David Fincher Talks about TCOBB

I don’t think you can take a small amount of semi reviews and detemine how the film will do. Just before Departed came out there were online critics calling it formula - typical of police/mob drama. Then it goes on to win the Oscar.

Where did all the misbehaving celebrities go?
By Nara Schoenberg | Tribune reporter

November 17, 2008
Britney Spears—she of the shaved head, the toxic boyfriends and the serial wardrobe malfunctions—hasn’t embarrassed herself in months. Noted party girl Lindsay Lohan, who did two stints in rehab last year, is going around saying she is “different” and “happy now.”

Even Angelina Jolie, the queen of the modern-day celebrity soap opera, has nothing better to offer her fans than a breast-feeding photo and the news that her 4-month-old twins are—gasp!—developing personalities. (sorry but for us fans that’s plenty thank you)

Is it just us, or is America yawning?

Some will say that the big stories of recent—the economic downturn and the election—have replaced celebrity news in the public imagination. But last week’s hoopla over the complete non-revelation that Jennifer Aniston didn’t appreciate Jolie’s rapturous public statements about falling for Pitt (while he was still married to Aniston), suggests the appetite for Hollywood gossip continues undiminished.

The lull in celebrity news has been marked by bottom-of-the-barrel scoops (Nicole Richie’s baby’s nickname!), lackluster covers (Jenny McCarthy declares herself a really great mom—again!) and too much speculation about Madonna and soon-to-be ex Guy Ritchie (He said she was too skinny! She said he was a wimp!).

In recent years, America’s fascination with celebrity news has risen side by side with a general fascination with the very young, very rich, very beautiful and/or very thin.

But gossip industry insiders have said that the caliber of 21st Century celebrity news has also been a key factor in the genre’s success.

From Angelina alone, we had the movie-stars-in-love story line, the Team Aniston versus Team Jolie story line and the victory of Team Jolie. Then there was Pitt’s adoption of Maddox and Zahara, the birth of Shiloh, the couple’s first biological child and the adoption of Pax. Those who thought the domestic story line had played itself out underestimated Jolie, who got pregnant again—with twins!

That development, with the dramatic downward spiral of Spears, the combustion of the storied Meg Ryan-Dennis Quaid marriage (with a cameo by Russell Crowe), the openness of the Nicole Kidman camp after her sudden separation from Tom Cruise and Cruise’s subsequent couch-jumping for Katie Holmes, made for a golden age of Hollywood gossip.

The present dry spell could, of course, be just the lull before the storm. George Clooney could get engaged tomorrow. Maybe to Paris Hilton. But barring that windfall, celebrity watchers are left to read recycled “revelations” about the early days of the Jolie-Pitt romance and wonder, could this be the beginning of the end?

You are a troll.

Angelina Jolie cries over mother as she discusses Changeling

From Times Online

November 17, 2008

Angelina Jolie blinked back tears today as she told journalists in London that her role in new film Changeling reminded her of her late mother.

The actress, visiting the UK to promote the Clint-Eastwood directed movie which opens next week, said her character, whose son goes missing, was similar to her actress mother Marcheline Bertrand, who died from cancer in 2007.

Tears welled in Jolie’s eyes and her voice broke as she remembered her mother: “She was very much Christine Collins. She was very sweet and she would never get angry and she would never swear, but when it came to her kids she was fierce, so this was very much her story.”

The mother-of-six also confirmed that she was winding down her acting career. “I’m not making some retirement announcement but I have a big family and a lot of responsibility at home.”

The actress, who brought her four-month-old twins to London with her, said she planned to make a movie every one to two years and imagined she would eventually step away from the film industry.

Despite her glamorous image as one half of a Hollywood super couple, Jolie, whose partner is Brad Pitt, told journalists that she had spent much of the past year at home in her pyjamas colouring in with her children.

The early reviews for Button haven’t been good. Hopefully this will change once the movie opens. I’m looking forward to seeing this atleast once but I’ve been reading about people leaving disappointed after a screening.

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

ROTFLMAO. Where are your links? There have been exactly THREE reviews for CCOBB - 1 that said it was a good but not great movie (popculture.com); and 2 (Variety) that said it was fantastic and a classic.

I gave my sources…where are yours?

so angelina IS in london today. why was the premiere cancelled yesterday sunday 16th if angelina was coming to the u.k the next day. she was unavailable for sunday but o.k for monday? i guess the other 4 kids are with brad in berlin, and angelina managed to get into london unseen, so the simon mayo interview was pre-recorded from earlier today.

so angelina could either stay over-night in london and go on GMTV live tomorrow morning or GMTV will show the interview they did with her today, tomorrow morning.

just heard the premiere for changeling in the u.k is tonight in london. i am not sure if brad is even in london so that will get the gossips going if angelina turns up on her own.

Not sure Angelina is in London today. Can’t determine that from info provided so far. Times could be wrong as to her being in London in person as she took the twins with her to NYC in Oct.

Very conflicting info re the interviews, sound as it they might all have been done at the same time in NYC in OCT.

Anyone who sees the GMTV interview can tell us if they were live or not.

I suggest wait and see when other interview (s) were done. Don’t just jump to conclusions when there have been no actual sightings of Angelina in London for an interview. OK?
