Brad Pitt is Lieut. Aldo Raine

tres jolie, of course you agree with the idiot.

Why does it bother some people so that one person has expressed an opinion that Brad Pitt is highly overrated? I don’t understand the kneejerk reaction. It’s curious and smacks of weird insecurity and oddball transference. I really think Leo DiCaprio, Daniel Day Lewis, Russell Crowe, Christian Bale and Johnny Depp are probably the most talented male actors out there. But if any of you disagreed, I certainly would get my knickers in a bunch and react with personal attacks.

Get help people…it’s out there.

(Btw…has it ever occurred to any of you that my agenda is not to malign your precious hero or defend Jennifer Aniston….nor is to have civil discourse with any of you on the entertainment industry. Perhaps all I want is for loons to make idiots of themselves and prove what nutjobs they truly are. Food for thought don’t you think?)

Why the Venice Lido is a launchpad for the Oscars

As the lineup for the Venice film festival is announced, we blow the whistle for awards season kick-off
Jeremy Kay guardian.co.uk, Wednesday July 30 2008

The Venice lineup of US entries is skimpy this year because the writers strike in the first quarter slowed down production. As a result the studios are holding back some of their big guns until later in the year because otherwise, well, they wouldn’t have much to get excited about come November and December. Mueller and his team previously announced that the Coen brothers’ dark CIA comedy Burn After Reading will open the event and, while an Oscar win for a comedy is about as unlikely as a snowstorm in July, it would take a brave pundit to bet against Joel and Ethan, who won three statuettes for No Country For Old Men back in February.

Speaking of early contenders, Toronto, which unveils its lineup in a piecemeal way over the course of several weeks, has secured a world premiere berth for The Duchess starring Keira Knightley as the outspoken 18th century Duchess of Devonshire. Knightley will face stiff competition from Angelina Jolie, whose work as a traumatised mother in Clint Eastwood’s period mystery Changeling
mesmerised critics in Cannes.

That Jolie, Knightley, Jenkins and the late Heath Ledger have gained early traction in the race is down to Hollywood’s massive publicity machine. Studios hire awards consultants who in turn start to draft campaigns in the summer and spend the ensuing months making sure we never stop hearing about this actor or that film. It’s like Chinese water torture. TV ads in the US are already talking up Emma Thompson’s “Oscar-worthy” performance as Lady Marchmain in the British feature adaptation of Brideshead Revisited.

Can’t wait for Venice Film Festival. We will see Brad possible Angie too. I miss them.

So if Brad is doing this IB movie, and he did Tree of Life, he has two movies coming out next year. But Angie won’t have one, unless she does The Mercenary (Atlas Shrugged seems so far from being written to her satisfaction). Hmmm, after we had our fill of two movies this year, with one more coming in November, there will suddenly be a void and we will be missing Angie for a while. I hope she does something really quick (in terms of shooting) that will be shown next year.

This sucks. ZERO Jolie films for 2009. Instead we’ll be seeing Maniston promoting her films.

We will see Brad and Angie together on RC when Brad will promote his movies next year. I read Tree of Life will be shown at Cannes next year. Maybe QT will take IB to Cannes too. I think we will see them a lot next year.

If Changeling is also premiering at TIFF, then we are going to see Brad and Angie together for sure because BAR is showing at TIFF.

OMG, PAPAPITT IS SOOOOOOO GORGEOUS.
LOVE YOU BRAD.

I will always support Brad & Angie movies. I hope, they make another movie together. They are so good looking on the red carpet together.

Love these new posts, Jared–thanks! Hi to all JP fans!

I remember the days when a mama with six children stayed at home with the babies, too exhausted to do anything but take a tranquilizer every now and then… Angie does EVERYTHING!!! If she doesn’t make a film this year (along with her UN duties), it won’t be long…. Still can’t wait to see the new little ones.
