I’M GOING TONIGHT NO MATTER WHAT

I’m going to see this tomorrow, can’t wait

http://flawedhollywood.com/

Good Afternoon BAMPZSville

can’t wait to see Wanted - love to see Angie in kick-*ss roles.

waves to vickifromtexas, Felinelilly, thelookoflove1365 and all JP fans.

Alia, I hope you are having a wonderful day - Happy Birthday. :)

is fake assistant still on the loose?

i just saw it and i liked it, especially the part where Gibson release a bunch of rats and started shooting like nuts haha , the music that goes with it sounds cool too.

I think Angie is a beautiful, sexy woman, but I don’t think she’s hot in this movie. This movie was shot after her mother’s death when she lost a lot of weight and looked like a skeleton. I remember seeing pics from the set and thinking, “oh my, she needs to eat.” She’s way too skinny in the movie to be sexy. Granted, she’s still Angelina, she’s way too skinny in the movie. You can see all the bones in her body in the movie…all of them.

Saw this at midnight last night. The special effects were very good, though the story is a bit cliché.

Go get them, Angelina.

whoa, this site is super facked up, you post a comment and it won’t show up, the reason why i come here rarely, this site is going donwhill.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Yeah RIGHT!!!!BWAHAHAHAHAH. Aniston’s movie just got pushed to the back burner…who knows it might go straight to DVD because the initial reviews were awful. ROFLOL

And why are these sources always f****** lying?

Thanks Jared for the new thread…

We are going to see this movie in 4 hours! I can’t wait :lol:

FYI: Sources tell The Daily News that contrary to denials, Angie has given birth to her twins. “They’re waiting till the babies are bigger and stronger before they allow anyone to take their picture,” a source told the paper.

ROTFLMAO. God. Give it up, people! The irrational interest in whether or not these children have been born is bordering on stalking of newborns. Damn. You’d think this was “Children of Men” and Angie was giving birth to the first babies after 20 years of human infertility. It’s gotten downright sick.

love her!!! But I think Wall-E will get 1st then Wanted…

Hi vicki and anoble-
Can’t wait to see this movie tonight. In our area, Wanted opens at 12 am this morning (Friday). If I didn’t have to work today, I probably would like to try watching movie that late. LOL!

BBL guys…the site is taking forever to refresh. Jared, thanks for the thread, but please do something. It is very slow,-crawling!

Finally Angie Jo is making the sort of movie that suits her Goth Style. This one should be a success unlike the last few she’s made, i.e. A Mighty Heart, etc. Just something about Voight’s little girl in black leather!! Stop trying to be someone else Angie Jo!, just be U and all will be fine!!

She looks super sexy in the movie and that butt shot WOW

I hope everyone supports Angelina because she’s taking a break from HW for a while.

I think you guys can wail for more people to see it before discussing it into details.

andromeda, it’s good to see you posting. i will pray for your family. i hope things get better soon.. hugs.

——————–

Of course she is, only in your mind! That is way all her movies are disaster at the box office! And that is way she allways looks like Rachel! She is the worst actress in America!

wanted will do well but not because of Angie, no one is going to see it because of her. She movie is based off a very popular book. But don’t expect to see very many simalarites it is completely different. This movie would do well regardless of who was in it. Angie, as always has a minor role.

vicki: hi!!. How is everything with you?, how are you feeling?. Hope you are better. Thanks for your prayers and kind words.

It seems to me that if Angie was going to have a c-section then she probably already has a date set for the babies to be born,right? And if the Daily is correct and she already had them then they are preemies and most likely weren’t expected this soon. Either way, Brad & Angie will let the world know when they are d*mn good and ready!
In the mean time, I’m going to see WANTED tonight!!! YAY! :-)

Greetings from Europe! I see that someone here is also named as Tina…
I can not wait to go and to see this movie! It looks fantastic!

LOVE ANGELINA JOLIE!!!!!!!!!

http://www.savetheoc.wordpress.com

Can’t wait to see this movie but can only go on Sunday.

FYI: The Daily News is just another atrocious tab, like ET, but in print form. They obviously have the same ’sources’ and looking out for some hits. That is such an asinine speculation to make, that they are waiting until the twins to be bigger and stronger before taking a picture.

Saw the film yesterday, It was really good, James McAvoy was great, so funny. Angelina was really good as well, she looked stunning!

Angelina is made for these movies!

I already saw wanted, and “Angie Rocks…and she has ass too. Go see wanted, it will keep you on the edge of your seat! :)

=====================================================
i agree it is getting really creepy.
____________________

Yesterday’s thread was real. Angie would not “stuff a pillow” in her stomach to betray the world. She and Brad appreciate their fans, although the trolls –which are probably fans too–are a little sick; they are few and far between.

If the babies have been born recently–we can all pray with good faith, that they will be fine.

vicki–Hugs to you too. We love you!

Cliniqua, he will be macking big time next they are on the rc. His hand will be glued to her booty.

Why are people, fans, trolls, and some critics acting as though Wanted is any thing other what it is a movie based on a cartoon. This is not deep thinking. This is not Atlas Shrugged. It is a comic book movie like Iron Man, Spider Man, Batman, Superman. It just happens to have a badazz wo-man who kicks butt and doesn’t wear a funny looking costume.

I read the entire NYT article JJ excerpted. and brought to the thread. I started to bring it to the thread but decided against it as I felt the writer was being a little snarky. He is the second person to mention Angie’s thin arms. Anyone who did any research would know she had lost weight after her mother died. But it seems most reviewers aren’t looking at her arms. It seems most reviewers are looking at her booty. She is thin. That is a fact of her life. But she still can be beautiful, and she is inside and out. Peace

Hey viki, how are u doing, so good to see u posting again. These tabloid can see into the future, that’s how they know if and when she’ll give birth, lol. Only in their obsessed virtual reality. BTW, I can’t wait to see this movie. I’ve been hearing only good things from ppl who’ve seen it already.

Passing Through @ 06/27/2008 at 3:52 pm

Totally agree with you. This speculaton is just crazy.

andromeda,vee and shar, thanks you guys. i am taking things a day at a time. you are all so sweet. hugs to you all three.

# 76 guli @ 06/27/2008 at 4:59 pm Vee—I think flamingo and her friends will be fine….it’s the Mom they are worried about behaving…ROTFLMAO!!! That’s why they’ll sit as far away as possible from us and pretend they don’t know me and hubby
Vee- I brought home the kitty last night OMG she is gorgeous and feisty..she sleeps with me ..she loves the dog, hates the other two cats and is just curious about my African gray parrot who is at least two times her size
__________________

Somehow, I thought Flamingo and friends might have to be the o nes worryign about Mom and Dad!

So cute about the kitty!!! I hope the other cats will take her in, sometime–she sounds as though she was born to tackle the world!

# 64 Vee @ 06/27/2008 at 4:34 pm vickiefromtexas–Is it your birthday too? Happy, happy day to you too! Hi, Senior–so glad you are posting now. You’ve got a lot of wisdom to give to these posts. Best.
===============================================
vee, my birthday is this sunday. hugs.
——————————————————————————————–
senior has never seen anything like this :). So very glad I don’t have to listen to the news, I will trust a report from one of the fans, you guys will get it right, when Angie has the babies, we will know (the world will know). Between the elections, bad weather news, gas prices up and Angelina’s pregnancy, I can only watch food network and HGTV lol
I just hope Angie is comfortable as possible these last weeks are exhausting for any pregnancy and it is summer!. I always remember to ask for a safe delivery of the babies and Gods blessings continue on this lovely couple and their children. vickifromtexas have a good day as possible Sunday, I’ll be thinking of you hugs.

senior, thank you sweetie. hugs to you.

:roll:

Curious how none of the press is monitoring Angelina’s OBGYN or James’ movements… oh, wait… that would require effort.

Not that I’m encouraging stalking of any kind, but doing that would seem like a ‘duh’!

At this point, although it would pain me if Brad and Angelina do this, I hope that they never reveal pics of the twins. Let the press whip themselves up into a Suri Cruise-type frenzy.

Angie ROCKS!! Best actress around. AND she puts her money, fame and time where her mouth is. She gets out there and actually gets involved in this world.

BTW Angelina Jolie doesn’t want to be anyone sweetheart, she only needs to be Brad’s sweetheart

Happy B’day alox :D :D

Your b’day present from our motherinlaw is so great :) :) yay WANTED!!! (((HAPPYDANCE)

I want to see this movie.

Wish good luck to Wanted!

Jens’ movie has too many celebs in it to compare it it Angelinas movie. It’s not like Jen is the only actress in it. Sure people will see it but not just for Jen. It would be great to see Jen as leading actress but then again it would flop so forget it.

I’m so in love with Angelina and will be seeing her film tonight with my family. yeah
Damn right she’s sexy and gorgeous, meow

i would see wanted tonight

Hi Guli-

Hubby and I are also going to see this movie tonight!

Sources tell The Daily News that contrary to denials, Angie has given birth to her twins. “They’re waiting till the babies are bigger and stronger before they allow anyone to take their picture,” a source told the paper
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

That should read: They’re waiting till the babies are bigger and stronger before they allow anyone to take their picture,” a liar,/b> told the paper

If I was a man,I wouldn’t mind been beaten to the gound by Angelina Jolie.I mean,that must be a fantasy of millions of men around the world! :)
Right? ;)

UGLY OVER-RATED WH*RE

This movie was great! The crowd was out at the theater I went to. Some people had their young kids there, don’t know why! Not appropriate. The movie rock, heard one guy say “This was a really enjoyable movie”. Angie looks great and her a** rocks. She is a major part of the movie. Loved it! Will prob go and see again with hubby. Will buy will come out on dvd.
Really a twist at the end. The guys loved it. I could tell when I got there who was going to “Wanted”, there was a line when I arrived and notice the couples coming in and the guys coming in and they were buying “Wanted” tickets.

It’s interesting that so many people are excited and talking films and acting and here is the Daily News talking about her twins. Even when everyone has dropped the topic because it’s stupid, they keep the lie going. Someone needs to send an email to the Daily news and tell them to mind their fking business.

Can’t wait to WANTED , SHE looks HOTTTTT!!!!!

I love Angelina but I’m too young for that grown up movie. I will go see Kung Fu Panda instead. Mickey D’s is giving out Kung Fu Panda merchandise with their Happy Meal’s. I liked what I got.

Back from the movie and I loved it! It was such fun.

I’m in the middle of getting ready to go see this movie now - I took time out between shoes and make-up to check in on Just Jared.

I know this’ll be one of the hottest (if not THE hottest) movies of the year. I’m way past excited!

http://www.oh-angelina.com

You guys it was pretty good. Great action scence McAvoy is good with his delivery and expressions. And ANGELINA IS STILL THE ****! She exudes a subtle sexy that is powerful enough to stop you in your tracks..Skinny or not Love her and cant wait for dvd

Hey anustin,how are you?

# 112 FF Haters at LA times OMG! @ 06/27/2008 at 6:50 pm

misery loves company
and you are with them
Snead got $$$ and big hits thanks to you

I just saw the movie with my sister and we think its the best movie ever.

Thank you to all the ladies for the feed back of the movie.

Saw Wanted yesterday here in Singapore - it was very good! I only watched it because of Angie, I love her! She was so cool, so beautiful in the movie. Yes, the bare-a** shot was brief and very artsy. She’s got a really good body - she’s skinny but not in an eating-disorder way.

P Song Yew @ 06/27/2008 at 7:58 pm

You are a vile, hateful scum of the earth.

i love angelina jolie Wonderful woman forever

i want WANTED

I can’t wait to see the movie! Hubby and I plan to watch either tonight or tomorrow night.. for my own personal selfish reasons, I hope the line’s not too long.. but for the movie’s sake, I hope it is! hehe I’m sure it’s going to be one awesome fast-paced action movie.. Angie rocks!

Thank you Jared!

#136- and yet Megan Fox ( whoever she is) wants to be like Angelina Jolie….what irony.

36 ace tomato @ 06/27/2008 at 3:53 pm

This looks like great summer popcorn fare - fun actors, lots of action, and really, with a story about elite assassins involving car chases with a Dodge Viper, are you really worried about realism?

Fun fun fun=)
——-
Yes, that’s what I’m looking forward to! Angie, that red car and lots of fun!

Just saw “Wanted” and nobody , I mean nobody could do a better job than “ANGELINA JOLIE” !
I hope she got paid well. She carried the whole movie with ease.
I don’t understand how can somebody compare Jennifer Aniston with her, especially in acting ability.
While Angelina is having Clint Eastwood as a director in Changeling, Jennifer is having “Norman” as his leading man in Marley and Me.
Imagine having a dog as the top billing in your movie and the trailer was so degrading to both her and Owen Wilson. I don’t even want to mention HE IS NOT INTO YOU with Ben Aflac. She is with an ensemble and it might make a lot of money at the office box but is it of any substance?
Jennifer should watch Wanted and then Changeling, maybe she’ll learn how to act from Angelina.

I think someone partook a wee bit too freely of the special Jim Jones Cherry Kool Aid Made With Dumbwater…

My husband and I saw the 12:45 showing, there was more people at a mid-day showing than I expected. I thought the movie was very good. Fox was a badass, no doubt about it. I’m not really into McAvoy but I thought he did a decent job but felt that his part could have been played by others but no one could have played Fox but AJ, loved her smirks. Really loved Morgan Freeman

# 4 WeLoveRachel @ 06/27/2008 at 3:21 pm
=========
You are in the wrong thread. X is a BO posion , her only successful films was TBU, others were flop. and please stop telling us Bruce Almightly is her film. It’s a JimCarrey and Steve Carell film not maniston film.

#21: TLOL: I’m back! Just got out of the theater and when I looked at the threads, there was hardly anyone there. Should have known there’ll be a new one.

Loved Angie in the movie. Loved it when she put the beat down on Wesley. It was the continuation of the scene in MAMS, when she hit the kid with a phone on the head. She was cool, she was bad and she rocked. Her backside scene should have been longer. It was too short although they did show the whole thing. I wanted to read her tats.

One would think a mother of four children plus two more children nearly birthed, i.e. SIX CHILDREN, would more consciously choose non-violent roles as an appropriate mirror for her growing children.

The eldest drew a picture of a machine gun and good Daddy Brad had it made into a charm or necklace for good mommy Angelina! Interesting minds these two “parents” have, eh? Oh, yea, the perfect parent material….what a joke!

Jennifer Aniston is America’s Sweetheart and a box office sweetheart. She is chosen for lovable roles not scary ones. We love you Jen!

america’s pee’sheart is much closr.

#147 passing Through @ 06/27/2008 at 8:54 pm …but my favorite moment was after the movie ended. Two college-age girls were sitting behind me. As they were getting up to leave one girl turns to the other and says, “Gosh, that was a LOT of shooting!” The other girl says, “I didn’t mind all the shooing, but I couldn’t stand all the knives and cutting! That was gross!” I was ROTFL. She didn’t mind watching bullets ripping through head and hearts, oozing and spatter blood, guts and brain matter…for almost 2 hours…but the knife fights/training, which were filmed in shadowy darkness, icked her out? Too funny…

****************************************
You should have looked at them both and said p*ssy! Loved the way bullets were filmed.It even had some comedy,the ATM scene was funny as hell.

#41: Geez, I wonder why this is the only movie where the disbelief isn’t suspended. It’s a COMIC BOOK adaptation. Why don’t they say this about Batman, Iron Man, The Hulk? All the previews were action films. Now tell me if those action pictures are all believable when you’ve got the Punisher and the Mummy using the same CGI and the heroes are doing stunts that defy the imagination!

I read somewhere where a fan was wondering why some people are trying to wish this movie to become a failure in the BO? It’s like there’s a conspiracy to discourage people from enjoying or seeing Wanted

Check out aintitcool and rotten tomatoes. The negative reviews from ornery critics are getting pelted by the readers for being jerks. What? they’d rather believe Hostel and Saw as closer to real life? Yeah, I’m sure.

51 Tina @ 06/27/2008 at 4:20 pm
wanted will do well but not because of Angie, no one is going to see it because of her……..This movie would do well regardless of who was in it. Angie, as always has a minor role.
–
Have you seen Wanted? . If you have not.. SHUT UP! coz you don’t know what you are talking about. (minor role?)

i just seen this movie.. and it kicked major ass.

jolie is pure hotness.

wanted will do well but not because of Angie, no one is going to see it because of her……..This movie would do well regardless of who was in it. Angie, as always has a minor .

minor role but paid major.

kiki means…she is a minor and rolled.

#156: Oh, please….the hypocrites lining up for the church service is that way…please follow the arrows>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

You should be on your knees praying for salvation. You are a nasty piece of work and using God as your brickbat to hit those you find more worthy than you. Envy is a sin. Being judgemental is a sin. You are not God so please don’t take his name in vain.

Now, how many freaking sins did you just commit in the name of your jealous rant? Buy some self-esteem. That ought to end your misery.

WHAT A MOVIE!!! OMG Wanted really kicked ass!!!!!!! This movie is awesome!! I definitely will see it again tomorrow with my girl friend. I can’t imagine anyone else besides Angie can play this Fox role with much fierce, elegant and lethal. If anyone here hasn’t seen it, what are you waiting for?. So far this summer, I put Wanted, Iron man in the top 2 spot. I will wait for the Dark Knight in July to see if it delivers.

I can see Wanted easily will make around $40K in 3 days behind Wall-e of course. Congrats to Angie for the job well done!!!!!!!!!!!

im so jealous, I hope to see Wanted tomorrow.

#168: anustin, yeah!!! She got the bucks, the final say about her character and the special title. She gets the star treatment while getting the shortest work schedule on record. Who else has that privilege?

ñññ @ 06/27/2008 at 6:19 pm

Yaaaay, Spain won, and you got your wish Spain vs Germany!
I can’t wait till Sunday they will have it on a major network at 2:30pm!!!

kiki, actually a father taking a drawing his child made and having a piece of jewelery made in it’s likeness is a wonderful affirming thing to do for the child. i would say it is very good parenting. he is showing his son that he is proud of his talent. giving the gift to the mother of the child is even more special. so maybe if you didn’t see things pertaining to this family through a haze of jealousy and rancor you would see that.

# 26 estelle @ 06/27/2008 at 3:43 pm

I can’t wait to see this movie tonight.
The most powerful famous actress in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW Angelina Jolie doesn’t want to be anyone sweetheart, she only needs to be Brad’s sweetheart.

+++++++++++++++++

One thing that really stood out in the trailers shown right before Wanted started - all these big budget summer action flicks…and ALL the women’s roles are girlfriends, love interest or in Joan Allen’s case - bad guy/girl. None of them were participating in the action. They stood off to the side and looked hot, available or scared…in that order.

#176: MF, I have to go so I will look at your pic when I come back. Or if I can borrow my friend’s laptop this weekend, I’ll e-mail you. My laptop crashed the other day so I’m tied to a desktop. Can’t very well take it with me so here’s hoping I’ll get access this weekend. If not, I’ll see you Sunday night.

Have fun watching the movie.

Oh, Happy Birthday to Alia and vickifromtexas. Hope you guys enjoy your day.

#181: briseis…see you Sunday night. Gotta go for the weekend. You’ll enjoy the movie…forget the gagi in your life. He doesn’t deserve you.

oops, I meant “writing”

Boy, that Vajbitch* who is grandmaster at FF is spreading her filth against Angelina to the legitimate media (I think we can still consider the LA Times where Snead works legitimate media, even though she writes pure fiction when it comes to the JPs). It would be so funny if it wasn’t pathetic. Why on earth would Angelina Jolie pretend to be pregnant? What sane woman would pretend to be pregnant for months on end and for what reason? She would have to be strapping that prosthetic stomach IN THE HOT SUMMER WEATHER for what reason. And the photoshop pictures that Vajbitch is saying — God, a lot of work for what reason? Now I can confirm in my mind that the FemaleFirsters have officially gone insane.

…ummm…how soon does Angelina show that bubble?…haha…I don’t wanna be too surprised…hahaha

I’m not really into McAvoy but I thought he did a decent job but felt that his part could have been played by others but no one could have played Fox but AJ, loved her smirks. Really loved Morgan Freeman

++++++++++++++++++++

I thought the best part about McAvoy playing the role was that it’s unexpected. He did say he auditioned for it once and didn’t get the part. Then they tested a bunch of other actors who were bigger and buffer and didn’t find any of them believable as the wimpy Wesley at the beginning of the movie. I thought McAvoy was good at progressing believably from wimp to assassin.

Passing Through @ 06/27/2008 at 3:52 pm
You’d think this was “Children of Men” and Angie was giving birth to the first babies after 20 years of human infertility. It’s gotten downright sick.
*********************************************************

If I see those damn tabs referring to them as the “Wonder Twins” again, I am going to blow chunks. This is not the Second Coming, people. It’s a set of twins being born. Period.

“J. G. Millar”. I thought that was a nice touch.

don’t get it. havent seen the movie yet, will that help?

Thanks Jared for the new thread. I am going to see Wanted to tomorrow and I can’t wait

that movie sucked. angie was hot though!

# 168 anustin @ 06/27/2008 at 9:44 pm

minor role but paid major.

+++++++++++++

LOL. You’re cracking me up Anustin. The troll is obviously feverish because Angie’s role wasn’t “minor”. Common’s role was minor. Angie & Morgan Freeman had about equal screentime, second to JM.

I hope if there is a sequal, they will find a way to include fox( Angelina ) in it. I think I heard thatat the end there is also a picture of Fox on the desk. I can’t wait to see it tommorrow.

just came home from seeing it

it was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i called everything in it
but still really enjoyed it
she was great in it
and James McAvoy was incredible, he truly is an amazing actor

GO SEE IT!

I’m going Monday after work. They jack up the admission prices on the weekend.

It’s not anything in the movie. It’s the combined names of the two guys who wrote the comic book - Mark Millar and J. G. Jones

Timur Bekmambetov on ‘Wanted’

Director puts new spin on action formula
By JEFF SNEIDER
Variety

excerpt

After Angelina Jolie signed on for a $15-million payday as a superstar assassin, the movie was a go. “Angelina was helpful and honestly, this movie happened because of her,” says Bekmambetov.

“Not only is she beautiful, determined, focused, smart and athletic, but she’s also feminine and charming. She was also tough as nails during the creative process.”

***********

Bekmambetov said everything I want to. :)

By the way Jared picked up the worst critic in my dictionary.
Manohla Dargis gave negative reviews to Wanted, Changeling.

I hope if there is a sequal, they will find a way to include fox( Angelina ) in it. I think I heard thatat the end there is also a picture of Fox on the desk. I can’t wait to see it tommorrow.

+++++++++++++++

I didn’t notice Fox’s picture on the desk, but there’s quite a bit happening in that scene so it’s hard to catch all the little details. That’s going to require buying the DVD and repeated viewings… Can’t wait to see what extras they include with the DVD.

3 showings @ 7:20; 7:40 and 7:50 @ 3 different cinemas in the mall. OMG - totally packed for the 7:00 showings. It started at 10:00 AM this morning, thru all night, 12:40 after mid night is the last. 3 shows every hour on the hour. Geewhiz - I’ve never seen anything like it !

Action pack all the way, and all these clappings. I really need to see it again.

No question about W2, or 3. The ending is a mystery, no question about W2 or W3. Am betting AJ will return, cuz’ the ending is a fake.

Bourne met his match ! McAvoy is a huge competition for Damon. I just read a clip coming from Scotland - McAvoy is their new hero. The headline says : move over Bourne !

Now the FF coven is truly evil, truly devoid of any humanity, truly lacking any ability to see the world as it is. Those women are full of poisonous hate for no reason at all toward people who have caused them no harm.

Seeing Angie so happy with Brad, so happy being a mom, so happy being pregnant with twins, so radiant and glowing at Cannes hand in hand with a loving proud Brad, had already pushed the FF’s near the edge, but now the success of movie after movie and the ET fiasco has pushed them to exploid.

FF’s are the most insane group of fanatics in the known universe.

———————————————————————–

But why? Are they like this for other celebs? Or just Angie?

Its unbelievable how one woman can do so many things. Angie has fulfilled much in her life that no other individual can attest to. She is blessed in every sense of the word and she is very much aware of it. You can love her or hate her but you cannot deny the fact that she is very involved in every thing, whether helping those less fortunate, donating her time and money or making movies, being a mother and partner. This woman does it all.

Whatever Brad saw and sees in Angie is magical for him and has made him an extremely happy completely lovedup satisfied man. Brad cleaves to Angie as if he and she are the opposite poles of the most powerful magnet, you can’t pull them apart. Angie is the love of Brad’s life and the mother of his soon to be 6 kids. Angie is the home of Brad’s heart.

Of course you can’t see Angie’s magical aura because you are not Brad, it shines for him and him alone.

EARLY NUMBERS: ‘WALL-E’ may be Pixar’s biggest opening ever! Robot tale headed for $20M+ Friday and possibly $70M 3-day! Jolie’s ‘Wanted’ strong and could reach $40M opening!

by Steve Mason
FRIDAY 3:30 p.m. (Pacific): There will be much celebration in Hollywood this weekend as both of the new wide releases are scoring big. I have spoken with 2 sources at competing studios who tell me that Pixar’s perfectly-reviewed Wall-E (Disney) is off to a meteoric start, much stronger start than last year’s Ratatouille. The new animated masterpiece, already described by many critics as the likely winner of the next animation Oscar, will almost certainly top $20M on opening day. One source says $60M+ for the weekend and the other says that early numbers suggest $70M+ for the 3-day.

If the movie exceeds $70.4M this weekend, it will become the all-time best Pixar opening, which will put it above such classics as The Incredibles ($70.4M), Finding Nemo ($70.2M) and Monsters, Inc. ($62.5M).

Meanwhile, early numbers indicate that Wanted (Universal), starring Angelina Jolie, James McAvoy and Morgan Freeman, has a real shot at $40M, which would be the all-time biggest opening for an R-rated movie in the month of June, topping last year’s Knocked Up. It would also mark the all-time overall 10th-best opening for an R-rated movie.

I will go online with Early Friday & 3-Day Estimates later tonight.

Jolie hits the mark in ‘Wanted’
By Roger Moore

Cheekbones, eye shadow, tattoos and lips — that’s the essence of Angelina Jolie.

And guns. At least, that’s what the skinny action heroine amounts to in “Wanted,” a nervy, stylish and deeply silly movie about a clan of assassins training its newest recruit.

James McAvoy is that recruit, a downtrodden Chicago cubicle drone who suffers from anxiety attacks and apologizes for everything. Until, that is, “Fox” (Jolie, natch) shows up and “rescues” him from his dull life of victimhood, shows him “your long-awaited destiny to join us” and teaches him to use “the weapons of fate.”

In lesser hands, this amoral shoot-’em-up might have been as goofy as those portentous, pretentious pronouncements from the Fraternity, Morgan Freeman. But with two Oscar-winners finessing the most ludicrous lines and the Kazakh cult hero Timur Bekmambetov (the Russian vampire movies “Night Watch” and “Day Watch”) directing, shooting and editing this into a too-cool, too-manic seizure-inducing blur, “Wanted” hurtles past our eyes and ears too fast to register as much more than a video game.

McAvoy (”Atonement,” “Last King of Scotland”) plays Wesley, who never knew his father. Since his father was a member of this time-slowing, bullet-bending clan of genetic freaks, that makes Wesley special and recruitable.

The Fraternity drags him into a castlelike textile mill where they beat him, cut him and teach him to put topspin on bullets, all so that they can assassinate those Chicagoans and others in need of assassinating.

The Fraternity was founded by a weavers guild a thousand years ago, Sloan (Freeman) intones. They don’t question those who are chosen for death, don’t fret over moral details. They just run their looms and read their fabric swatches (!?) and do their duty. Once he’s seen how cool, cruel and confident their training makes him, Wesley is down for their mission. He is to “kill the man who gunned down your father.” Eventually.

The car chases and shoot-outs are epic, with Fox taking the new lad out for the occasional joy ride in a stolen car or jaunt along the roof of an El train. Jolie really sells these stunts and effects. But the training, the tedious superhuman/supernatural explanations and “Empire Strikes Back”/Bible Code plot twists bog the picture down.

And then there’s that whole troubling mission thing, shooting people you don’t know.

“We don’t know how far the ripples of our decisions go,” Wesley is told. True. But is that a justification for gunning down somebody you’ve never met and know nothing about? Maybe in the graphic novel this was based on, or in first-person-shooter video-game ethics, that “Don’t ask, don’t think about it” works.

The visual verve makes “Wanted” a fine Hollywood calling card for Bekmambetov, who is ready for a Bourne film or whatever action picture the studios can dream up. McAvoy, the diminutive Scot, makes a decent action hero.

But “Wanted” is, more than anything, proof that no woman in film history has handled a gun with as much exotic panache as the once-and-future “Tomb Raider.” It’s Jolie’s pistol-packing mama-to-be world, and we’re all just innocent bystanders, hoping we duck in time.

You are an idiot and if I am reading this correct, you think Aniston is a great actress and a humantarian. What the hell have you been smoking?

http://videosdebrangelina.blogspot.com/2008/05/wanted-programas-especiale

I don’t recall hearing the part where Angie asked James if he wanted to bond during the movie. Saw it in the previews. How about everyone esle?

she also bring us female to knees or theater seats!!!
Angie forever!

The trailer showed Angie and James on the top of the train and James said “Are we going to bond no?” and Angie said “Would you like t?” I don’t recall seeing this in the movie. Did anyone see it?

ReelzChannel had the Dailies Weekend show and they devoted their hour long show on Walle & Wanted. They had interviews with Angelina and a disucssion on Wanted. They really loved talking about how Angelina did in this film and how they like the movies she’s choosing to do. One guy said that she needs a hit and the others said “need” a hit? Then they dove into the fact that Angelina has an Oscar already and has hits already on her resume. They also mentioned that she voiced in the hits Kung Fu Panda and was in Beowulf. They said she can pick and choose whatever she wants to do at her leisure. She doesn’t “need” to do anything since she’s already done everything. One of the guys said that maybe the guy was confused and meant that Nicole Kidman needed the hit! I was loving it. then the guy who said she needed , then went into how he like that she alternates film genres. They really enjoyed the film and discussing it as well. it was all in good fun.

Dailies Weekend is playing thoughout the weekend on ReelzChannel or you can check out interviews and videos of early fan reaction here:

Filmgoers Go Wild For ‘Wall-E’ And ‘Wanted’

FRIDAY PM: Sources tell me that very early North American box office numbers show that Disney / Pixar’s Wall-E took in low $20sM Friday from 3,992 theaters for what should be a low $60sM opening weekend. And Universal’s Angelina Jolie/James McAvoy starrer Wanted debuted to $15M Friday from 3,175 venues for what should be a bigger than expected $45+M weekend. More complete #s later. For full analysis, see my Wkd Prediction: Robot $70M, Angie $40M.

Over on JJB’s there is a picture of Angie’s bottom from Gia. Heck I see why Brad is always squeezing, patting, rubbing, grabbing, pinching, clinging to and other wise loving it up. I tried to bring it over to this thread but I couldn’t. Therefore if someone else could bring it I over we could see what the critics are swooning over. Peace

Just got home from watching Wanted. The movie is good. Plenty of people clapped after it was over. Angie is really good in action movie; very believable and damn gorgeous. Her backside is a work of art.

Hi tita!

BBL to catch up with the thread!

What a RIDE!!!!!!!!!
Wanted was constantly moving and all you could think about was what would happen next?
Angelina was super fantastic and especially nice on the eyes. Everytime camera would panned to her, everyone including women, would ooh and aah. One word ( OWW).

McAvoy was the bomb. Watch and see for yourselves.

This is a funny review of Wanted that I brought over from JJB.

I Want to **** This Movie
Wanted / Dustin Rowles

What do you get when you combine the sultriest pair of hips and lips in Hollywood, seemingly tethered together only by body art; blood splatters that course with viscous glee; enough cold, hard steel to resurrect Heston; bullets that curve; joyous holes in the head; and a hot, slathering mess of McAvoy? You get Wanted, a movie you want to take behind the middle school and impregnate. With twins.
Watching Wanted, it’s obvious where screenwriters Michael Brandt and Derek Haas got their inspiration: 1999. Inarguably, the three best films of the Clinton years were made in that year, and that cinematic trinity flows through Wanted like a purple midget eating monster at a Prince concert at the turn of the millennium. It has that Damn It Feels Good to Be a Gangsta anti-cubicle **** you vibe of Office Space, the struggle for individuality spirit and light-hearted brutality of Fight Club, and a brand of action-movie Waschowskism that hasn’t felt this fresh since The Matrix, even if director Timur Bekmambetov owes a huge debt to that movie. Throw in a dash of last year’s Ratatouille (you’ll understand), and you have the symphonic awesomeness of Wanted, an orgy of bullets, blood, and toned flesh that will break open your anal capillaries like a Crisco-free Saturday night up on Brokeback.
Wesley Gibson (James McAvoy) is an *******, a nobody, an insignificant peon in the corporate world charged with manufacturing bullshit reports while his mouth-breathing, jelly-donut eating tub of a boss stands over him popping a stapler in his ear. Wesley is miserable, living out the same-sameness of his life knowing that his best friend is boning his girlfriend on top of his cheap IKEA furniture during lunch breaks. But Wesley persists with a nancied approach to his existence, staving off the occasional panic attack with cheap generic pharmaceuticals subsidized by his cubicle overlords. Then on a day he actually manages to get out of the drug store without buying his BFF condoms to thrust into his girlfriend, he’s approached by Fox (Angelina Jolie) and told that his father, the second best assassin in the world, was just killed by the best, who’s about to put Wesley into the cold, cold ground. Cut to: One of the most inspired action sequences in years, a car-chase shootout that has Wesley with his hands on the steering wheel and his face in a crotch-full of Jolie as she’s Tawney Kitaening a sports car while simultaneously unleashing a shock-and-awe spray of bullets toward her target.
In other words, it was just the sort of relaxing evening that Wesley needed to break loose from his corporate shackles and wake up the next morning to jackhammer a series of go **** yourselves into the temples of his friends and colleagues at the ole’ land of partitions and expense reports.
Wesley is thereafter invited by Sloan (Morgan Freeman), the head of The Fraternity - a tight-knit group of super-killer assassins - to come into the fold with the intent of being trained to ultimately take out his father’s killer. The Fraternity’s mission statement, if you will, is simply to assassinate bad motherfuckers with the hope that one death today saves a thousand lives down the line. Their targets are coughed up by The Loom of Fate, an automatied loom that spits up binary code containing the names of their targets. Implicitly, there are three rules of the Fraternity: 1) Never question (The Loom of) Fate; 2) Never question (The Loom of) Fate; and most importantly, 3) Never question (The Loom of) Fate. Likewise, never question the logic of Wanted, because if you pause long enough to consider it, the narrative would unspool like a runaway roll of Charmin. Fortunately, the breathtaking action - bullets, fists, and knives (oh my!) - never lets up long enough to allow you to question the preposterousness, and by the time you’ve left the theater holding a folder over your cinematic erection, you don’t give a **** that you’ve been duped by a machine-gun blasted series of scenes that are as unrelentingly preposterous as they are unrelentingly, insanely bad ass. Indeed, once the origins story and the training sequence is over, the narrative of Wanted feels as though it’s about to level out and find a formulaic groove, but then - in a movie you never expect it from - it wallops you with a twist that turns the entire movie on its head, adding more than enough adrenaline to rock out with your **** out / jam out with your clam out past the finish line.
I’ve always been relatively indifferent to Angelina Jolie, but I’ll concede that few do tough-sexy as well as she does, and in Wanted, she finally reaches her fullest tough-sexy potential - she waves around a gun in ways that would make Freud weep with ****** envy. Without giving too much away, Morgan Freeman finally gets a role like buttered ass that he can sink his teeth into - it’s been so long since he’s played anything but wise and grizzled moral center that you almost forget that it’s actually possible to feature Freeman in a movie in which he doesn’t also narrate. He also delivers the best line in the entire film, a crowd-pleasing turn of phrase we’ve been waiting decades for him to deliver - if you don’t pump your fist, just a little, you’re dead inside. But the show belongs to James McAvoy: A blood-soaked, pint-size, white-collar Statham who somehow manages to fly through the breakneck Wanted without snapping his spine. He’s a total nerds-of-steel kind of action hero: Bale’s steaminess, Bourne’s fluidity, a hint of the Sam Rockwellian wiseacre, and the tiniest dab of that Nick Frost’s what-the-hell-am-I doing-in-an action-movie attitude.
The true surprise, however, is Timur Bekmambetov; minutes into Wanted, I kept wracking my brain to remember who the director was, because obviously a man with this much stylistic flair, this much visual creativity, and this much total disregard for the laws of physics would surely be a name familiar to me and everyone else. It wasn’t until I got home and iMDB’d the Russian-Kazakh Bekmambetov before I started punching myself in the nose for missing both Night Watch and the lesser Day Watch. The guy is balls-to-the-ceiling talented, a filmmaker who can not only put together a jaw-dropping action sequence, but a man who can give you a Looney Tunes action movie without making it feel like a Looney Tunes action movie. Wanted is also a comic-book movie, but you’d never ******* know it.
Indeed, it’s been a long two months since Iron Man, but Wanted is finally a film that can make you forget about Marvel Studios for a while and move on with your cinematic life, comfortable in knowing that your 2008 summer love affair with action movies doesn’t have to be monogamous. So go ahead, folks: Spread that seed. After all, Iron Man is a movie you can make love to, but Wanted is a movie you’re gonna wanna ****, with a **** ring, on top of a fast-moving train.

passing Through, thank you for bringing it over. Apparently I was doing something wrong. If you look at that picture Angie is thin. Her behind is probably the biggest thing, mayber other than her breast, on her. Brad is probably envied now for having Angie. If you look at pictures of men greeting Angie most of them are trying to sneak a kiss on the side. I think of Oliver Stone in particular. Now they will probably be trying to brush across her azz. to see how her azz feels.

Brad didn’t have this problem with his x wife and girlfriends. No one was trying to kiss them of brush their butts. Brad has the hottest woman in HW. Boy I bet he will try to keep her barefoot and pregnant. :smile:

It think it is amazing that this woman has made in the last year or so movies that are so polar opposite of one another and yet she excells in all of them. We can go back to TGS, AMH, Beowulf, KFP, Wanted, and Changeling. As Clint Eastwood said there is no other actress like her in HW. Not only when it comes to acting, but beauty wise. She is unique and there is no one else like her. And Brad has her all to himself with six children. And she is a do gooder also. :smile:

I will see it tomorrow. I plan on going to the 11:30 am show. Maybe tomorrow more people will have seen it and we can go to another thread for discussions like we did for TAOJJ. For those who saw it today thank you for your feed back. I personally don’t care if I am told about the movie. I know not everyone is that way and they should be respected. But no matter if I know what is going to happen, I am still surprised. It doesn’t matter to me. Good night. Peace

omg if AJ has a minor role in wanted, then what do we call the “acting” (same rachel character) that X does in her “movies”… cameo appearance? LOL, X would love to have the minor roles that AJ has… $8 millions for a weekend of work in beowulf.

btw….at my theater 7pm showing AMC - Emeryville, there’s a long line before they allowed as to get into the theater and it was packed even at the seats near the screen….some folks didn’t have seats so they went out and wait for the next screening @ 8:45pm

this movie can compete w/ Wall-E…lots of young and old people and more women watch it and when we get out, another long line for the next screening….TRULY THIS MOVIE KICKED ASS… :-D

‘Wanted’ user reviews

http://www.movies.yahoo.com/feature/wanted-reviews.html

OMG….

I have to calm down, too much of a high, that movie!!!

let us all see it again and make it top the box office!

so in love with angelina!

especially loved her ending!

Thanks Konnitiwa for the info. Yes, you were right on. I hope Wanted hits the $50 mil mark by the end of the weekend. That would be so sweet.

“WALL-E” is for kids and a lot of kids go see it for their summer movie. And most of the kids especially the younger ones are accompanied by an adult or adults (like parents) to go and sit with them in the theater room. So that means, double or triple-ticket sales. Whereas “Wanted” is strickly for 18 yrs. and up. And maybe only for those who can stomach intense violence.

FRIDAY PM: Sources tell me that very early North American box office numbers show that Disney / Pixar’s Wall-E took in $23M Friday from 3,992 theaters for what should be high $60sM opening weekend including the Saturday matinee bump. This means Wall-E is big, but maybe not the biggest Pixar (which was The Incredibles at $70.5M). Disney is looking for a Best Picture Oscar nomination for the pic, possible with 100% great reviews from top critics and even rival studios bigwigs gushing about the pic: “It’s just adorable and smart and interesting. It has more character development and emotion than any movie I’ve seen this year.” One wrinkle in Wall-E’s marketing was that the 1 hour, 37 minute pic has no dialogue for the first 40 or so minutes. And it can be hard to market a character thatdoesn’t talk.

More and more, films with different ratings and different genres can happily coexist at the box office — Alvin And The Chipmunks and I Am Legend, American Gangster and Bee Movie. In the No. 2 place, Universal’s Angelina Jolie/James McAvoy starrer Wanted debuted to $18.5M Friday from 3,175 venues for what should be a bigger than expected $50+M weekend. (The studio only expected $35+M.) “In terms of comps, that would be an extraordinary result for an R-rated summer action movie,” a source tells me

This is the summer of angie,professionally and personally-these numbers for wanted will only increase her bragaining power and salary,the world is at her feet.-nice to be posting again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The deadlinehollywood people ain’t telling a lie. Wanted will do very well in the long run, if the movie theater keeps an eye out for propped doors ;) . I suspect that people will see this multiple times because of the special effects, the humor, and, hello, Angelina. For all of the talk about Angelina removing a lot of Fox’s dialogue, she was a very compelling character. For me, she picked up a lot of McAvoy’s slack (dude wasn’t bad, but it takes a while for him to grow a pair).

The best thing about this, for fans, is that for all of those people who criticized Angelina for doing this film after ‘promising’ to take a year off, they look like donkeys right now. Add to it all of the videos in Prague when Angelina and Brad were taking care of business while she was doing this… it adds fuel to the fact that these two are doing the right thing by each other and their kids. Angelina and Brad should really feel good about following the beat of their own drummers.

By the way before I went to see this movie a poster said Angie plays a very small part in this, not true.

thanks JJ;)

Who care about Jen this is Angie’s day.GO ANGELINA

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

Oh wow, Wanted is doing so well, I hope it will reach US$ 50, for its 3 day. Lol, I actually think Wall-e is underpeforming as the studio is expecting US$ 71m for opening week end to be its no. 1 biggest opening wk end not just 3rd biggest opening. The production cost is US$ 180m, Wanted is only US$ 65-75m. so its is Wanted who is overperforming!!!!! Yay, for Angie!!!!

Love, love the movie!!!

If this is true - production cost for Wall-E is $ 180 m USD, and Wanted is $65-75 (?), then the expected 48 -50 M gross for 3-day weekend will almost cover the production cost.

‘cant be sure if these figures are correct though. If we believe that Jolie was paid $15 M USD, and guessing MF and newcomer McAvoy were paid 8-10 M, and about 10 M more for all the other actors, what about director, writers etc, the stated total production cost of 65-75 seems too low ?

If these are all true - wow ! Wanted is doing fantastic for it’s 3-day run! $ 180 M production cost for animated film, Wall-E should also be doing well and will probably recoup.

And that’s only in the USA. International figures has not come in yet. Wanted is gold - pure gold and that would still be an understatement !

I saw it last night and these gore fests are not usually my type but it was better than I had expected.

The buzz was good but may women like me did the cover the eyes at some scenes lol.

It’s strange but didn’t this movie seem a little like Fight Club?

I wonder what Quentin Tarantino will think of this film and of Angelina? Has he ever expressed a desire to work woth her? I say this not because I think they should work together but this film could easily have been a Tarantino film.

Loved the movie and Angelina looks superrr hot. cnt wait till da movie is out on DVD.

Not sure this has been posted.

I remember way back when they announced she took this role they said she demanded a re-write of Fox, that she wasn’t doing any graphic naked or love/sex scenes that were written in the original. (which is full of sex, orgies, etc)

Bekmambetov, an established auteur in Russia, put his faith in Platt; they developed the story together with writers Michael Brandt & Derek Haas and Chris Morgan. Platt pushed the studio to hire the director’s Russian visual effects company, Bazelevs.
“Marc was very helpful to me,” says the director. “He’s the first Hollywood producer I’ve worked with. Working within another culture, I needed translators, so Marc was like my eyes. It created a good atmosphere to do something unusual and interesting. You always hear stories about how the studio is a monster that imprisons creative people, but that’s just a negative stereotype. I had freedom and support and much more resources.”
After Angelina Jolie signed on for a $15-million payday as a superstar assassin, the movie was a go. “Angelina was helpful and honestly, this movie happened because of her,” says Bekmambetov. “Not only is she beautiful, determined, focused, smart and athletic, but she’s also feminine and charming. She was also tough as nails during the creative process.”

My husband and I saw the 12:45 showing, there was more people at a mid-day showing than I expected. I thought the movie was very good. Fox was a badass, no doubt about it. I’m not really into McAvoy but I thought he did a decent job but felt that his part could have been played by others but no one could have played Fox but AJ, loved her smirks. Really loved Morgan Freeman

++++++++++++++++++++

I thought the best part about McAvoy playing the role was that it’s unexpected. He did say he auditioned for it once and didn’t get the part. Then they tested a bunch of other actors who were bigger and buffer and didn’t find any of them believable as the wimpy Wesley at the beginning of the movie. I thought McAvoy was good at progressing believably from wimp to assassin.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

It wasn’t necessairly for me about somone bigger or buffer and I thought he did a decent job but at the end of it I didn’t have that, he could be the only person I could see in that part feeling. Or I didn’t think that part was written (because it suited him so well) for him. With both Morganand AJ I had that feeling.

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

ITA! Wesley’s part could have been played by any other actor, like Tobey Mcquire or Shia Lebauff or Jake G. But Fox part, became what it was because of Angelina, its just her original interpretation and cant be done by anybody else. Somebody’s else’s interpretation would come out differently and may not be as cool and badass as Angelina’s.

I just love Angie. Hope she and Brad and the kids are all doing well. Can’t wait for the twins. God Bless the Jolie Pitt family. Can’t wait to see Wanted. My husband fractured his ankle yesterday so it won’t be this week-end. So keep posting all the good news about the movie PLEASE!!!!!

don’t you love how Angelina plays a charachter called Fox when there is a certain Fox in real life who thinks she’s Angelina?

As tiny as she is, I’ve read that she does most if not all of her stuntwork in this movie. Very cool.

I’d like to talk about Jolie expressive EYES ! She talks and acts with her eyes - a hallmark of a great actress.

In this movie, Wanted, her lines were surely not limited, but even more vocal and eloquent when need be, just with those EYES. There were times when her STARE alone will make you cringe with terror.
And when she is ANGRY - Good Lord watch out ! She swatted that bullet like no other’s business with those fiery EYES. Her SMIRKS alone - poor McAvoy ! Those EYES spoke those action pack scenes.

And when she was kissing McAvoy - her EYES said it all ! McAvoy’s ****** girl friend run amok with awe !

And when she walked with that bare back, and butt, her EYES seems to be behind her head saying “eat your heart out Jen !. She just have that ability !

EYES that can turn you stone cold, that can evoke sadness, that can be fiery, that can evoke raw sexuality, than can launch a thousand ships, and more …………

Forget about spoken words - ANGELINA’S EYES speak in a more eloquent tone !

Well… i went to see WANTED today.. n it was awesome, fantastic.. love angie as Fox ..the action scenes really good… love it!!!!

i’m going to see the movie, but not buying the DVD cuz i don’t have a big HD TV and that’s what you really need to appreciate the CG special affects. damn!

Awwww!

Angelina Jolie’s Missing Body Part: Found!

It was a tough call, but we narrowed down Angelina’s finest features to nine and let E! Online readers debate No. 10. Wow, did you have plenty to say.

Neer writes that her voice “draws anyone to listen intently.” Sportscapper is into her smile. Sailfish argues that “her long shapely legs are the best!” Stoner43 thinks “her kids are her best feature.” And Babysnake’s gotta admit “she has a great head of hair!”

But the most popular choice for Jolie’s 10th-best body part, is…

10. Heart. She’s opened her home to—so far—three orphans from around the world. Most us can’t say the same, and reader Xzavia is impressed: “She is sooo giving of herself.” And Lil argues that “she gives her heart in fighting for those that cannot.” As much as we like her legs, we have to agree.

Feeling complete, Angie?

============================

This is worth reposting. “onmyown”, your post is as usual fabulous. I always look forward to your opinions. It always makes me feel good & smile. I like the way you write. Hope you don’t mind, I saved some of your posts for my ready reference in the future, giving you the proper credit of course. I hope people like you will write more often.

About your post “angie’s eyes” in the movie Wanted, yes, I totally agree with you. Every time she’s on the screen, i tend to look at her eyes more than anything else. She really has her unique way with her eyes. The way she stares. It evokes lots of varied emotions. I particularly like the scene where she looks at Morgan after James failed to curve the bullet, & Morgan looks at Angie, no speaking lines on that moment yet the two speak volumes with their eyes “talking”. The movement of their eyes’ pupils are the ones making the conversation. It’s really awesome. For me, the star of the movie is Angie’s eyes, from beginning to end. And she’s the only celebrity i know who can do that, consistently.

is best we ignore coward trolls,they are as lame as ever

pure,we always do the same for brad,when ccobb come out,we will give it our fullest support as always

@ PURE
Stfu, you stupid troublemaker. Who says we don’t support Brad? In case you missed it troll, we support the JPs.

Now take your divisive self and bugger off.

dana @ 06/28/2008 at 10:47 am

I saw AOJJ in the theaters. Plenty of people support Brad. It just so happens that that particular movie opened in about 200 theaters, as opposed to Wanted’s 3000. When Burn After Reading and Benjamin Button open, you’ll see plenty of gushing over them.

As Angelina Jolie proves in the new thriller ”Wanted,” skin art has a way of marking movie and TV roles in our memories. Here are some of our favorites, from Robert De Niro in ”Cape Fear” to Katee Sackhoff in ”Battlestar Galactica”

ANGELINA JOLIE
Wanted (2008)

Angelina Jolie mixes the old (some of her own real tattoos) with the new (a ”toil” on the underside of one arm and ”tears” on the other…among other faked ink) as part of an age-old fraternity of assassins. She plays Fox (naturally), who’s responsible for showing the ropes (and how to curve a bullet) to James McAvoy’s apprentice hitman.

Sony unveils new 4K projector
Demoing new equipment at Cinema Expo
By Carl DiOrio

June 25, 2008, 06:00 PM ET

AMSTERDAM — The trade show floor at Cinema Expo 2008 is filled with the customary popcorn, theater-seat and tech vendors, but Sony Electronics reps are steering prospective customers to a secret demo suite to view something potentially much more watershed.

Sony has unveiled a 4K digital projector with easy adaptability to 3-D projection. Previously, two of the pricey projectors were necessary to rig an auditorium for 4K 3-D, preventing the wide use of the high-resolution systems for 3-D exhibition.

Once considered the next-generation technology for digital cinema, Sony’s 4K systems have been struggling to overcome cost and manufacturing woes, and more conventional 2K d-cinema systems have remained the prevalent hardware in the marketplace. So Sony executives — hoping soon to remedy the additional 3-D headache — are demonstrating prototypes of the new 4K projectors with the aim of bringing the hardware to market by Christmas.

Earlier in the day, two more studios offered energetic slate presentations.

Warner Bros. showed a brief montage of clips from “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,” a sixth installment in the $4.48 billion franchise that’s set for a holidays release. By video, Daniel Radcliffe also introduced a “Harry” retrospective.

Warners international distribution president Veronika Kwan-Rubinek told exhibitors that “Prince” would be distributed in “digital, 35mm and Imax, with select scenes in 3-D.”

Exhibitors also saw new footage from another fourth-quarter debutante — “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett — and got a peek at the first trailer for the fall’s Leonardo DiCaprio-Russell Crowe starrer “Body of Lies,” with a brief intro by director Ridley Scott. An extended clip from Guy Ritchie’s fall-slotted “Rocknrolla,” starring Gerald Butler, Tom Wilkinson and Jeremy Piven, drew a good audience reaction.

Warners also screened its soon-to-bow Batman sequel “The Dark Knight” in a local Imax auditorium, the first time the Christian Bale starrer had been screened in the Imax format. Helmer Christopher Nolan shot about 30 minutes of the two-hour, 25-minute film with Imax cameras.

Disney, which followed its slate presentation with an evening screening of this weekend’s animated feature “Wall-E,” presented trailers and sneak peeks from year-end titles. Those included the youthful sequel “High School Musical 3: Senior Year,” the family comedy “Beverly Hills Chihuahua” and “Bolt,” its 3-D-animated feature about a TV star superdog.

Angelina saves summer (AG - Yes She does!!! *In the tune of Obama’s Yes We Can song*

By Feet Banks

Angelina Jolie isn’t the best actress in the world (I’m giving that title to Cate Blanchett these days, due in part to her performance in that Bob Dylan movie I’m Not There) but there is no one I’d rather watch on the silver screen. Angelina is, of course, this era’s biggest celebrity — that perfect mix of talent, lips, worldly compassion, intelligence, sex appeal and grit — but what makes her different from past Hollywood icons like Marilyn Monroe or Jean Harlow is that Angie isn’t afraid to get her hands bloody and blow some **** up. Miss Jolie is back in kick-ass mode this week in Wanted , opening Friday, certainly the best action flick of the summer thus far.

Based on a comic book by the always-excellent Mark Miller, Wanted stars James McAvoy in another great fantasy of empowerment scenario. McAvoy is Wes, a total ***** office drone with a hag boss, a **** girlfriend who’s getting nailed by his (not-so) best friend and, to top it off, he suffers from panic attacks. Luckily, his father used to be a super-secret assassin and before long foxy Angelina shows up and brings him into the fold of the Fraternity, a group of mysterious assassins who have been around for 1,000 years, murdering evil-doers and letting the ends justify the means — “kill one, save a thousand.”

The Fraternity is headed by Morgan Freeman who finally gets to drop some Samuel Jackson-sized “F” bombs and who also helps Wes realize his genetic killing potential and ability to shoot curveball bullets. Pretty soon Wes is restoring balance to the universe and realizing that ultimate power can corrupt as well.

First off, Angelina Jolie could make an art film about unloading a pick-up truck full of newborn puppies with a pitchfork and tossing them into an oven and I’d still call it the best movie of the summer, so yeah, this is a biased review, but Wanted is actually pretty epic. Russian director Timur Bekmambetov brings fresh ideas and a love for slow-mo ridiculousness to the action genre and creates the kind of fun, fast, R-rated action film we’ve been waiting for since The Matrix. Bekmambetov made waves internationally with his Russian vampire/sci-fi flicks NightWatch and DayWatch and here, in his first American film, he proves that the hype was real — this guy is no joke.

Neither is James McAvoy, whom my supermodel girlfriend says, “is really cute even though the ending of Atonement was total ****.” James pulls off the action hero much the same way Robert Downey Jr. pulled off Iron Man , by taking it seriously. The acting, stunts, camerawork and ideas in Wanted are a non-stop assault of awesomeness, and even though I was wishing for a bigger role Angelina is in fine, fine form – looking sassy, contorting into all sorts of nifty poses and just proving why she’s the most watchable woman in the history of history.

Hi guys, now I know I’ve been MIA and would probably have to go through the whole process of having my badge reinstated but I gotta make this request to all JP Fans…

Please stop comparing Rachel Green to THE MOST WATCHABLE WOMAN IN THE HISTORY OF HISTORY. (Not just history…History OF History! Come now..can it get any better than this? I think not)

It is an INSULT, I tells ya! It’s like comparing fresh top of the cart Apples to bottom of the barrel 10 day old prunes. It’s just not right!!!

CHOOSE YOUR DESTINY…hmmm, quite appropriate for the BP and AJ, no?

They didn’t let their fans do it for them.

They didn’t let idiots who can’t discern real from fake do it for them.

They didn’t let bitter hags who have their heads buried in Golden Coupledom do it for ‘em.

And the tabloids…Aah, they don’t even register.

Yep, they chose their own destiny.

A’ight I’m done…was just on a high from seeing Wanted.

An interview with my future baby daddy. A girl can dream. I kid!!!!

Geffen recording artist Common is steadfastly making his mark on celluloid. Common’s character Gunsmith, a weapons master in Universal Pictures’ action-packed feature, Wanted sizzles on screen. If The Matrix and The Transporter had a baby it would be Wanted. With its breath-taking stunts, special effects and the soon-to-be copied ‘curving bullet’ trick Wanted will leave the audience wanting more. Witness the birth of a franchise. Even with all of the high-powered treats Common holds his own.
With roles in major motion pictures like American Gangster and Smokin’ Aces, the sky is the limit for this rapper/writer/entrepreneur/actor. Co-staring with Angelina Jolie, Morgan Freeman and James McAvoy, Common continues to make his mark.

Urban Network had the pleasure to sit down with this multi-talented artist to talk about his latest role, his upcoming release, Invincible Summer and further film projects.

So I’m gonna jump into it, are you tired of killing people in movies?

Common: (Laughing) Well yeah, but if I say that I’m hypocritical because I’m about to be in Terminator 4. I’m in Terminator 4, so I’m obviously gonna be like killing somebody in there, at least it’s the machines we are killing in that film. But I would love to take on rolls that reflect other things as far as what I’m doing. I would love to play in a love story, romantic comedy or a drama. Maybe play a preacher, but something different anything that’s a great role and I can show some range and really do something different and stretch.

How do you balance music and your acting career these days?

Common: Man I was really excited about this film, for me, when I was filming Wanted, I was at the end of recording my last album which was called Finding Forever. I fit these two worlds in because they both help each other. I feel a lot more free doing music and when I’m doing movies it takes pressure off the music. I’m actually having more fun with the music because I’m doing movies. I guess that’s because that isn’t my only source of expression anymore. I’m actually putting out an album and it has been the quickest that I have recorded an album ever. The album is called Invincible Summer, coming out in August.

jaye,is only lunatic haters who will say that,they are losing their *****ing minds

From slate.com

And Jolie is, well, Angelina Jolie, the closest thing we have to a real-life superhero. Just think about it: She seems to be everywhere at once, never ages, travels the world crusading for right, and can easily be pictured crouched atop a gargoyle on the Chrysler Building. Perhaps the ultimate coup of Jolie stunt casting was the role of Grendel’s mother, the gorgeous she-monster of Robert Zemeckis’ Beowulf. But Fox, the infallible superassassin she plays here, comes in as a close second.

Angelina is an icon of our generation.

…nah, bdj, I can see that…you and Common?…why not?…go for it…haha

Hello lovely ladies. How are you doing? I couldn’t not come out of lurkdom for this. Soon, very soon I shall return to my original full time, all the time, day and night, 24/7 status. Do…do you ladies remember those days…when they used to say we had no life? Remember when I was called the 800 pound gorrila on this site?

*Sigh*

Oh man! Those were the days…now everyone is about work, work, spending time with the kids, quality time with the hubby and partner, enjoying the weather. (Gag me!) God! It’s changed…it’s all changed but can you do, eh?

Anyhoo, our girl is kicking major behind and she looks darn good doing it. I swear, in my next life I’m coming back as Fox.
