Did you even read what you posted? You said “Let’s be real, Angie got the part because she is shacked up with the producer.” Meaning that Angie got the part just because she is with the producer and nothing else. But you where so positive about it unlike me right?? LMAO!!!

As I said Angie is an Academy Award winning actress and a respected one and that is why they hired her. Not because she was with the producer. I brought JA’s name up as an example that unless you have some talent you won’t get a job just because you are with a producer. If that was the case then Plan B would have made at least one movie with her but they didn’t. It was a plain example. Don’t get so frustrated. LOL!!!

Lets please ignore the people who come here to cause trouble.

I have to disagree. In Touch’s choice to use the V Tech tragedy makes them look more stupid because if, for example, Britney Spears gets a makeover, including a new red wig, and goes out on the town, their next cover will feature her ‘new’ look, extolling her newfound value and marketability. For me, if they opted not to print a mag in observance of the tragedy, then I would probably respect them.

IMO, if a magazine spends 51 weeks out of the year cheapening people’s choices and lives, they can’t redeem themselves with a seemingly thoughtful cover story for 1 week.

Killing and terrorizing people is bad, but lying, stalking, and being nasty is just fine… PLEASE!!

I am a balck woman too of Latin origin and I find it particularly offensive that a white woman should wear makeup to act a part of a black woman when there are many black actresses who would have played the part. I have never seen Angelina Jolie in such a role so I will not give my take on how she interpretes it. However am definitely not watching it because I do not think I will enjoy the movie. I guess many of you do not uderstand but if you were black you would. It would be different if she Marianne Pearl was one of those black people who looked white and that was the theme of the movie like the ‘human stain’. But this is like saying that black people were not up for the role.

QQQQ:

Thanks for the info. I had planned to go to the premiere (just stay outside AMC River theater, of course, can’t afford the $500 per ticket) with Missouri Fan, but Brad already nixed the event? OOOOHHHH NNNOOOOO!!!! ((((sobbing!)))) Why oh why can’t he go to Chi-Town if only for one night??? I had to endure the shooting of TBU here, with the ex’s and VV’s presence the summer of 2005, and during the premiere of 2006 — and I had thought that it’s my turn now with Braddy, GC and AP. But only GC and MD? No AP even? Boy, am I so crushed!

I’m black and I don’t understand where you are coming from. Will Smith is one of the most powerful man in HW and if he wanted to play a role like that then he would but that doesn’t go for all actors of color. I for one believe that the best actress for the job should play the part and if that actress happens to be one of color or not doesn’t matter. The fact that MP didn’t have a problem with Angelina playing her is all that matters imo. It is her story afterall.

Never frustrated by meaningless ppl to me. She did not audition for it and get it; she was casted because she is shacked up with the producer. Never said she wasn’t a good actress, which would be your negative thinking on my behalf. Boy you took a lot of negative from a very short statement; do you often do that much thinking on other ppl’s behalf?

While we were on the subject she got an Oscar for playing a really unbalanced person, who at the time she was clearly that and said her self she identified most with that character then any other character she has play. So, I am not sure if that is really stretching one self? That role was not a challenge to her; to me (my opinion) when you play someone that is outside of what you know is a challenge.

Juggling Annette Bening, Jack Nicholson, Matt Damon, Leo, Molly Shannon, and dozens of others… after all, that’s the only way they could get into a Brad Pitt production… SIDE DISHES… all of them!!! {eye roll}

Mariane Pearl is French Cuban, not black. Plus she has lighter skin than most black. Also, Mariane Pearl is friends with Angie. So, if Mariane doesn’t have any problem, why should we.

Wow, do I have a lo of catching up to do.

It’s gonna be a busy next couple of months so expect a lot of film press over the next few months.

I wonder what the Czech press’s reaction to Angelina will be? Prague is like the quintessential Eastern European city and here is this famous actress who can claim part of her heritage from there.

If haters have a problem with this imagined issue of race in AMH, they should take it up with Marianne Pearl, not Angelina. this is where, Mrs. pearl is gonn have to step up and voice her views if asked about the subject. She is a woman of color who was raised in Europe and has a totally different percpective when it comes to “labels”. She also has had an international life that not many people have experienced especially in this contry. I hope she will be open enough to listen to why some are concerned but also let people know that she understands the concerns but with this film, coming from her perpective, a white woman playing her is a non issue in this particular film.

I don’t care if Marianne agreed that Angie plays her. She was paid already so what could she say. Like someone said, if they auditioned and Angie came out top, then you would say she was the best person for the part. Do you see any one complaining abotu Wentworth Miller in Prison Break? That is why they could not come up with better and it was an auditioning process. And Yes Angie had to wear dark make up, use your eyes.
