All Aboard, Ocean’s Thirteen!

I think 2kids2 reason for posting is very clear…she gets a rise out of you and she enjoys it… keeps her endlessly amused. I think she stated it very clearly in the last thread.. so I don’t know why you are still befuddled.

I don’t think angelina will go to the oceans 13 premiere.

Same here Alex….I love all of the pictures as well.

Brad wearing Tom Ford? Excellent. That man is so sexy.

Ellen Brarkin is forever sexy but that color purple dress she has on is all wrong for her IMO. I’ll wait for more pics

Angelina is probably with the children if she didn’t attend the Darfur charity event. Two nights in a row without mommy? The kids are probably saying, nothing doing mom.

I don’t get Ann Curry at all. She keeps asking Angelina idiotic questions. It seems like Ann is talking abut one thing and Angelina is responding to something else. There’s a disconnect there. Ann can’t seem to sit there with a normal face with a normal discussion. Instead she gets overly dramatic with her facial expressions with a look of deep concern on her face. Lady, lighten up. Angelina is an actress, she’s not Rudy Giuliani. This is one time where I think an interview of Angelina by Rosie O’ Donnell would be good, but she technically is not a journalist but another actress/comedian so it could get slanted. Whatever. I’m blase about the interview.. I know that Brad & Angelina love each other. I don’t need an interview to know that.

OT Ben Afleck and Matt Damon’s rise to fame came through their screenwriting. That’s what they got their Oscars for. The acting is extra. They both are good with good material. Ben was good in the recent Hollywoodland. Matt has always been an underrated actor.

Good night all.

It’s gonna be funny here if she doesn’t show up to the O13 premiere with him.
…………………………….

True. I think it’s obvious some people are disappointed that she didn’t show so they are coming up with excuses as to why she isn’t there to feel better. If she doesn’t show for the premiere, it’ll be same excuses..she’s with the kids, she’s probably tired, she doesn’t want to steal the spotlight, it’s Brad’s film, etc. But who cares? If she’s there, she’s there. If not, then she’s not. I think all these excuses that fans come up is more about their own insecurity about this couple than anything because they want to everything to be so perfect and when it’s not, it’s a letdown. I think some people are way too invested in this couple.

Also I don’t buy that she didn’t go to the fundraiser because she didn’t want to steal the spotlight. It was a small, private party mostly with people they know, who aren’t fazed by the Brangelina madness. Maybe she just didn’t go because she didn’t want to.

The boys are having such a good time together. Cannes is like a big vacation for them. There families hang out, they hang out with each other, they are in this beautiful location. Yes they are working but just able to spend time hanging out too.

I want a vacation.

There are always going to be people waiting for them to break up, but so what. I’m so over this stupid fued thing it’s not even funny anymore.

Right now it’s about 6:30 am over there, so if the premiere is around 7 p.m on Thursday, then we have to click on at 10 am our time.

WONDERFUL INTERVIEW!! READ THE LAST SENTENCE AND LAUGH!!

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/05/22/AR2007052201623.html

these are not “fans” who constantly say if Brad and Angelina aren’t together at a certain event there is a problem.
They are just trying to plant seeds of doubt out there. They are anyting but fans.

thanks, the last sentence is a killer.

She says she takes precautions in her travels but will continue to see and experience the world. She might even learn how to cook. “I’ll say to Brad I’d like to make us some eggs,” Jolie says, “and he says don’t.”

Angelina Jolie, Baring Her Soul On Behalf of ‘A Mighty Heart’

CANNES, France, May 22 We’re invited to what the publicists describe as “an intimate press conference” with Angelina Jolie. They don’t have to ask twice. Jolie walks into the seaside bungalow at the Hotel du Cap looking very movie star, very glamorous, very “Mr. & Mrs. Smith,” thin as a razor, a pair of golden aviator sunglasses perched on her head and bronze Christian Louboutin heels. Dressed to Cannes.

One of the dozen reporters begins by asking who she is wearing, then jokes that they never ask the guys that.

“Except for Brad,” Jolie says, laughing, flashing the big teeth, and thereby signaling that she is not unhappy to be here. That this could be okay. That we are not here with the icy distant planet Jolie, that actress who recently has appeared through the lens to be inscrutable, so wrapped in wrapping that she is unwrappable, just physically recoiling from the media’s need to feed on any bit of exposed flesh, the marriage to Pitt, the serial international adoptions, the baby-birthing in Africa, the globe-trotting Hollywood do-gooderisms, etc., etc.

Jolie is at the Cannes Film Festival to promote “A Mighty Heart,” a small-budget project produced by her husband (also here, for “Ocean’s Thirteen”) about the life and death of Daniel Pearl, the Wall Street Journal reporter. The movie (a love story, a thriller, a police procedural) is told from the harrowing perspective of his wife, Mariane Pearl, whom Jolie portrays in the weeks between his disappearance in Karachi, Pakistan, in 2002 and his terrible end by beheading, which was captured on video. The film has been warmly received by the critics at Cannes, and they have praised Jolie and British director Michael Winterbottom for their restraint, for not turning the movie into a movie about Angelina Jolie. (Nor is the beheading shown; it is witnessed through the reactions of actors seeing the tape. Nor is Jolie’s French accent a distraction.)

And her celebrity, it helps? “I would love to think it’s a help, but sometimes it can be a distraction. With a subject matter and a character like Mariane, it has to be handled so carefully,” Jolie says. “Because sometimes I’m so public in so many other ways, it could have hurt. I’m very conscious of that, more than feeling confident it would help. But now the film is made and we’re very proud of it. I’m glad to do everything I can to bring attention to it.”

Jolie recalls her three visits to Pakistan on humanitarian and refugee missions for the United Nations. The film depicts a complex Pakistan, beset by layers of intrigue, by anti-American jihadists, terrorists and their sympathizers, by corrupt officials, by double-dealers, but also people truly trying to help, including a Pakistani anti-terrorism captain who first appears to be a bad guy, then a good guy, who also tortures suspects to find Pearl.

“We’ll see if I get my next visa to Pakistan,” says Jolie, who continues: “It’s a very balanced film,” and “I have a love for that part of the world and I’m very sad how much every day it is breaking apart.”

The film contains scenes of the actor playing Daniel Pearl, Dan Futterman (who was nominated for an Oscar for his “Capote” screenplay), that were shot in Karachi, portrayed as a chaotic megacity of great poverty and brutality, yet with moments of humanity and grace. Jolie did not work in Pakistan for the film (it was too dangerous, Winterbottom says), but shot her scenes in India, which serves as a stand-in for the site of the house-headquarters where Mariane Pearl and her colleagues gathered to await news of the reporter’s fate. Pitt joined Jolie in India. “He’s a really good producer,” she says, “and he also spent most of the time at the hotel with our three kids, being an even better father.”

What does Jolie hope for the film? “I think there is a bigger message. I think we’re at a time in our lives where there is so much fear and there is so much anger and it’s hard for people to calm down enough to have a dialogue about finding solutions, and I think she, Mariane, is a great example of that because she, under the most extraordinary circumstances, remained very focused on having sympathy for the other side, even after what they did to her husband.” Jolie continues, “She said a few days after her husband was killed that she loved Pakistan.”

Jolie met with Mariane Pearl many times and says they have become friends.

“This story and this time is something everybody remembers, even studio heads; they actually care about it. They care about Danny Pearl and they care about Mariane,” Jolie says. “And even when we came to publicity, nobody asked for anything silly and nobody pushed.”

And that is the atmosphere here at the Hotel du Cap for the minutes we spend with Jolie. Nobody asks about Brangelina. We ask if the Pakistani captain who ferreted out Pearl’s killers had seen the film? “He saw it last night,” Winterbottom says, “and said it was like reliving it.” Jolie wonders whether we should put that in the newspaper and Winterbottom says it is fine. We like that Jolie is concerned about his safety.

She says she will finish up a film now shooting in Prague (the thriller “Wanted,” with Morgan Freeman and James McAvoy), and that soon she and Pitt plan to take a year off. She will keep flying planes. She just got instrument-rated and Pitt now has a pilot’s license. She says she takes precautions in her travels but will continue to see and experience the world. She might even learn how to cook. “I’ll say to Brad I’d like to make us some eggs,” Jolie says, “and he says don’t.” :lol:
