That’s nice but what has this got to do with Brad Pitt?
I don’t want him doing comic book characters like Captain America or Thor.

#305 or PT
Like Bagger Vance, Ali, Pursuit of Happyness, Trial of Chicago Seven?
Face it, Will Smith is just more likable and a bigger star. He’s the only star who consistently performs. Pitt is hit and miss at the box office and ageing quickly. Pitt’s reputation and tabloid attention far outweighs his box office success. He’s famous for who he sleeps with. Hooking up with Gwyneth, Jennifer and now Jolie has served him well.
++++++++++++++++
ROTFL. You idiot. You completely missed the point - which is that Brad doesn’t chose his roles based on potential box office appeal and Will, by his own admission, does. No one said that Will Smith only made popcorn movies. The point is that Will himself has stated that he set out with a game plan to conquer the box office and chose action and sci fi movies based on the knowledge that those are the types of movies that do boffo business at theaters.
Let’s do a little comparison shopping, ‘kay? Tell me how many of Will Smith’s dramatic turns took in more than $200MIL WORLDWIDE?
- Six Degrees of Separation - $6,284,090
- Legend of Bagger Vance - $39,235,486
- Ali - $85,300,000
- The Pursuit of Happyness - $304,286,036
- Trial of the Chicago Seven hasn’t even been made yet.
Now tell me how many of Will Smith’s action, sci-fi or comedy flix crossed the $200MIL worldwide plateau…
- Independence Day - $817,400,878
- Men In Black = $589,390,539
- Men In Black II - $441,818,803
- Enemy of the State - $250,300,000 (Will’s first movie where he was THE STAR, not co-Star)
- Wild Wild West - $217,700,000
- Bad Boys 2 - $272,540,870
- I Robot - $348,801,023
- Shark Tale - $363,192,000
- Hitch - $366,784,257
- I Am Legend - $583,686,216
- Hancock (so far) - $351,634,779
Let see if you came up with the same totals I did:
Dramas - 1
Action/Sci-fi/Comedy - 11
I rest my case. Once again…do your homework and come up with the numbers to support your claims. Will has done 4 dramas…and 11 OTHER MOVIE TYPES. Will knows which movies are keeping Bentleys in his garage even if you don’t.

Do you know what 2008 films so have made the most money in the worldwide box office?? I’m pretty sure Iron Man and Indiana Jones are up there.

you better get used to it.that’s how twins specially Knox will look like in 20 years from now.look at Shi,she is spitting image of Jon Voight right now,and boys usually looks so much like their maternal uncle.
I hope I will be wrong,but Angie’s genes are stronger than Brad from what I can see in Shiloh,and that will make twins to go to her side more than Brad,just like Shiloh.so they will look more like Angie’s father and her brother than Brads’.
Sorry Iam little late but I jut want to talk concerning the incident which happened in Nice in front of the hospital last time.
Nice is a very beautiful town but there is a lot problems there like many towns in France.
A lot of racism, insecurity plus, in this town, majority are old people and many repatried coming from Algeria. I suupose some wanted to create some tensions between communities !!
So those who were in front the hospital knew what they were doing it was a big opportunity for them to be in front the cameras and to be listen by all the media when we all know that in fact only one thing is important for these journalists the Twins !!
In this kind of situation there is a lot administrative procedures you can’t simply release a dead body just like that it is impossible and that the family knows but it was a way maybe to accelerate the Administration !!
The death of a person and especially of a child is a such grief and pain.
But why to blame JP family for such incident they have nothing to do with is and the media knows this but as no infos is linking from the doc or the JP, they want to create drama because they have to say something wrong to break the happiness of the JP, that everybody in the world seems to share !!
Otherwise how they will justify such long stay in a town … for nothing !!
No PHOTOS, NEWS … No money !!
Concerning the Mayor for infos this man was for 9 months the Minister of Overseas in France, he was in charge of issues related to the overseas departments and territories).
He has resigned from this post this year to look after his town Nice !!!
So he knows what to do and what not to do !!
So the fame I don’t think he need it, he is simply HAPPY for the JP family and of course for his town, it is a very simple feeling, the Joy but unfortunatly some here have no feelings so how can they understand what I am talking about !!
Otherwise Peace and Love to all of you and sorry for this very long post !!
mcconaughey managed to get 3m from the same mag
—————
I can’t believe he got paid more than Jessica Alba!!
OT:I actually think that Tim Burton’s Batman are the best. But hey whadda I know? Being a darker sinister Batman doesn’t necessarily make it better. I’m just waiting for someone to do a campy technicolor Batman film like the tv show, complete with super bright colors, tights, Pucci prints and everything. Now that’s comedy. I would also make it a period piece set in the swinging tecnhicolor 60’s. Groovy man. lol. Amy Winehouse can make a cameo appearancein it as a slacker anti-reab blues singer by day and batgirl, helping save the world by night. Hollywood needs to get a sense of humor again or should I say, the public needs to?
bla blah @ 07/17/2008 at 12:32 pm
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Are you crazy? Matthew is a bigger movie star than Alba will ever be. Where are you people from? You obviously don’t know movies. Lay off the trash blogs. I’m surprised that anyone really cares about Alba to give her that much. That’s the outrage. What has she done of note? I mean she just an actress among hundreds of actresses. Please.

IMDB? Please. That’s the reason you posted what you did. That explains it. Lay off those consumer sites and hit the industry sites. Gah!!!!!!!!!
Brad & Angelina’s Pals Send Well Wishes – and Offer to Babysit!
By Michelle Tauber and Mary Green
Originally posted Thursday July 17, 2008 12:35 PM EDT
If new parents – again! – Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie need a night out alone, at least one famous friend has already volunteered to help.
“I’m willing to babysit for them!” Jolie’s pal Wyclef Jean tells PEOPLE in this week’s cover story. The musician, who has partnered with the couple for his Yéle Haiti charity in the past, says he has no doubt they can handle their brood of six now that twins Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Léon are here.
“They will do well,” he says. “I have a lot of well wishes for them.”
So do many of Jolie’s costars, including Michael Kelly, who appears with her in the upcoming Clint Eastwood-directed drama The Changeling.
“I saw her with kids on-set and she’s just such a wonderful mom,” Kelly tells PEOPLE. “You see her with the kids and it’s like, ‘Yeah, that’s the way it’s supposed to be.’ ”
Since the twins’ emotional birth in Nice, France, on July 12, Jolie and the babies have remained at the scenic Fondation Lenval hospital. Dr. Michel Sussmann, who delivered the babies, told PEOPLE everyone is doing “very well” following a July 14 checkup.
When Vivienne, Knox and Jolie are released, likely in the next few days, they are expected to return to the Château Miraval, where the family is staying until they return to the U.S. in the fall.
For the complete story, including the origins of Vivienne and Knox’s names and Brad’s tearful reaction to the birth, pick up this week’s PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday.

New Overseas Box Office Totals (as of July 16, updated today)

BitDefender researchers said they have identified a new wave of spam messages that use fake events related to actor Angelina Jolie in order to trick us into downloading and installing Trojan malware onto our computers.
This new campaign of spreading malware is mostly carried via spam messages based around an alleged adult video footage with the movie star. In order to watch the movie, you have to download binary file, ‘video–anjelina.avi.exe’, which is infected with Trojan.Agent.AGGZ.
The spam message is comprised of an explicit image of Angelina Jolie, along with some text claiming that the mail has been sent as part of the MSN Featured Offers program. The text message plays a double role by it trying to trick the user into thinking that this is a legitimate news message and by preventing spam filters from labelling the entire mail as spam message.
This is not the only incident involving Angelina Jolie. Recently, the actor has given birth to two children, and spammers took advantage of the event in order to infect more computers. The spam campaign following the event wrongfully announced the fact that Jolie gave birth to no less than five children, and even offered users a link to a Web site allegedly hosting a small video with the event. The announcement, combined with Angelina Jolie’s fame was meant to take advantage of users’ hunger for sensational events.

Oh, man. The lot of you in here cannot speak, spell, proofread, etc. (”sonia” = needs a grammar class), so who are you to judge who’s a “bad” actor or not? While they make more money than they should, neither has starred in a movie together, so this is MONEY for whomever picks up this flick. Unless it’s bad. QT has made terrif movies, but a couple of them needed some deodorizing since they stunk so bad. But he ought to think of tossing Tim Roth a role in it–can’t go wrong with him, and he’s been a good luck charm to QT since his career took off in the early ’90s!
i love pt, she’s so smart.

I saw a free screening last week. It was cute. I thought Julie Walters was wonderful. Pierce Brosnan cannot sing and had the audience laughing when he did. First time I’ve been to a movie theater where the audience got up and started dancing and singing. LOL!
Waves and best wishes to JP fans.

To Rossy40:
Brad Pitt did not get the role in the Departed for Leo, Scorcese did. Marty and Leo collaborate on a lot together if you hadn’t noticed. A fantastic director like Scorcese has recognized a fantastic actor in Leo, that’s why he’s in all his movies.
++++++++++++++++
Ummmm…actually…IIRC…you’re both wrong. It was BRAD GREY who was overseeing The Departed at Plan B and he convinced Scorsese to read the script and look at the project. But Brad Grey had already appreoached DiCaprio when he contacted Scorsese. It was Brad Pitt who wanted and held out for Matt Damon to be cast in the other lead role.
Brad Grey did a lot of work on TD before handing it over to Graham King and Scorsese and that’s why he was lobbying so hard to get his name included as a producer when it was nommed for an Academy Award. Remember that big brouhaha?
where are Brad’s families?I mean seriously?shouldn’t they come to visit their kids as well?
I thought you claimed they were there even before babies were born.but there was/is no visitation from them.
Angie’s bro has visited there at least twice and has been there before the birth.this calls support.I really start to think Angie is not that much good with his family,and she doesn’t want them around her kids.
isn’t it weird?
# 464 QQQQ @ 07/17/2008 at 10:50 am
Oh yeah, i forgot to add, are you gonna come back this week-end and tell us how much better this movie did at the B/O than Wanted.
+++++++++++++
Hehehehehehe. 4Q - I thought maybe we could have a TDK/Hancock numbers comparison. Cuz ya know I’m gonna throw TDK’s numbers in Mr. Will Smith Stalker’s face…
hello, dedicated jolie pitt fans, can’t wait to see the babies.

Maybe they were already there in the hospital?? Jolie hasn’t been photographed since Cannes, yet we all know she is there at the hospital. You don’t need a photograph for proof that someone is there.

Bu-bu-bu-but…ET said Angie was leaving the hospital YESTERDAY! Surely they wouldn’t get that wrong?
# 472 raye @ 07/17/2008 at 11:42 am
I am so watching Mama Mia instead of The Dark Knight. I find all Batman movies really silly!
++++++++++++++++
I’ll go see TDK for the hotness that is Christian Bale…but it won’t be this weekend. I’ll probably wait 3 weeks and let the crowds die down…
