Cate Blanchett on Brad Pitt

Cate Blanchett on Brad Pitt

“It was great to have Brad there, to have that buoyancy. Brad’s open and funny, and he makes me laugh. He makes me think about the style of a film in a way I hadn’t thought about it before. He asks questions about the script that I wouldn’t even conceive of asking. He’s a very aesthetic being, and I’m probably quite an emotional being. So for me, selfishly, he brings that out in me.” — Cate Blanchett on working with Brad Pitt on their film Babel

Does anyone know where I can find this documentary produced by Angie? Its the one where she had people with video cameras, positioned in different countries- each filming 3 minutes. Angie has mentioned it in interviews, so has Anne Hathaway and Ryan Gosling. Ryan talks about his experience in a 2005 interview.

MM How did you get involved with the documentary about Sudan?

RG I went to the premiere for Hotel Rwanda. Angelina Jolie was there, and she gave this speech about Darfur. At the after-party I went up to her and asked her to educate me. She asked me if I wanted to go. I would have said yes to anything she said – I was kind of hypnotized. Two weeks later I got this call to get some vaccines because I was going to Africa. So I went and shot a little piece of a documentary for her. She sent different teams to different places all over the world., and we all filmed three minutes at exactly the same time wherever we were.

MM What did you see over there?

RG It was a heart-wrenching, mind-bending, soul-twisting experience. I wasn’t prepared at all. We drove eight ours into the middle of the desert, and we went to these camps. There had been four murders on the road we were traveling four days before. We had to take an eight-hour detour to be safe.

In the first camp, there were like 60,000 people. They get not-so-clean water once a day and som rations. They have these old World War II hand-me-down tents to live in. They end up there because groups hired by the government come in and burn their villages. They come on horseback or on camel and kill all the men and stay for a week and rape the women, even little girls who are like 10 years old. And then when it’s all over, they take all the livestock for the government. Last check, close to a million people were murdered in a year.

I was talking to kids and saying, “What do you want most?” Some kid said to me, “Can you tell the American government to come and help us get our villages back?” What do you say to that? I went with a friend who was in the Gulf War. When we came back, he kind of went crazy. We were ready to do some extreme stuff. But then we decided to do something productive that wouldn’t hurt the cause. So we’re trying to put together this website called http://www.rawaid.com to help refugees around the world.

Just for you Jen Jen Fans:

As for the media’s ongoing interest in his breakup, Pitt just,wishes it would subside. “That one keeps getting brought up, and it’s been two years,” he says, shaking his head. “I don’t know that anymore. I have this new thing going now and we’re trying to …. That one was no different than any other two people together. I don’t know why that one still gets brought up.”
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Don’t want to contradict you, but that was Brad referring to the Paltrow break up, not his breakup with Aniston.

+++++++++++++

Yeah, he was talking about Gwyneth.. his new thing was Jen

PT, AG, Estelle,Alex - check your email, it is funny….

OK I am dancing to this now :lol:

Hey Alex, like you… that’s news to me. It would be good if she is. Where did that little bit of titbit orginated? Hmmm…I wonder what she is up to now (lol)!

big Fan = Marla Z
Note the passive aggressive tone of oh I’m so worried about Angie’s children and the young girls. Angie’s kids are fine and other mother watch their own kids. Sheesh!

yeah…lol wonder what the h*ll he thinks about now..?? his “new thing” is now his old thing and still people cant get over it. At least there wasnt all that hate before, but those Jawnifer Aniston fans are some sickos.

btw, I read that Jen doesnt really have a big chin.. it is actually her jaw that is huge.. the whole bottom of her face juts out. hence the name Jawnifer is more accurate than Chinnifer.

MSNBC touched on Gwyneth’s interview… it barely took up two minutes. I don’t know whether to be mad, because they completely glossed over this and gave her a pass or glad, because she lacked such relevance that they couldn’t be bothered to care enough to delve into this.

Angie "mouth" @ 12/03/2006 at 3:56 pm

I think this is a great video. The opening was the interview that I love where 2 kids interviewed Angie about Sharktale and commented on her “big mouth ” :) Very cute .. and the video is very nice ..it’s been watch over 167,000 times wow!

I still think that interview is old… I think it is just a compilation of some old interviews she gave bcecause they are word for word the same..

Im not defending her but i think it is lazy journalism to pass this off as new. Either that.. or Paltrow needs new material.

the girl who played kelly in Married with Children turned him down when he tried to ride her coattails when she was big

ROTFLMAO! THESE ARE THE TWO DUMBEST COMMENTS EVER MADE BY A FANISTON!

You need to check your facts, loser - Neither Juliette Lewis nor Gwyneth Paltrow were “at the peak of their careers” when they started dating Brad. Both of them were just starting out. As a matter of fact, Brad was the star when he met Gwyneth, so now you look doubly stoo-pid. That Christina Applegate comment isn’t even worth talking about. You obviously don’t understand that she was nobody even when she was somebody.

Now let’s talk about X - We’ll use a paper/scissors/rock analogy so your poor undernourished brain can process the info and come up with the right answer - X was a tv actress, Brad was a MOVIE STAR. “Movie Star” is Scissors. “TV actress” is paper. Scissors cut paper…just like Brad cut X out of his life.

lurker24,me too! i want x to get pregnant!

TeeHEE… AMAYA! They were all looking. roflmao Rummie handing in his “sash” and the warning music that always comes before him. 8-) And you just KNOW Jon is taking care of his gang, dousing Bill’s roach and wrapping it so no one finds it. And Stephen, his lil helper, spraying the scent off Bill. Ya know, I read a column on Huffington Post the other day, satirically chiding Olbermann for picking on the “retarded” O’Really (sic). The author explained that it’s not nice to pick on the retarded, and that’s OBVIOUSLY what BillO is. :roll: :lol:

Thanks for the Angelina Painting! That was incredibly cool to watch!

Bibi, I don’t know where that little tidbit came from, but it would not surprise me at all if it came from the X camp, the ***** is up to something, she wants attention to be on her, after all we had the released of Babel, coming up is Brad’s birthday, the opening of the TGS, award season is right around the corner and all attention are focus on Brad and Angie, and the ***** needs to do something for the world to focus on her, and what better way to do that than start a rumor that she is pregnant, oh how I can’t stand that woman

I’m glad you liked it. Even though this is the silliest story that I’ve ever written you just know that they would be checking out Angie’s behind if they had the chance. And them getting Billy Maher all cleaned up, it’s so routine for them. My favorite part is that Angie out ran all of them LOL

I read that O’Reilly thing on huffpo too! It was great.:lol:

Aesthetic being eh??

What is he really that superficial?

Observer2 @ 12/03/2006 at 4:36 pm

What the hell does them being white have to do with anything?

Just because you choose to judge by color, doesn’t mean anyone else does.

Yep, it is Mental Midget day. Welcome to your club rainbow brite. Welcome to your club.

So the LA times don’t think Brad will win the oscar. Ah, I thought he was the front runner for Best Supporting Actor. And I’m sorry but I don’t think Jack Nicholson gave a oscar worthy performance in the Departed.
+++++++++++

Personally I never think Nicholson is Oscar-worthy. He’s such a big ham in everything. I’ve gotten to the point where I think it’s just a knee-jerk response to nominate him for any movie he’s in that’s not a flat-out dog.

Sorry Original Curious. Obviously you know angelina better than I do and have strong feelings for her. I don’t mean to offend her. She is an amazing woman. I have a pet peeve about people who are too thin in with her status and exposure. I cant help but be a big fan of young impressionable women too. I read a quote in a magazine interview with angelina when she says she was visiting a friend in the hospital and she wished she could hook the IV up to her own arm. I felt she was saying she wasnt eating enough and had a problem. But its my interpretation. it was around 2000 and she was much thinner around that time if thats possible.
Laura dern said Billy bob was engaged with her and one day she came home from a trip and found billy moved out on her and in with angie. that and jennifer aniston’s saying that she “chooses ” to believe that brad didnt cheat on her…those interviews made me think that its possible that angie cheated with the men behind the backs of their significant others but maybe they just ended the relationships to date her first.

^^

OMG, I remember you from the old format! This part is almost word for word your…… “I have a pet peeve about people who are too thin in with her status and exposure. I cant help but be a big fan of young impressionable women too. I read a quote in a magazine interview with angelina when she says she was visiting a friend in the hospital and she wished she could hook the IV up to her own arm. I felt she was saying she wasnt eating enough and had a problem. But its my interpretation. it was around 2000 and she was much thinner around that time if thats possible.”

I’m going to remember your name from then if it kills me. Anyone else remember the person hung up on Angie’s bod and the accusations? AND then they tossed in the “cheating” reasons as well?

Btw, I’m SO glad I saved this lil something something for occasions like this:

“The “poor Laura Dern” swill has been going on for yrs and I’m so sick & tired of hearing about how evil Angelina stole her “fiance” while no one ever bothers mentioning the fact that Miss Dern took up with Billy Bob while he was actually married, and then did it again with Ben Harper. Isn’t it interesting how Miss Dern became quiet as a church mouse about Angelina Jolie stealing her “fiance” when the spotlight turned on her and BBT’s past, and her affair with Ben Harper? Also, all those rumors about Ethan Hawke & Angelina Jolie. Everyone remembers the unfounded rumors, but no one remembers that it was actually a 20 something FreCan model Jen Perzow that brokeup he and Uma Thurmans marriage. OR! how about Kelly Minogues(s) BF Oliver Martinez? Come to find out that it was HE hitting on Angelina and not the other way around. It’s so amazing how some women are so willing to believe unfounded rumors about certain females, and how they still refuse to give an inch when the truth about the situation reveals that the female was innocent. I will never get that one. Anyway, thanks. Even if it falls on deaf ears, I still thank you for putting it out there.”

Another one:

“Keep Angelina out of that club. You need to read up on Miss Dern, and her big croc tears shed about AJ running off with her “fiance.” She wasn’t married to the man, but awfully funny that Billy Bob WAS married when he and Laura Dern hooked up, and not only that. Her present husband was not only married to someone else when she met him, but she bore him a child 5 months before Ben Harper’s divorce was final.”
