OlderBrad Pitt Pays Tribute To Bernie Mac
Brad Pitt, George Clooney and other cast members of the Ocean’s trilogy have paid tribute to their co-star Bernie Mac, after his tragic death on Saturday.
Pitt said, “I lament the loss of a ferociously funny and hardcore family man. My thoughts are with Rhonda and their family. Bernie Mac, you are already missed.”
Clooney lamented, ”The world just got a little less funny. He will be dearly missed.”
Don Cheadle, who also starred in the Ocean’s films, added: “This is a very sad day for many of us who knew and loved Bernie. He brought so much joy to so many. He will be missed but heaven just got funnier.”
Samuel L Jackson, who costars with Mac in Soul Men (out later this year), said, “It goes without saying that Bernie was one of the pre-eminent comedians of our generation. He was also an attentive husband, a great father and loving grandfather. I feel blessed to have shared years of friendship with Bernie Mac, and I’m honored to have finally co-starred with him in what I consider to be his finest cinematic acting achievement.”

Sorry need to disagree with Angie!
That was in evidence earlier this year after her trip to Iraq, when she wrote an op-ed in the Washington Post, “Staying to Help in Iraq,” in which she argued that the U.S. should step up financial and material assistance to Iraq — not withdraw from its commitment in the region
Excuse me we are borrowing money from China at an unprecedented rate our economy is going down hill as the Iraq ’s sit on over 80 BILLION dollars in oil money! We are rebuilding without any help from the Iraq gov’t.
What we cannot afford, in my view, is to squander the progress that has been made.”
What progress, we invaded a sovereign nation that had done nothing to us, not responsible for 911, no WMD’s while, their leader was a dictator and despicable man, women at least had rights. The right to own property , businesses to hold positions of power. Since our invasion, honor killings have become the norm, with no prosecution. The Islamic fundamentalists now have a better footing in the country setting women, children, Christians and Jews back. On MSNBC today there is an article saying the Iraq’s want a time line for us to get out! While I know that Angie is a wonderful humanitarian and a woman high moral principle, we can’t always expect other countries to adopt what we believe to be the best way. Iraq at one point was the one place in the Middle East that women and children had a voice, that was before we invaded. I’m very aware of the slaughter of the Kurds, Saddam will *********** for that, it doesn’t negate the fact that there are genocides taking place all over the world and our gov’t only steps in when there is oil at stake! Women and children be damned!
Getting off my soapbox.
Man…
These past seven days have taken a very depressing turn.
First, Morgan Freeman got into a terrible car crash (and we found out his marriage has ended); then Bernie Mac died; and now, Isaac Hayes.
And to think… last week, many of us were so excited, waiting for the Knox and Vivienne’s pics.
So flipping depressing.
Was thinking about BM… he could make me laugh without
saying a word, just with an expression, great comedy timing
WoW! such a lost.. looking forward to Soul Men.

So very true, thing is.. not sure why it happens this way, one right after another, but thank god Morgan will be alright. They say things happen in threes I pray this is the end of it.
I loved Angelina’s oped a few months ago. I agree with it. I supported the surge and think it would be huge mistake to leave Iraq too soon.I won’t go further in details since I don’t want this to turn into a long political discussion esp since it is a condolence thread.
Hi Sherri, Piper, Dina and the rest of the JP fans.

One of our local channels had a BM marathon today, I was laughing myself silly, then I checked MSNBC and saw the news about Isaac…
Damn, Bernie, Morgan and Isaac are all in Soul Man!
Angie was talking about the refugees in iraq, the surge allowed the UNHRC workers to go into the field to help the refugees, that’s what she meant when she said the progress we made,she doesn’t want the US to pull out without a plan for the refugees.She has never said she was pro or con about the invasion, her sole goal was to make sure the refugees are taken care of-this view of angie’s is not new.
R.I.P Bernie. You will be truly missed.

Happy Sunday tabitha! Sorry I jumped on my soap box! I know we have differing opinions, we talked about them in the past. Maybe another time on a more appropriate thread we can continue the discussion. I may not agree with your opinion but I respect it. Hope your having a wonderful Sunday, even with all the sad news.
Now I know why I woke up sad the other day =( It’s like the darkness before a storm. I hope everyone lives a long ans prosperous life and he co-stars all had beautiful words.
Out of respect for Bernie Mac please don’t turn this page into a Brad or Angelina thread.
Sheri - hi there!
What is the movie Soul Man about?

Hey bermy! Good to see you here! From what I know it about two soul singing legends that haven’t spoken in years, they agree to a reunion in tribute to their recently deceased friend at the Apollo. Sounds really fun! Kind of weird that Bernie, Morgan and Isaac all are in the movie….
Bernie Mac & Isaac Hayes are now in good hands. They will be missed. God bless.
SORRY! Samuel L Jackson, not Morgan is in the movie Soul Man! MY BAD!
RIP Bernie Mac
Thanks Jared for the new thread
Sheri - thanks I hadn’t heard anything about it.
Always good to see you posting, too.
