Hey AG, I haven’t see Syriana, but I have seen Crash and I love that movie. I can’t wait for 11/10 to see Babel

=======================
I have both Syriana and Crash, for some reason, I just did not really enjoy Syriana that much, just could not get into it. But I did really like crash. Great movie, although very sad in some parts.

Hey thanks for telling us about the close up. Here is some comments from WWTDD , on those pics of X hiding behind that water bottle in her car recently, “Oh hey look there’s Jennifer Aniston driving out of the…” (Aniston places the clear water bottle over her face) “ … OH MY GOD SHES GONE! SHE DISAPPEARED! WHERE DID SHE GO!?! DID SHE FALL OUT OF THE CAR!?! AND NOW THE CAR IS DRIVING ITSELF! IT’S A GHOST CAR!”

Is this really Aniston’s plan to hide? Holding up a bottle of water? She might as hide behind a “Friends” DVD or hold up a magazine with Jennifer Aniston on the cover. I’d hide my face too if I looked like that but she needs to do better than this. She might as well duck behind a window or crouch and hide behind a shoe. Fantastic job Jen. You’re a master of disguise. You should work for the CIA or something. With your cunning, and enough water bottles, you could infiltrate the Taliban and save the world.

AG, I just finished reading the last thread, you were on a roll yesterday. So you have just as much disdain for Oprah like I do.

I know she is doing wonderful things in Africa, and every little bit helps. But she does not show any empathy for the people. I guess my dislike of her started a few years ago when she did this 2 hour show on ABC, all through the program, she talked about how these aids orphans pulled at her strings, and how they were her children and she was considering adopting them. Right at the end of the program, before she said she decided not to adopt because she is not cut out for motherhood. Yes, I can respect that. But with Oprah’s wealth and fame, the doors that could have been opened to those children would have been unimaginable.

One of the worst problems with African countries is corrupt leaders who are propped up by the West. When people graduate from college, there is no employment, most of them end up migrating abroad in search of better life thereby causing more brain drain. Who is going to build up these countries if they are losing their most educated and talented to the West?

One of the few leaders who actually had the right idea was Jerry Rawlings of Ghana. He came in and basically got rid of most of the corrupt leaders, but Jerry’s mom was Irish and he spent some time there growing up.
The new Liberian President is a product of Havard Education with conntacts in IMF. These exposures and contacts make their jobs of rebuilding easier.
Why applaud Angie and Brad is they are giving these children access to very good education, access to the powers that be worldwide, that should they decide to go back and help their own people, they have all the tools and contacts that will need to succeed. Oprah with jer money could have done that, she could have all the nannies that she needs.

The trading practices are so heavily against the African countries. I saw on CNN where Ethiopia is locked on some kind of Battle with star bucks over coffee beans. Starbucks pays pennies per lb of coffee but we pay 2-$3 for a cup of coffee. African countries cannot make decent money on their exports to the west, most of the markets are closed to them any way. So African problem is multi dimensional, every little bit helps but I am a firm believer in the adage that said give a man a fish and you feed him for a day but teach a man how to fish,you feed him for life.

28 | African Girl | - :lol:, AG, I know I know, you know how much I adore GC, *bowing my head in shame*and I am so sorry that I haven’t seen it, but I promise I will rent it this weekend, and hey you can’t rethink our friendship, we have a special bond and GC cannot be allow to break it :lol:, and you know how much I want to be a bridemaid at you and GC’s wedding, but I thought that the wedding was off; anyway I will be redeeming myself my watching Syriana this weekend and I know that he gave a fantastic performance in Syriana, after all he is the man :)

From Jossip:

Gwyneth Paltrow calls Brad Pitt’s Babel performance the best ever, though our vote goes to his acting during the last of the Jennifer Aniston era.

Yes AG, I got the new batteries…THANK YOU :)

You’ve got to see Syriana Alex, AG’s ex-fiance is awesome in it, eventhough he has to gain 30 pounds to get the Oscar. :lol: ( *whisper*-I think that was the 30 pounds straw that broke AG’s back, LOL).

32 | African Girl | - :) okay, it was a good movie, for I have seen the preview and the reviews, and GC was great and did win that OSCAR, but you know that you especially loved it because gorgeous and hunky GC was in it, come on admit girl :lol:

I think it is sweet that AG is encouraging her friends to see her ex’s movies. I am sure she isnt doing it for any PR reason or in hopes to win GC back at all!!
