Ashes of Angie’s Mom To Be Scattered

Fri, 02 February 2007 at 8:53 am

British tabloid The Daily Mirror reports that Angelina Jolie will take Brad Pitt and her family to scatter her mom’s ashes in the Bahamas. (Marcheline Bertrand, 56, died last week from ovarian cancer.)

Their source says: “It was one of her favorite places, so Ange wants this to be special.”

Pictured: Brad Pitt leaving his Plan B production company’s offices late last night in Hollywood.

Questions & Answers about CREMATION for CATHOLICS

Cremation may be a confusing issue for Catholics. At one time, the church prohibited cremation but this is no longer the case. We’ve provided some answers to the most commonly asked questions and we hope this will be helpful in making your decision.

“Lord, for your faithful people life is changed, not ended.”

When did it become allowable for Catholics to be cremated?
In 1963, the Catholic Church lifted its prohibition forbidding Catholics to choose cremation. Canon 1176 of the 1983 Code of Canon Law states, “The Church earnestly recommends the pious custom of burying the bodies of the dead be observed, it does not however, forbid cremation unless it has been chosen for reasons which are contrary to Christian teaching.”

One of the main reasons I love JustJared is how much you learn about the subjects that come up.

Thanks, this is really interesting. I knew there were other denomations that didn’t, and don’t encourage it, but I think it’s becoming less and less an issue with them as well.

One, anything the tabloids say can hardly be belived until things happen to prove it. That’s the best I can say about tabloid’s stories.

Two, the ash rumor surprised me since I thought only the Chinese do that. I thought all Americans (at least those originally from the Western world) want to be buried when they die. And the thought of the dead body being burned is just unthinkable to them. Then, this is AJ, so maybe she doesn’t believe in anything others believe anyway, or she likes to do things in other ways than the “American” way.

Three, it is equally shocking that fans on this site began to discuss the Catholic tradition of handling dead bodies because of a tabloid story, and they are beginning to talk about how the ash thing makes sense to them because they are AJ’s fans!

This is what I love about JustJared. He deletes obnoxious posts from bloggers who cross the line, and when people point out something offensive to them or makes them very uncomfortable (like the previous title of this thread), he accommodates then and changes said offensive/uncomfortable item. And he provides all of us BAMZSers a nice, decent place to congregate at.

Hi, Isabelle II. I’m still here, just lurking … will go beddy-bye soon, because I have to get up at 6:30 p.m. to get ready to go back to work.

OMG…check out this review of AOJJ, if there are more like this, Brad is guaranteed another shot at next year’s (or 2008) award season - this is the most amazing review I’ve read…and way to go Casey! I know there are many more to come just like it - AOJJ is gonna be HUGE!!

It’s no wonder the man is oding his best work since Angie and his babies came into his life!!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!

Posted by kimber on Bradforums:

Joe Carnahan is the kick ass director of Smokin’ Aces and he’s posted this review of Jesse James on his blog. You can’t get much better than this.

THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES BY THE COWARD ROBERT FORD 02/01/2007 at 08:23 AM

Guys:

I’ve been meaning to post this for a little while and haven’t had the opportunity,
so here it is. I had the distinct privilege and pleasure of getting a sneak peek at
Andrew Dominik’s film ‘The Assassination of Jesse James by the coward Robert
Ford’ and all I can say is:

Holy Sh*t.

It’s so close to being a full-fledged masterpiece, it literally had me sitting there,
saying things like ‘Where the hell has Casey Affleck been?’ He’s a LOCK for some
sort of major acting nod. Be it Globe, Oscar, something. Nobody comes out of this
movie without viewing that guy in whole other light. Mindblowing. I’m not
bullshi*ting you guys. He’s that good. And Brad Pitt has never been better in
a film. He too, should be lauded for what he accomplishes with that role. The
guy projects a menace I’ve never seen and goes very, VERY deep.

There are moments of still and utter silence between characters as tense and awkward and terrifying as anything you’ve ever seen. Andrew’s ability to just allow a scene to develop gradually and let the audience watch and observe without the need for rampant schisms of rocket propelled editorial breaks is the mark of a true master. If you saw and loved ‘Chopper’ then I can’t imagine you not falling head over heels for this flick.

We throw words around like ‘brilliant’ and attach greatness to things that in the
end don’t really deserve that level of praise…This one DOES.

I’m hoping Warner Brothers understands what this film can be and allows Andrew’s
cut to see the light of day. At nearly three hours it’s something of such sublime,
elegaic beauty and vicious intent, that I don’t think we’ll see a film like it for a long
time to come.

JC

Here’s a reader’s review that was in the comments section of Joe’s review.

QUOTE
I went to a test screening of this film in Pasadena a few months ago and completely agree. Affleck is amazing in this film and Pitt keeps getting better with age. Sam Rockwell and Mary-Louise Parker are also great in the film.

Very little dialogue is spoken by Pitt and when the violence is unleashed, it is brutal and real. I think the cut we saw was easily three hours. What was the exact running time on the cut you saw Joe?

Shades of Terrence Malick, Sergio Leone, John Ford, Peckinpah. I was wondering what happened to this film. Glad to see Dominik is still toiling away on it. A close cousin to this film, in my opinion, is Unforgiven. Hopefully Warners will give this film the same treatment they gave Eastwood’s.

Also, the cinematography in this film is sublime and striking. Roger Deakins is one of my favorite DPs working today and his work on this film ranks with the work he did on O Brother, Where Art Thou. Actually the look of both films is very similar. Breathtaking cinematography.

There is a new video at Splashnews that’s really bad. It shows you exactly the amount of paps that are there and how rude they are. Briefly they show them at Marcheline’s hotel apartment and Brad on the balcony and then it goes to the Plan B offices and the police. They’re yelling at him and asking if Jon Voight has contacted him

He was there for hours. He went there after they cleaned up the rest of Marcheline’s things from her apt at L’Ermitage. Brad’s just keeping the paps off Angelina and working at the same time.

You said it jpf! I’ve learned a lot by lurking on this site too, part of what makes it so addictive: accounting practices for U.S. charities, rice growing, lifestyle and custom in India, climate in Namibia, etc. Dragonfly’s recent post re women and society was great.

There are a lot of knowledgeable and interesting people who post on this site. But then again, this blogsite (like the world) has the good the bad and the ugly.

Is it possible for African Girl’s “The Rules” and kk1’s “Observations on different posters” to be brought over to this site? Can someone tell me how to do it? I’d really like to print them off together for future reference.

Thanks for the review, I really hope that WB don’t screw this movie up. All the reviews have been good so far and I hope they stick with the september release (which means it may have a shot at awards seasons).

The new Splash video is an example of why Brad and Angelina will probably only return to LA when they have to for business. Hollywood is a cess pool filled with the likes you see in that video

Kind of off-topic and this post will be long.

Yesterday I watched the intro to Entertainment Tonight and I was reminded of Angie and Marcheline. Their relationship was private. She never once publicly betrayed or used her by writing a tell-all book or having a revealing interview about Angie. From the way Angie spoke of her, she sounded like a remarkable woman. Even though she wasn’t very public she clearly respected, cared for and loved her daughter.

I was reminded of them because Dina Lohan (Lindsay’s mother) actually invited ET’s cameras along when she visited Lindsay in rehab. Even though they both complain about the paparazzi there she is bringing cameras into what is supposed to be a private situation. It baffles me to see a mother acting the way that she is right now, especially her comment “I’m her mother not her keeper” This is the same woman that went out clubbing with her daughter well before she even turned 18! But she refuses to take any kind of responsibility for the way Lindsay has turned out.

This just brings me back to Drew Barrymore and her mother Jade. Today they are talking to one another but from what Drew (and her friends) has said they haven’t completely reconciled. During her youth she needed a mother but instead she got a “friend” much like Lindsay. During Drew’s come back Jade actually started competing with her. Drew posed for playboy, she went to penthouse. Then Drew went out with a rock star guy so Jade starts dating a guy that is Drew’s age! I wouldn’t be surprised of Dina and Lindsay end up the same way.

Although I’m not a parent, I can’t imagine treating my child the way that Dina and Jade have. These women have publicly exploited their children yet every decision that Angie makes as a mother is criticized and distorted by the media; it’s incredibly unfair. Personally, I think Angie is a great example of how children (adopted and biological) should be raised. I know parents who have adopted overseas yet they purposely don’t expose their children to homeland’s history and culture like Angie and Brad do. To block out the child’s heritage and history…it’s denying who he or she is as a person..and it’s admirable that Brad and Angie aren’t doing that with their kids.

One pap asks Brad how he and Angelina are doing and he says “Yeah, like I’m sure you really want to know”

from FF and every time there’s a story from the British papz it’s usually negative re: B&A. Not saying the people in general, I didn’t word that right. I meant the blogs and tabloids. The statement was in re: to the the paper this story came from. It usually does a good job bashing B&A, specially Angie. SORRY BAMZS FANS IN ENGLAND!

Me too, it is a very intelligent move. One is distracting the papp and another is doing the job unnoticed. They are a perfect couple and made for each other.

I agree, Lohan has a lot of Drew in her, I’m not a fan but I can see how the kid got so screw up, the father in jail and her mother is just a classic example of crazy stage mom, who enjoys the money and the attention but not really for her daughter’s well.

OT 2 I was reading some parts of Katie Holmes interview with HB and Tom’s PR team did a great job with this one, Katie will be the minivan majority poster girl by the end of the year.
