OlderMoviegoers Avoid Angelina Jolie?
Not likely but The Gallup Organization, a supposedly widely recognized barometer of American opinion (I’ve never heard of it), recently conducted a survey asking Americans “whether or not they make a special effort to see movies starring 13 different Hollywood A-listers.”
Americans gave Tom Cruise a giant “thumbs down” clocking in at 34 percent. Angelina Jolie came in at a distant second, with 18 percent of Americans saying they avoid seeing her movies. That’s 180 out of 1003 votes.
Who received the most positive reaction of any of the stars in the poll? Tom Hanks! Two of his most recent films include The Da Vinci Code and The Terminal.
Pictures include Angelina Jolie recently leaving her NYC midtown hotel (supposedly The Regency Hotel at Park and 61st).

Well the people who have never heard of Gallup are idiots. It is the gold standard of research institutions. They are very highly regarded by a number of industries and very much on the up and up. Doesn’t suprise me one bit. You all may worship her, but she grates on a lot of people’s nerves.

Wow! You know she’s really got a lot of power to be able to get enough reactions out of people that she can get on their nerves. Now, if people were just indiffent to her, it would be another story because indifference is worse.
Sometimes these polls are meaningless and biased. It’s only 1003 and where did they get the samplings and how was the question being asked ? The sampling might comprised the ” minivan” majority. TC not likable but most of his movie still hit the 100 million margin , how many actor can achieved this? Angie ’s MMsmith make 500 million globally, Mel’s and Cameron Diaz film were the No.1 and 2 spot in this weekend. I think Reese , the new American Sweetheart came on the no. 4 spot behind Mel Gibson in the least like actors. Reese ??? who had several hit films and the second highest paid actress in HW. These poll is really ridiculous and BS

you know you’re D-list when… you have a new yoga video out and you have to allude to your break up from 2 years ago to get people reading.

You know you’re D-list…when you need a gay man to pretend to date and Tom Cruise turns you down…but Vince Vaughn says yes.

fascinating. shes all I and MY. what about WE and OUR?
When you look at the thousands of personality assessments out there, you will find that most talk about a Dominant personality. This is a take charge type of person, the type of person that you want around when there is a fire, because they will make sure that the fire gets put out. They speak in terms of I, My, etc. Oprah is like that as well. CEO’s are like that, in general. People who speak in terms of We and our are High I people. They are Influencers and care what others think about them. Angelina is probably a Dominant personality, ya think?
There’s nothing wrong with that. The world needs dominant types just as much as it needs Influencer types. It doesn’t mean anything except that it triggers something in you, which doesn’t mean anything either.

Wo you are really trying to read into ever single word that she says. Why? I guess you skipped over this part, ehe?
“I carefully plan my holidays or where we go or where we stay or things like that to try to ensure some quality of life that’s private and nice for the kids,” she said. “We simply don’t let it affect us.”
I have to say, I’m surprised it’s only 18%. Right or wrong - nearly all of the women I work with say they will never pay to see another Angelina Jolie movie. Maybe it’s because I work at a very liberal, feminist company in Manhattan. I really don’t know.
What actually shocks me more is so many people have never heard of the Gallup Organization.

You obviously have a bias against Angelina, which explains why you misinterpret what she says…
she says other people have offered to take her kids places like disneyland because they assume it would be too difficult for her to do(cause a riot) and she naturally says that upsets her because she wants to do those things for her kids. That is why she says they are figuring out ways for THEM to do these type of things. She doesnt want them to miss out on normal life… I think that is great that they arent letting their fame stand in their kids way of enjoying normal things.

You know your D-List when you have to be a beard for your hairdresser and his new boy toy Vince Vaughn.
You know your D-List when you’d consider doing a Friends reunion, when even your audience doesn’t remember why they liked the show anymore.
You know you’re D-List when people are more concerned with Norman’s well being.

So, my writing is like a horse’s ass?
My writing may not be pulitzer material, but then I never claimed it to be.
Woe to he who is ignorant, he resorts to name calling and profanity.
Way to go Angelina - live your life as you see fit not as your critics want. So far, you are doing a fabulous job.
hmmmmmm ritzygal for sure
Look it - Angelina is a sweet person. She loves her children. She loves Brad. She loves making a difference on the planet and helping the less fortunate. She is amazingly beautiful, talented and rich. She is “married” to the sexiest man on the planet who also is sweet, talented, loves her and is rich.
It’s got to be hard for a lot of people to relate so they pick on AJ and Brad and tear apart anything they say or do because they feel so insecure about themselves.
I, for one, love who they are, what they do. I can imagine being them. In fact, when I watch their movies, I’m Angelina in the movie!!! Or, if Brad’s in the movie, then I’m his love interest. Man, that totally rocks!!
Ed;
At least you didn’t disagree that you are a horse’s ass. Good to know.
It’s not called “Babysitting” it is called “Parenting!” They share their time with their children that is important. Their children are their greatest joy.
If the Paps. leave them alone then she will take her kids to Disneyland and Trick or Treating.
Hannah… LOL i dont believe a word you have written but it was good for a laugh
and so what if this is from the gallup poll… it doesnt mean very much if it is taken from only 1003 people

Hey, you just read my mind. That’s what I was thinking. The way she’s questioning Angie is the same way ritzygal does it, with the same type of wordings.

But the question is, did they go to see her movies before Brad? I bet if you asked them, the answer would be NO. I dare you to go and ask them that and honestly bring us back the answer.
Ok BAMZSers, lovers and haters, got to go. Enjoyed the posts. Drama, drama :)
This will be a great week for seeing and hearing about Mr & Mrs Smith.

The Case For Angelina Jolie
Okay, the first thing we have to acknowledge is that the existence of Angelina Jolie has saved us all countless hours of our lives, if only because she definitively eliminates the need to debate the question: who is the sexiest woman alive? Or most beautiful, hottest, most alluring, what have you.
Sure, the Maxims and the Peoples and the VH1s will still carry on this now pointless argument, throwing out their Eva Longorias (what?), Jennifer Lopezes (who?) and Julia Robertses (yeah, right!), as though this topic were still open for discussion. But, really, case closed. Arguing for the supreme sexiness of Eva Longoria in the lifetime of Angelina Jolie is like being a vociferous creationist on the day that a particularly sharp monkey uses an abacus, writes a sonnet, and finally masters the nuances of written Latin. In other words, a tough position.
Because Angelina Jolie is not sexy, exactly; she’s more like what an alien race might concoct from scratch, based on some half-garbled idea of earthly sexiness. But, being an alien race, and not really understanding the usual limitations of humanity, they go a little overboard: the lips, the curves, the smoldering glance. Like, nice try, alien race, but let’s get real.
Why would I lie about that? I like Angie. I couldn’t care less if people in my office would see her movie or not.
1003 is actually a very high number of people to poll and definitely statistically significant.
jared…you know I love you. If it weren’t for you I wouldn’t have my Prison Break obsession. But man, the Gallup poll is like really famous and for you to say that you have never heard of it doesn’t do much for your credibility. Just sayin…
To observer2:
I also see that you had to look up the meaning of BMI.
