Cate Blanchett on Brad Pitt
Sun, 03 December 2006 at 4:30 am
“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

babel will bomb : phis fans are fat WalMart women and expect Brad Pitt as hairsprayed pretty boy, not as a bald fat man or 50 year old guy. Brad Pitt has hit a wall. People never saw his movies for him, only a shallow projection of an image of what he thought they wanted. Thats what he pretended to be, thats what sold and now that is what they expect. The same thing happened to Stallone.

fact is you are a clueless idiot.
good morning, think positive and anuston, and any other BAMZS-ers here.
Fight the good fight, keep up the good work and the “others” need to go to an AA meeting (a$$holes anonymous)
Please, dont go to dlisted. In that site the posters are nasty with all the celebritys. Let it go. Most of the world loves the Jolie Pitts. Dlisted, FF and perez is all that is left for Aniston fans. Believe me, I’ve being reading these blogs since the very beginning of Brad and Angie love history. The hate is dying down and the number of the haters is decreased. What you have is a very small and vocal number of people very angry with life( they troll all over the net, post over different names, just to give the impression that alot of people think the same way they do.), and these people found a new hobby, hate on the JPS, But time is their worst enemy. Brad and Angie proof everybody wrong, and most people like them as a family unit. So, what I’m trying to say is don’t fuel their hate and make their hobby more funny for them. They will move to the next thing or next hobby in a while. You don’t need to show the reality for them, they know. they just don’t want to see it. We know and the word know that the JoliePitts are happy and in love.
BAD REVIEWS: “leak, edgy, hyper-real. Purposely depleted of warm colors. Pitt and Blanchett only appear intermittently (and not terribly dynamically). An art-type film in three countries.” “Unrelentingly, unremittingly sad, excruciatingly painful, all for no valid reason, Alejandro González Iñárritu’s Babel is a movie to avoid at all costs.”"If Crash drove you to distraction, then thou best stay away from Babel, this year’s towering exercise in socio-political-psycho babble.”This is one of those movies that would work better at home, where you could pause the tape when you need to take a break or fast forward when things start to slow down too much.”
GOOD REVIEWS: “Iñárritu is an exceptionally gifted director who makes each individual scene in Babel work beautifully. However, he runs into trouble as he attempts to pull all the plot strands together”"Tragedy is so overwhelming in Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s “Babel” that my anxiety increased throughout the viewing”"An amazing, disturbing drama, “Babel” is a puzzle of film that pieces itself together bit by bit.”

Hollywood Confidential
Who is Hollywood’s Most Wanted Actor? More than 50 of the industry’s top power brokers dish out the honors in an Exclusive Radar Poll
Most sought-after actor
Winner: Brad Pitt
Runner-up: Will Smith
Despite his spotty box-office track record (see Troy, Fight Club, Meet Joe Black), Pitt scored the most votes. “He’s charming, talented, handsome, and has international appeal,” says one A-list producer. Coming in a very close second is Smith, whose ability to make rain under even the worst conditions didn’t go unnoticed: “He crosses the color barrier, and audiences love him,” says a former studio prez. “I mean, you couldn’t get a movie much worse than I, Robot, and it did giant business.”

I have to disagree with you at one point. Brad has made many movies that his performances didn’t require a “pretty boy” image as you called it. Such examples are Fight Club Twelve Monkeys Snuch and Seven. Brad have shown what his abilities are and what his able to achieve in many levels. This whole image is not what Brad pretended to be it’s what the MEDIA perceived him to be. Because as you said that’s what sold. They refused to see Brad as an actor but only like a hunk. True fans of Brad are respecting him and don’t want to see him as a dry image but as a talented individual in his work. Brad has always been way more successful in the international markets. His fame is not only based in the U.S. Of course Babel won’t do as well as M&Mrs Smith did. It’s not a blockbuster. It’s an indie with subtitles. But the fact is that now Brad is getting recognition as an actor (he might get an Oscar) and he is in a movie that got excellent reviews and it’s nominated for many awards and it has won some of them already! Personally I think that’s what matters the most.

You are right about DListed. I went there one time and was reading what the people were saying about Heidi Klum and Seal’s children and it was really nasty. They are very mean to alot of celebrities.
Also, you know how Perez Hilton always posts how many people visits his site daily? Last week he had almost 4 million different people visiting daily and only very few of those people post replies in the posts. Even the ones with 400+ replies have the same people posting multiple times, sometimes changing their names. Remember even Perez who controls the board said a majority of people just read but do not post on his site.

Yes you should stick to something brainless like The Break Up.
Thanks Jared and Audrey for the new thread, oh I just love Cate B., she is awesome, and that is so sweet what she said about Brad

” he’s an aesthetic person” : Translation : ” he’s an affacted poseur, with an interest in hairspray and clothes pretending to be an architect”
—————————-
Is ‘affacted’ even a freakin word???
The luxury Brad now has since he has become mature and has more money than he can spend in a lifetime, is that he can do the movies he wants, when he wants.
He has his own production company and the clout he needs to do so. Even in his younger years he picked a few movies for the role he would play and not the money it would make. He once said that, while an Oscar would mean a lot to him, there are a lot of good actors out there that he respects, and his pretty boy image might follow him. Then he jokingly added that he did NOT want to get a Lifetime Achievement Oscar when he’s old just for hanging in so long

I know what aesthetics mean. I don’t know what TBU is.

“freakin” isn’t in the dictionary

FYI “freakin” isn’t in the dictionary.
He is a hot actor with a love for architecture and a willingness to expand his intellectual horizons beyond what he already knows-He has a love for life and is appreciative of what his hardwork has allowed him to do-You don’t cluck in a chicken costume seven days a week and work like there is no tomorrow if you are not serious about what you do-Take everything away from him, looks, family, money, fame-you still have a basically good human being left!

These are the countries (so far) where BABEL has already out-grossed The Break-UP!!!
Box office success alone doesn’t ascend an actor into prestige. Brad has b.o. hits and misses as all actors, but the fact is he CAN do artsy films gaining his credibility as a character actor. Something that a certain sitcom actress will never able to do unless maybe she goes back to an acting school. This is why it’s Brad Pitt who is the much bigger A-list movie actor. He is an all-around movie star–looks, international appeal, some box office successes, and TALENT. All of which is now tremendously enhanced by joining another all-around movie star Angie and becoming a father. With these two stars combined bursting in sexual chemistry (and parenthood!), a simple photo in a desert together, looks irresitably appealing. Cate B is a wonderful actress, but still lacks in the ‘all-around’ ness, the kind of movie-star aura Brad has. This is something someone is born with and people around have no choice but to bask in the aura. Angie got it, too, so with these two auras (!) what are we mortals do but to amire them LOL? This is why Aniston look all of the sudden very very plain sans Brad.

WHOA! it’s in URBAN DICTIONARY.
JA is at home crying. Regretting that she let Brad slip from her arm. This and next year are the years for ” Brad and Angelina.” With more movies releasing in 2007.
malibumom: you are by the ocean, go ahead and scream. You don’t know me enough to tell me what to do, do you ?
