Brad & Angelina @ ‘Darfur Now’ Premiere
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, in matching white buttondown shirts, attend the premiere and advanced screening of Darfur Now at the Dag Hammarskjoeld Auditorium at the United Nations on Thursday in New York City.
Written and directed by Ted Braun, Darfur Now explores the continued conflict in Sudan through the experiences of six people. The film will open in theaters this nationwide November 2.
Says Variety, “Conscientiously upbeat and shiny, “Darfur Now” takes a tactical approach in addressing the ongoing African genocide: Present the appallingly grim situation in Sudan through the rosy lens of activism and political awakening. Star wattage provided by Don Cheadle and George Clooney could draw audiences unfamiliar with the crisis, while slowly increasing awareness might translate into ticket sales and letters of outrage to congressmen.”

Thank you Jared. here is review of Brad’s film. Can’t wait to see it

One Spy Considers Himself Lucky To Have Seen THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES BY THE COWARD ROBERT FORD!
Hey, everyone. ”Moriarty” here.
I plan to write about this film this week, but I’ve got two others to post first. Still, I’m looking forward to finally getting into my thoughts on this one, and I know that not everyone’s loving this, but I’m excited to have the conversation with people who do and people who don’t alike.
For now, check out this spy’s passionate report on the film:
Dear AICN Crew,
I was lucky enough to see THE ASSASINATION OF JESSE JAMES BY THE COWARD ROBERT FORD last night and I wanted to write in to express a few thoughts. I want to emphasize that this is less of a film review and more of an announcement because this film is a watershed moment for two people: Andrew Domink and Casey Affleck. This is simply one geek talking to a room full of geeks about some **** that they need to understand. Over the coming months as we wade into awards season, you will hear a lot about the performances that Brad Pitt and Casey Affleck give in this film, and more about them later, but the man that I want to bring to your attention is Andrew Dominik.
Many of you are probably familiar with or have at least heard of his first feature CHOPPER which introduced Eric Bana to the Hulk makers and Munich makers of the world. But here we have Andrew’s American debut, and for a second feature, the sure hand with which he directs this film is scary good. Each and every performance in this film, no matter how small, is significant and powerful. I was flattened by the strength of the smaller roles –Sam Shepard, Paul Schneider, Mary-Louise Parker, Zooey Deschanel, Garret Dillahunt – Flattened. And that credit has to go to Andrew for both his ability to cast the picture and then to go out and get the very specific moments that he needed. For example, I am convinced that Zooey was hired for one look. ONE LOOK that she gives Casey Affleck after they have their pictures taken. Dominik and Deschanel went out there and nailed her entire performance which is very short but extrememly important in Robert Ford’s character progression throughout the film.
Then there are the three main roles, Dominik’s masterwork – Pitt, Affleck, and Sam Rockwell. No one mentions Rockwell when they’re talking about this film and I don’t know why. He plays Charley Ford and every strength that you’ve ever admired him for in other films is on display here. He’s the funny brother and the more trustworthy brother and the more mature of the Ford brothers and because of this, he’s asked to carry the powder keg of Jesse James around with him always afraid that it’s about to blow up in his face. The way that he laughs at Jesse’s jokes while being deathly afraid of the man is complex. It’s almost as complex as Affleck’s performance and there are times when I think that Charley is the more cowardly of the two brothers just because Affleck’s character is so naively sure of himself. For a fan of the Brad Pitt we came to love in movies like SE7EN, 12 MONKEYS, and FIGHT CLUB, he has returned. This time, however, he’s older and more mature. There’s pain behind Pitt’s eyes now and I can see why he won the actor’s award in Venice . He is the revered man that Jesse James was and carries the same burdens. And we can imagine that he allows a little of that poison to seep into his veins as he’s playing this part. He’s crazy and ready to go off at anytime. The only thing that seems to hold Jesse together is his family, the only group of people that he knows won’t betray him. There is a moment in which Pitt and Rockwell stand at the edge of a frozen pond, all alone in the whole world, and Pitt just says, “Have you ever thought about suicide?” And we know that the thought doesn’t just cross his mind, it plagues him with every breath he takes.
What this does for Andrew Dominik, it will also do for Casey Affleck. This film will have the same ripple effect for him that Dominik’s first film had for Bana. You will not believe the intricacy that he brings to this role and the trust that Dominik must have put in him to become so sickly twisted. He is a geek. Robert Ford is a Jesse James geek and he cannot handle the fact that he is sitting with his idol. He’s like the sickening version of the SNL Chris Farley character saying, “Remember that time when you robbed that train? That was cool.” In close-up after close-up, Affleck goes from one end of his character’s spectrum to the other, and we see it all slide across his sick yellow smile in such a sweet character turn as we don’t often see.
Besides Andrew’s work, congratulations must be given to Plan B and Scott Free for putting together an amazing crew that includes Roger Deakins work, Dylan Tichenor and Curtiss Clayton’s work, Nick Cave and Warren Ellis. This is like a dream team of people you would want to work on a western drama. Don’t know who these people are? IMDB them and you will **** your pants.
THE ASSASINATION OF JESSE JAMES BY THE COWARD ROBERT FORD is the best film that I’ve seen this year and I look forward to Andrew Dominik’s next.

Why are you guys falling for this little rat and their game. It done this in the other threads and is here to ruin this one. It is not a fan of either of them and is here just to rile fans up because it knows it can. Ignore it or have fun with the little rat but getting annoyed by it is exactly what it came here for.
———————————————
Preach it!!! AMEN!!!
brought over from previous thread….
It’s good see Angie out supporting the UN and Darfur once again - hope while she is not filming next year that we get to see her doing more UN work. Maybe even taking Zahara to see her birth place since she hasn’t been there since her adoption.
“Brad and Angie are working very hard. I think they are taking every opportunity to earn money while they are still HOT and very much in demand.”
LOL
Love this couple!!
Thanks JJ, and thanks Meli.
They support and love each other in every way.
SHE DOES NOT LOOK HAPPY. SHE LOOKS LIKE SHE’S THINKING GOSH DAMN GET THIS GUY OFF MY ASS… HE’S ALWAYS RIGHT THERE. :lol: SHE ALSO LOOKS LIKE SHE NEEDS A NAP AND A NEW STYLIST.
ANYWAY, ANGELINA IS ALWAYS DOING SOMETHING POSITIVE WITH HER TIME SO WHO CARES WHAT SHE’S WEARING. SHE ‘S COOL.

Wahlberg could kick his a$$ in nothing flat!

I’m with Just Lookin’…she/he is right on! I still say Mark could kick his butt!
TAOJJ is rating 84% so far on rottentomatoes.com.
I’d hate to see what rating Jenzilla’s movie will get, but I’d imagine somewhere in the low to middle 20’s.

Thanks Jared for the new thread and pictures. They look great.
TP Hows life treating you? I’m getting kicked by this cold! May not be on long, took something so I can breath and sleep. Two good things to be able to do! lol How long have you had yours? Glad to hear your coming out of it!

LOL you got caught. Posting under different names. LOL
Honey you don”t know what real women want.
Of course marky Mark could kick brad pitt’s ass. he’s an ex gang banger and he’s tough. Brad is a wimpy old momma’s boy.
Old enough to know that I could probably kick his a$$ too and most of my friends could too
I personaly believe that this film relates to such an important cause. I applaude Don Cheadle’s hard work, courage and committment to this. I can’t wait to see this movie and read his book. I hope that everyone makes an effort to do the same and it inspires people to act as creating awareness is not enough these days if it doesn’t promt behavioural changes in people. Thanks for bringing this to light Jared. Peace.
Angelina looks beautiful. I love them because they are always doing something productive with their time. Sounds like a good film as well. Glad to see them hanging out more with just them.
Also does Angelina still look pregnant to anyone? Because she doesn’t look pregnant to me in those pictures.
They both look so tired, they need to slow down a bit plus taking care of 4 kids that’s really hand full. I hope, they will take time to relax & rest for a while, so many red carpet & premieres for them these past few days. I love to see their pictures but for some reason, I want them to lay low & have their privacy & enjoy their kids.
Thanks for the new thread Just Jared. It is good to see a web site shine the spotlight on a terrible crisis in the world such as the situation in Darfur. It is good to read up on BP and AJ projects, their humanitarian work and their careers without all the nasty gossip and slanderous BS. The Darfur Now film sounds interesting. It is good to see celebrities support the effort for peace and relief in the area. Keep up the good work Just Jared. Peace to all.
My first post. I normally just look and read the thread but can’t help but comment how these two great actors are an inspiration to me and I just adore the whole Jolie-Pitt Clan.
Hello to all the fans.
Brad looked so gorgeous and very sweet on GMA. Specially when he said Angie is amazing, his expression is the sweetest. Love him more and more.
I am so proud to be a fan of both Angie and Brad. They are such wonderful and inspiration people, and truly believe in the causes that they take on. Way go Brad and Angie.
Please, can´t we just enjoy this thread and pics without the haters here all the time?…I know I´m dreaming…
I love how dedicated Brad and Angie are to the causes they support and care.
All the teenagers and old ladies have the hots for both of these fakes

I feel you. There is nothing more irritating than not being able to breath when you sleep. It’s the worst thing!! I have it for five days but it’s slowly goes away now. I was coughing a lot and I had fever. But now I’m fine. Are you able to sleep now??
Don Cheadle is another celebrity that I truly admire and respect. He is a great actor and a great humanitarian. He is another person that truly believe in the causes that he takes on and not only walk the walk but talk the talk as well.
They both look lovely together!!
So sweet.

ITA. How sad that there are women who would not want that from their man.
Angie and Brad bring out the best in each other and contribute to the world in a positive way. You can see how happy and fulfilled they both are. Angie has an Oscar, btw, so she doesn’t need to prove anything professionally, you jealous hags. She can devote herself to charitable causes if she wants to. It’s the other gal who’ll be cranking up rom-coms when she’s 50, still sitting around in her Goddess Circle, examining her navel. I pity her.

angelina ’s face looks different :botox alert!
61 Pinay Sam —welcome to BAMPZSville!!!! I hope you post more often, just ignore the haters :-)
tres’hot—and where have you been??? We missed you!
Sheri—If Jared will stop with the new threads I think you can see that we are playing tag team :-) I see you post I respond and voila our buddy posts a new thread, not that I am complaining :-) Sorry to hear about your cold, I have one as well :-(
WOW—all of my favorite posters are here Krung, the real lou, alex, tp, sharon..
Yooo where is LA, AG, PT, estelle, coal, senior, andro, and many more. OK, I set my alarmand I will watch part 2 tomorrow :-)
Such a good- looking couple….
Looking good!
In the news today was about the flight of Iraq refugees, so many things happening around the world, journalists are giving some needed exposure about these people, in part, thanks to Ange for being there & let the people know that refugees even in Iraq needs help. Darfur is one place that is closer to Ange & Brad’s heart. I hope, people take noticed of their flight. More power to Brad & Ange, I hope after L.A. premiere, they will relax & rest. They’ve been really working hard lately.
Thank you JJ for the new thread. You out done yourself again. you’re cool man. I love these couple on how they support each other on their work, their beliefs and as a parent. GOD BLESS THEM!
WOW!!! TALK ABOUT BURNING THE CANDLE AT BOTH ENDS THIS WEEK. THEY MAKE US ALL LOOK LIKE SLACKERS.
DO THEY EVER SLEEP?
This pic is so cute of Angie and Zee idk where they are i think they are at the mall…thats what it looks like to me then again idk….and another thing whats is up with these giant bags that angie has been carring around latly…..anyway here is the pic…hope it works…and i just keep blabbing on…..LOL!

I am so proud to be Angie fan. At a young age of 26, she decided her life philosophy needed a new direction. She became less self-absorbed and became a humanitarian and a single mother. She focused her life on alleviating other’s pains and ills rather than perpetuating her energy toward self-gratification.
While her haters constantly focus their attention on her teen and early 20’s years, she has transformed herself into this selfless, kind-hearted, beautiful woman.
I am sure Brad is kicking himself silly that he gets to go home to her. He doesn’t deserve someone as amazing as her, and he knows it. That’s why he is doing darnest to support her in every way. Average folks cannot comprehend someone like Angie, so media keeps one-dimensional folks happy by writing endless cartoonish fictionalized version of Angie. Unfortunately, I have to read trolls messages in this site that proves my point about the tabloid’s focus audience–one-dimensional folks who cannot comprehend someone as complex as Angie.
She needs to do something about those massive folds around her mouth and nose. It’s ruining her face.
Angie bring out the best of Brad ! GReat couple !
He doesn’t deserve someone as amazing as her, and he knows it.

Hey Sheri saw you reply on both thread, glad you are doing okay and that it’s a happy busy that is keeping you away from Jared.
I enjoyed the GMA clip, Brad is one of the most charming , down to earth celeb. When you read his past interviews, he always talks about “sadness” I think even in one of his interviews after he split with Paltrow he went even deeper, I wonder if Brad has ever suffered from depression. Cause he has always talked about this. I also realized watching this interview and some of his interviews for Jessie James promo, that Brad is truly proud and touched to with this film because of the connection to where he grew up. He called it “home”. I think he said he was suprised how much that meant to him. I think the interview was sweet, and I perfer Diane Sawyer than Ann Curry. I think Brad likes Diane Sawyer also.
90 pat- Well said. Thanks for posting.
Guli- I’m here, but I’m leaving soon, so it’s your watch now. :)
Alex- The trolls are out in full force ;) (*whisper* I think we only have 1 troll with multiple IDs, don’t tell her, I don’t think she knows that we know, she responses to her own post…so funny and of course pathetic)…hahahaha

LOL. so true. Wasn’t it sad at almost 40’s , still competing with the like of Alba, Biel, Simpson and Heigl for the girl friend role in rom-com. And still had to parade those sagging boob, butt and crotch for public attention, even Alba and Biel have shy away from those tricks.
Cate Blanchet was the same age with X , in fact 6 months younger, an Oscar awardee, multiple Oscar nomination, Mother of 2, and the next Meryl Streep.I pity Maniston .
90 pat
+++++++++
What the fuc*k you are talking about? Brad doesn’t deserve Angelina, LMAO. Brad is way better than Angelina, she doesn’t deserve the most amazing and fantastic man Brad. She is nobody without Brad. Wait to see what she is going to do when Brad dumps her. She probably is even more miserable than JA.

This video is by screamingangieX and its clips of the movie True Woman… Now i love this video its so good i first saw it a JJB LOVE ANGELINA posted it but im not sure if she posted on any of the past threads…so here it is.
UN Staff- may be your position is not important enough that you didn’t get the memo or the invitation to the advance screening?. Bitter much? your face is all green…muahahahahaha.

One Spy Considers Himself Lucky To Have Seen THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES BY THE COWARD ROBERT FORD!
Hey, everyone. ”Moriarty” here.
I plan to write about this film this week, but I’ve got two others to post first. Still, I’m looking forward to finally getting into my thoughts on this one, and I know that not everyone’s loving this, but I’m excited to have the conversation with people who do and people who don’t alike.
For now, check out this spy’s passionate report on the film:
Dear AICN Crew,
I was lucky enough to see THE ASSASINATION OF JESSE JAMES BY THE COWARD ROBERT FORD last night and I wanted to write in to express a few thoughts. I want to emphasize that this is less of a film review and more of an announcement because this film is a watershed moment for two people: Andrew Domink and Casey Affleck. This is simply one geek talking to a room full of geeks about some **** that they need to understand. Over the coming months as we wade into awards season, you will hear a lot about the performances that Brad Pitt and Casey Affleck give in this film, and more about them later, but the man that I want to bring to your attention is Andrew Dominik.
Many of you are probably familiar with or have at least heard of his first feature CHOPPER which introduced Eric Bana to the Hulk makers and Munich makers of the world. But here we have Andrew’s American debut, and for a second feature, the sure hand with which he directs this film is scary good. Each and every performance in this film, no matter how small, is significant and powerful. I was flattened by the strength of the smaller roles –Sam Shepard, Paul Schneider, Mary-Louise Parker, Zooey Deschanel, Garret Dillahunt – Flattened. And that credit has to go to Andrew for both his ability to cast the picture and then to go out and get the very specific moments that he needed. For example, I am convinced that Zooey was hired for one look. ONE LOOK that she gives Casey Affleck after they have their pictures taken. Dominik and Deschanel went out there and nailed her entire performance which is very short but extrememly important in Robert Ford’s character progression throughout the film.
Then there are the three main roles, Dominik’s masterwork – Pitt, Affleck, and Sam Rockwell. No one mentions Rockwell when they’re talking about this film and I don’t know why. He plays Charley Ford and every strength that you’ve ever admired him for in other films is on display here. He’s the funny brother and the more trustworthy brother and the more mature of the Ford brothers and because of this, he’s asked to carry the powder keg of Jesse James around with him always afraid that it’s about to blow up in his face. The way that he laughs at Jesse’s jokes while being deathly afraid of the man is complex. It’s almost as complex as Affleck’s performance and there are times when I think that Charley is the more cowardly of the two brothers just because Affleck’s character is so naively sure of himself. For a fan of the Brad Pitt we came to love in movies like SE7EN, 12 MONKEYS, and FIGHT CLUB, he has returned. This time, however, he’s older and more mature. There’s pain behind Pitt’s eyes now and I can see why he won the actor’s award in Venice . He is the revered man that Jesse James was and carries the same burdens. And we can imagine that he allows a little of that poison to seep into his veins as he’s playing this part. He’s crazy and ready to go off at anytime. The only thing that seems to hold Jesse together is his family, the only group of people that he knows won’t betray him. There is a moment in which Pitt and Rockwell stand at the edge of a frozen pond, all alone in the whole world, and Pitt just says, “Have you ever thought about suicide?” And we know that the thought doesn’t just cross his mind, it plagues him with every breath he takes.
What this does for Andrew Dominik, it will also do for Casey Affleck. This film will have the same ripple effect for him that Dominik’s first film had for Bana. You will not believe the intricacy that he brings to this role and the trust that Dominik must have put in him to become so sickly twisted. He is a geek. Robert Ford is a Jesse James geek and he cannot handle the fact that he is sitting with his idol. He’s like the sickening version of the SNL Chris Farley character saying, “Remember that time when you robbed that train? That was cool.” In close-up after close-up, Affleck goes from one end of his character’s spectrum to the other, and we see it all slide across his sick yellow smile in such a sweet character turn as we don’t often see.
Besides Andrew’s work, congratulations must be given to Plan B and Scott Free for putting together an amazing crew that includes Roger Deakins work, Dylan Tichenor and Curtiss Clayton’s work, Nick Cave and Warren Ellis. This is like a dream team of people you would want to work on a western drama. Don’t know who these people are? IMDB them and you will **** your pants.
THE ASSASINATION OF JESSE JAMES BY THE COWARD ROBERT FORD is the best film that I’ve seen this year and I look forward to Andrew Dominik’s next.

103 To UN Staff : 09/20/2007 at 8:56 pm
100 UN staff- liar, this is a movie screening. Photographer and press people are all there….please check your “work” source more carefully before putting your arses in your mouth…
==================================================
Well said!
I was going to call this liar out too, then thought, why? Anyone with an active brain cell knows the UN want the information to get out and indeed invited the press.
i see the one troll is back trying to get the fans fighting with each other-it is so obvious-oh by the way there were no comments on that jen thread-no fans,no hits,no MAN-
To 104. Do you even know where the UN is and what it entails to get there? Ask any New Yorker and they will tell how pissed off our security measures make them during this time of year? This is a private screening. The DHL Auditorium is a tiny facility.
Just goes to show how ignorant her fans are, worshipping blindly.
When George Clooney comes to the UN, you can bet UN staff are out in full force to meet him and have pictures taken. You never see those pictures in these blogs because he does NOT bring celebrity photographers. Jay-Z, we waited an hour for him to finish his press conference. Roger Federer, we snuck into the meeting to hear him speak. Even Michael Douglas gets more attention from Staff. I don’t know of any of my co-workers who’ve ever bothered to wait for your hypocrite box-office flop idol.

I like your comment usually but you don,t have to comment if people write about Brad, that do not meet your belief. Like you jump on QQQQ the other time. Sometimes is better to let others have opinion, without comment. I love Angie/Brad but hardly comment.

Hiya Estelle, whether it is one troll posting under multipy names or more than one, they are way to stupid. I don’t pay them any attention, they are not worth my time or energy lol
ANGIE WORKS FOR THE UN,IN CASE YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN,GEORGE CLOONEY AND JAY-Z DON’T -HOW MANY TIMES HAVE THEY BEEN TO THE UN COMPARED TO ANGIE-AND BY THE WAY YOU CAN’T PROVE YOU WORK FOR THE UN SO STOP POSING HONEY,OH AND I GUESS BRAD WASN’T THERE,SINCE YOU SO CONVIENTLY LEFT HIM OUT-LOL
love these two. they seem to bring out the very best in one another. also people who claim to dislike them spend a lot of time commenting on them, i guess they(brad and angelina) even bring out the passion in negative people.
That’s one of the reasons why Angelina is so amazing: she cares about world affairs, politics and the less fortunate people in the world. I like people like that.
Wonderful article. Brad’s own words.
http://www.corrieretandem.com/viewstory.php?storyid=7688
Some excerpts-
Brad Pitt talked to press about The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford when he was in Toronto.
How do you feel having won the Best Actor award in Venice for your role?
“I was stunned. I just got the call a few minutes ago from my producers who are still in Venice. I was in the room with Angie when the call came. My first reaction was, ‘Huh?’ I did not expect it. It’s a great honour. I am honoured to be part of the list of actors who won this award. I’m still processing this. It’s particularly rewarding considering Assassination took three years to make.”
How do you respond to rumours that you and Angelina are having problems?
“That’s crazy. Angelina is my love, my partner and the mother of my children. We’re a normal family — a mother, a father and kids.”
Are you ready for more kids?
“Yes, we’re ready for another. The kids are fantastic and they sometimes get unruly and say the funniest things I’ve ever heard. Man, they’re the funniest people I’ve ever met. It’s strange the chaos they cause. We move into a hotel room and boom! It’s external chaos, but it’s the eye of the storm, too, because it’s actually very calm. It’s calming to me.”
So how do you and Angelina maintain stability?
“The most important thing is to make sure we carve out our time for the kids. We give them group time and one-on-one time, because it’s our responsibility to help shape them. So it’s fatherhood and family first, and then we slip into work. Angelina and I try to carve out time for ourselves, too, but if something’s got to go, it’s usually that time.”
Are you happy?
“Definitely. We’re working on things we’re interested in. Family first, which makes work more enjoyable. The family frees me, so I’m more relaxed when I work.”
What drives you to promote charitable causes such as fighting poverty and hunger in the developing world?
“I feel it’s incumbent on all of us to lend a hand if we can. When I’ve traveled, I’ve wandered off the beaten path and once you meet people and hear their stories there’s just no way not to want to help. I know of no greater feeling than knowing you’ve affected someone’s life.”

Clint Eastwood also says that his family comes first.
HERE’S HARRY KNWOLES REVIEW OF AOJJ(Published on 9/4/07- 4:41pm)
—————————————————————
Harry witnesses THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES BY THE COWARD ROBERT FORD!
There are few tales told with the somber bittersweet taste of melancholy, like that of THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES BY THE COWARD ROBERT FORD.
Why submit to a tale of melancholy – a film where you know right from the out start… Jesse James will be shot, in the back, by the coward Robert Ford.
Everyone knows that part of the story. It’s widely known that Bob Ford shot Jesse James while he was dusting or adjusting a photograph in his own living room. However, do you know why Robert Ford pulled that trigger? Do you know how well they knew each other, that Bob loved Jesse James more than any other person on the planet – and that there’s a lot more to the story than that eventual act of cowardice – which could be interpretated as an act of mercy, an act of self-defense or just an error in judgment… a mistake.
It is a very interesting time we live in where I’ve just seen one of the best Westerns since the death of the Genre with 3:10 TO YUMA – to then be faced by the exact sort of masterful Western that killed the genre altogether.
In the late 1960’s and 70’s – a genre of western came about that ignored the Penny Dreadfuls, the myths and the legends – and instead of the John Ford or Howard Hawks Western take – there became a new way of making westerns. They were Westerns that new they were dying. Films like THE WILD BUNCH and THE PROFESSIONALS were the first signs… They were the brutal westerns where your friends died and the good guys and the bad guys started to become… well, less clearly defined. Then came the Westerns that ceased to look like anything we’ve seen before – no – not ZACHARIAH or EL TOPO – though those definitely count. No – I’m talking about films like JEREMIAH JOHNSON, A MAN CALLED HORSE, THE BALLAD OF CABLE HOGUE or PAT GARRETT & BILLY THE KID and THE LONG RIDERS.
These were films about the sad reality of legends. It all sort of culminated with UNFORGIVEN – they underlined that the old west was a beautifully ugly world. The whores were no longer Marlene Dietrich, but women that’d gut you as easily as the men. The photography and the scores for the westerns became arty and obscure. They ceased to be about characters you could root for and get behind, and became about how we’re all alone on this world and we’re all going to die badly… oh… and there’s no such thing as a hero.
THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES BY THE COWARD ROBERT FORD is a brilliant western in that crowd. I love these films – just as I love the mythic westerns. But with this film in particular – it isn’t so much about demystifying the myth of Jesse James – as much as punctuating how tragic and sad the end of that myth was.
My favorite all time Jesse James on film is currently Brad Pitt. There’s a wild rabid dog in his eyes – there’s moments when he’s a nightmare and yet you could see why people would like him. Don’t get me wrong – I love James Keach and Tyrone Power. This particular story was done very well by director Samuel Fuller with his I SHOT JESSE JAMES, as Sam’s very first film to direct. Even James Dean played Jesse on Walter Cronkite’s amazing show, “YOU ARE THERE” – and I have to wonder what that was. I’d love to see it – just because James Dean was very definitely an actor – not unlike Brad Pitt in technique and style. But Brad’s Jesse James is a squirrelly character. He observes the room he’s in, studying anyone in it and their every move. And everyone else reacts to him – as if he’s a rattlesnake. They become still and cautious. There’s respect and fear. Nobody wants to get bit, but they all know if they spend too long with him, it’ll be an inevitability.
However, as great as Brad is as Jesse James – the actor to watch and marvel at in this film is Casey Affleck.
I know – that sounds astonishing, but it is absolutely the god’s own truth. Casey Affleck delivers the single best performance that I’ve seen thus far this year. His Robert Ford is a reprehensible little worm. There’s something about the way he plays this character that makes you want to stand up from your seat and slap the ***** around then hit him with a ******* shovel. He’s vile and disgusting. But on the surface, he’s just a nice unassuming guy. You would never really notice him. It might be that we all know he’s going to shoot Jesse James. And this story is very much about why that act was such a vile betrayal.
Casey’s Bob Ford is young. He hero worships Jesse James. The line in the trailer, “Do you want to know me or be me?” is so icky in the film, because Casey is watching. Casey’s smile is so disingenuine as to make my skin crawl. It literally gave me the heebie jeebies.
However – this is all distracting the real star of the film… Andrew Dominik. We last saw him with CHOPPER – an utterly brilliant film which birthed Eric Bana on to the scene. The two films are pretty far apart, but essentially a similar tale. Wild Rabid Dogs of the human variety facing betrayal and an end to their reign of terror. But in CHOPPER it was stark reality. Here, it is poetic. There is brutality, but it punctuates the beauty of existence, which you could say is reality. We live in a beautiful world that is punctuated by ugliness. When you watch this film – it’s impossible to not be intoxicated by how beautiful it is. Roger Deakins is a shoo-in for a nomination at least for his work here.
Then there’s the melancholic thread punctuated by the beautiful musical work of Nick Cave and Warren Ellis. If you loved Nick’s brilliant work on THE PROPOSITION – he is again at the top of his game here. That score in conjunction with the narration provided by someone named Hugh Ross… well it gives the film a feeling of impending doom. Any smile or laughter you see are momentary hiccups on the tragedy that is inevitable. Any hope is ended by the deliberate nature of the score and Hugh’s deliberate and slightly sad narration.
All of this combines to make a masterful tragic film. This is a brilliant film. http://www.aintitcool.com/node/33899

TWO TEENAGERS IN LOVE.
HAVING A MELTDOWN BECAUSE ANGIE HAS A FAMILY WITH BRAD-ALL THE RANTING ON AN INTERNET BLOG ISN’T GOING TO CHANGE THE FACT THAT THEY LOVE EACH OTHER AND SHE IS THE MOTHER OF HIS CHILDREN,YOU CAN’T CHANGE THAT BY SITTING BEHIND A COMPUTER AND RANTING AND YELLING 24/7-DON’T WORRY ABOUT THE THINGS YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER
Shame on their sinful souls.
Beautiful (riiiiight…)
boy, you really are all loonies. cannot accept that it’s actually ok to dislike angelina. And Jay-Z does work for the UN, you idiot. We asked him to help out with bringing clean water to Africa. He made a documentary for it with MTV. careful, your lack of sophistication and education as well as awareness of the world outside the angelina sphere is showing.
and exactly what i mean, with all the time she has been there, i have yet to meet ANYBODY who has bothered to see her. I’ve seen George Clooney there thrice-shook his hand twice and the third time was asked to make way for him and his party on their way to see the Secretary-General.
If it makes you sleep better to think I don’t work there, hey, whatever works for you. I left out Brad because he’s not the one dragging photographers wherever he goes. He’s actually fairly normal, tainted only by the total ick factor from Angelina.
love you brad angie and kids
love you brad angie and kids
HOT!!!!!!!! Jared, what the hell are you trying to do to us. I dont know if I can take it. But, Give me more, Give me more

Hi MF good for you girl and I thought I would finish the last one thread (only had 3 pages to go) Somebody finally gave us the word New Thread!. jj is the best, well I’ll do my best in 45 minutes gotta get ready for bedtime at around 10pm.
Hmmm, Un staffer, huh? Hmmm, we will know soon enough. If that is the case, which I doubt, you would know that confidentiality is a must and that they do not appreciate paranoid behaviour from their staffers revealing details that might be hazardous to security, so I wonder what UN security would say about your comments.Hmm.
131 UN staff : 09/20/2007 at 9:16 pm
boy, you really are all loonies. cannot accept that it’s actually ok to dislike angelina.
**************************************
I have no problem at all with you or anyone disliking Angelina. Or Brad. Hate on both of them all you want, they’re adults, they can take it. What I have a large problem with is people who spew their hate and bile all over Brad and Angelina’s children. How lowdown and despicable is that? You tell me.
Trolls better tell the United Nations General Assembly President Srgjan Kerin that AJ arranged a screening of Darfur Now and bypassed all the security measures by her little self. Trolls are off the chart. AJ has been a UN Ambassador since 2001 and has traveled to over 20 countries. If a troll ran down to greet Jay-Z than that is the troll groupie problem. I doubt that AJ cares one way or the other She is there to do a job. She is highly respected within the UN. She is a powerful woman and can command the attention of world leaders. Trolls really should do research before they rant.
Where is the Slob?
Wow, this has been really fun, discovering just how psychotically deluded you all are. I’d be interested to know how you’ll “know soon enough” if I’m really a UN staffer. Yes, indeed I am, one who’s sick of Angelina using our organization to advance her image. She was not as active before she hooked up with Brad.
And just what sensitive security detail did I reveal other than something ALL Manhattan residents and workers experience every year. Just where are you from and I’d really love to see you contack UN Security and see if they even bother to listen to you.
This is great confirmation of the level of idiocy of her fans.
UN staff? Then who are the people who are posing with Angelina and Brad??? I mean if she is really unimportant, and no one wants to bother with her? also how did the photographers get to the doors of the theater if they are not allowed in for security? Surly they would not allow Angelina to bring in her own if they had “no photographers”
You don’t have to like her, but there are inconsitancies in your tale that makes a person wonder how true anything you say is.
Yes everyone, I am Angie fan first and foremost. I believe Angie is the one who brought altrism to Brad. Before her, Brad was sitting in his sofa, eating Mexican food with whats-her-name with no-care attitude about how to live his life. By engaging in meaningful dialogues with Angie while filming MAMS, Brad realized there was more to life than complete dedication toward selfish behaviors(I guess his X still hasn’t realized the value of altrism). Angie saved him from his old self and he knows it. I am sure he is constantly amazed by how Angie lives her life. Yet, whenever he sees her, he also sees this goddess of a woman who is sexy with the most beautiful face. How can he not be thanking the Lord everyday that Angie finally caved into his neverending pursue of her?!
this is too funny now the troll works for the UN,next week it’ll be the whitehouse-hello shitzy gal-lol
Jolie has EIGHT RAZZIE NOMINATIONS, Brad Pitt has NONE : 09/20/2007 at 8:01 pm

Wow….so impressed by what you can come up with. Too bad she hasn’t won a Razzie yet, your point would almost have substance.

Now I know you are a troll and a dumb one at that. Do some research. If you work at the UN, then you would know AJ resume. Peace to you
she works for the un as a dishwasher in the cafeteria-high level security-lol
SHE DOES NOT LOOK HAPPY. SHE LOOKS LIKE SHE’S THINKING GOSH DAMN GET THIS GUY OFF MY ASS… HE’S ALWAYS RIGHT THERE. SHE ALSO LOOKS LIKE SHE NEEDS A NAP AND A NEW STYLIST.
ANYWAY, ANGELINA IS ALWAYS DOING SOMETHING POSITIVE WITH HER TIME SO WHO CARES WHAT SHE’S WEARING. SHE ‘S COOL.
=======================
Hmmmmm, How would YOU suggest she look, lol, Dont tell me you’re a stylist, so you know exactly how “one” should walk about in life. When to smile, when to look to the left or the right. Anywho, I am curisous, Exactly how should have angie LIVED HER LIFE.
the troll couldn’t read angie’s resume its too long
Hi Guli , thank you for the shout out :)
Hi Jolie-Pitts fan ((( waving)))

Stop it you two! You are killing me here — your comments have me laughing out loud.
Old trollie is making a fool out of itself as usual.
Isn’t it great how the 011/12/13 group of guys support one another?
Brad and Angelina are supporting DonC as well as the UN by attending this event.
Once and for all, the point precisely is that SHE brought her own photographers because the UN would NOT authorize or invite those photographers. Just what is inconsistent with my story. We do photographers who have clearance but their photos would NOT be on sites like this.
That was the original point. She asked for security clearance for them, obviously. That’s what I was saying. That’s why George Clooney’s pictures from there don’t appear in celebrity sites and only in serious papers because he does NOT bring celebrity photographers. Serious press went to cover his appearances there.
Please read carefully. This really just confirms the “loony” part of your fandom.
141 UN staff
why while Angie was in Iraq or Syria you didn`t come here and talk about her works?why?
how many times you travel to Iraq and Cambodia or Darfur?
sorry but this is premiere and I think there should be some photographer so what is your point about them having photographer with themself.
Ritzy how many times you want to pretend you are somebody that you are not?

Haters have no shame!
I love how they match! I have to say… they dress very appropriately for every occassion.
I am going to see TAOJJBTCRF Saturday.
UN staffer,hmm………..
let me understand this,angie and brad go to the UN this evening, and just by coincidence we have a troll that works for the un posting under anoymous names and using the term loonies,and we’re suppose to take it seriously-not in this life time
To the haters “wonder why they never show affection to one another” you saw all those adorable moments this past week and you said they are putting on an act. What I like about them is they just seem to just be. They know when to turn up the heat and when not too, this occasion certainely doesn’t call for all the other stuff. They are grown ups not kids, they are going home together, surely it can wait and boy what a worthwhile wait I bet!
How do you think was made? via osmosis!?!
Haters if you are going to hate, let it be valid
Yes everyone, I am Angie fan first and foremost. I believe Angie is the one who brought altrism to Brad.

—————————————————
I don’t agree with everything you just said. Angie has said herself that she was “suprised” that Brad cared about issues, she also said he is more quiet in his way. I am a Brad fan first and foremost and Brads kindness and care for others just didn’t start because of Angie. Give credit where credit is due, Brad had the smarts to actually use all the press that he was getting and use it for good. He was smart when he used the Primetime Live Interview and basically said to Diane Sawyer that if you are going to get in my biz, then come to Africa with me. Not only was that interview highly rated but the chairty he does with Bono also got a ton of donations. After that interview, everyone started to follow suit. Yes Angie has been involved as UN Ambassdor but since she and Brad hooked up Angie got alot more attention than she use to. It is all because of her relationship with Brad. Peeps always want to put him down, like he is somehow not good enough or he is so lucky to have Angie. I say they are BOTH equally lucky to have each other.
the troll has a george clooney crush, you can’t prove you work for the un, its sad how your delusional state has taken over-lol
UN the question was If security is soo tight, why would the let her bring her photographers? because she asked for clearence? if she is as unimportant as you say then they wouldn’t grant it. And a photographer can sell there pics to anyone they want if they are freelancers, and many that work for the “Serious Press” are. Do you know for a fact that she brought her own, and this wasn’t a photographer for a “serious” paper that got the in for the event, then sold the pics to others? Angelina and Brad are a hot comodity and pictures sell for alot of money.

Not only was that interview highly rated but the chairty he does with Bono also got a ton of donations. After that interview, everyone started to follow suit. Yes Angie has been involved as UN Ambassdor but since she and Brad hooked up Angie got alot more attention than she use to. It is all because of her relationship with Brad. Peeps always want to put him down, like he is somehow not good enough or he is so lucky to have Angie. I say they are BOTH equally lucky to have each other.

Well said.

Yes everyone, I am Angie fan first and foremost. I believe Angie is the one who brought altrism to Brad. Before her, Brad was sitting in his sofa, eating Mexican food with whats-her-name with no-care attitude about how to live his life. By engaging in meaningful dialogues with Angie while filming MAMS, Brad realized there was more to life than complete dedication toward selfish behaviors(I guess his X still hasn’t realized the value of altrism). Angie saved him from his old self and he knows it. I am sure he is constantly amazed by how Angie lives her life. Yet, whenever he sees her, he also sees this goddess of a woman who is sexy with the most beautiful face. How can he not be thanking the Lord everyday that Angie finally caved into his neverending pursue of her?!
—————————————————
I don’t agree with everything you just said. Angie has said herself that she was “suprised” that Brad cared about issues, she also said he is more quiet in his way. I am a Brad fan first and foremost and Brads kindness and care for others just didn’t start because of Angie. Give credit where credit is due, Brad had the smarts to actually use all the press that he was getting and use it for good. He was smart when he used the Primetime Live Interview and basically said to Diane Sawyer that if you are going to get in my biz, then come to Africa with me.

I just fell in love with you!!! LMAO!!! I completely agree with everything you said.
LOVE ANGELINA : 09/20/2007 at 8:24 pm
Angelina looks beautiful. I love them because they are always doing something productive with their time. Sounds like a good film as well. Glad to see them hanging out more with just them.
Also does Angelina still look pregnant to anyone? Because she doesn’t look pregnant to me in those pictures.
==================================
I agree, Brad and Angie, dont just go out to NUBU and be seen with their, married/coupled best friend. They do IMPORTANT things. They have made this world a better place.
152 bdj : 09/20/2007 at 9:29 pm
“She was not as active before she hooked up with Brad”
Now I know you are a troll and a dumb one at that. Do some research. If you work at the UN, then you would know AJ resume. Peace to you
============================================================
It’s first post told us it was a troll.
Some of them just can’t get it through their empty heads that a lot of us follow Angie long before she and Brad got together. We have her book, we clips of her visits on her UN missions and so much more.
I have to wonder if this the same troll that came preaching to us on whom we must respect, while the bashing of Angie, Brad, and the children was all around her.
yeah UN staff, because the first place a UN worker will post is Just Jared! and of course you will use the word loonie LMAO
Story of Ruth-in the Old Testament Bible/Hebrew books
Ruth’s famous words, “For wherever you go, I will go …,” are used in Catholic and some Protestant marriage services.
These two are more married than most. They truly exemplify what a marriage is to be, a union fueled by a fierce determination to be together no matter what or where if at all possible.
Listen it is ok to dislike anyone you chose, it your negative energy that you are wasting on a person. You are welcome to the feelings the dislike gives you. They say we dislike a person most when the quality you claim to hate is one that you yourself have.
Here is a shocking fact In order for a film to be seen people need to know it is there and there needs to be publicity for it so if Angie brought a photograper or shock/horror one of the producers/director funders who cares. It brings publicity to the picture.
Then again you do not care it is just another vehicle for you.
Angie is wonderful. I love her so much. She exudes sophistication and charisma. Everything about her says class and beauty. And to top it all off, she has a really big heart. Amazing woman. :D Brad is a lucky, lucky man.
COINCIDENCE:
Omigod, this is really fun. It isn’t a coincidence you imbecile. I posted precisely because I saw this post about the event at my workplace. I am a UN staffer and I am posting because I’m sick of her associating her name with the organization I work for to pull up her image. Can you spell backlash??!!
Whatever, you just can’t accept that someone who actually works at the UN can see through this act. Unlike you, we DON’T worship at her feet and actually ignore her.
150 ?
oh C`mon they are in UN place and those are people who have high place in UN department and they are there for the movie about Darfur so what do you exactly want?kissing each other,grabing each other`s butt,holding hand.
They attend together and are around each other all the time that is enough attraction .
It’s kind of sad that you are pretending to work for the un just so you can talk trash about Angelina Jolie. BB before brad She had been traveling with the un just as much as she does now it’s just being with Brad put her even more under the microscope than before. Everything she does is picked apart and we know what she’s doing before she even does it. I’m surprised we don’t get reports on their trips to the bathroom.
BTW, you should try reading her book. She wrote it BB.
Wow! Jared, you really know how to turn a girl’s head.
Still wiping the drool off my keyboard just thinking about a shirtless Brad in ‘The Fighter,’ and you put up another thread!!
Love Angie’s almost makeupless pics, so truly beautiful. Gorgeous Brad in his cap, it’s really grown on me. Always proud to be a fan of such an inspiring couple.

Although I don’t care for these two(or for that matter any other film star), I have to admit that I appreciate that they use their celebrity to educate their followers about the suffering in certain parts of the world.
UN Staff … sure , are you the tea lady or is it the night sweeper?? Sure George shook hands with you. Boy next time I visit my friend at the UN grounds, I’d be sure to look you up. If you are UN staff you’d know him , at the momment he is on asignment in South East Asia. He is pretty well known and I’ve visited him a few times at the UN Building.
So get real and don’t throw in something you can not prove. Just admit that you are just a frustrated check out counter girl at K-Mart Boise!!!
Because if you weren’t jealous you would not spend time reading, writing, and thinking about her.
You would just dismiss her and go about filling your life with the great things in life. But you’re being jealous won’t allow that.

International Day of Peace - 21 September
Posted at 12:00:00 PM in Peace and Security | | Permanent Link: International Day of Peace - 21 September
Friday 21 September 2007, is the International Day of Peace. At UN Headquarters, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon will open the day with the ringing of the Japanese Peace Bell in the morning accompanied by the UN Messengers of Peace. The Secretary-General will observe a minute of silence, and will call on the world to observe a minute of silence at noon local time in commemoration of the day. In his message, the Secretary-General noted that “Peace is one of humanity’s most precious needs. It is also the United Nations’ highest calling.”
that’s the point you don’t work for the un ,only in your mind,so sad you really should make a difference in reality not in fantasy.
So UN, you don’t think that bringing publicity and exposure to important issues in a way that the UN doesn’t always do on its own is important? If Angelina gets one more person to care about these issues, isn’t that much more important than wether she gains from it or not? I personally think she is involved because she cares, and she is doing what she knows how, as a celebrity, to bring peoples attention to issues and get them to care too. If it is “pulling up her image” well who really cares.
I love to see my loonies get all upset and fighting with the “UN STAFFER” I didn’t know all of you were that stupid to actually believe she works for the UN lol
Hi, I´m back…
I´m not sure if you know, but Luis Moreno Ocampo is from Argentina. Now he works at the International Court of Justice (La Haya, Holland).
He is well known in Argentina, he wrote some books (I have one of them).
90 pat : 09/20/2007 at 8:46 pm
I am so proud to be Angie fan. At a young age of 26, she decided her life philosophy needed a new direction. She became less self-absorbed and became a humanitarian and a single mother. She focused her life on alleviating other’s pains and ills rather than perpetuating her energy toward self-gratification.
While her haters constantly focus their attention on her teen and early 20’s years, she has transformed herself into this selfless, kind-hearted, beautiful woman.
I am sure Brad is kicking himself silly that he gets to go home to her. He doesn’t deserve someone as amazing as her, and he knows it. That’s why he is doing darnest to support her in every way. Average folks cannot comprehend someone like Angie, so media keeps one-dimensional folks happy by writing endless cartoonish fictionalized version of Angie. Unfortunately, I have to read trolls messages in this site that proves my point about the tabloid’s focus audience–one-dimensional folks who cannot comprehend someone as complex as Angie.
——-
I so agree with you! Brad can’t believe his luck. Angelina is the best-looking and most interesting woman ever in his life. You’re right, he will do his best to support her in every way.
Haters like to bring up irrelevant, old stuff from the past. Must be depressing to be so negative.
oh UN staffer finally admitted the truth as poor loonies-i figured you come out under another name-by the way no one believed you-you had no proof-poor loonies/un staffer-lol

I don’t care what you have or don’t have. Your actions based on your own comments screams you are jealous. So go back your .com and rant about Angelina. But don’t fool yourself YOU ARE JEALOUS of Angelina.
UN staff ? Dont lie. You mean nobody pays any attention to you, therefore you have to come in here and CLAIM to be on the UN payroll? How pathetic !!!! Remember yesterday, you presented yourself as K. got busted by all of us. Again, your post did not make sense, there’s inconsistency !!!!
If you are really a UN staff, give us your name, the department so that we can check you out !!!! Hey, this is the internet. How about if I tell you I work at the Pentagon or the CIA, or better yet, I also work for the UN too !!!!

THANKS JARED FOR ANOTHER PICS TO SEE. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. WE LOVE YOU.

I agree, Angie and Brad could not live a private life to save their lives. Who would want to live like that, cameras in your face 24/7, and PLLLLease, who would ask for that unless you are insane, and insane people do not function in life, going about work, charity,, etc,,. People Are Just Drawan to Them. Lovers and Haters, Im I right,,, Haters
Pointing out someones inconsitancies to prove they are wrong is not getting upset, I actually enjoy doing that!! I enjoy intelligent arguments, and if the only way you can do that is to pretend you are someone else, I have no problem playing along in order to have a decent arguement. Even when you give yourself away with name calling!
BTW UN staffer http://www.unhcr.org/help/3f94ff664.html
sure she does nothing and uses it to elevate her position. This is from the official website.

Agree with you both 100%. They both appreciate each other. As Angelina said, they both went on a lot of faith that each would be all they hoped they would be, and they know how lucky they are that their faith in each other was rewarded. It takes a great deal of courage to venture out in a new direction in one’s life based on faith and love alone.
What seems to have brought out the lowest of lowlifes lately is the evident love and closeness between these two. It is over whelmingly absolutely negating all those tabloid lies that the lowlifes want so desperately to believe.

‘The Assassination of Jesse James … ‘
Director: Andrew Dominik
Genre: Drama, Western
Running Time: 160 minutes
NPR.org, September 20, 2007 · An oft-told Wild West saga acquires the majesty of Greek tragedy in this exquisitely filmed character study — the full title of which is the wordy but revealing The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.
The James brothers, Jesse (Brad Pitt) and Frank (Sam Shepard) are preparing for their last train robbery when skittish, weaselly 19-year-old Bob Ford (Casey Affleck) asks to join their gang.
Frank senses something not quite right, but he’s about to ride off into retirement; Jesse, amused by the hero-worship Bob can’t hide (the kid has read every nickel novel about the gang and knows the lore backwards), lets the outlaw pup tag along.
Being a member of the James Gang at this point, let’s note, is no picnic. Jesse, a calculating charmer with an easy grin and a steely gaze, senses the law closing in — and deals more and more ruthlessly with betrayal. Bob, constantly humiliated and bullied, is soon as paranoid as his idol, and … well, the title says it all, no?
Except that there’s still a good 40 minutes of story after the title-coward shoots the title-outlaw in the back; it’s a wrap-up about the price of infamy that’s every bit as intriguing as the gun-slinging that’s gone before.
Writer-director Andrew Dominik takes his time (160 minutes of it) with the story, but his languorous pacing allows tension to build — and permits the actors, Affleck in particular, to add nuance and depth to characters who’ll seem familiar only at first glance. That they’re doing all this against landscapes that could hardly be more magnificent doesn’t hurt, of course. (Recommended)
Jill : 09/20/2007 at 9:55 pm
LOL.
still, I doubt they would allow it to mop the floor.. So then I was wondered if UN in this case actually meant something else, like United Narcissists, or US Nobodies, or……. any suggestions?
Wanted to tell you people that I remember the last time Angie was with Anderson Cooper (CNN) they talked about the work Luis Moreno Ocampo is doing for Darfur…
They both talked very well about his job at the International Court of Justice. And he is there now with Angie and others who really care about the situation that´s going on there…
Angie is very well respected in the international community.
wondering, wondering, oh well,
I will wish they would start a charity for Angie .. called “Starts at home, EAT for crying out loud!”
Sorry, she is just ugly ugly ugly and aged 10 years since she hooked up with pencil Dcik.
Well looks like someone doesn’t like being disagreed with and feels the need to hijack names and say nasty things? I must have said something to upset them!!! Are people always so childish on these threads? I am new at this, and am wondering if I should always expect this kind of behavour?

For your education, rooting for this family does NOT equal to worshipping.

ROFLMAO good luck with that. not even in the next life would u be truly loved. why don’t u spend ur time writing about ur pathetic life instead of badmouthing other women?
The premiere of “Darfur Now” is way different than the red carpet we’ve seen these past few days, they can’t be lovey dovey all the time specially you are at the UN, a lot of respected delegates & people are there. I’m sure, they want to hold hands & be closer together tonight but they can’t because this is very different event. They are there as goodwill ambassador not as an actor. They are tired but for good event like this they can’t say no. Hats off to them. Beautiful couple.
D*MN BRAD LOOKS HOT! THEY ARE CUTE TOGETHER! I KNOW THAT JENNIFER SEE THIS, AND CRY! SO EFFIN WHAT CRY! MANNISTON!
Hiya Guli, How are you? I see nothing has changed here, same old, same old, the trolls and so called “fans” who hate this family are here more than the fans. Hummm
Hi Mssouri Fan, I will send you a message via your YOU Tube account.
Hello, Andro, KK1, Jill and all the Jolie Pitt fans. How are you lovely ladies?
Will there be a premiere in LA tomorrow? Anyone?
IMO Angelina look amazing at AOJJ NY opening. Angelina look in her 20’s when she went out to dinner with Brad last night. Angelina looks alittle tired in these pictures tonight. No biggie. It part of living. She had a busy month.
Angelina has a purpose driven life.

Chris Crocker is here?Runn………., I hear he is deadly with the charcoal eye pencil, be careful y’all.
The most admired and respected couple. GODSPEED JOLIE-PITTS!
REPOST
Brad is so in demand. Quality films are being offered to Brad left and right. Look at who is directing, no bad blood there like some keep screaming due to The Fountain and Brad’s decision not to do that film. This will be a great film as the story is one of real life redemption and reformation of one’s life.
Brad will make this one as soon as he completes State of Play so next year probably Feb/March-June. Very doable.
Studios are rushing to make films ASAP in light of the possible strike next summer, squeezing in as many as possible by June/July 2008. They are making hay while the sun shines, stockpiling as many films as possible to have some products for theatres. If strike happens no films will be made last half of 2008.
———–
You can say the opposite of Jolie. Jolie holds the record with EIGHT RAZZIE NOMINATIONS, an entire filmography of box office flops, and HORRIBLE MOVIES that the critics and audiences HATED. Plus she’s MISCAST in ALL her roles. i.e. The Good Shepherd. Jolie will continue to get miscast, star in horrible films that flop at the box office… WHILE Brad continues to star in GREAT films receiving critical acclaim.
I am not questioning Brad and Angie’s love for each other. I know Angie loves Brad, and of course, Brad loves her. They are by far the hottest and most interesting couple in the celebrity world.
What I question is this constant tabloid depiction of Angie as this insecure woman who fears losing her man the most. It’s so cartoonish and idiotic, but unfortunately, there are few folks (mainly Jenfans who actually buy into this crap). I am tired of this Angie “stole” Brad fictions and Angie having kids to save marriage. I want tabloid to showcase Brad’s insecurites over measuring himself up to Angie’s standard. I am sick of woman being the target of media lashing.

I told y’all Brad fans are freaking coo coo. Loco ese’. Go brad is the chick that attacked brad Pitt in Italy. Get a freaking grip, Go Brad.
If we answer crazy posts such as “fake un member” lmao , then are we not as crazy as these trolls? I think when you answer stupid posts with no logic to them, then we are giving validation to their words and they love that. That gives certain peeps joy. I say ignore the posts, the more one talks to themself the crazier they seem, the more one is ignored the crazier they get. These posts are here due to lack of attention. I enjoy thoughtful posts whether I agree with them or not, and they don’t have to be pro Brad an Angie but some posts a just stupid and should be ignored.
Beautiful couple. They have beautiful hearts and beautiful minds.
They both look great. It’s great to see them out supporting good causes.

simply awesome. Brad, Angie and kids will always be in my prayers and I know a lot of people are praying for them to succeed.
234 go Brad
Did you not read any of the great reviews she got for AMH? Nevermind…that would have meant that you had to actually READ something in order to know that she was praised by critics for her role in AMH and that an Oscar nod isn’t that far off for her.
“Jolie will continue to get miscast, star in horrible films that flop at the box office”
You showed your ignorance with that statement above. HW is all about making money and if she didn’t make money for studios and showed amazing talent, they wouldn’t put her in any films. She’s in high demand and has been for a while but if you line of thinking helps you sleep better at night then so be it but maybe you would be better off asking the night nurse for that sleepy time shot she gave you padded cellmate next door!
My Gosh, don’t they ever sleep ?
They are really the genuine article. Just love what they do. Such an amazing couple. They care so much about the world’s problems and try to do their bit to alleviate their suffering. Puts me to shame!
Besides their beauty and power, their fan base is growing all the time because their actions show people what true humanitarians they are. Bless them always!
simply awesome. Brad, Angie and kids will always be in my prayers and I know a lot of people are praying for them to succeed.

I’m tired of Brad’s a wimp, wuss, and has no balls stories.
Alex–JJB, I tend to spend more time there due to the WONDERFUL ‘ignore’ button, gorgeous pics etc….Jared, yooo don’t get pissed off all i do is give pic and video links but rarely comment as I said before JJ is my home base for my comments :-) Phewww do you think Jared believes me??? I MEAN IT !!!!! :lol:
Looks like her nose job is doing south, what is that stickin out of the tip?

Angelina can get a role in any movie she wants. Contrast her with your fugly idol Jenzilla the moose, who had to BEG for a part in a movie for TWO YEARS, and after all that begging, all she could get was a bit part in a rom-com where three other actors get star billing over her. You know that broad is washed up.
Matt Dillon and Tilda Swinton also attended. Wireimages has more pics.
In this uncertain times, Brad and Angie lights up the world even for a bit
Go Brad, I can’t stand Angelina either but brad is the bigger douche bag of the two. He doesn’t even have his own identity he does whatever Angelina thinks is cool at the moment. At least that jolie Chick is cool on her own a weird way. Oh yeah, Brad was on Entertainment tonight looking like ****.

I don’t agree with everything you just said. Angie has said herself that she was “suprised” that Brad cared about issues, she also said he is more quiet in his way. I am a Brad fan first and foremost and Brads kindness and care for others just didn’t start because of Angie. Give credit where credit is due, Brad had the smarts to actually use all the press that he was getting and use it for good. He was smart when he used the Primetime Live Interview and basically said to Diane Sawyer that if you are going to get in my biz, then come to Africa with me. Not only was that interview highly rated but the chairty he does with Bono also got a ton of donations. After that interview, everyone started to follow suit. Yes Angie has been involved as UN Ambassdor but since she and Brad hooked up Angie got alot more attention than she use to. It is all because of her relationship with Brad. Peeps always want to put him down, like he is somehow not good enough or he is so lucky to have Angie. I say they are BOTH equally lucky to have each other.
————————————————
I just fell in love with you!!! LMAO!!! I completely agree with everything you said.
________________
I agree–together they have made a connection that is larger than even they probably ever imagined. They are a wonderful team who is making a difference. (I just hope they can get some rest at some point!)
I can’t wait for TAOJJ. I heard that they are in Calgary for the premier.
Is this true?

Angie didn’t need Brad she was doing fine on her own. Brad pursued her, caught her and he is not letting go. It is done. They both caught each other and are stick to each other like glue. Now STFU, swallow your bitter pill and go to bed.

She gives to the same charities that her pencil dcik ex does, goes to show the freaks are liars again. Brad has alwys been involved.
264 go Brad:Get your fact straight. It is Brad Pitt saved Angelina from her previous wild bizard crazy unstable life. Brad can get any woman he wants. He chose Angelina is her luck. He can dump her any minute if he wants to. Angelina in Diane Sawyer’s interview said “I am still wondering how I get here in many ways, with healthy and stable home”. Brad Pitt gave her this healthy and stable home. Angelina is the most insecure woman. She seduced Brad and used Shiloh to hold on him so that he will never leave her because she knows he loves his children more than anything in this world. please, get real, fuc*king bit&ch. ______________

Did you know Angelina Jolie’s face is the most requested face by plastic surgery clients? Want to know how many people request Jenzilla’s face with its deviated septum from snorting so much cocaine she blew a hole in her nose and her six pounds of chin? Zero, that’s how many.
BTW, honey, go back to school, will you? Your stupidity is grating on my nerves. At least use the freaking spell-check once in a while. It’s H-E-M-O-R-R-H-O-I-D. You resemble one, in more ways than one.

Angelina is a shining star.

Seduced Brad and used Shiloh to hold him ? man, you must be still living in the 18th century.
If a man want to left his mate, they could, they will even with Kids, ask Eddie Murphy, Tom Brady, Billy Crudup.
Did Angelina kidnap or took Brad as her hostage, Did she force him to married her ? NO. They were together because they love each other and want to be together for life!
Goodness. I go and feed my kids and I am behind reading this thread.
Thanks Guli for welcoming me.
I do ignore them haters but sometimes I do understand the need to respond to them especially when they are posting unrelated, untrue, and unfair comments/opinions about the JP clan.
Angie looks Beautiful in the close-up pics!! And WOW!! those lips are F*CKING GORGEOUS!! It will be totally heaven to kiss those beautiful and sexy lips of hers!! But it will be EVEN more heavenly to receive a BL0WJ0B from her; because to feel those full sexy lips in “you know where”… will be HEAVEN!!

Loved Brad on GMA. People don’t like seeing a man involved with his family like Brad. Brad is a great guy, everyone always says that. He is not pencil whipped. Any woman would be happy to have a man and father like Brad. He is one of the kind. He loves his kids so much and enjoys everything they do, good and tough things! He is great with them. He is a team player and works with Angie to provide a loving and educational life for the kids. I think he is not only sexy (don’t care how old he is) but a beautiful person. Love Angie also. They are great together. So glad faith brought them together!

Brad Pitt laces up for ‘Fighter’
Replaces Matt Damon in Paramount drama
By MICHAEL FLEMING, TATIANA SIEGELBrad Pitt is poised to star alongside Mark Wahlberg in “The Fighter,” the Paramount Pictures drama about Boston boxer “Irish” Mickey Ward and his unlikely path to become world lightweight champion.
Darren Aronofsky is directing and Scott Silver (”8 Mile”) is working on the current draft of the screenplay.
David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman are producing through their Mandeville shingle.
Wahlberg is set to play Ward. Pitt is in talks to play Dicky Eklund, Mickey’s half-brother and a talented fighter who once knocked Sugar Ray Leonard to the canvas and went the distance in a title fight against that boxing legend.
Pitt will replace Matt Damon, who had been looking forward to a reteam with Wahlberg, his co-star in “The Departed” and a fellow Bostonian. Damon just had too many projects on his dance card to make the film on the schedule Par wanted.
It’s believed Damon gave his blessing to Pitt, his co-star in the “Ocean’s Eleven” film series.
With the exception of Pitt, all of the pic’s principals have Boston ties. Wahlberg hails from South Boston. Aronofsky graduated from Harvard, while Silver is from Massachusetts and went to Boston U.
Wahlberg has been vigorously training to get into shape for the ring. Paramount is aiming to get the film into production in fall 2008.
Dicky threw his gifts away on drugs and a robbery career that landed him a sentence of 10-15 years in state prison — but he kicked drugs, became a model prisoner and turned his life around. When he left jail, he became Mickey’s trainer at a time when Ward was losing fights and was ready to hang up his gloves. Together, the brothers found the spark that led to a remarkable string of victories for Ward and the world title.
Pitt next stars alongside Edward Norton in “State of Play,” the Kevin Macdonald-directed adaptation of the Brit miniseries for Universal. He’ll next be seen starring in “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford” and recently wrapped “Benjamin Button.” He’s starring with George Clooney in the Coen brothers pic “Burn After Reading.”
Aronofsky and Pitt nearly worked together previously on “The Fountain,” but Pitt dropped out of the project. Aronofsky scaled down the film’s budget and made the drama with Hugh Jackman in the starring role.

Angelina is the most insecure woman. She seduced Brad and used Shiloh to hold on him
*********************************************
Oh honey, get real. You are either 15 years old or you have the IQ of an ant. Neither a child nor anything else will hold a man who really wants out. If he wants to leave, he will leave, child or no child. Just ask Jenzilla, if you don’t believe me. She knows all about getting dumped. She’s the champion dumpee. Brad, Vince, the gigolo…
Lets face it, she does look better depressed
http://justjared.buzznet.com/gallery/photos.php?yr=2007&mon=08&evt=angelina-car&pic=angelina-jolie-wanted-car-03.jpg
her head is too big to show big emotion. this pic is down right scary!!!!!!
Angie is into whatever her current man is into. BBT was into sex, blood and just plain weird so Angie was right there into and full force. Brad says he is into kids, she runs out and gets a family for him (less then 2 yrs) .. her actions scream insecure and she takes things to the extreme. She is a headcase, just ask her dad.
yeeesh….i hadn’t seen those pics before, thank god she has gained a few pounds since then, those were scary. anyone can take a few bad pics though.
”””Drum Roll”””
You got it! go Brad is that low life Famous
you crazy b@tch i can smell your ass a mile away.
I looked at the Charlie Rose interview with Brad on “Troy”. Brad is a very intelligent man and he has a lot of knowledge. Especially about architecture. He also has a lot of knowledge about acting and the different schools of acting. It was late when I was looking at it and could not stop. Wish I could find the interview by Diane Sawyer right after his separation from X. Thought I had saved it but it is no longer availible. I think X could not meet Brad on this level whereas Angie can. She is just as intelligent and I’m sure they have really good discussions. She said that the way they wanted to raise their kids is what attracted them to each other. Brad said on Charlie Rose that he and Jen were very different. I guess the difference got to great and separated them. A couple must grow TOGETHER or they will not last.
These two are just great. Just watching and reading about them makes me happy that there are celebs out there that are real, kind and care about other things besides beauty and material things.
Jared,btw lots of thanks for all the new threads and pictures and of course the occasionally required clean ups.
Brad, Angie and kids will always be in my prayers.
To #303, that picture was for the filming of “Wanted”, they put a lot of make up on her because that’s what her character calls for. It doesn’t look like Ange at all. She is the most beautiful woman in the world, why do you think Brad fall in love to her?
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB119032976515834521.html?mod=hpp_asia_leisure
A good part of the picture’s fascination is Brad Pitt’s portrayal of Jesse James as, to use the elevated language of the narrator, “increasingly cavalier, merry, moody, fey.” Psychotic too, of course — this Jesse looks like he hasn’t had a good night’s sleep in a decade — but outwardly sane most of the time, even stabilized by common sense. “They’re all lies, you know,” Jesse says dismissively of the newspaper and magazine articles that romanticize his exploits.
The most mesmerizing spectacle, though, is the most elusive one — Casey Affleck’s phenomenal, close-to-the-psyche performance as Bob Ford. This sponge-souled sycophant gives everyone who meets him the willies, and no wonder; he’s at least as crazy as Jesse as he swings between worshipfulness and paranoid fantasies that the object of his worship can read his turbulent thoughts. In a sense no one’s at home behind his shifty eyes. First he plays a provisional version of himself, a self of slightly more substance than the nobody he feels he is. Then he studies Jesse, as if preparing an impersonation. In the coda, a theater production that explains the movie’s title, he goes back to playing himself, but the self of seedy legend who must endlessly re-enact, on squalid stages, the act of cowardice and betrayal that made him infamous.
jill loves hate is another one of brad pitts psycho fans. Lmao at her saying angelina is whatever her man of the moment is . You know damn well People have been saying that about brad for years. rotflmao!
What is wrong with Angie drinking. You guys act like you have never had a drink! I drink when I go to parties and sometimes I may have a little too much. Angie is not as you present her. Many times when negative comments come out it means that you have a need to trash someone that you know absolutely nothing about. It really just make you sound like a sad, lonely, vindictive person.
Wahlberg has been vigorously training to get into shape for the ring. Paramount is aiming to get the film into production in fall 2008.
Does this mean the movie starts filming in the fall of 2008 or they want the movie finished by 2008?

Pat, there’s a demographic out there that purchases enough tabloid product that as someone said, they’ll just keep going. Celebs are for tabs what sopa opera actors are to daytime writers. The story lines are outrageous and improbable, the casting predictable, and the cyclic nature of the plot inevitable. But how easy when you have all this visual content spilling at you all the time, and all you have to do is make up a story to explain that visual. “Angie is angry!” Nevernind if it is because she stubbed her toe. An angry looking pic means Brad is out the door.
Easy to cast Angelina Jolie as a maneater because my god, look at her, someone with looks like that could be, must be, surely IS one (or so ignorants would like to believe). Nevermind I have never seen a man eaten by a woman against his will. haha.
Were Joie blond, fair-skinned, and didn’t have a hint of ethnicity in her features nor that come hither lilt to her eyebrows but _Jennifer Aniston_ was the one who looked like a couture model, trust me, the cover lines would screech about taking a peek inside Brad’s happy-at-last all American home.
They’re just rehashing this like it’s Debbie Reynolds and Elizabeth Taylor all over again.
I for one find the tabs with the stories that insist “Brad is taking Shiloh” to be in especially poor taste. That sort of speculation about a division of siblings is just wrong. Just as a joke, I want to update with stickers with random insertion of children’s names and just edit the whole stack of magazines. I’m taking Pax…I’m taking Maddox…I’m taking Zahara…
UNFORTUNATELY, AOJJ IS OPENING IN “LIMITED” RELEASE ON 9/21/07 … NYC, LA, TORONTO & AUSTIN (only:-(.

Jared is a true fan. Go Jared. Your blog is the best out there. It’s the place for news not bulltesticles for the the crackjhads who lap up the kool aid poured on those other lowly blogs and tabloids.
To the crackhead UN Staffer, if you only did a google search there are glorious pictures of Mr. Clooney going to the UN and doing his thing.
Since when do people at the UN use the word looney?
This was a film premiere not a UN function, so the director and the studio that released the picture had their PR departments arrange for appropriate press. The UN was symbolic and basically just a place to screen the film. No biggie. If this film was screened at the US Ambassador to Sudan’s home I guess you would have chosen the name “household staffer” huh?
If I only had a brain..and a waiste line..help..any pie left..
Is Angie pregnant?
can’t wait to watch TAOJJ.
BAD PITT
MOVIES LIKE THIS - LONG, DULL, AFFECTED - SHOULD BE OUTLAWED Brad Pitt sure is purdy to look at - just not for three hours.
Rating:
September 21, 2007 — AS pretentious and lengthy as its title, “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford” is a gorgeous snooze, somewhere between imitation Terrence Malick and a feature version of star Brad Pitt’s notorious Vanity Fair layout with Angelina Jolie and their faux kids.
Pitt is the latest in a long line of pretty actors - everyone from Tyrone Power to, most recently, Colin Farrell in “American Outlaws” - to play the legendary robber, here seen alternately as a psychotic killer and weary, bullet-scarred family man approaching both middle age and the end of his life.
As the film opens in 1881, most of Jesse’s original band are long dead, and his brother Frank (played briefly by Sam Shepard) retires after one last train robbery (which is about as exciting as this movie gets).
As Frank was much smarter than Jesse, the latter spends his final months hiding under an assumed identity and planning jobs that were never executed.
He spends more time worrying that members of his ragtag entourage will turn him in to collect a bounty offered by the governor of Missouri (a scene-stealing cameo by James Carville).
Rubbing out several of his confederates, Jesse gives insufficient thought to the sycophantic Bob Ford (Casey Affleck), a stuttering 19-year-old fan of dime novels about Jesse’s exploits who has entered the gang on the coattails of his morose older brother Charley (Sam Rockwell).
Amid more pregnant pauses than a season’s worth of Pinter and visuals practically plagiarized from Robert Altman’s “McCabe and Mrs. Miller,” Aussie director Andrew Dominik (”Chopper”) offers a variety of explanations for the titular act, which finally occurs 132 long minutes into the movie.
Besides the reward, self-preservation and jealousy of Jesse’s celebrity, the flick rather heavy-handedly suggests Bob Ford had unresolved homoerotic issues.
This is most hilariously spelled out in a scene where Bob tries to engage a distracted Jesse, who’s taking a bath, in a conversation about their being the “same size.”
This artsy adaptation of Ron Hansen’s 1982 book, which further obscures things with hard-to-follow accents, doesn’t pick up even a little momentum until after Bob shoots Jesse in the back.
The final half-hour is essentially a lengthy coda devoted to Bob’s life afterward, which began with 15 minutes of fame as he and his brother re-enacted the assassination in a traveling stage show.
Charley takes his own life, while Bob endures a famous ballad about “that dirty little coward” (performed on-screen by Nick Cave) before being shot to death by another fame-seeker.
“The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford” has been on the shelf for a year, with Warner Bros. reportedly testing as many as half a dozen different cuts to indifferent audience response.
Even Pitt’s head-scratching best actor award at the Venice Film Festival (he basically plays Jesse as an attitudinized version of himself in a fashion layout) isn’t going to help much.
The events here were far more entertainingly covered by Sam Fuller in his directing debut, “I Shot Jesse James,” recently released on DVD - and it’s half as long, to boot.

BAD PITT
MOVIES LIKE THIS - LONG, DULL, AFFECTED - SHOULD BE OUTLAWED Brad Pitt sure is purdy to look at - just not for three hours.
Rating:
September 21, 2007 — AS pretentious and lengthy as its title, “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford” is a gorgeous snooze, somewhere between imitation Terrence Malick and a feature version of star Brad Pitt’s notorious Vanity Fair layout with Angelina Jolie and their faux kids.
Pitt is the latest in a long line of pretty actors - everyone from Tyrone Power to, most recently, Colin Farrell in “American Outlaws” - to play the legendary robber, here seen alternately as a psychotic killer and weary, bullet-scarred family man approaching both middle age and the end of his life.
As the film opens in 1881, most of Jesse’s original band are long dead, and his brother Frank (played briefly by Sam Shepard) retires after one last train robbery (which is about as exciting as this movie gets).
As Frank was much smarter than Jesse, the latter spends his final months hiding under an assumed identity and planning jobs that were never executed.
He spends more time worrying that members of his ragtag entourage will turn him in to collect a bounty offered by the governor of Missouri (a scene-stealing cameo by James Carville).
Rubbing out several of his confederates, Jesse gives insufficient thought to the sycophantic Bob Ford (Casey Affleck), a stuttering 19-year-old fan of dime novels about Jesse’s exploits who has entered the gang on the coattails of his morose older brother Charley (Sam Rockwell).

USA Today 4 out of 4 stars
‘Jesse James’ is just a great, gorgeous Western
Share this story: Digg del.icio.us Newsvine Reddit FacebookWhat’s this?By Claudia Puig, USA TODAY
Although the title slyly hints at a big-bang theory, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford is anything but a traditional shoot-’em-up.
Though there is plenty of gunplay, this is a wondrously contemplative and poetic saga that offers a fresh and bewitching take on a timeworn genre.
CLIP: Get a look at Brad Pitt as the outlaw Jesse James
Its deliberate pacing and majestic beauty is reminiscent of Terrence Malick’s Days of Heaven. That meditative style serves to bring into startling focus the gorgeous Western landscape as well as the complex internal geography of key characters.
We know the inevitable from the title, but that doesn’t stop us from being intrigued every step of the way as events play out and lead to the unavoidable violent climax.
Surprisingly, things don’t stop there. The movie is about so much more than the murder of a notorious outlaw. It is a testimony to Andrew Dominik’s sharp writing and luminous direction — and to the impressive acting of this ensemble cast — that events don’t feel predictable.
The film, based on the novel of the same name by Ron Hansen, is heightened by a rare cinematic artistry that seamlessly melds a probing character essay with a lyrical Western epic.
Jesse James was a thief and murderer, many times over. But he fascinated people around the world in much the same way our tabloid culture romanticizes latter-day bad boys and girls. Those who think the fascination surrounding O.J. Simpson’s arrest and trial is a modern phenomenon will be disabused of that notion after seeing what happened after James was killed.
And who better to play someone who fascinates the masses while still leading the solid life of a family man than Brad Pitt? Pitt possesses the ideal charismatic and enigmatic qualities essential for the part of the iconic James.
But Casey Affleck as Robert Ford is the real revelation. Though he has made his presence felt playing a quirky character among the starry cast of the Ocean’s trilogy, he is of course the lesser-known Affleck. After this role, if there is any justice, that ought to change.
Affleck perfectly inhabits the role of the needy and ambitious Ford, a manipulator who idolizes James, yearns to be his sidekick and eventually manages to kill an outlaw who eluded capture in 10 states.
But what Ford didn’t bargain for is the aftermath of his act of violence. The film examines the concept of celebrity from all angles. Because James daringly targeted the wealthy owners of railroads and banks, he and his gang enthralled the public. And his death only intensified his fame.
As played by Pitt, James is not writ large. He is sharp and cunning but human. Audiences get a powerful sense of the man behind the mythologized persona in this riveting and ruminative film. Even with the resplendent Western iconography, the psychological underpinning of the key characters is the film’s most arresting aspect.
Jesse James Hits its Target: Pitt Western Swaggers Straight to the Soul
The ‘psychological drama’ of the legendary shooting is worth an Oscar—or three!
by Andrew Sarris
Published: September 18, 2007

This article was published in the September 24, 2007, edition of The New York Observer
For Mr. Pitt himself, one of the producers of the film, and its central iconic presence, Assassination is clearly more a labor of love than a routine big-money movie-star exercise. He aptly describes the project’s emphasis as “more a psychological drama than a western,
Director Dominik amplified the intended interiority of the two lead characters and the fearful entourage around them: “One of the things I particularly like is how these characters struggle more with themselves than with each other. Each is shaping a reality to suit his desires and anxieties, and they really do not connect with one another.”
This is as strikingly true of Jesse and Robert as it is of Robert’s agonizing older brother, Charlie Ford (Sam Rockwell); Jesse’s more realistic brother, Frank; Jesse’s dutiful but quietly suspicious wife, Zee James (Mary-Louise Parker); and the bedeviled-with-doubts gang members Wood Hite (Jeremy Renner), Ed Miller (Garret Dillahunt) and **** Liddil (Paul Schneider). Indeed, if this period noirish drama has any relevance to our own time, it is in its galloping paranoia that sweeps across the still essentially empty landscape of the 1880’s West like a perpetual tornado of hate, betrayal and violence. It is also part and parcel of the pervasive negativity of the few interesting adult movies coming along in this dismally autumnal pall of our national existence.
Among the large supporting cast members, James Carville, the liberal media spokesman and the brains behind Bill Clinton’s two victorious presidential elections, startled me at first in the role of Missouri’s Governor Crittenden, the mortal enemy of Jesse James, but I was quickly won over by his unquiveringly straight-faced actorish zeal. For my money, Mr. Carville is more than a match for Fred Thompson of Law and Order and the Republican Presidential Sweepstakes, but there is always the possibility that I am politically prejudiced.
But not to quibble, the extraordinary expressive performers, male and female; the haunting interior and exterior conflicts; the painstaking authenticity of the period detail; and the subtly modulated mood shifts all combine to make a modern masterpiece of an old legend. All in all, Assassination is the most compelling piece of psychological drama you are likely to see in this moviegoing year. Mr. Pitt and Mr. Affleck are well worthy of Oscars. Perhaps they can share one together.
As Brad said, TAOJJBTCRF will polarize moviegoers.
can’t wait to watch it though. 2 hours and 40 minutes.
FIGHT CLUB polarized critics but it became one of the best selling DVDs of all time.
BORING COUPLE!! One is cheater and one is mental illness!!
Sorry didnt mean to tell about my mental problems please,- dont call the doctors and .. my other self cheated on her hubby..
see Im two people whose really only one..I told ya I was mentalllllll.
This film is generating astonishing reviews. I really cannot recall in recent times a film so gushed over on every level. They stop at nothing–set design, location, characterization, camerawork, music, and every individual performance. This one review from the guy at the New York Post is so out of step with the universe on this one he must feel pretty foolish. Would love to know what his credentials are.
What’s really hard to understand is why it is only getting released to limited theatres. I am devastated. I live in Connecticut mid-way between NYC and Boston, not exactly the sticks, yet I would have to drive 200 miles tomorrow night if I wanted to see it. Can’t figure this out.
Oops, I forgot I was on the Darfur thread, not Jesse James. Sorry!
If you have talent and power like Brad and Angelina you can make movies that will people will have a difference of opinion about. It people like Jenny A who can only star in rom con because no one will finance her in anything else.
If you are the fidgety type that need to get up all the time or need to be wired all the time and can’t stay still for long periods of time, TAOJJ will not be for you I’m afraid. It’s not an action film.
Love this couple.
it is sooooo funny how haters get really excited when they see bad reviews for the film, actually i laughed out loud when i read one of the haters comments, so what if brad’s movie get a bad review? and i think it is one in ….. ( you finish, because i do not want to kill your happiness). in a movie industry you will always get mixed reviews, and you have to bear in mind that some of the people who reviews these movies may not like the actor, then his/her review may be biased,on the other hand i find it strange, how coem many reviewers gave this movie an A with the exception of that loser
The UN staff is a fake. The hint when he/she typed “riiiight”. This is the old hater who keeps changing names. And if you are a UN staff why you are saying it here at Jared’s site unless you are a regular hater. I won’t be surprise if this is ritzy, the UN staff posts are all against Angelina. If she got media there she deserves it she’s a UN Goodwill Ambassador.
I guess we have to ask Jared to let this poster UN staff info be brought to the UN for investigation. UN you got one leakage here!!!
Movie review
From Time Out New York
5/6 stars
Given the funereal vibe and dusky imagery of Andrew Dominik’s gloriously depressive Western, it would be easy to just slap a revisionist-oater label on the movie without questioning what, exactly, is being revised. The concept of a filthy, immoral frontier is as clichéd as bad guys in black hats, and whatever heroic qualities were once attributed to Jesse James (Pitt) have long since been corrected. Then it becomes clear what’s being given a fresh perspective here: the reputation of one of history’s most infamous scaredy-cats. Watching the legendary train robber’s uncontrollably violent tendencies, you don’t think of Robert Ford (Affleck) as a yellow-belly, but as a man forced to put down a rabid dog.
That unique take on the myth—as well as the film’s ironically cannibalistic notions of celebrity—is enough to make Assassination intriguing. Yet it’s Dominik’s uncompromising, uncommercial vision and the two leads that give the story such a wonderfully wounded grandeur. Despite one copycat shot from McCabe & Mrs. Miller, the director is more interested in evoking the best Westerns of the ’70s than in constructing a pastiche. Dominik’s no stranger to getting great performances out of actors (see 2000’s Chopper), yet what he brings out in both Brad Pitt and Casey Affleck is astonishing. Watching the former’s charismatic sociopath slowly develop a death wish and the latter turn Ford’s jellyfish-like fortitude into self-destructive resolve is enough to make you feel that other filmmakers haven’t taken advantage of their talent.

Why not make a day trip on a Saturday to see the film? It’s long so there no going to a quick film and out you come. Go to an early showing grab something to eat after and you can still make it home by early Saturday evening.
For a person who works with the UN, this poster is truly undiplomatic. maybe we should forward this idiot hater from the UN for dismissal.
or maybe UN staff thought she works with the UN. How many languages do you speak by any chance?
Pitt Gets Under James’s Skin
By Rick Warner (bloomberg.com)
Sept. 21 (Bloomberg) — The long-winded title isn’t the only thing that sets “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford” apart from two dozen or so other films about the legendary outlaw.
The lingering close-ups, absence of big shootouts and emphasis on psychology over action will probably disappoint viewers expecting a traditional Western, but the cerebral style is also what makes it a distinctive American classic.
The film is based on a novel by Ron Hansen about the final year of James’s life and his relationship with Robert Ford, a young man who idolized James, joined his gang and ended up shooting his hero in the back of the head. It’s a complex tale, told by screenwriter/director Andrew Dominik with originality, striking cinematography and sterling performances by Brad Pitt as James and Casey Affleck as Ford.
James was smart, cunning, moody and ruthless. Toward the end, he also was extremely paranoid. Pitt manages to convey all those aspects of James’s personality without caricature or cliche and with minimum dialogue. In this movie, what’s going on inside James’s head is more significant than what he’s doing with his fists or his pistol.
Even more impressive is Affleck’s portrayal of Ford, a nervous, insecure follower whose older brother Charley was also a member of the James gang. Until now, Affleck has been known primarily as Ben’s kid brother. This subtle, textured performance should remove him from Ben’s shadow and make him a star in his own right.
