Brad Takes Maddox to Mars 2112 — Again!

now that’s a great dad.

Happy Father’s Day on Sunday Papa Pitt!

oh how affectionate .. I am seeing the closeness of the father-son relationship here. What a kewl daddy :D

ahhhhh…again just posting to have a comment on the first page. Wow, twice in one week!

Love, love, LOVE to see them with the kids!!

Awww who doesnt love a piggy-back ride from Dad? Too cute! :)

Great Dad!!! but pls, put a different hat.

LOL Dad Brad has got new shoes!
How cute are them?

What’s the matter Fug Face? You tired of all the Brangeloonie crap? lol… If they weren’t so pretty to look at I would be too.

Funny how none of these “Great father” or “Good dad” comments make it on any other threads when the father is spending time with their kid. Narrow minded freaks …

Hi Frenchy,

Isn’t it great that they are so close to us in NYC all over the place? Angie was in mid town Manhattan in my husband’s work building yesterday! And he didn’t know!!!! :)

It’s great they have one-on-one time with their kids. Nothing like bonding this way…

FREAKIN ADORABLE :)

aww so sweet, such a great dad. :)

19 go to the hugh jackman/matt damon/affleck threads, the good dad comments are everywhere

Why do most of you reply with “now that is a great dad!”

Give me a break. There are tons of great fathers out there, with very little money who spend more time with their kids round the year.

I see Brad is out with his favourite ’son’

The should really stay in the LA area. When they are there there is rarely a picture of them. They shop and go out to eat and take the kids to school Angie sadi they did and no pictures. When in Europe or NY pictures every day. LA is the best for them if they don’t want to be seen.

Over them and their media controlling ways.

Brad and Mad are making it their own tradition as father and son to come to Mars 2112 whenever they are in NYC. Brad and Angie are super wonderful parents.

Brad’s mouth is always hanging open like he’s some idiot savant.

Maddox is adorable. Brad must be mighty strong to hold him like that. It looks awkward.

Cornball my a$$. This pair is all about being the BRAND-gelina, not about being Mr. & Mrs. anything.

I know, right, SJ? I mean, HOW DARE HE give his son a piggyback ride while going to a restaurant? How fake! Clearly he dragged his son out just so the paparazzi could take these pictures!

Ugh, it’s sooooo transparent. I doubt they were even hungry or that Maddox even likes this restaurant. IT MUST BE b/c Brad is staging photos. DUH! It’s the only response that makes sense!

37 SJ | 06/15/2007 at 1:49 pm
Brad and Angie are just average parents. They have a fleet of nannies and minders, don’t be fooled simply because the nanny isn’t holding the kid in the staged shots.

I guess you could say the same for all the celebrities on this blog. why don’t you go on their threads to complain about their staged shots and nannies, hmmm?

Isn’t Maddox growing? Won’t be long before he’s giving the piggy back rides.

twokids2 spreading her usual bullsh*t on every Brad and Angelina thread. I’m a lurker and usually don’t post but like the fans say you’re being a damn pest and thrive on pushing everyone’s buttons. Keep on posting ****** you can say all the negative things but we fans will still love our Brad and Angelina!

SJ:

So I guess I’ll see you at Gwen Stefani’s thread (she has been seen carrying Kingston at ALL TIMES, EVERYWHERE), so with Jennifer Garner and Violet Affleck’s thread (also with a ton of pictures when they play at the park), — and I will be looking forward to your complaint about them being average mothers with a ton of nannies to do the actual work.

GO AND HAVE AN ORGY TOGETHER .. CLINIQUA WILL TAPE IT

Oh yeah I forgot that words are censored on this site. The ****** was for a word that I should be ashamed of for posting but ****** sure does it for me!

Do you think they travel with a full support staff or nannies and chefs etc???

************************************

They don’t have chefs and they have 1 nanny. Brad’s parents and sister as well as Angie’s brother are all in NYC with them. Sure they have more resources than the average family, but they by no means are living an outrageously extravagant lifestyle as some some haters imagine.

i luv dis fam

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Pleaseeeeeee! Do you really believe they only have 1 nanny?
Give me a break!
Yes, 1 nanny per kid.
Now, that makes more sense.
Where did you get that information? It is totally wrong.

This is really hard me for right now, I can write all day about how Britney Spears probably leaves her kids in the care of a fish tank while she’s out partying or how I wish that dolphins land on Tara Reid’s head and lets not talk about that easy target Paris Hilton but putting into words how one of our photographers probably felt as he sat inches away from Angelina Jolie while they drove around New York City for 30 minutes? Um yeah, that’s why I carbon offset and watch Extreme Make Over: Home Edition.But hey, this isn’t about me, it’s about this luck sh*t James, who because he treated Angelina as more than just dollar sign (even we get star struck too) got to ride around New York City with one of the most beautiful women in the world.

So today, staff photographer James Ambler was cycling through the city trying to keep up with silver screen siren Angelina Jolie when he punctured one of his tires and Jolie being the humanitarian that she is, instead of leaving him in her dust after he had spent days photographing her, had her security pull over her SUV and offered the paparazzo a ride to the hotel.

Now this is usually where I would freak out due to jealousy (or because my g/f’s obsession with Jolie has caused her to barricade herself in the bathroom and has been plunging her head in a bathtub full of water screaming “Why not me?” for the past 5 hours) but after looking at the pictures and video of James and his ear to ear smile, it made me appreciate all the hard work he did over the past few days to earn Jolie’s respect.

Here’s to you James, you spent 30 minutes alone with the most sought after woman in the world but for the record, I don’t think Brad has anything to worry about.

Watch the video HERE to see James try to put his encounter into words as I’m at home and cant process the video (stupid Verizon and their awful bandwidth). The darling Anna is off tomorrow so I will put up as soon as get into the office.

Update: I have added the video of a absolutely star struck James Ambler.

I agree with you and love your comment! :)

BOOOO HOOOOO HOOOOOO.
Now, see what you did to me?
You made me cry.
I’m so scare!!!!!
Now, do you thing Brad and Angie will protect me?
Please, talk to them and see if they will adopt me. I had lost any hope of being a Jolie-Pitt, but now it seems everything has changed. I still have a chance to being adopted by the most wonderful, intellectual, giving, loving, family in the whole wide world.

SOY UNA BOLUDA, NO LO PUEDO EVITAR.

Love to see Maddox! I love the whole Jolie-Pitt family but I’ll always have a special fondness for Maddox because he was the one that melted my heart (and sweetened me to Angie) when I first saw his pic. Time sure flies, seems like not too long ago he was just a little baby.

twokids2

I’ll be the big bad grammar police. It’s scared not scare, but maybe it’s just a typo. Yeah, RIGHT!!! Sentence should also be “I still have a chance OF being adopted”. You will probably give an excuse saying I never proof anything but all the negative posters cannot spell for SH*T!

81 asaragena
Yes you are right!
It was a typo, cause I have to write fast to see what BS you people are writing.
And by the way, do you speak PERFECTLY other language besides English?
I don’t think so.
Well, I do.

Love ya dragonfly! See twokids2 has to go into the spanish rendition because what she’s too afraid to fight it out in English? I can post in Hawaiian but that wouldn’t be fun. Sorry BAMZSP fans just feeling a little cranky. I love this site but these pesky and negative posters sure does get on my nerves! I just need a little caffeine. BRB :)

Whats wrong with them being seen?

Frankly there is nowhere on the face of this earth where they will not be pursued, or seen.

I am sure they know that being photographed comes with the package in their chosen professions.

Waving to Estelle!!! I just love you regular posters like Dragonfly and especially you Estelle. I love your intelligent posts and wonderful opinions. The reason I don’t post, I live here in Hawaii and we are all about ohana “family” so I admire Brad and Angelina and how they take care of their kids. I see a lot of dysfunctional families in Hollywood and those kids are just downright spoiled! Here in Hawaii we put our foot down and would not take that kind of attitude. I’m also not liking a lot of hate I see here on the internet so it can get disheartening. I’ll try to post more often. I’m here to back you up from these nasties, so don’t worry! :) Oh and my name is Adrienne, it means “woman of the sea”.

ROTFL. I love Brad’s retro sneakers. Reminds me of the Converse sneaks I grew up wearing!

what about anything he does makes his this “great dad” you all keep referring to. i know plenty of dads who take their kids out to eat.

he and his brood are NOTHING special. i’m pretty sure they’d be scared of you freaks who worship their every move.

Leni, someone posted the article on last thread where Angie says that they have communicated :)

Brad and Mad are too cute.

Oh what a coincidence: first paparazzis outside the pediatric centre and now out of the restaurant and always just when Brad arrives……

To me:

Yep I know plenty of Dads who do lots of stuff with their kids too. In fact you probably have a cool dad who took you to great restaurants when you were a kid. Maybe since Sunday is Father’s Day you can repay his kindness by taking him out to a fun place to eat. But uh here’s the thing let us know if the paps show up so that when Jared posts the pics of you and good ol’ dad enjoying your day together then the rest of us can come to that thread and post about what a great father you have. We may even say some good things about you too. Okay. So you get busy working on that and let us know how you’re coming along.

To # 110

I think the Brangelina fans just know how to appreciate the nice little things they see that people do, however ordinary. It makes life better that way, you know. Appreciation is a good, healthy thing to do.Instead of always seeing the negative out of everything. Such a miserable life to lead. Right haters? :)

woaw !

Going from staying idle watching TV while his wife spent time to tan while trying to figure out what other bullshit to tell her husband to make him believe that she truly is in par with his personal wish of being a father to a TRUE father figure of 4 with all the joy and challenge and substance and personal growth implied in it.

What an upgrade from the shallow superficial with no aim in life past…with the only excepetion of looking good…vanity is a ***** !

His life is so much more richer now with Angie and the kids…so much more in par with the maturity process that should struck any normal 35+…at least those who are not childish and full of insecurities like teens are !

Go Brad !

OK: here’s what you should do — eat lot’s of salmon, take gingko biloba on a daily basis, and buy yourself a thick sudoku puzzle book. that’ll help.

I still think Brad Pitt had something to do with the hoopla with the no personal q&a demands. I remember ted casablanca was pissed because Brad Pitt banned a few reporters from his O13 premiere and now you have this mess surrounding Angelina Jolie. Makes me wonder if he is trying to silence her because she is a little too candid at times, and he doesn’t like it. of course like everything else no matter who’s idea it was, the blame always falls at Angelina’s feet. that must be frustrating for her.

To asaragena

Hehe! Thanks asaragena. Hope I can keep being a reasonable person though with the kind of haters that the jolie-pitts have. I guess being extremely fabulous people like they are can also create extremely weird haters. LOL!

PRAD PITT #5 on the Forbes celebrity 100 list-
wonderful! congrats!

Brad Pitt # 1 Dad, he is really a very happy father right now & he deserves all the best in the world. Happy Father’s Day Brad !!!
When you & Angelina gets older, your family will always be there for you guys. Have love & faith with each other. Thanks for bringing joys to all the Brangelina fans all over the world. You are such an inspiration. God bless you & your family.

@144
Thank for the video.
She looked radiant. I loved the interview.

My daughter was about 4 yrs old. We were in the hospital to see my dad. My daughter yelled out in the waiting room, “My grandpa has a ******! My grandpa has a ******!” I took her aside and explained that grandpa has angina…

Asra Nomani, the former Wall Street Journal reporter who’s the “supporting character” in “A Mighty Heart,” the Angelina Jolie film about journalists Danny and Marianne Pearl and Danny’s murder in Pakistan, helped out on making the picture true to life. She made sure the cast even got the right notebooks that she and Danny used. But when she saw the glittery press photos out of the film’s premiere at Cannes, she had a “duh” moment. The marketing, the PR, the celebrities: All of it was absolutely the antithesis of Danny, she realized. The studio publicists brought a screener of the film to her house in West Virginia: the on-screen Danny just looked so flat. So in an email to a producer of the film early this month, Nomani wrote: “I’m not going to be attending the premiere because, upon reflection, I just don’t believe in the movie and the mythology of its marketing and PR campaign.”

In this excerpt from her email, she explains her thinking.

As much as the talking points say that this movie is for Danny and that everyone made the movie for the right reasons, I don’t at all feel that it is for Danny or that noble intentions underly this movie. That’s just my opinion, and I don’t mean to offend you, but I’ve just heard that soundbite one too many times.

In your role as producer, you may think I’m full of B.S. in seeing a reality that isn’t the one that you’re portraying on the big screen. I am told there is hardly a person who thinks too highly of Hollywood’s depiction of reality. But even knowing that intellectually, I cannot in good conscience enable an enterprise to me that represents to me little more than “astroturf reality.”

Maybe I’ve read a little too much Joseph Campbell, but I think that our society has become quite sick in the way that we manufacture heroes out of tragedy — Guliani, for example, being a hero when he was just doing his job as mayor — and to me the industry that supports this mythmaking is not one in which I want to participate. To me, the participation of the media industry in creating myths out of reality is most distressing.

The truth is that I am sorry that I ever got involved in the movie making from the beginning. I was naive in putting trust in the process, and I shouldn’t have been but my head was also spinning post-Karachi in trying to support Mariane as much as I could. To me, Danny had left her at my house, and I had a duty to him to take care of her.

I tried throughout the filmmaking to help because I hoped a greater good would come from this enterprise. In my heart, I don’t think a greater good emerges, despite all of the allegiances with reporting organizations, etc., because at the end of the day this movie could never have happened without the tragic sacrifice of Danny’s life, and my greatest sadness is that I don’t think that the movie comes close to even capturing Danny’s real life charisma and charm.

As the details of the movie have sunk into my conscience over the last couple of weeks, I realized that the film made me miss Danny even more as a friend, because he was so not present for me on the screen

WOW, she just killed the movie! The sad part is that she helped marianne to write the book.

The email is for the producers of the movie, a big OUCH to brad.

i love angelina jolie!

@161
What a selfish woman. The movie was based on Mariane Pearl’s book and her search to find her husband not the life and work of Danny Pearl.

His parents have both seen it and liked it.
Mariane has seen it and liked it.

What the hell does she want. If anything he will be turning in his grave at the behavour of his ‘friend’. I guess she hasn’t been getting enough attention.

Pr disaster my a$$. The film has been getting positive reviews.

175 AMH | 06/15/2007 at 4:18 pm

161, whoever this person is , is not important.He was not her husband. The only voice that matters is mariane pearl. I am quite sure if mariane was dissatisfied with the finished project she would voice her opinion.
*********************************
SHE CO-WROTE THE BOOK.

*****************************************

SO WHAT? IT WAS NOT HER HUSBAND OR SON.

ASRA NOMANI is not the author of the book, you moron!

The author is Marianne Pearl, Danny’s wife - AMH is a story told through her eyes and she totally endorses the movie.

Asra is a journalist who worked with Danny. She was very worried that the actress who played her part was not glamorous enough, she said in an interview she was afraid she was going to be played by the domestic help.

IMO she does not like Danny’s wife and her book. She wants this to be Danny’s story and have a bigger role herself. And the truth is this is Danny and Marianne story, told by Marianne.

She comes out as a bit jealous, really… just like the moron who hates Angelina so much she ran here telling us the “author” of the book was not happy with the movie. Stupid is as stupid does.

It is funny how critics drop these so called articles without links or facts. The agenda is to smear the Movie and AJ. However, it is a futile cause. Anybody can claim to be a critic, a friend, a source or whatever. The final proof is in the product and so far A Mighty Heart is a critical success. The movie was made on an Indie budget and has been hailed by major critics and not by fly by night websites (Nat’l alledger and Post chronic lies). However, don’t let that stop you from your little campaign. I am looking forward to seeing “A Mighty Heart”.

Please do not spread negative comments until you hear from Brad and Angelina. It has happened over and over. The purpose of those who spread this news is to kill the joy of the fans and it will not work.

realmente tu tienes un grave problema de comprension verdad?. dije que es de comun uso entre los americanos (del continente, no del país) que los argentinos son insoportablemente egocentricos y autosuficientes en su propia opinion. si te ofendiste, es porque lo eres pero eso no es un delito. y eso de compueblanas la verdad no lo entiendo.

A Mighty Heart

CASUALTY OF WAR The tragic story of Daniel Pearl’s abduction and murder is obscured by the star (Jolie, as Mariane Pearl) on screen
Peter MountainBy Lisa Schwarzbaum Lisa Schwarzbaum
Lisa Schwarzbaum is a film critic for EW
Wish though we might for another option, we know the terrible ending of A Mighty Heart before the movie begins. While investigating a story in Karachi, Pakistan, on ‘’shoe bomber” Richard Reid in early 2002, Wall Street Journal reporter and South Asia bureau chief Daniel Pearl was kidnapped and murdered, and his beheading was documented on camera with sickening cruelty of purpose. Pearl’s wife, Mariane, herself a freelance journalist for French radio and television, was pregnant at the time, and after her husband’s death, she wrote a book about his life and work — and their happy time together — with the couple’s son, Adam, in mind. If today even strangers refer to the Pearls as Danny and Mariane, it is because, through the intimate accessibility of her prose and the fresh glamour of their photogenic images, Mariane Pearl has succeeded so well in personalizing the dangers that accompany the necessity of a free press. Scores more journalists have since died in the line of duty.

The shaping and shading that turned Mariane’s book, subtitled The Brave Life and Death of My Husband, Danny Pearl, into A Mighty Heart, the noble project starring Angelina Jolie, qualifies in itself, I suppose, as a kind of media success. This respectful, committed, on-the-side-of-right dramatization got made because it stars one of today’s most headline-grabbing actress-celebrities. (As a promotional bonus, Jolie’s equally eye-catching partner, Brad Pitt, is one of the producers.) And because Michael Winterbottom directed, drawing on his blunter global docudrama style (The Road to Guantánamo) rather than his fanciful playtime style (Tristram Shandy: A **** & Bull Story), the movie strides ahead with a good sense of rhythm, rocking backward just when relief is needed to create vignettes of happier moments in the Pearls’ life as an attractive couple to offset the despair of the present and horror of the future. (We know it’s coming; thank goodness we’re spared the full documentation.)

But because A Mighty Heart stars Jolie — her skin somehow polished to reflect Mariane’s Afro-Cuban/Dutch complexion, her wig a masterpiece of a casually corkscrewed updo, her accent the work of a good student — it’s impossible not to be conscious of her performance at every turn. Her intensity, combined with the aura of her celebrity, becomes the story — and the character of the actual Danny Pearl (Dan Futterman, a spot-on physical match) recedes in importance. Thus when Mariane expresses frustration with the investigation, even though a team of Pakistani counter-terrorism officers, led with devotion by a man called only Captain (The Namesake’s terrific Irrfan Khan), are working around the clock, we focus on her pain rather than their hard work. When Mariane turns for support to Danny’s boss, John Bussey (Half Nelson’s fine Denis O’Hare), to friend and colleague Asra Nomani (Bend It Like Beckham’s Archie Panjabi), and to Danny’s parents (allowing screenwriter John Orloff to emphasize Danny’s pride in his Jewish heritage), her needs dwarf the value of their compassion. And when Mariane receives the news she’s been dreading and to which the entire movie has been building, the actress in the role dissolves into a keening grief so busy that audience attention wanders at exactly the wrong time to thoughts about how many takes the shot required, and why a moment so obviously devastating affects us in the head but not in the gut.

Winterbottom’s A Mighty Heart focuses on the grim stretch between the time Danny Pearl never returned for dinner (he had set off to interview a shady source) and the time, weeks later, when grisly confirmation of death arrived. Mariane Pearl surely wasn’t passive during that time — she worked her sources and attended to her health for the sake of the baby growing inside her — but neither was she the real story. Daniel Pearl was, and the kind of work he did, and the reasons for the seething unrest in the country in which he was a visitor. At the very least, the story is the search to find one missing journalist, just one among hundreds in peril around the globe. The twisting of narrative perspective that pushes the missing man’s wife so insistently into the foreground makes A Mighty Heart a mighty challenge.

Jared, Thanks for the great father-son picx. Brad is totally in his element here. Love the sneakers. I’m sure everyday is like Father’s Day for Brad as he has had his dreams come true times four, with the most beautiful, loving mom for his children as the cherry on top. So happy for him.

As for that so-call friend of Marianne and Daniel Pearl, sounds like sour grapes to me. Some people will say and do anything to get their 15mins of fame. Sad, but true.

Not a cutie cutie child who is obviously a spoilt brat with celebrity parents.

Happy Father’s day Brad Pitt.

Please stop copying and repeating bad posts.

A Mighty Heart

CASUALTY OF WAR The tragic story of Daniel Pearl’s abduction and murder is obscured by the star (Jolie, as Mariane Pearl) on screen
Peter MountainBy Lisa Schwarzbaum Lisa Schwarzbaum
Lisa Schwarzbaum is a film critic for EW
Wish though we might for another option, we know the terrible ending of A Mighty Heart before the movie begins. While investigating a story in Karachi, Pakistan, on ‘’shoe bomber’’ Richard Reid in early 2002, Wall Street Journal reporter and South Asia bureau chief Daniel Pearl was kidnapped and murdered, and his beheading was documented on camera with sickening cruelty of purpose. Pearl’s wife, Mariane, herself a freelance journalist for French radio and television, was pregnant at the time, and after her husband’s death, she wrote a book about his life and work — and their happy time together — with the couple’s son, Adam, in mind. If today even strangers refer to the Pearls as Danny and Mariane, it is because, through the intimate accessibility of her prose and the fresh glamour of their photogenic images, Mariane Pearl has succeeded so well in personalizing the dangers that accompany the necessity of a free press. Scores more journalists have since died in the line of duty.

The shaping and shading that turned Mariane’s book, subtitled The Brave Life and Death of My Husband, Danny Pearl, into A Mighty Heart, the noble project starring Angelina Jolie, qualifies in itself, I suppose, as a kind of media success. This respectful, committed, on-the-side-of-right dramatization got made because it stars one of today’s most headline-grabbing actress-celebrities. (As a promotional bonus, Jolie’s equally eye-catching partner, Brad Pitt, is one of the producers.) And because Michael Winterbottom directed, drawing on his blunter global docudrama style (The Road to Guantánamo) rather than his fanciful playtime style (Tristram Shandy: A **** & Bull Story), the movie strides ahead with a good sense of rhythm, rocking backward just when relief is needed to create vignettes of happier moments in the Pearls’ life as an attractive couple to offset the despair of the present and horror of the future. (We know it’s coming; thank goodness we’re spared the full documentation.)

But because A Mighty Heart stars Jolie — her skin somehow polished to reflect Mariane’s Afro-Cuban/Dutch complexion, her wig a masterpiece of a casually corkscrewed updo, her accent the work of a good student — it’s impossible not to be conscious of her performance at every turn. Her intensity, combined with the aura of her celebrity, becomes the story — and the character of the actual Danny Pearl (Dan Futterman, a spot-on physical match) recedes in importance. Thus when Mariane expresses frustration with the investigation, even though a team of Pakistani counter-terrorism officers, led with devotion by a man called only Captain (The Namesake’s terrific Irrfan Khan), are working around the clock, we focus on her pain rather than their hard work. When Mariane turns for support to Danny’s boss, John Bussey (Half Nelson’s fine Denis O’Hare), to friend and colleague Asra Nomani (Bend It Like Beckham’s Archie Panjabi), and to Danny’s parents (allowing screenwriter John Orloff to emphasize Danny’s pride in his Jewish heritage), her needs dwarf the value of their compassion. And when Mariane receives the news she’s been dreading and to which the entire movie has been building, the actress in the role dissolves into a keening grief so busy that audience attention wanders at exactly the wrong time to thoughts about how many takes the shot required, and why a moment so obviously devastating affects us in the head but not in the gut.

Winterbottom’s A Mighty Heart focuses on the grim stretch between the time Danny Pearl never returned for dinner (he had set off to interview a shady source) and the time, weeks later, when grisly confirmation of death arrived. Mariane Pearl surely wasn’t passive during that time — she worked her sources and attended to her health for the sake of the baby growing inside her — but neither was she the real story. Daniel Pearl was, and the kind of work he did, and the reasons for the seething unrest in the country in which he was a visitor. At the very least, the story is the search to find one missing journalist, just one among hundreds in peril around the globe. The twisting of narrative perspective that pushes the missing man’s wife so insistently into the foreground makes A Mighty Heart a mighty challenge. Despite the best of intentions, an actress who makes her own headlines gets in the way of the big picture. B-

Fans, please stop responding to any bad post until you know that it is true and let Brad and Angelina take care of this like they usually do.

AP report: Jolie & Pitt Attend NYC ‘A Mighty Heart’ Premiere

I see the troll is working hard today, it must be drinking redbull to keep it going. Having to read through all the positive reviews to find the negative once.

Asra Nomani is really just slapping Marianne Pearl in the face, which I’m damned sure Danny Pearl wouldn’t like either. But you know what, a slap for Marianne is indirectly a slap for Angelina, so I expect that this will get blown out of proportion by some haters just as the premiere ‘contract’ was. I don’t understand this woman’s beef - she’s a bit discombobulated for a ‘writer.’ She’s basically saying she didn’t see Daniel Pearl in Daniel Futterman’s portrayal (’didn’t see her friend onscreen’) and that’s why she’s regretting the movie (way to make Futterman feel like sh*t lady), then she talks about the mythology of movie making, then she mentions the marketing and PR (Dear ms. Nomani, the studio gives producers 20 million dollars to make movies in the hopes that they make it back and then some - what planet are you on that you didn’t know THAT going in?) — BOTTOMLINE, she is ALL over the place. At the end of the day, I can guarantee you, she has an ulterior motive, even if it’s just of the emotional immature kind. She has decided to stick it to Marianne out of jealousy, or perhaps she doesn’t like that Marianne herself is the focal point (I get the feeling she is, and WAS, VERY proprietal about Daniel Pearl, which is kind of creepy sounding considering she was not his wife - though perhaps that’s her problem eh?).

Again, peeps can keep yapping about A Mighty Heart - at this point it really doesn’t matter what kind of ‘personal issues’ Ms. Nomani has, nor does it matter what kind of talk surrounds this movie - the fact that there are good reviews, and that there’s TALK period, is a GOOD thing…I predict this picture will be HUGE. :lol:

OMG when will this be over? These FRAUDS really want to take every penny they can for this movie. I’d rather die than donate into their luxurious lives (10k/night villa, private jets, 20+ household help, etc). This anorexic is manipulating the media any way she can. At the end of the day she is still America’s Homewrecker.

__________________________

Yet, you’ll watch ‘Friends’ for 10 seasons and contribute to a no talent worthless FUG TV sit-com hack’s lifestyle of the BORING, BANAL, and FAMOUS…a dull BORE of a b*tch whose idea of charity is tipping her colorist and extra 5%.

Yeah that’s it you dumb evil HO…keep stabbing the lady that’s visited 30 some odd war torned, impoverished areas of the world and brought attention to impoverished AIDS babies who are dying, and genocide that is occurring - not to mention giving 1/3rd of her income away to causes hoping to end and alleviate the death and destruction, not to mention, raising the babies that she’s seen suffering alone without parents, as her children….

Yeah go right ahead you piece of SH*T rank excuse for a human being, settle your fat lard ass down with a big ol’ BLIZZARD from Dairy Queen and watch the 1998 season of ‘Friends’ aka ‘6 rich white people who complain in NYC while chillaxing in their Loft.’ One dumb useless ***** deserves another I guess.

Oh and one more thing, ‘America’s Homewrecker?’ Maybe you call, a sad DULL REBOUND relationship where Brad was beleaguered by a DUMB cheesy big schnozzed TV sit-com hack and her 27 cackling hen friends/lackeys/goddesses, who drank too much, snorted blow, and toked weed every other day, a ‘home.’ I call that a WASTE OF HIS F*CKING LIFE!! If someone told ‘Brad Pitt’ right now, to leave the Oscar winning actress and most beautiful woman in the world and mother of his babies….to go back to Maniston and her FELLOW old dried up chickens who spent the bulk of their day cackling and squeeing over him in between pilates classes and new layer cuts….

Brad would off himself in quite the spectacular fashion, weeping for Angelina right up until the very end.

I haven’t seen the movie, but reading these movie “critics” made me wonder whether the listened to what the writer, the director, and the actors have said over and over in their interviews. The movie is not mainly about DP, his is a supporting role. The movie wants to emphasize the idea of cooperation between people of different races, and religions to help a woman looking for her husband in a foreign and hostile country. It’s not a film about DP’s life.

Happy Father’s Day, Brad!! You have 4 very, very, very, very lucky kids. Your beautiful Angelina is the luckiest mom in the world because of you!!! :-)

It’s often suggested that the films of Michael Winterbottom are so varied that it’s hard to find a common thread running through them beyond their diversity and frequency, yet the director’s latest film ‘A Mighty Heart’, which had its world premiere in Cannes last night, is further evidence of this British filmmaker’s growing desire to apply an urgent and committed cinema to some of the more controversial and pressing areas of current world affairs.

His new film is an energetic reconstruction of the disappearance of Wall Street Journal journalist Daniel Pearl in Karachi in 2002 and the tense five weeks that followed as his wife Mariane Pearl (Angelina Jolie) remained at the centre of a fraught international investigation until the discovery that Pearl had in fact been murdered by his kidnappers early in his captivity. With its extensive location work, a visual style that feeds on the appearance of news footage and documentaries, use of archive footage and its journalistic attention to precise details, ‘A Mighty Heart’ should be seen as the third film in a loose trilogy that includes ‘In This World’ and ‘Road to Guantanamo’. Jolie is impressive as Mariane Pearl, portraying her as a calm, intelligent presence amid an investigation that was flawed by bureaucracy and differing attitudes to her husband’s disappearance among, for example, the FBI and the Pakistani security services, the first of which were questioning of the latter’s reaction to Pearl’s disappearance. Indeed a strong theme of the film is the downside of global communication and co-operation as different interests and ideas and prejudices collide in the search for Pearl.

Before the kidnapping itself, Winterbottom immediately presents the chaos and uncertainty of Daniel Pearl’s existence in Karachi, throwing us into busy street-scenes of traffic jams as Pearl (Dan Futterman) fights his way around the city as part of his research into potential Pakistani links to the British ’shoe bomber’, Richard Reid. Within 15 minutes, Pearl is gone and the rest of the film leads up to the inevitable discovery of the news that its characters all dread. Winterbottom adopts a ‘war room’ approach to the story, largely basing its telling within Pearl’s Karachi home, which fills with colleagues, police and other officials. This scenario is constantly punctuated with brief interludes elsewhere, such as flashes of Pearl’s parents back home in America and of the Pakistani’s forces applying torture to a suspect. The film is speedy and never lingers on one scene for long. Edits are fast and close-ups are abundant.

We don’t see Pearl being kidnapped or during his incarceration apart from a reconstruction of some moments of the tape that his kidnappers released following his death. Instead, this is Mariane Pearl’s story and we are left to ponder the Pearls’ previous life together from several flashbacks (such as their wedding) and their life apart from both the terrible, wrenching screams that a heavily pregnant Pearl lets out when she is finally told that her husband is dead and the final shot of her walking alone with her child down a quiet Paris street.

As an American co-production, ‘A Mighty Heart’ feels like a bigger affair than those comparable earlier films mentioned above - ‘In This World’ and ‘Road to Guantanamo’ - and as a result it lacks some of their sense of improvisation and close connection to the grit of the real world but gains a wider, international canvas of political intrigue. It’s never less than compelling and has a special, sad potency as the disappearance of BBC correspondent Alan Johnston now reaches its tenth week.

Damn* that was funny!!!

#23: briseis! ang bilis mo namang maglaho. I was just answering your greeting on the other thread, andito ka na pala!

Even mummummu is here so fast, posting her usual dribble. Her broom must have a jetpack. Nice!

The person who keeps copy/pasting the same review and emails is twokids2. She stopped posting under her own name when someone brought over one of her posts from the Oprah boards.

Can we start posting the good reviews and celebrate what it stands for?

I think people should take what haters say with a grain of salt and sense of humor. No need to get bent out of shape over nonsense. Some of these posters are merely doing their jobs. They don’t like it, it makes them feel like dog ****. However, something got to pay the rent. A troll is a troll, even if it’s $5 dollars an hour.

The film’s strict avoidance of exploitation and sensationalism only adds to the film’s emotional impact. In just a few scenes, Futterman - the acclaimed screenwriter of Capote - digs deeply into Daniel as a journalist and a man. But the film belongs to Jolie. She won an Oscar for 1999’s Girl, Interrupted, but this is by far her best performance, strong and true in every detail from Mariane’s accent (her roots are Dutch and Afro-Cuban) to the strength she shows under fire. Her total immersion in the role keeps the film from getting lost in the rush of details. Even after Daniel’s death and subsequent beheading, Mariane holds Daniel’s spirit close. Jolie sees to it that the humane and haunting A Mighty Heart honors that spirit.

Thank you bdj. Now, this movie critic gets it.

Love Madd thumbing his nose at the paparazzi… ROFL

Hehehehehehe!! The Haters are getting DESPERATE!!

I LOVE IT!!

#161, whoever this person is , is not important.He was not her husband. The only voice that matters is mariane pearl. I am quite sure if mariane was dissatisfied with the finished project she would voice her opinion.

———
Yeah, well maybe that’s why it took Marianne 5 days to respond. She wasn’t that overjoyed either. Ya think?

*****************************************

O.M.G.Who would be overjoyed watching a movie about the murder of her husband. Listen if you don’t like Angelina that’s all well and fine, but you need to gain some perspective. YOU SOUND MENTAL.

@228
I know I shouldn’t but..hey troll she looks happy enough to me.

After the premiere.

No movie based on real life events or people is going to satisfy all of those ‘real’ people depicted, particularly not one with such a sensitive subject matter. I seem to remember some similar ambivalence on the part of those featured in Winterbottoms ‘Welcome to Sarajevo’. It ties in with the old ‘you can’t please all of the people all of the time’ adage. It doesn’t mean that such movies are a failure or that they should not be attempted.

I’m also suspicious as to how this woman’s thoughts have come to light. I have no doubt that these are her true opinions a view she of course is thoroughly entitled to hold. We all know by now that emails are not totally private but the leaking of this one at this time seems a bit too convenient to me.

People calm down how do you no, this e-mail is true.Haters came here with a agenda 1000 times and you fall into it everytime.I’m beguining to think that whe have some persons here who pretend to be fans but are not.
Don’t bring those negative false posts in this thread.
I ‘m live you with your always negative
news with no prove.
Some time I think in the fans is jusjared who bring a minor **** big in the news
Have a nice night.

Estelle I sent you an email, hun. :)

I posted the TDS interview on my blog, just click on my name.

“Ella no es adorada por todos. Es adorada solo en este foro.”
**************************

Which gets a hell of a lot more positive posts than X’s forum, so what does that tell you?

BTW, your Spanish sucks.

The email is not fake, she wrote a similar article about how she didn’t know how to feel towards the film about a month or 2 ago, at that time she wasn’t on the “I hate the film” train. I feel this email is more hurtful towards marianne than anyone involved in the movie.

#228, Possibly, but its many weeks since she’s seen it and no negative word. Bawawaaaaaaaaa!!

Apparently, while Angelina Jolie was on a break from filming “Wanted” in Prague, she paid a visit to a local sex shop.

Now comes word from Mike Walker that Jolie may have a remedy. According to the veteran columnist from the National Enquirer she just took a break from filming her new flick “Wanted” in Prague, visited a sex shop called “Erotic City” and purchased two items - a black leather garter belt and (drum roll please) a black riding crop!
Walker muses, “Since Angelina doesn’t ride horses in her movie, this week’s intriguing gossip question is: If the idea is to whip up a little consensual fun, who’s the whip-ee? Or is the crop simply a decorator accessory destined to hang on a wall?”

When you’re with Brad Pitt, why the hell not, right?

159 lounter | 06/15/2007 at 3:56 pm
At the end of the day she is still America’s Homewrecker.
**************************************

LOL, did she wreck yours??

Why do you fall for this sh*t every time?These obsessed trolls are working overtime to find ANYTHING to put Angelina in a bad light and people keep falling for it.Like that lame-ass Fox story,let me tell you out side the gossip sites main stream America could have cared less about that story!Why must people blow things out of proportion?Just ignore the miserable trolls!

#258, Sorry but some times you just have to let them have it. I feel real good.

Dear ‘DenialisYOUthinkingYOUareNOTfUGLY’ (228) -

MP was overjoyed enough to stand on a dais beside Angelina, praise her and Brad AND THE FILM, attend the premiere, vacation and spend time with Angie, and her son Mad, Brad and the other children for several days. This woman stabbed her in the back. Who knows, maybe she wants to go swimming in the French Riviera with Adam Pearl and Madd as well. This woman sounds half crazy - she might have been a great help - but perhaps the film shows her true colors as well.

I can’t wait to see it when it opens here!! :smile:

INSIDE EDITION was at the premiere and was not asked to sign the document. In fact, Jolie and Brad Pitt were very open about their lives.
http://www.insideedition.com/ourstories/inside_stories/story.aspx?storyid=836

245-Amaya- I will check on my e-mail later.

ROTFLMAO- regarding your ranting about the Fox News- I love your ranting…you are so spot on. I would love to have you e-mail them that.

I love the interview too, he’s so smitten and so genuinely happy to see her. Did you see the part where he was like apologetic to her when he said something part of a joke, but he felt it wasn’t nice, may be…JS last night was more alive with Angie than with his other guests? wonder why…. ;)

Showbiz tonight said that they will have an exclusive interview with Angelina tonight…so Ladies, check your local time and channel.

The movie AMH will do as good at the movies and at award seasons like Babel. This movie has an international casts and it is political. It is something that touches everyone across the globe. It has kicked off mightly well at Cannes and all that’s is left is for it to be released.

I wonder if Angelina Jolie ever regrets her decision to be with Brad Pitt. I mean, I’m sure she would feel guilt for regrets because he is good for the children. He has been horrible for her career and public image. He is a hollywood Pr machine and she doesn’t even have a publicist. He’s too hollywood for her and he never has her back like a real partner would. Hes too worried about his own image and making sure people see him being a daddy.

263 Montserrat
Thanks for the true facts. This person is not a co-writer of “A Mighty Heart”. Trolls are always dropping lies on this site, making up false contacts and attempting to smear people’s characters. However, they forget that fans are more aware, fact based and researchers and do not easily fall for their pitful smear jobs.

Just looked at the Splash video of Brad and Mad. You really have to hand it to Brad. He keeps his same stride, eyes front, doing what he wants to do. I’d love the muscle control it must take to keep Mad on his back like that.

263 Montserrat - thanks for the info. So, this is a case of a colleague who wasn’t featured in the movie? Or someone who didn’t realize the movie wasn’t about Danny but Marianne?

Jolie Lawyer Takes Fall for Media Snafu
The Associated Press
Friday, June 15, 2007; 1:36 PM

NEW YORK — Try to control the media? Not me, says Angelina Jolie.

The star of the new film “A Mighty Heart,” about the widow of slain reporter Daniel Pearl and freedom of the press, says her representatives were trying to protect her when they sought to make media outlets sign an agreement not to ask personal questions during interviews.

from my representatives trying to be protective of me, but it was excessive and I wouldn’t have put it out there. But it’s all right and nobody was forced to do it.”

Jolie spoke candidly about her family at the film’s Manhattan premiere on Wednesday. But media outlets seeking one-on-one interviews, including The Associated Press, were asked to sign a legal document banning certain questions and mandating that any story from the interview must be about the movie.

Requests to sign such documents are rare, but on the rise with the increase of tabloid celebrity coverage. The AP declined to sign Jolie’s agreement, yet was still scheduled to interview Jolie on Friday afternoon.

Jolie’s manager, Geyer Kosinski, and a spokeswoman for the Paramount movie studio did not immediately respond to e-mail messages from the AP seeking comment.

Jolie’s lawyer, Robert Offer, told The New York Times that he blamed himself _ a “boneheaded, overzealous lawyer” for the contract and that Jolie was unaware of the action. The document “was drafted overly broadly,” he said. “It was well intended, but I understand how it was received.”

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/06/15/AR2007061501194.html

Angelina Jolie Says Contract Wasn’t Her Idea

Angelina Jolie is finding herself in a storm of controversy after reporters were given a document to sign at the premiere of her new movie “A Mighty Heart.” The document demanded that Jolie would not be asked “any questions regarding her personal relationships.”

Ironically, the premiere was held to raise money for the organization “Reporters Without Borders,” which champions freedom of the press. In the movie, she plays the wife of slain Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl.

INSIDE EDITION was at the premiere and was not asked to sign the document. In fact, Jolie and Brad Pitt were very open about their lives.

On “The Daily Show,” Jolie said she knew nothing about the document, saying, “I didn’t put it out there, it was a representative trying to be protective and it shouldn’t have happened.”

http://www.insideedition.com/ourstories/inside_stories/story.aspx?storyid=836

I’ve already made up my mind to see this movie. Just as haters have made up their minds not to, for the reasons that they cited repeatedly, redundantly, and ignorantly.

The same with MAMS(twice in the theaters); the same with Babel(twice in the theaters); the same with The Good Shepherd; and the same with O13 (twice, so far).

Fcukers always try to tie some moral high ground in order to dissuade moviegoers from going to the movies. But once upon a time, movies were seen as purveyors of immorality anyway, so I’m steeped in sin and damnation because I love them.

And I can’t quit ‘em! :twisted:

I’m a little late in the day getting here, but really love these pics/vids of Brad and Maddox having some father/son time together. I think it’s great that Brad and Angie make a point of getting some one on one time with each of their children, and I have no doubt that the kids really appreciate it. They are so aware that kids can often feel lost in the crowd in a big family and they do everything they can to give each child what they need. These kids are so lucky to have such wonderful parents!

As for ‘that’s all’s supposition that Angie regrets getting involved with Brad? Ahahahahaha! That is the funniest thing I’ve heard all day! It is so obvious that they both feel this is the best decision they have EVER made - to be together and raise their children. As Angie said recently, they took a leap of faith and were fortunate that they turned out to be everything that they thought the other was. What more do you want?

Joy - saw your shout out a couple of threads back, and no, you are NOT just talking to yourself! I can only speak for myself in saying that I love reading all of the fans’ posts here, whether they are young or old, a new poster or an old poster - I don’t discriminate based on someone’s age, their nationality, language, or whether they’ve been here a long time or not. ALL of the fans of the Jolie-Pitt’s have something worthwhile to say and it saddens me when people are made to feel that their opinion is less important (which is exactly how I think Angie would see it too!). And you shouldn’t be discouraged from expressing your opinion just because it doesn’t follow the ’status quo’ of the other fans either. It’s never stopped Angie and it shouldn’t stop you :-) I just wish I had more time to comment to more of you on how much I enjoy all the awesome posts here.

Pax and hugs…

I never read twokids2 posts, I always skip them. “”"”"”WASTE OF TIME”"”"”"

#202: this film critic is saying Angie is so bigger in life than anybody that even if you hide her in a closet and only hear speaking through the keyhole, you’d still be thinking Angie and not the story.

So I wonder what she wants them to do, recast the movie with some unknown so it doesn’t distract anybody. Maybe then she’ll like it and give it an A+?

Huh?

To the haters who said MP is not pleased with the movie, I wish I knew how to scan the picture that the LA Times has on today in their Business section for their article on AMH (It’s the same one that Lylian posted yesterday). MP was with BP, AJ, DF at the Cannes Festival and she was all smile. Ear to ear smile. So at least the LA Times readers today could see that she is happy how the movie turned out.

MAD IS SO CUTE!

Guys, I am going to bed now, you can be assured that the annoying twokids2 has not been here on this thread yet. Won’t give her the chance. She annoyed me like hell on the last thread.
Good nite.

The trolls work overtime searching the internet for anything negative about Brad and Angelina. There are a million and one positive reviews, bring them on and let’s celebrate these beautiful strong women - MP and Angie.

You mean Angie. Brad rarely gets bad publicity. Angie ALWAYS gets negative publicity.

Dragonfly | 06/15/2007 at 4:52 pm
Oh please. No movie gets all positive reviews, especially one that hits as many touch points for the media as this one. The reviews have been over-whelmingly positive up to now, so it’s to be expected that a few critics won’t like it. In the end, there will be more raves for it than pans, I’m sure. It certainly won’t bomb, which is breaking the haters wittle hearts! haha!! O13’s success is painful enough for them, so they are ultra bitter, the hags.

Asra’s email is poorly timed and in bad taste, IMHO. She sounds like she is projecting her own feelings of loss onto the film, and I am thinking nothing would have made her happy.
=======

ITA. even Titanic , the biggest and the most successful film of our time didn’t get an all positive reviews. But up to now, Positive reviews of AMH still outnumber the negative one. no matter how the haters scrape the bottom of the barrel, the negative review was really a few.
I watch OC13 with my husband yesterday at our local theater. I think OC13 was better than 11 and 13, so funny and entertaining. and the best threequel in this summer.

Jared this isnt funny anymore.
———————————————- You MY DEAR have never been funny, although you think you are, HOOT!

He takes his kids out big deal? why don’t you idots say this nonsense when ben aflack ,Gavin Rosadele, jeniffer garner /she gets pictured almost everyday with her daughter/,Matt damon etc… Why is that a big deal when Brad takes his sons out?
He is a loving dad and he is giving them one on one time. Puls Brad and Angie as much as they can they take there kids from and to school. You just jealous Brad is happy.
