Looks like our favourite couple had a fabulous weekend in Spain - good for them, getting their mommy and daddy time together. I really enjoyed seeing the pics of them scoping the sites - Angie in the driver’s seat and Brad riding shotgun, shooting the sites :-) I just thought that was really sweet and you can see that they encourage each other in their individual pursuits. I think they really appreciate who the other is, and celebrate that. I was also struck by how ironic it was to look at pictures of Brad taking pictures - like two mirrors facing each other where the image is repeated, ad infinitum.

I have to agree with some of the really great posts here tonight (Lolita - you are singing to the choir lady! I am so on the same page as you).

Carmandy - it looks like we both became fans of Angie’s around the same time. I already really enjoyed her acting but, like you, it was when she started her UNHCR work and adopted Maddox that I really started paying attention to what she was doing. I was so struck by her sheer bravery at doing what most women dream of, but never have the gumption to undertake. Having had a similar family situation growing up, she really inspires me to overcome my past. She gives me hope that I too can build my own family and be successful at it, as well as having a success in my career and as a contributing member of my community and the world. Angie’s not just surviving, she’s prospering.

As far as the moviemaking goes, she’s already set out that it will become less of a focus in the future, but we all know that she will be able to pick and choose projects at will and make a solid 10 - 15 million per picture.

Adding onto the current conversation, both Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz are the only 2 women to ever hit the 20 million dollar mark, but that was a few years back and the movie market has changed since then. Any woman making 10 million per picture or over has proven that she is top notch and I think they all should be celebrated for their contributions, be they dramatic or comedic.

What’s more impressive to me, however, is that more women are becoming involved in the production end of movies, which is great because it means that more roles of depth and sincerity will be available in Hollywood for women of ALL ages. Angie will have as long of a career in film as she chooses to have - the sky is the limit for her.

I’ve noticed that those who post hateful remarks about Angie are people who can’t either spell or write well. It just goes to show how narrow-minded and un-educated these people are.

They do give off an unmistakeable, noxious whiff of Eau de Trailer Park, don’t they?

Oprah flies on her private jet from Chicago to LA to her her eye brows done. Now who is wasteful? Angie and Brad would can not fly on a commercial plane, they would get mobbed! I think they are wonderful together and in love. They do not use their children, they definitely love their kids.
Wow, at one time this was a positive site. The haters, bring it down. They must love BA because they bet us here. They looked at the site daily! That sounds like love to me.

Everything we post about BA’s life is all speculation. No one knows about their lives except them. We only see a very small snap shot of their lives.

Okay, I came back about an hour ago - and had to collect my thoughts that I wanted to share…first of all….WOW! She’s as good as they say, and I think she’s better x 10!! The movie was suspenseful, poignant, bittersweet and tragic - Michael Winterbottom did a masterful job. This film will be a wonderful gift to Adam one day, and it’s a great gift to us right NOW - as is Marianne’s book. Now whenever I think about Daniel, I’ll think of his bravery, his smiling even as they took his pic with a gun to his head, his flipping them off, and his comments about his grandfather –

Sherri, I’ll answer your question now…

You wrote, near the end of AMH, right after Danny mentions that he is Jewish and that his mother is Jewish (before he will die),Mariane says that she read something in the fact that Danny mentions the street where his grandfather lived…that it was a positive sign…
does anyone know what she meant by this?
thank you for clarifying.

I think what Marianne meant by that (near the end of the movie), is that - while the kidnappers told him to say, ‘My mother is Jewish, my father is Jewish, and I am Jewish.’ The part that he adds, that they couldn’t have known about him, was HIS OWN - he says that IN Israel there is a street named for his grandfather. She interprets that as Danny not being ‘defeated,’ she says - and whether he knew he was going to die or not - he was fighting back, and he was proud of who he was, and he would die proudly.

SPOILER OFF –

As an Angie fan, I wondered how I would react to her onscreen - would she disappear for me too, as she had for the hundreds of critics and viewers commenting? I have to say, you hear Marianne before you see her — and I bet many critics assumed that it was the REAL Marianne talking…I know that’s what I thought myself…that maybe Marianne did the opening narration or something, LOL! Then when you see her, it’s - you can see the features of Angelina Jolie of course (afterall not too many women are posessed of that kind of beauty), and the camera got in so tight at times - and from a purely esthetic standpoint, you couldn’t help but admire that beautiful flawless skin - but this was just the first few seconds of the film/frame she was in…as soon as she started speaking and ‘being’ - she became Marianne for me, TOTALLY — and never ceased. If a film performance for the Oscar is judged by embodiment of a character, accuracy and degree of difficulty. She should win hands down. I don’t think any other actress alive (maybe Streep) could do what she did.

I totally agree that you start watching this film, and even knowing the tragic outcome, you somehow are hoping that just in the few hours you’re in the film theater, that history might change and Danny will walk through the door. Dan Futterman, played him so effortlessly - the moments with Marianne are so tender and loving.

The end of the film was poignant as well (and I have to get that song they were playing as Marianne and Adam walk down the city streets in Paris).

The cast was amazing, Irfan Khan is magnetic - he’s like the Indian Samuel L Jackson. I want to see him in more things! The WSJ editor that was with Marianne throughout was a great actor, he brought levity to the film. The young woman who played Marianne and Daniel’s friend Asra, was great. Will Patton, who is usually playing the heavy in films, is good.

I loved that this film was a multicultural array of actors - it was great to see a film like this, there was a real flavor for life not as we Americans know it, but how others live it - it gave perspective and realness to the whole drama.

Just a stunning, STUNNING piece of work. Angie should be proud, Brad should be proud of Angie and himself. Marianne should be congratulated most of all. This movie will be seen around the world, far and wide, it is her F.U. to Danny’s murderers…in a way it was genius, get your book made into a movie and cast the most famous actress in the world as you - to make sure everyone hears what you have to say, and what Danny says…she gives Danny more time, shows what he did, and what he said to the….and finally he lives on in Adam Pearl…

It deserves all the accolades and then some, that it will surely be receiving come awards season, and I cannot wait!

______________________________

Now to the ********, I skimmed the posts before posting - number one, I can’t believe that one rambling psychotic mess was from someone who actually works at Faux…I mean he literally sounds too crazy for them.

As for the boxoffice - this film did good - anything less than 4 would have been ‘disappointing,’ over 4 is definitely ‘as expected,’ and spells great things over the next few weeks. But fans be on the lookout for negative SPIN, I’ve seen it already — someone calling AMH a ‘disappointing 10th’ (it’s ONLY on 1300 theaters! How disingenuous can they be? Even IF it had made another million it would have still been 10th!) - the studios estimated that it would come in at 10, as an Indie opening on 1300 theaters in the heat of summer blockbusters - that’s the finish they were hoping for, and they got it, and then some…maybe better. But the negative spinners (some in the media/press) - will be planting things in the media to spin that it was a flop - and will drive home the 10th place thing…when anyone who knows anything about FILM - KNOWS that NOT opening in wide release, means you inevitably will be ranked at 10, near the bottom of 10, or below 10.

The studio needs to counter this trumped up b.s. - and state clearly and unequivocally that it was not. That not only did it perform well as expected or better - that it will no doubt recoup all of it’s financing. If they don’t - this constant nagging and harping might affect those that haven’t seen the film (it’s common that because people assume a film did poorly to stay away…that’s why the obsessed losers here are on a mission - as if, the Brad and Angelina fans would stay away). So do what you can to help and support this film online via message boards and opinion posts elsewhere, as there is a faniston hater movement to tear it down.

Because as the crazed obsessed rabidly hateful faux reporter shows, there are people who are, for their own reasons, making it a mission to go after Angelina in any shape, form, or fashion….you literally have to think they assume she’s running for office, or will amass great power one day. I’ve personally never seen vitriol like it, except for Hilary Clinton.

I think they were able to tolerate the silent 2005-2006 Angelina…they were like, fine - travel the world with Brad and the kids, and give birth to beautiful babies…but the minute she opened her mouth in Vogue, and told of her happiness and satisfaction with her life, and relayed intimate details about life in the JP household…the were like ‘*****! Helllzzzz Noooo!’ I think they think, it’s one thing to ’steal’ Maniston’s man (so THEY think), it’s quite another to relish in the life you have with him. These hateful b*tches are losing their minds….

Oscar talk, just drives them completely over the age. Hahahahahaha! They had gotten used to Angie having Brad’s babies, but oddly enough her being a successful WORKING actress (one reason why they freaked out over the ’stay at home w/ Pax’ misconstrued statement) - and especially her being Oscar nominated, is freaking them the f**k out…it’s literally their worst nightmare.

There are way more misogynistic evil catty b*tches in the press than I ever knew, female AND male.

Most of the minivan segment who can’t stand Angelina, aren’t gonna buy SJK’s clothes, because most likely, they can’t afford them…

AND they can’t fit in them. Too many twinkies and little debbies.
==============
LOL. and this is the segment who beleived voodoo, man are brainless thing that can be stolen, collect and read life and style/Star mag 100x’s per day, So don’t expect them to watch and understand AMH, this is an intelligent film with message, not suited for pea-size brain.

10 Burning Questions for Jay Mohr

Learn this, Jay Mohr. You get your own show, that’s big time. You do Page 2’s 10 Burning Questions, that makes you a star. Just see what we did for “Inside Schwartz,” “Summer Catch” or “The Tick” or … ummm …

Jay Mohr
Anyway, the 32-year-old standup comedian first gained national notice on “Saturday Night Live” before moving on to co-star in Jeff Foxworthy’s sitcom and eventually serving as host of MTV’s “Lip Service.” Mohr made the jump to the big screen with “Jerry Maguire” and spent the next six years on the big screen with roles in “Suicide Kings,” “Go” and “Pay It Forward.” He’ll soon appear in “Simone” with Al Pacino.

Page 2’s Ray Holloman caught up with Mohr to talk about his new sports talk show, “Mohr Sports,” which debuted at 10 Tuesday night on ESPN following a repeat performance of the ESPN movie, “A Season on the Brink.”

Here’s hoping he does as well as the last man who followed Bob Knight.

1. Page 2: When “Mohr Sports” premieres on ESPN, which ESPN trademark are you gonna borrow — **** Vitale’s baldness, Stu Scott’s “boo-yah” or Chris Connelly’s “my jeans don’t quite fit right” vibe?

**** Vitale
Jay Mohr: We, of course, thought of all of those, but we’re trying to stay completely autonomous of ESPN, be a self-contained entity. ESPN original programming has Original in the title, and that’s what we’re trying to do. Down the line, I can’t wait for the NFL draft … Mel Kiper Jr. is just a sketch waiting to happen. But at the moment, we’re not going to get any handouts or help from ESPN. And we mean that in the nicest possible way.

You used to do a **** Vitale impersonation back on “Saturday Night Live.” Have you run into Vitale and run the impression by him?

Mohr: I’ve never met ****. We almost met — one time our appointments were half an hour apart at Pearle. If I ever met him, we’d probably just talk about New Jersey.

2. What’s up with all the comedians flocking to sports stuff these days? You guys are like a Russian hockey player after Anna Kournikova.

Mohr: Except we’re circumcised. But I think it’s a natural progression, given comics are sports fanatics. And yes, fanatics meaning we have a sickness. When you only work an hour a night at Uncle Chucky’s Spuckle Hut in Idaho, you watch a lot of SportsCenter.

3. Who should we put money on to be the first guy to go Chris Evert on you, as Jim Everett did with your buddy Jim Rome?

Mohr: I don’t know, but I do know that there’ll be counterpunches thrown, because the cameras are there and I’m not gonna get laughed at.

And when I say that, I am not criticizing Jim (Rome). People think that Jim was just being a jerk, but he got the Chris Evert idea from guys on the Rams, who said he should call him Chris Evert and see how it evolves. Jim’s a pretty sharp guy, he wasn’t trying to start anything, he was just being a host.

4. As a lifelong Knicks fan and an actor on the “in” in Hollywood, we here at Page 2 were hoping you could solve a little mystery for us. Was Jeff Van Gundy the inspiration for Bill Murray’s hairstyle in “Kingpin”?

Mohr: I think we all wonder that. But the one thing you can say about Van Gundy is he doesn’t have hair in a can. Gene Keady has black wooden spray in a can. You can actually go to the vaults of ESPN and see him practically without hair, and now look at him.

Jeff Van Gundy
5. What’s more degrading, pretending to be Ricki Lake or pretending to be related to Jeff Foxworthy’s brother on the sitcom “The Jeff Foxworthy Show”?

Mohr: Doing Ricki Lake … what made that degrading was getting undressed between skits pretty much in front of the crowd. I had to do a switch over from Ricki Lake to Tony Bennett, and there was no time to take off the costume in private, so they just strip you like at Maaco, on the side of the stage. People were leaning over the railing looking down. I only had two minutes to do it. So you’re just standing there in stockings and a wig, and people are staring at you.

Haley Joel Osment appeared in that show seven years ago. What was he, like an embryo?

Mohr: He’s actually 33 years old now, so he was 25 at the time. He’s fully grown and a graduate of Brown University, where he wrestled in the 45-pound weight class. He won by forfeit. I will say though, that kid knows how to take a punch. I gave him all I had, and he barely wobbled.

Bill Murray
We’re not saying that it was a bad show or anything, but did you ever get to thinking, “You might be on a dead-end sitcom if …”?

Mohr: The longest sitcom in the world is about 10 years, so everything is perspective. I would’ve been thrilled to play Jeff Foxworthy’s little brother for 10 years then. But now, I’ve got no interest in TV. I was coming from “SNL,” where I felt like I wasn’t being utilized at all. And suddenly I’m in every show, making five times as much … it was all a bet I made and I’m fine with it. Of course, if I was interested in doing that now, it would probably mean that I had a crack problem.

6. You recently finished filming “Simone,” with Al Pacino. How cool is it to work with Al Pacino? Is there anybody in Hollywood who has a bigger wow! factor than Michael freakin’ Corleone?

Mohr: Tom Cruise. When you meet Tom Cruise, you realize that there is nothing Tom Cruise could do for a living other than be the biggest star in the world. If Tom Cruise pumped gas at a Chevron station in Wisconsin, he would still be a movie star.

Al Pacino
“Jerry Maguire” was my first film, and there I am sitting across from Tom Cruise, having to fire him. I’m just hoping to get lines right. By the time I got to working with Pacino, the intimidation factor was gone. Being intimidated erodes on “SNL,” because every week there’s some big star entirely on your turf. It’s somebody like Kurt Cobain or John Malkovich asking such simple stuff like where to get food or a pencil … and that prepares you for not drooling when you meet Al Pacino.

But the best part of working with Pacino was while we were filming the Oscars, and we had about 1,000 extras in Long Beach Convention Center, and Al walks in and asks in this huge loud voice, “Is that moron Jay Mohr still here?” I knew I had made it then.

Eddie Murphy is still the most intimidating person I’ve ever worked with. During breaks in filming, comedians tell jokes to kill the time. What the hell joke are you going to tell Eddie Murphy? I just started reading from “The Old Man and The Sea.”

7. You were on the wrestling team in high school. How soon do wrestlers learn the “Oh, my hand really wasn’t there, think of two pillows, two pillows” move?

Tom Cruise
Mohr: You have to keep this in mind — and I’d like to once and for all put this on the record — that when you’re wrestling another man, as gay as you may look and as close as you may get to another guy, your whole motivation is that you’re going to kick his ass. Every place your arm, your hand or your face may go, it’s all to make that guy go flat on his back like a fish in front of his parents.

8. You were in “Jerry Maguire” as evil agent extraordinaire Bob Sugar. Do you and your manager have a relationship like that?

Mohr: My manager and I are like an old married couple. Barry Katz. He signed me at 18, so it’s kind of incestuous, but not in that Celine Dion kind of way.

You are aware that, shortly after defending your manliness in the wrestling question, you became the first person in the history of 10 Burning Questions to compare themselves to Celine Dion.

Celine Dion
Mohr: Yikes. My wife and I were sitting at home and watching Celine Dion, and realized that we’re the same age but, damn, she looks a little raggedy. Celine Dion looks like Sigourney Weaver on a two-week crack binge … and then she married her agent. The guy looks like Santa. She married him, and then said she had known him since she was 12. Do I need to know that? That means he was … yech. My question is where was her publicist on that one. Publicists are supposed to make things sound good. The guy you married, you knew each other when you were 12, that doesn’t put good mental pictures together.

Now being the veritable stud factory that Page 2 is, we know what this is like, but for the rest of America, what was it like on the set of Jerry Maguire, hanging out with a guy in Tom Cruise that every woman you met wanted to sleep with?

Mohr: The amazing thing about Tom Cruise is what a great guy he is on the set, how he’s nice to everyone and just a professional. In the morning when he comes in, he knows everyone’s name. He always has a smile on his face. And whether he’s dealing with a co-star or a grip or a fluffer, they all get the same treatment.

And to answer America’s big two questions:

(1) He’s not gay.

Jennifer Aniston
(2) He’s 5-9. I know people want to say otherwise, but I was with him every day for four months. “But my cousin was in this massage parlor in Rio once and …” or “a friend of a cousin saw him.” He’s 5-9 and he’s straight, deal with it. And if he did come out of the closet, every guy in America would breathe a huge sigh of relief that he’s off the market.

9. So you starred in “Picture Perfect” with Jennifer Aniston. With the exception of “Office Space,” what’s more likely to last longer, a movie starring a “Friends” cast member or the last bag of Doritos after a Cowboys party at Nate Newton’s house?

Mohr: I really loved working with Tom Cruise.

526 from newsweek | 06/25/2007 at 1:14 am
Do you feel you and Angelina have shaped each other’s worldviews?
We have very passionate conversations. [Laughs.] I always learn from her, and I never walk out of a conversation with Angie without learning something. She doesn’t acknowledge borders so much, and neither do I. It’s a voluntary view of the world. She’s capable of respecting other cultures while remaining herself.
What was your reaction when she said she wanted to play you?
She didn’t ask me. I asked her.

Really?
We had talked a lot and shared a lot of things. We had known each other for about a year, and I just felt that she understood my heart. That is what I wanted. I thought, “If somebody is going to play me, I don’t care that she looks like me.” It’s about something much more important. I asked her because I trusted her.

I heard that Brad and Angelina’s daughter, Zahara, has a crush on him.
[Laughs.] Definitely. Which is really cool, because I love Z. They look very cute together. It’s perfect.
***************************************************************
Thank you for posting Mariane’s Newsweek interview. They had an abbreviated version in the magazine. Loved the quotes above. Especially about Z & Adam. Too cute!
