OlderAngelina Jolie Covers Germany’s Comopolitan
Angelina Jolie takes the January 2009 cover of Germany’s Comopolitan. Interview highlights as follows:
On finding time for her family, acting career and commitment as a UN ambassador: “Well, I do take my time outs. And most of all I do receive support from Brad [Pitt]. We are a good team. That is important to me and gives me strength… I cannot sit quietly while others die of hunger and children. My commitment for the United Nations I do not want to abandon. The play has no greater priority. In February, I still turn a movie, then I suppose one years off.”
On surviving each day without a nervous breakdown: “I’m very disciplined. I have a balanced diet and among other things I do Pilates. If I’m fit I feel more comfortable and I do have a lot more energy.”
On playing the role of a mother in Changeling, whose son disappears without a trace: “Just the idea of such a possibility made me go completely crazy. Initially, I wanted to cancel it. But the strength and self abandonment of this woman made be accept the role.”

Just saw TCCOBB and LOVED it.
Cried quite a few times.
Brad was definitely subtle but I think he did a terrific job. Same with Cate and especially Taraji.
The scene with Shiloh was tooooooo quick (the one where Cate Blanchett is looking at Brad & Shi sitting on the grass from a window.
Please go out and watch the movie.
All showings were sold out at our theatre.
Merry Christmas Just Jared. To all the Filipino fans: Maligayang Pasko At Manigong Bagong Taon !!!
Patnubayan ng Dios ang pamilyang Jolie-Pitt.

I loved the part when CR asked brad does he want his kids on the set and brad said it was the law and CR said the brad and angie law and brad said yeah, it was the family law,very cute.He went on to say the family will never seperate, they will never be apart,thats why him and angie arrange their movies so one of them will always be with the children,great CR interview.He was so emotional talking about how the only thing that can hurt him if something happens to the kids,very moving.
alexanderina, Thank you but the same thing happens with this link. I click, it says buffering, and then nothing. Thanks for trying to help me.
Oh d*mn. I probably won’t be able to see the movie until Sunday or Monday even if then. It is snowing. That fine little snow. It has melted some what, but it is still snowing. Cars are stuck everywhere. So unless we have a big melt down I will not see it this week. Peace
I can’t wait to see TCCOBB. Merry Christmas everyone!.
If anyone can get a link that works for CR can you tape it? Something is wrong as it isn’t playing.
Completely off topic. NEW YORK — A family friend says Eartha Kitt, a sultry singer, dancer and actress who rose from South Carolina cotton fields to become an international symbol of elegance and sensuality, has died. She was 81.
Andrew Freedman says Kitt died Thursday of colon cancer and was recently treated at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in New York.
Kitt, a self-proclaimed “sex kitten” famous for her catlike purr, was one of America’s most versatile performers, winning two Emmys and getting a third nomination. She also was nominated for two Tony Awards and a Grammy. Peace
I just watched TCCOBB. It is so beautiful and so touching, I cried many times. It is the best movie of this year. Brad is excellent. He deserves at least a nomination of Oscar. I watched 11:35 am show, it was almost full. Cate is awesome as well.
hello kitty,
`
…` i didn’t do any but open my ;santa-day presents - play with my` toys… and beat-ōff to the yule log on channel 11 [cw11]. =]
`
lmbaoooo
`
…` i’ll go see benjamin bomb this weekend sometime.
SRO at the 1130 first screening of TCCOB and this I didn’t expect ,some have to reschedule , more women than men, more middleaged peeps but a number of college type kids. MY eyes were red leaving the theater with people already in line for the next screening.
In my own opinion, TCCOBB is why I enjoy going to the movies, truly a masterpiece, poignant and beautiful. I will see it again and again.
Merry Christmas everyone!
I’ll probably take the kids to see Bedtime Stories today and will see BB w/ my hubby on the weekend!

I’m not sure if this has been posted - but I loved this part:
“It’s a tragedy in the sense that any love involves loss, and that’s the risk you take,” Pitt responds. “And the greater the love, the greater the loss. I certainly feel that now with the woman I’m with, and the children that I have. But whatever the course may be, this time together is extraordinary.”
“I had a whole other life and I got to experience a lot. And I probably got away with more than I should,” he says. “And it kind of ran its course, you know, it kind of hit a dead end.” Fatherhood, he notes, is “the direction I always thought I would go in. But not until, with Angie and it felt like a natural evolution, a natural direction.”
I’m looking forward to CCOBB this weekend, I love epic movies. Thank you for all the personal reviews from those of you who’ve already seen it, I’ll make sure to bring tissues.
Thanks for the latimes article,its the same theme,he didn’t want to start a family until he met angie.
Time is of the essence in more ways than one. The production takes its time, and uses it wisely, in tracking Benjamin’s development from an ugly incubus through a teenage codger to a middle-aged 26-year-old who’s certainly spry but still too old for Ms. Blanchett’s Daisy. She is Ben’s contemporary, a friend from their New Orleans childhood who’s become an impossibly ravishing ballet dancer. Not until he grows 15 years younger and she grows 15 years older, however, are they right for each other physically as well as spiritually. “My God,” Daisy says at one point in their mid-40s, “look at you — you’re perfect.” It’s a charming laugh line, since he has finally emerged as a fully recognizable Brad Pitt. And what a remarkable presence the actor is, not just during that golden era but before and after, when he has only his voice and eyes with which to fashion Ben’s character while the wonders of digital technology and age-confounding makeup provide his body and face.
It’s a great performance by any measure, but let me count some of the other ways that Mr. Fincher’s film is remarkable. Ms. Blanchett’s performance, to be sure; she’s breathtaking in a long red dress, dancing in a fog-shrouded gazebo; otherwise she’s simply dazzling, and deeply affecting. A supporting cast that includes Tilda Swinton, Taraji P. Henson, Jason Flemyng and Jared Harris. Alexandre Desplat’s score, as exquisite and evocative as the Scott Joplin concert waltz woven through it. Claudio Miranda’s sumptuous cinematography, Donald Graham Burt’s art direction and production design, and Jacqueline West’s costumes. “Benjamin Button” is all of a visionary piece, and it’s a soul-filling vision.

As everyone but a handful of Himalayan monks doubtless knows, the woman who sleeps by Pitt’s side these days is Angelina Jolie, with whom he shares parenting duties for six children (three of their own, three adopted). During an interview of an hour’s duration, Pitt refers repeatedly to his satisfying home life and the way it has refashioned his priorities.
“I had a whole other life and I got to experience a lot. And I probably got away with more than I should,” he says. “And it kind of ran its course, you know, it kind of hit a dead end.” Fatherhood, he notes, is “the direction I always thought I would go in. But not until, with Angie and it felt like a natural evolution, a natural direction.”
Colleagues and friends who’ve witnessed it confirm Pitt’s gradual metamorphosis. Even though he has known the actor for 15 years and directed him in two previous movies, the gruesome crime-thriller “Se7en” and the darkly satirical “Fight Club,” Fincher says he was unprepared “for the degree to which he [Pitt] has become comfortable with who he is,” both on set and off.
“I think a lot of it has to do with his family,” Fincher says. “It’s like he wants to cut to the chase and go at the thing, and get it and work it and play with it and then be done with it and live to act another day.”
Pitt agrees that, as he has matured professionally, “I don’t have to grope as much for the character.”
“I can get there quicker, so it’s not as much trial and error,” he says. “Also, as I get older, more experiences, I’m more fine-tuned in what I’m after, what I think speaks in the piece. And lastly I want to hurry and get home to my kids.”
Dare i say brad called angie his great love in the Latimes article.
Charlie Rose, Button and alexanderina, I just finished watching the interview. After all of the trying I tried ond final time and it worked. Don’t know what was wrong the other times, but it finally worked. It is a really good interview. Thank you three. Peace
^^^ he’s really opening up about Angie and his kids. Love love love it!
LATIMES @ 12/25/2008 at 6:58 pm
I dare say, U are correct. He also said Life with the HAG was a dead end. He didn’t want to start a family with her.
You’re right QQQQ,he did say it ran its course and it was on to the next stage of his life,good pickup.
QQQQ, and LA Times that was a good interview. Brad really seems to be in a good place. If you have’t seen the CR interview it is good also.
Who know how to find the box office number for today? Peace
BAR and CCOBB are named two of Oregon Best Films of 2008

(in alphabetical order; reviews by Stan Hall, Shawn Levy, Marc Mohan and Mike Russell)
Burn After Reading After the Oscar-winning success of the grimmer-than-grim “No Country for Old Men,” the Coen brothers return to their skewed comedic roots with this screwball take on spy films highlighted by Brad Pitt’s turn as an exuberantly dim Washington, D.C. fitness instructor. (MM)
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button A strange and lovely adaptation of an F. Scott Fitzgerald story in which Brad Pitt imparts warmth and dry humor as a man aging in reverse. Director David Fincher holds back the dazzle and hits the brain and heart. (SL)
