OlderBrad Pitt: Happy Birthday, Pax!
USA Today has a great new article on Brad Pitt and David Fincher, the director for their upcoming age-reversing film The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Here are two of the most interesting paragraphs from said piece:
“To play Button as a senior citizen, [Brad] had to be caked in makeup and wear prosthetic noses and scalps. For much of the movie, he abandons his own body entirely, providing a face and voice that are digitally imposed on other actors including a dwarf, a disabled man and children of all ages.”
“The [Button] set was placed on ‘Pitt Patrol.’ There were body doubles and decoy cars. Pitt’s driver never crossed an intersection when it turned green. He waited for it to turn yellow to leave law-abiding photographers at the red light, though few obeyed the signal.”
Check out the full article at USAToday.com. Button opens on Christmas Day.
Today is Pax Jolie-Pitt’s 5th birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PAX!!!

Oscar contenders or flops?

• “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”: Brad Pitt is shaping up as the best character actor ever to inhabit a handsome movie star’s body. In this adaptation of a F. Scott Fitzgerald short story, he plays a man with a bizarre medical condition that causes him to age backwards. Director David Fincher (who worked with Pitt in “Seven” and “Fight Club”) gives the tale a lush, stately look; his peerless command of cutting-edge film technology should come into play as Pitt regresses from 90 to 8. Cate Blanchett, Tilda Swinton, Julia Ormond and Elias Koteas costar. The deliciously creepy composer Andre Desplat wrote the score; Oscar winner Eric Roth (”Forrest Gump,” but still) wrote the screenplay.
Dec. 26
• “Valkyrie”: On the plus side, there’s immense drama in this true-life tale of German military officers engineering a conspiracy to assassinate Hitler. Director Bryan Singer is a dramatic and visual craftsman, and “Apt Pupil” proved he knows how to make Nazi uniforms look elegantly evil. The cast boasts Kenneth Branagh, Bill Nighy, Tom Wilkinson and Eddie Izzard, the cream of Britain’s acting pool. On the down side, we have Tom Cruise playing lead plotter Col. Claus von Stauffenberg with a Malibu accent, and hammer-it-dead expository dialogue about the true nature of patriotism. Did we mention he has a dead hand and an eye patch? Cross your fingers, jawohl?
liz loca, go back to the other thread where they pimp the baby everyday.

Somebody unchained Shitzy from radiator and she’s off her meds again. Just igg it.
Jill @ 11/30/2008 at 4:00 pm
Ritzy gave up her day job of spamming JJB with negative articles and reviews on AJ to come to Just Jared to whine about BP and AJ. The girl has some serious issues or an employee of Huvane/Whiny. It is funny how obsessed the troll is with BP and AJ. I just laugh at the nonsense.

Jill @ 11/30/2008 at 4:06 pm
They just come back with a new name on that board.
correction re-#222-( where are my manners? )sorry, like i said before, i have time on my hand today lol, also brad looks delicious for a father of six beautiful children, also i heard a new song from this fantastic artist, that i would like to see a video made to it, it really does sum up brad and angelina relationship, but i have no ideal how to make those videos like you fans, could any one please help me and make one? is it hard to do? time consuming? if you can do it,…. the song is by. ARTIST-James Morrison from BRITIST UK- SONG IS- YOU MAKE IT REAL FOR ME. i would be ever so grateful, thanks in advance. have a great day.
Bah, this is getting really really boring. If Liz was an intelligent hater it would at least be entertaining to read. But her stupid “I am laughing at you,” “I am parking my a*ss here because I can” is really dragging the thread down. I think I’ll go watch football instead.
Congrats to Jolie for being nominated for Best Actress Drama at the Satellite Awards!!!!!!! But why did they nominate Benjamin Button in Best Original Screenplay, when it was ADAPTED from the BOOK.

Hello to all JP fans :-)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWVmgiAzJEM
oh my goodness!!!, it sounds like someone is jealous of brad and his fans, they need to know that brad deserves to have intelligent fans, he is a talented good looking nice all around guy, he has done so much for human man kind, most of his movies are great, if you don’t like him, no biggie, go to a thread where they have someone you like, but i doubt there is anyone who comes close to all that brad is, on the screen and off, but good luck finding them.
Congrats to Angelina but what in the heck is this award? I’ve never heard of it.
Beyoncé Knowles for best supporting actress? Please this has to be a joke.
