars next year.Oscar-winner Cate Blanchett and Mexican heartthrob Gael Garcia Bernal joined other members of the cast to talk about Babel, which is told in the same inter-linked storytelling style to the director’s previous films, Amores Perros and 21 Grams.For Blanchett it was not the most immediately appealing role - she spends most of the time dying in a pool of blood. During filming the crew put meat juice on her fake wound to attract flies from an empty water bottle. But she hailed the film a "masterpiece". Pitt had been due to attend but sent an email apology because of his and Angelina Jolie’s imminent arrival in Namibia.The film involves linked stories in Tokyo, Morocco and the US-Mexican border. In Japan a father cannot get through to his rebellious, deaf teenage daughter. In Morocco, Pitt is torn apart trying to save his wife (Blanchett), shot by a young boy. In the US a nanny feels compelled to take her charges from their comfortable home in San Diego to her son’s wedding over the border.In Cannes there were representatives from all three casts, including two young Moroccan boys who play central roles but had no previous acting experience. "We all just met," Bernal told journalists. "I guess we’ve talked to you more than we have to each other."Iñárritu said he chose Morocco because when he was younger he spent 15 days there with $100. "I had beautiful powerful memories." He added: "I fell in love with Japanese culture and civilisation, the mysteries, the contradiction between the futuristic and traditional."Babel is one of two Mexican films in competition - Guillermo del Toro’s El Labertino del Fauno shows on Friday - and along with the work of Alfonso Cuaron and Carlos Reygadas, Latin American filmmaking is on a high.Blanchett also confirmed that she is to appear as Bob Dylan in Todd Haynes’ unconventional biopic, I’m Not There, which begins shooting in July. Others playing the singer at different times in his career include Richard Gere, Heath Ledger, Christian Bale and Ben Wishaw.Babel joins Pedro Almodóvar’s Volver as a frontrunner for the top prize, though many have high hopes for Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette which screens today. France is awash with posters for the film that is said to give Louis XVI’s queen Diana-like qualities.On Tuesday there was also much praise for French director Bruno Dumont’s ultra-depressing Flandres, which tells the story of young French soldiers who leave their bleak lives to fight a war in an unnamed Arabic-speaking country. While the soldiers commit atrocities, the already messed-up girlfriend back home becomes an emotional wreck. Chuckles are rare and the sex scenes enough to put people off bedroom activity for life.

For the love of all that is HOLY…will you gripers stop bringing Britney Spears behind into…onto these darn BAMZ+1 bike threads! If you are so upset about Britney being flayed out about not having her child strapped into a car seat while she peels of onto what was it the Pacific Coast highway…(not sure), go to E, Access Hollywood and ET and let them know that Brad was seen tooling around with Zahara on the back of his bicycle without a helmet. Maybe they’ll give your inane gripes some air play. Jeeze, get over it! The man took his kids out for a bicycle ride in a paparazzi-free zone (or should be). While Britney took her kid out for coffee to the local starbucks, knowing that the paps were following her closely. Hmmm…

testing 1, 2, 3…is it working now?

Another canes review of Babel from ReuterBabel" a towering masterpieceWed May 24, 5:56 AM ETTense, relentless and difficult to watch at times, Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s "Babel" is an emotionally shattering drama in which a simple act of kindness leads to events that pierce our veneer of civilization and bring on the white noise of terror.Inarritu and screenwriter Guillermo Arriaga involve six families, most of them not known to one another, in four countries on three continents in their story of random fate and the perils of being unable to communicate.Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett and Gael Garcia Bernal give committed ensemble performances alongside seasoned character performers and nonactors as the story ranges from Morocco to San Diego to Tokyo.The film, which also features exceptional work by director of photography Rodrigo Prieto, production designer Brigitte Broch, editors Stephen Mirrione and Douglas Crise and composer Gustavo Santaolalla, is headed for major prizes and large, appreciative audiences.——————-I think this film is going to be like Brokeback mountain, small budget movie but with great achievement. I hope Brad could get some award in this film.

# 164 | canes review I think thins film is too muh of an ensemble cast for anyone to really outshine the other. I think this is what’s going to make this film and indie hit. Two big stars and one big up & coming one, and a talented director, but still, the film is the star in Babel. With such an international cast, they all will be nominated for GoldenGlobes, that’s for sure.

# 121 | Krissy Thanks Krissy!! That’s nice to hear that you’re mom is doing well now, let’s pray that nothing like that happens again. I saw the xtra segment but didn’t see access, do you guys know if they’ll repeat access this noon? or something?

# 134 | lylianLylian - Actually, I didn’t start the phone convos per se. Estelle suggested it and I just did one as a goof…and then they took a life of their own. As for the writing - no, that’s not me writing a book. Maybe Rica? I’ve never written fanfic or anything beyond school papers in my life and that’s why I found doing the phone convos to be hilarious.Anywho - about Agnieszka - We’ll just have to agree to disagree. I wasn’t the only person who interpreted her as being "mean" to those of us who didn’t agree with her. Several others have stated likewise. I agree that she was passionate that she was right about the pictures being fake. Passion is nice…as long as the person doesn’t become so single-minded that they refuse to allow others to their opinion. She was INSISTING that she was right and we were all wrong. Well, she ended up not only being wrong about the photos being fake but about Brad having a Mohawk, which was one of her points in proving her case. People see what they want to see. If the rest of us had been the ones in the wrong I sincerely hope that we would have had the guts to come forward and admit to being wrong and apologize trying to force others to agree with us.

# 155 | Agnieszka But…what about the non-existent Mohawk?

# 155 | Agnieszka Okay…I’m done…just needed to get that Mohawk bit off my chest….I’ll play nice now.
