103 opinions for Any Jesse James reactions?

  Well my opinion isn’t as much about the, moreso what lead to the box office demise. I saw it, it was very long, and Affleck was quite riveting in his character. However, I just think that Brad and Angelina milked it way too much for this movie. Sometimes less is more. All along trying to prove the solidarity of their family. We gotit, we get it, we know it, and enough is enough.

  The pictures were way too much. Unless Brad gets back to promoting his movies and not his decision to be with Angelina, his days in hollywood is numbered. If he is to have a chance with the Benjamin movie, stay out of the spotlight, stop Angelina from giving these interviews that has absolutely nothing to do with anything, except self promotion. I was very disappointed in the two of them during this promotion. They need to cut it out. Promote the movie and the movie alone, because they were more interesting when we had to guess. he is ruining his career.

  wowwwwwwww , everybody is talking about the greatest performance of his career and is doing really good for a limited release.
  Also they are talking a lot for Angelina AMH performance oscar nod , it´s been release in Europe and the critics loved it .
  They are in the spotlight because they can´t help it , he´s the number one target for the media and together boommm .
  And both are really clear about one thing , family is first .

  winnie the pooh, did you go and watch the movie or not? it seems that you did not watch the movie… you already made up your own bias opinion against this couple without even watching the movie which is the topic of this thread…

  angie ruin his career?? please….with angie, he became more famous and it’s not always about the box office….it’s about how long he will be in the limelight…he’s not young anymore to compete with other young actors but still can command the respect of the people in the industry….can you name someone the same age as brad whose popularity eclipse his…not only in the us but international??? nada….so rest your silly bias against this couple…

  Haven’t seen the film. but seen long clips. Seems slow and melancholy reminded me of “River runs through it” But Brad seemed so good (really eye catching in western clothing). I think AJ is not only good for him as a partner but inspired him to try and be a better actor. He is growing into a mature, character actor.

• jjoy

  ^^ ITA….he’s not after the role of the leading man anymore…he’s 44 years old…he knows it and accept it….so he choose movie roles that will showcase his maturing talent not his beautiful mug/presence on the screen…

  Brad is famous, much more so now because of Angie. He is famous, not popular, A Mighty Heart Flopped, sorry, but that is the truth. I think she has changed and has indeed found her purpose in life with all the adoptions and bringing attention to the Third World countries. Brad has found his purpose by being a father and he truely thinks she is a great prize. They seem happy and I think they will remain so.

  This is to address what ‘Winnie’ said… I have watched them both promoting the AMH and AJJBCRF… example is the one with Diane Sawyer; he didn’t just start talking about his family, she asked him questions about them.

  He can’t be rude and say I won’t answer such questions, look at what happened with the memo during AMH where AJ was slandered by Fox TV because her lawyer wanted it to be about the movie and not their life as a family. Its unfortunate that you ‘winnie’ feels this way but they both have had wonderful careers and will continue to do so whether you like it not… if you have anyone to blame about them talking about their families, then tell the media to stop enquiring about it and make it more about the movies they’re promoting.

  Thanks!

  Wow Winnie, how you managed to be first on this thread & started bashing Ange & Brad, is unbelievable. First of all, Ange supports Brad, you will see more of her while Brad is promoting his own movie & vice versa, so stop your idiotic comments that she is exploiting Brad’s career. PLEASE. You know they are so in demand & people will always be in awe wherever they go & whatever they do. They are the most popular couple right now in HW, if you don’t see that, you are blind. The Assassination of Jesse James has not been in my City yet but once it gets released here you bet my husband & I will be there to watch & support Brad & Ange. I’m glad that Brad is doing some challenging roles lately that’s maturity & that goes with Ange, their movies lately have been well selected & with high caliber performances. I would say, Brad & Ange are famous & popular, I may added that they are well respected actors & loved by millions of fans.

  Am in Europe so haven’t seen it yet. Can’t wait to hear from Irma or Karen both of whom I think are in Los Angeles, where the film would be opening.

  It doesn’t surprise me that LORI would agree with the ravings of someone who hasn’t seen the film and yet has cast something that is on LIMITED release as a failure!

  You and your ‘friends’ really need to get over it already, Lori!

• Samantha
  Sep 23, 2007 at 3:43 pm

  These types of movies are ones I normally LOVE, however, I doubt that I will be able to “buy” Brad in this role. I have seen the trailer and all I kept thinking about was him and his real life relationship w/Angelina. They are WAY overexposed.

• irma
  Sep 23, 2007 at 3:48 pm

  BlessBrangelina, I’m from Florida & it’s not showing here yet in my City, I will be patiently waiting for the release next month, for sure, I will be there in theater with my husband. I will let you know how the movie will fare with other Brad’s movie, so far, I heard good write ups about the movie. I started collecting Brangelina movies, of course my favorite one is Mr. & Mrs. Smith where they met & fall in love. I hope, they make another movie together, that will be a big bonus for all the fans.

• Kearnie
  Sep 23, 2007 at 3:48 pm

  To Winnie…

  In case you have been living under a rock….these two(Pitt and Jolie) are already semi-retired.

  Jolie is already hard at work on her humanitarian work. Was in DC this weekend to touch up with Condi and Colin…is sitting on the panel with other CEOs, VP, CFO at the upcoming Clinton Initiative.

  Both Brad and Angelina are doing speeches on their work with kids as part of the Jolie-Pitt Foundation…

  If I were Brad…I would say hurry up retirement so that I can spend time discussing things that matter with the people that matter - CEO, VP and CFO.

  Also, the promotion of this movie was really low key.

  No premiere in LA but a short one on NYC.
  and 2 film festivals.

  I have watched M&Ms about 10 times. Winnie sounds like she should be at another site. If she is a Brad fan than she should be happy for him. Angie is his great love and an amazing mother to his children. His words not mine. They are both doing great humanitarian work.

  Winnie, we were asked about the opinions of the movie and you sadly you did not talk about how great it was or how bad it was. Yes it is long, we were told that before.

  I have not seen the movie so was hoping for honest reviews. So were you spending all those long hours thinking “what did they do to promote this movie”.

  I hope not then you wasted you money whether you enjoyed the movie or not.

• kit
  Sep 23, 2007 at 5:50 pm

  Ok Winnie, am guessing you are not a fan, because if you were then you wouldnt be make these comments about our two favorite people on the planet. The majority of the reporters are there to ask questions about brad, angie and the kids, and then the movie, the reporters can’t help it, brad and angie are A-list stars who got together and fell in love, and people like me, love a good love story and its even better when you’re a big fan of these two, like I am. Interviewers and reporters want to know about the family and he is happy to let them know that they are fine and happy, what the hell do you expect them to do and say? If they said “no coment” then you and the other haters will have something else to complain about, its really sad and getting on my last nerve that whatever these two do, it will always be wrong. And by the way Winnie the site is call “pittwatch” it for brad and angie fans, if you are not a fan, then you shouldn’t be here to comment on them. This is a really nice site, lets keep it that way. I too live in Florida and ‘jesse james’ its not in any movie houses around here, but when it gets here I will be the first in line, I simply can’t wait to see this movie. I have only read good reviews so far and I will let you guys now how good it is:)

  Sep 23, 2007 at 5:55 pm

  Samantha that may be a fair point that you are filled with thoughts about what the tabloids are saying but isn’t that the problem, people focus so much on the tabloids that the tabloids continue to make money about any celebrity by printing untrue stories. Remember “Britney will lose her kids tomorrow”. The judge was smarter than that and realised that both parents need work. Lets be smart too. Because Angelina and Brad said nothing for a year the desire to know grew and grew and despite the fact that people predict their demise daily, weekly, monthly and yearly they seem to be stay together and that amazes people so it is us, or rather you who look at an actor and not the story and focus on the crap printed.

  Watched the movie on Friday at the Calgary Film Festival. Totally loved Brad’s and Casey’s performances, the colours, the lights, the way the story is told, the prairies, the trees, the bits of humour despite the tragedy…
  It is not a western, it is not the kind of movie for everybody. Maybe that’s why I read some strange reviews on the net.
  2 days later, my mind is still there.

• a fan
  Sep 23, 2007 at 7:05 pm

  To the first poster - you are on a Brad Pitt fan site and are the first to respond. Both Angiie and Brad are very talented actors. Both choose roles not for the commercial success, so that is why they seldom appear in blockbusters. Yet they did command the public’s attention. The tabliod pic and stories are not the result of PR efforts. The media is out to make a buck off this couple. They fascinate people - and all they do is just try to live their lives. This movie is not showing in my city - but Brad can hold an audience attention - so I know the movie will do well. But with Brad parting ways with Warner Bros. - I don’t know if the movie will be in wider release. If they were smart they would schedule it for a wider release.

• lori
  Sep 23, 2007 at 7:07 pm

  blessbrangelina, where exactly did I say that I thought Jesse James would be a flop? I myself am going to go see it for I heard Brad does an excellent job in it! Don’t try to put words in my mouth, I can speak for myself just fine, thank you!

  I said A Mighty Heart flopped and it did, I saw the box office returns and didn’t make them up! I was hoping it would do better for I thought it was a story that needed to be told, not just worshipping Angelina Jolie!

  Sep 23, 2007 at 7:15 pm

  Hi winnie, its not your fault we have a lot of judgemental people like you, its not about Angie its about Brads movie, If your boyfriend says lets go to my premier would you say no, I DONT THINK SO, I think if you have your favorite celeb you are to support them no matter, If Angie doesnt go with him people start saying they are fighting and if she goes with him we always find something to say, I think we should just enjoy theremovies, we cant be pleased, I cant wait to go and watch the movie, I am not going to listen to negative reviews about this movie I will be my on judge of the movie

  Hi Sherry, I submitted my review of the movie early this morning 9/23/2007 and I have yet to see it on your site. Did something happen to it?

  I also wanted to make a correction, I saw the movie with my daughter on Saturday, 9/22/2007 not 9/23/2007. I hope to see my review show up soon.

  Thank you,

• Neela
  Sep 23, 2007 at 10:05 pm

  oh, winnie. where to start . . .
  you are talking about the brad pitt who has about a few films lined up. the same man receiving praises for his work on jesse james. the same man who owns a production company that’s been churning out some highly respectable films (can we say “the departed”?). the same man with a handful of humanitarian projects. you mean, this man’s career is about to wane because he is with a woman he loves and because he loves his kids??? hmmm, for someone whose career looks bleak, he sure is getting a lot of attention. oh look, even from you. and you may not like angelina, but you’re showering her with your time and attention as well. tsk. tsk. coz really, what exactly would you call your presence here??

  you know, watch his interview on gma, and you will notice it was diane who asked him and angie about their personal life. also, clearly, to him, fatherhood and family outweighs his career.

  and even if (and that’s a big dubious IF) brad’s career dissipates, what does it matter? he’ll have his family, his angelina, and his wealth.

  plus, winnie and samantha, even if brad and angie do not do promotions for their work, they are still sought after. they are hounded by the paps and by the general public. they don’t even ask for the attention. sheesh. it is the media and we, the curious (fans and haters alike), that overexpose them. look at you, guys, you are checking out their fan site.

  and in defense of lori, i think she hasn’t really made any bad comments towards angie or brad on this post. if anything, she mentioned that she thinks they will remain happy. she’s commending their new found sense of purpose and fulfillment.
  i know there’s been a bit of a conflict with her, but i think she’s trying to be more harmonious with us. :)

• lana
  Sep 23, 2007 at 10:14 pm

  Sherry, I will just resubmit my review. If the other one shows as well….so be it. :)

  My daughter, a scriptwriter for movies, and I saw this movie on Saturday at the ArcLight Hollywood Theatre in Los Angeles on Saturday 9/22/2007.

  The theatre was packed.

  The movie was riveting and intense.

  I was completely immersed in the story, the period and the personalities. I guess that is why the movie did not impress me as being overly long.

  I expressed a desire to see it again when it is released nationwide and my daughter said she did not think she could see it again because while watching it she felt as though she was sitting on a keg of dynamite that was ready to go off at any given moment. I realized then, that her comment reflected my feelings exactly. I think we held our collective breaths until the move finished. It was that intense.

  Even Jesse James himself expressed, in the movie, the feelings that I felt as I watched him when he said, “there is no peace when Jesse James is around.” He spoke the truth, because his presence always brought with it an extremely uncomfortable, agitated, feeling of fear and foreboding.

  We left the theatre stunned, as well did many other people we observed.

  Surprisingly, there were some applause when the movie concluded. Usually in Hollywood there are no applause for any movies. I think that is a testament to how good this picture truly is.

  I personally think Brad Pitt genuinely earned the Best Actor Award in Venice, earlier. His performance is penetrating. He is Jesse James. There was no trace of the actor “Brad Pitt” while he was on the screen.

  Casey Afflect is outstanding. But without Jesse, he would not have the ‘impact’ his performance carries.

  I would highly recommend this movie to anyone who would like to see a poetically delivered historic tale of a bigger than life outlaw.

  Whether it is all true or not, it is……can I say “entertaning?” I am not one to enjoy violent films, but the violence in this is not gratuitous but a necessary part of the entire package.

  The musical score was so appropriate and deepl moving.

  I think both Brad and Angie should be nominated for Oscars this year. She for A Mighty Heart and he for The Assasination of Jesse James, etc.

  That is my unbiased opinion.

• Neela
  Sep 23, 2007 at 10:16 pm

  also, winnie, brad’s not a one-dimensional person. he’s not just an actor. the guy has so many roles, and again, fatherhood i think is the best role or “career” (if you can even call it that) he has ever had.

• quiet no more
  Sep 23, 2007 at 10:17 pm

  hello all!

  I haven’t had theplleasure of seeing the film as it is not playing in my city…

  But my sister who lives in Los Angeles has seen themovie. I will go ahead and say my sister is not a big fan of Brad or Angie. But she called me immediately after seeing the film and told me it was an amazing film. she is a film major so she tends to be a harder critic because she has some background on how films are made and what they should be doing…

  Anyhow she told me that the movie was beautifully shot and that the director was an amazing cinematographer. She also said Casey Affleck was mesmerizing. And finally she said that Brad gave a sensational performance one of his best and when asked to fill out a survey about the film she made the comment that Brad’s was the best in the movie.

  I can’t wait to see it! she told me to see it as soon as I can. So that was her review! hope its helpful! I know it was for me

• loved AOJJ
  Sep 23, 2007 at 10:42 pm

  Saw AOJJ yesterday. Loved loved it. Thought about it after I left the theatre. The film is visually beautiful. Brad is Jesse James, a riveting performance, his soul is seen in his eyes. Casey is great, you grow to dislike him intensely. Sam Rockwell is also great. Found myself humming the music today. Please go see it if you can, you will enjoy it. It is long but no one left before it was over. You just want somehow for Jesse as violent as he is to live.

  I don’t understand the first poster. Brad is in the movie not Angelina. She is suporting him as all partners do. Brad said she helped with the editing of AOJJ and she did a good job. The movie is great. I may go see it again.

• truthbesaid
  Sep 23, 2007 at 11:49 pm

  I have not seen the movie since it hasn’t arrived on our side of the pond yet but am definately will be going to see it.

  By the way winnie the poo’poo, you were asked to comment about the movie not about the promotion of it. Anyways, Brad and Angie would never talked about their private lives if the inteviewer/reporter did not asked. As matter of fact I’m betting they would prefer not talking about their family so much but we are all so facinated by their family and out of respect and because they care about their fans , they answered and opened up some.

• Lucy
  Sep 23, 2007 at 11:53 pm

  Thank you Sherry for asking our opinion about Brad’s movie. I did not see it yet since I live 50 miles from the theater where it was being shown in Los Angeles and my weekend was hectic and spent it with my husband and my son. But the minute it comes in Orange County, I will surely take my husband to see it. I guess, some people are keeping the fairy tale of Brad with Jennifer Aniston and will comment on anything against Angie to try to keep it alive. Well, folks, Brad is “just not into her” anymore. He said however, that they are friends and nobody can erase that. He fell out of love in 2004 from JA and fell in love with Angie in the same year. I guess love is powerful enough that he chased Angie all over the globe. He followed her to England (her residence) and then to Africa. And everybody knows that it was Brad who chased a reluctant Angie. Now everybody is blaming Angie for falling in love in return. Trashing her is useless, because it could have been another woman since Brad’s perspective during his marriage was no longer working for the two of them. They could have adopted a child if JA cannot get pregnant. But two people need to agree to make it work. If these two people are not in the same tune, then they can make the decision to part. So, enough of the blame on Angie. She supports Brad 100% and gets the blame and being called names. Brad’s career and his films are much better now than “The Mexican,” or “Spy Game.” AMH can still pick up cash when it goes on DVD. I think saying something is a flop is more personal to others who are haters of Brad and Angie. Don’t forget, JA’s movies: “Derailed, Friends with money, Rumor has it, shown almost in one year were all flops too. So don’t blame Angie for everything just because Brad fell deeply in love with her and vice versa. They talk about their family life because we want to share their happiness with them and the reporters really asked them. Dianne S. was more interested in his personal life than the movie. Leave Angie and this site alone.

  i think it’s going to be quite some time before i see the movie here in the philippines. from what i’ve read from the critics though, a number of them weren’t impressed, but there were a few that were. that being said, i’ve never really paid attention to what critics say because the whole whether-or-not-you-like-a-movie deal is very subjective. i’ve been a brad pitt fan for a long time now, and i can honestly say that i think some of his movies have been boring (e.g. meet joe black), but boring or not, i still go to see his movies precisely because i’m a fan and i want to support him. that being said, i can’t wait to see this movie, bad or not.

  I saw AMH and I thought it was a great movie. I do not agree that it is a “flop”. I predict that AMH will do very well in Europe. The US is not the only market. Once it is up for an Oscar people will go out to see it. As for the JJ movie I will have to wait for some of your reviews before I go see it. I do not like westerns and I have never had much of an interest in JJ.

After 10 years, he won best actor at Venice. I think his life has seemed to take a turn for the better since he hooked up with Angelina.. but hey, that’s my opinion!

  I want to add something. I am sure AMH will make a profit after the international release but let’s assume that yes AMH was a flop movie so what? Angelina and Brad have some flop movies like any other famous actors and actress. But they are still in the industry and it seems that roles have still been offered to them. What is the problem? Unfourtunately, people and media have twisted everything about them to create news. Also, both Brad&Angie don’t want to act so much in the future if you look at their interviews, you can see it. Another important things is that, they didn’t talk about so much their personal lives if you look at their interviews, they only answer two or there questions but media only interesting this part and continusly has given that quotas like as a new one. I am sure if toblaid will stop their stupid their Brangelina stories, they will never talk. I am sure they are sick of do you want any other children or why aren’t you married questions.

  Anyway, the purpose of both AMH and AJJ isn’t making a so much profit. Both movies mostly took so positive reviews. I am glad both of them. I don’t like Western movies but I will watch AJJ in theaters for Brad. Everyone should not like Brad or Angelina but if you don’t like them why you wasted your time for them? And how people critisized movies without seeing?

  Sep 24, 2007 at 8:36 am

  I am reading all your comments about a mighty heart and I think that you misunderstood the concept of this film. I am from Spain so I didn’t have the chance to watch the film until 2 weeks ago and I must say that it is a great film. Very sad and dramatic, but fantastic nevertheless. And I don’t think that it flopped, because nobody intended to do a commercial movie in the first place. Michael winterbottom is a cult director praised by the critics here in Europe but he is not a commercial director. He makes low budget films and Brad knew it when he contacted him so I don’t think that the box results disappointed him. This is an oscar movie. Angelina will probably receive some nominations (golden globes, oscars…) and Brad’s production company will obtain recognition and he may even be nominated himself as a producer.
  finally I think that everyone must admit that since meeting angelina, Brad has started to make serious films, and even here in Europe critics that used to consider him a hollywood product, start to see him as an actor. Babel, the assasination…., a mighty heart, god grew tired of us… these are the kind of films that give an actor recognition and allow him to work with directors like the coen brothers, (george clooney knows this himself)…… He has enough money, maybe now he just wants to start being considered as a good actor.

  First time to post (always lurking here: But I just want to share my own take on the TAOJJ movie (which I posted yesterday at Just Jared blog)….

  Finally got home from a late dinner….So to continue my precis of the movie TAOJJ….

  Now, about the TAOJJ movie - as a whole. the movie was beautifully done. Each character (small or big) was very memorable, even Sam Sheppard’s character whose scenes was miniscule. The panoramic shots were stunning - similar style from chineses epic movies like Hero or House of Flying Daggers ((by Yimou Zhang - a chinese director). Every scenes were very poignant and unpredictable because it reflects the personality of Jesse James himself - precarious and erratic. It was a pure aesthetic experience for me to watch this movie, that I didn’t even notice the running time. I was just totally mesmerized from the stunning visual presentation and the story telling style.

  As for the actors:
  Brad Pitt’s acting was very poetic - you can almost feel and hear what goes through the mind of Jesse James through his eyes, even without saying a word. The characater Jesse James is quite fascinating that I can literally write a hundred page analysis of his psyche. Severe symptoms of acute depression was so palpable in Jesse James character which Brad gave tremendous justice portraying it - totally sublime !!!….

  Casey Affleck - brilliant acting. Again, his acting was so profound, that you can feel the fear and the anxiety he goes through in the character (you can almost touch the ambivalence of emotions that he portrayed).

  Sam Rockwell - another great actor that I admire so greatly. His character in the movie was so heartbreaking - Another brilliant acting….

  The rest of the casts were all very good which contributed to the whole success of this movie…..
  The rest is for everyone to really see the movie when they do a wide opening after next week - it is certainly a must…..

  I think that Brad is becoming a better actor as time goes on, I thought he did an excellent job in Babel, my husband loved it. However, Angie is the Star in this family, the family revolves around her. Has AMH been nominated for any awards as of yet? It didn’t do well at the box office in the US, perhaps it may do better overseas and I hope it does. I do think Brad should be given credit for his acting abilities for his own talent, not hers, I say this for I have read more than once he has been doing better roles since meeting her, he is not Mr. Tomb Raider, and I enjoyed those films myself too.

  I do have a problem with whomever doesn’t praise them constantly, not bashing but not praising either, being called “haters”. Why do they have to be Haters just because they aren’t idolizing this couple? I don’t understand that. And I also don’t understand why Jennifer’s name has to be brought into it, she is in the past and people should move on.

  Lori,

  My response was written when only your one sentence response was visible. Your sentence ’suggested’ that his popularity was waining due to his fame, and this led me to believe that you were supporting Winnie.

  If however if this was not your intention and I see now with your other post visible that maybe –this time– you were not putting them down, then I apologise.

  ** thanks to everyone for their reviews. Can’t wait.

  =Truthbesaid=; are you from UK? I believe it’s going to be shown at the LFF in October ?19th. Hopefully general release will follow soon after that.

  dianad1968,

  Everyone knows the movie is long. Since last year they reported on it’s length. She doesn’t say much beyond that, which convinces me that she has not seen the movie.

  Those who have seen it had other aspects of the movie to talk about other than the length.

  After 3 years she really needs to get over it already! Would she rather they had stayed together and made each other miserable.

  What part of “nothing in common by the end” does she not understand???

• lori
  Sep 24, 2007 at 1:29 pm

• lori
  Sep 24, 2007 at 1:35 pm

  Blessbrangelina, thank you for your fair comments. I am not a big fan of Angelina at all but I admire her talent and have always thought she was the Star in this family, however, since Jesse, Brad can hold his own with her any time with the acting and that should be clear to everyone!

• Winnie
  Sep 24, 2007 at 2:15 pm

  jjoy, with all due respect, I am not saying that Angelina single handedly is ruining his career, Pitt is helping. Can you deny that their popularity continue to decline. You say that they are in the spotlight because they have to be, and that is not true. When Brad do not want to be found Brad is not found. Now, they were in DC, I live in DC, and there was not big hooplah that they were here. So, excuse me if you feel I am being biased, because truth be told, there are not many people that are talking about them lately, and it is because of their over exposure. Did Brad really need to take Z to the park for the photo op, no. He has never ever done that before, so it does appear a little suspect when he do it right about time for a movie. So, I am sorry if what I express bothers you, but there was a time that they were on top of the world, and for two A-list celebrities to get such a small amount of money in the box-office, is significant in hollywood. They can get all the great reviews possible what helps celebrities in hollywood, is the Benjamins, nothing more and nothing less. Peace

• loved AOJJ
  Sep 24, 2007 at 2:59 pm

  Winnie, I don’t understand your comments. We were asked for our opinion of AOJJ. I gave mine as I loved the film. You are angry that a father takes his 2 year old to a park? What kind of person are you? Are you maybe upset because Zee is Ethiopian? Brad has taken his three oldest kids to parks in NYC but you did not mention anyone but Zee. You say two actors popularity is declining when all worldwide polls say they are at the top of the popularity heap, that Brad is a gold mine for studios because he is so popular all over the world? Brad is getting movie offers left and right. He has movies lined up for years. Angelina is working in a Clint Eastwood movie next, only the best work in an Eastwood movie. AMH and AOJJ are not going to be big blockbuster movies, AMH just opened overseas last week in a few countries and will be opening in other countries through the end of the year, it’s premature to say it is a flop. AOJJ just opened in a few theatres last Friday. Brad has said how much they do not want to be talked about all the time, especially by tabloids, they want some peace in their lives. The only conclusion I make is that you are personally biased against them and why you are that way only you know. They are active with their Jolie-Pitt Foundation, working in NOLA, meeting people at the UN, and both are presenting at the Clinton Initiative this coming Wednesday. Brad and Angelina are living loving lives with their family and both appear very happy. That’s more than you seem to be.

• lori
  Sep 24, 2007 at 3:24 pm

  I personally think that the idea of Brad taking Z to the Park in NY for publicity is plain stupid! I have always thought she was his favorite child and I still do, however, I think he enjoys playing with her and he took her to a park like any other normal father would.

• xmargarinx
  Sep 24, 2007 at 3:33 pm

  Lastly, I want to say I am a Brad fan rather than Angelina. Also, I sometimes critisize them but judging people according to their box-office results is so much. I just can’t stand this. Also, I am not living in US but when I look at the forums I can see the differences. I agree with you MERCEDES, in Europe people look at their works differently now. I remember when MAMS opened I read many negative comments about them in my country because the articles said that they are very talented actors and they should do better movies than MAMS but unfourtunately in US everyting depends on box office. It is sad but true.

• dianad1968
  Sep 24, 2007 at 4:13 pm

  so winnie let me see if i understand you clearly. brad should not take his kids out, to please you and other small-minded people. i wonder if he was still married to jen, and had kids if you would have the same reaction? i could smell you people a mile away. his popularity is so much on the wane that when he went to the offices of the washington post, no one was able to do any work while he was there. brad and angie are so unpopular that they almost caused a near riot in cannes and in toronto. the movies that they have made are not geared towards big BO, and you and your ilk know this, but the hatred you all have for this family is so irrational that it is making you delusional. well you better get use to seeing bard and his family, because they are not going to disappear to please you, and your accolytes. and you know what, they will continue to prosper. you people annoy me to no end.

• dianad1968
  Sep 24, 2007 at 4:29 pm

  lori no one is implying that they have to be praised constantly, but when the criticisms are are biased, you better believe you will be called on it. again, as i mentioned above, no one expected mucho BO for AMH, they hoped but they were realistic. the movie had a limited release, and had not opened world-wide, and yet after the first weekend, the media started the drum roll that the movie had bombed. no other actors get this kind of treatment, only brad and angie. you said you are not a fan of angie, which is your right, but please do not tell me you were being unbiased. both angie and brad are damn good actors, and if the US audience is going to punish them for whatever sins they have been perceived to have committed, all i can say is thank god people worldwide have more appreciation for quality films, and have as much clout profit wise as does the US, probaly even more.

• lori
  Sep 24, 2007 at 4:54 pm

  I totally agree that in the US everything depends on box office dividends, a crappy movie, a crappy actor can be so popular if the money is right! I would like to see Brad get some deserved recognition. Angie, she is a celebrity and a Star, don’t care for her personally but she is the total package, unlike the no talented people like Jessica Simpson and Paris Hilton.

  Sep 24, 2007 at 5:15 pm

  there is a blog, laineygossip, that I think that is the best when it comes to providing people with information about brad and angelina, and that would end the feud that some people in this blog are having with winnie. Lainey has very accurate information and she is very impartial. She praises them, but she also shows her readers examples of brad’s media manipulation.Because as much as we may like the jolie-pitts, they are hollywood actors!!!
  and hollywood is all about the money. It is true, that angelina has tried to use her fame to draw attention to the refugees’ tragedy( someone say it is PR: at least this PR involves donating money, approaching the UN to the public and improving other people lifes), but in the end she is a hollywood actress and makes hollywood films(see the tomb raider franchise), and she has to SELL the movies. That’s why both brad and angie give way too personal interviews and provide magazines with photos of their children. And even if they donate the money to charity, they are exposing their children to the public eye.
  and for me, being used to European cinema and actors, where the most important thing is the quality of the film, it is overexposing. In my country, Spain, we never get to see children’s faces in magazines: it is illegal as their privacy must be respected!!!!! We don’t know how our favorite actors’ children look like. we don’t know so many details of they lives, because actors don’t talk about that. Their lives are private.

• Neela
  Sep 24, 2007 at 6:00 pm

  Oh, Winnie, why do you bother with a fan site then? If you don’t approve of Brad and Angie, move on. Just come back when their popularity has actually disappeared—you know, when they’ve stopped making films and have stopped being stalked by paps—also, when people have stopped talking about them. Till then, quit with the assumptions.

  And as another poster pointed out, Brad, the serious actor, caused quite a commotion at the offices of the Washington Post. Yep, that popularity sure is going downhill. Sheesh.

• Neela
  Sep 24, 2007 at 6:14 pm

  Winnie, I have to agree with another poster that you are rather small-minded. I don’t want to be mean, but your statement is overwhelmingly ignorant. If you think money is all that matters in Hollywood, then, you have much more to learn. For the superficial dolts the likes of Tara Reid, Dina Lohan, and porn stars, it is the money and the fame. For the serious ones who just want to act and make very good movies, it is about gaining respectability for their craft. IT’S ABOUT ACTING NOT THE MONEY. And actually, take time to watch the GMA interview with Brad. He mentions something along the lines that his youth may be on its last legs, but with age comes his wisdom, and he wouldn’t trade that for anything. He may have passed his prime (I don’t think he has), but so what??? He is fulfilled. He is complete. His staying power is not just his popularity or his wealth. It is the respect he has earned from his colleagues and studios and his fans.

  And how exactly do you know that it was a photo op with Z??? Can you read Brad’s mind??? You realize that wherever they go, they are bamboozled by paps. What do you want them to do? Lock themselves up in their rooms?

  Again, if you don’t approve of Brad and Angelina, just leave this site. This is a fan site. That should have been enough to ward you off.

  You’ve already made it clear that your views will remain unchanged (and rather ignorant), so, just leave it at that. You can argue as much as you want, but you will receive a lot of retaliations on this site because again, it is a fan site.

• Neela
  Sep 24, 2007 at 6:23 pm

  Also, Winnie, if Brad’s popularity is on the skids, why is Sherry able to post updates and infos one after another if not nearly everyday but week after week? And if his star is losing luminescence, why are there a slew of fans on this website arguing with you? Why is his IMDB message board inundated with comments (both negative and positive)? Why do blogs bother with him? Why do you bother with him??? Hmmmm.

  Sep 24, 2007 at 7:42 pm

  I guess I will have to see the movie. I did not think much of Brad until he hooked up with Angelina. Now I like him. I see no evidence that he is less popular now then before meeting Angelina. Maybe he lost the Jen want-to-bes as fans. Gained respect from women all over the world. I love the houses down in New Orleans that he is helping build.

• dapyro
  Sep 24, 2007 at 7:53 pm

  Winnie, if people no longer talk about him because he is overexposed how do you know? In a sense isn’t that good. People see him at the park and say “yawn. Seen that. Moving on.” If that was true they would not be tabloid fodder even to this day.

  You are allowed your opinion and mine is that you chose to take that view. When I looked at Pictures of him playing with his daughter while her mother was off doing a Humanitarian thing in a WAR ZONE I saw a child at play. Nothing less nothing More.

  That child was happy, laughing and running around. He did not have a T-shirt, Jacket or anything with his movie there. I do not care if it was photo-op this little girl was HAPPY. Look at the childs face.

  To Winnie–AOJJ is far from a flop. It was released in only 5 theaters this weekend and grossed nearly $30,000 per site. Compare this to the #1 movie, Resident Evil: Extinction, which was released nationwide and grossed just over $3,100 pper site. No one is saying AOJJ will be a huge box office hit, its not that kind of movie. But it is far too soon to call it a flop. (And BTW, AMH was just released this weekend in Europe and make over $1 million in two days.)

  I don’t see Brad & Ange’s popularity going down hill soon. They are as popular as ever, I like Ange & when she hooked up with Brad I like her even more. She made the right choice this time, as a father to 4 kids, he is doing one heck of a job. I salute both of them for doing the best they can as parents. fate brought them together, & with plenty of love it will be forever. I only have great admiration to these two.

  Sep 25, 2007 at 10:42 am

  Dianad, is there something wrong with you? I didn’t criticize Angelina Jolie and say she was a flop, I said AMH was a flop and I am only referring to the box office money, not the story! I have cheered for that film all the way, and I wish she would get a Oscar nom for it solely for the story to be front and center if nothing else!

  And yes, there are many serious actors who want to be in good films, but in the US, the studios go with the money makers, and that is a common fact, you can have some fool like the Jackass celebrities, and a true gifted actress like Cate Blanchett, Glen Close and Angelina Jolie, and their movies may not make millions, I am not a producer or head of a studio so I can’t do anything about it.

  I will see Jessee and I already know it is a wonderful film without even having to see it but will report what I think as soon as I do.

• dianad1968
  Sep 25, 2007 at 11:59 am

  lori if you were so supportive of angie and AMH why were you so quick to call it a flop, knowing that it had not opened worldwide? and again i will stress my point that other actors and actresses have had mediocre BO, but no one says anything about their movies being a flop, especially if the movie will not have mass appeal. there is nothing wrong with me, i can just recognise a bias comment when it is made. you said you dont care for angie, so that would explain why you were so quick to call this movie a flop.

• lori
  Sep 25, 2007 at 12:40 pm

  Dinad, I never said I was supportive of Angie, I said I was supportive of her in this movie and STRONGLY supportive of the film. I should have said it has been a flop SO FAR and especially in the US, which i t has been. No, I don’t care for her, I think she can be morbid wearing her BLack 99% of the time and even dressing the kids mostly in drab colors, but it seems to me you want to be argumentative with anyone that doesn’t praise her constantly. I think she has many good qualities but I don’t see her as a Saint that a lot of people try to paint her.

  I know this is a site for fans, but fans, not fanatics, she is human and is prone to mistakes like all the rest of us.

  I think there are many celebrities that make movies that don’t bring in large revenue, not just this one film. I am not into Blood and Guts films, I like a movie with a real story and AMH is a true example of that. I can enjoy a film that she stars in and enjoy her in the role, without having to idolize her!

  My advice to you is stop being a pain in the ass and be more logical!

• Molly
  Sep 25, 2007 at 3:29 pm

  I can see detractors are using a new tactic by saying that JPs movies are flops! That’s being so obtuse and ridiculous. Brad & Angie are uber A-listers that are the most famous and in demand. They don’t need to do commercial films anymore. They are at such an enviable place wherein they can just do films that hold a special place in their hearts be it that it has a socially profound message or about a person that they admire, etc. They do know that these films are not for mass appeal which makes them even more endearing to their fans because they aren’t superficial and egomaniacs. Doing good permeates their professional and personal lives.

  Actors who want to be A-listers will usually target commercial films. Some A-listers do that too maybe for vanity or the love of money. That makes me admire Angie and Brad even more because they have a social conscience and is very consistent about it.

  Lastly, why can’t celebrities like them be allowed to live their lives like the rest of us? They can’t be seen out with each other and their kids in the public without being accused of pimping themselves ! Such a ridiculous accusation. As Brad said, they won’t let their kids be boxed in and be deprived of a normal childhood.

  Sometimes, they are obliged to give personal interviews and have their kids photographed because the public has such an intense desire to see them. Otherwise, the media onslaught will be even worse.

  Haters are so biased and ridiculous that they demand a rebuttal.

  Robert C. James

  I am a Great Grandson of Jesse Woodson James and have written the movie screenplay of THE SECOND LEGEND OF JESSE WOODSON JAMES (c) 1993. The REAL Jesse lived to be 107 years age. He was still alive when I was born in 1951. The cover up by the James family was that Robert Ford killed Charlie Bigelow, and not Jesse James.

  I believe Brad Pitt as Jesse James will not portray the character of the “hardened, civil war and one of Quantril’s guerrilla veteran” whom the REAL Jesse was. His close knit family life was full of strife and tension because he was a “Wanted Man, Dead or Alive!” After his freedom from his supposed death, he even sang at the funeral.

  He was a desperado and traveled as far as Argentina, South America. He had over seventy five aliases he used during the 72 following years of his life. No, I beleive that another actor than Brat Pitt would have depicted the character of Jesse W. James to a rating of not R, but XXX.

  Robert, the picture that Sherry posted of Brad in the field as Jesse, was heartwarming as well as heartbreaking to me. I loved it and I think the expression on Brad’s face captured the essence of Jesse he wanted to get across.

  To me, and this is only my point of view, but the three most colorful and interesting characters of the Old West were Jesse of course, Wyatt and Billy the Kid. How interesting it must be for you to be a descendent of a true figure in our history!

  Molly, I am neither a fan or a Hater, so please don’t take this question personal, but isn’t Beowulf a commercial film?

• lori
  Sep 25, 2007 at 7:19 pm

  I do think that Jesse would be a film for mass appeal, young and old should like it.

  Again, every movie star does not always make millions at the so called box office, look at Russel Crowe, another Oscar winner, and his newest film isn’t doing that fantastic and he is a wonderful actor, not exactly my cup of tea, like I like Tom Hanks and I also like Sean Penn, and who has been more in the negative eye than him over the years! So no, we don’t have to be Haters to enjoy the super perfomances of some of these celebs, no one is picking out Brad or Angie, and yes, they are A-List and never have to work again if they didn’t want too!

I know she was in the goth look years ago when she was cutting herself and being a wild card, but she is definately more lady like now and has matured, she has said that herself, I am only quoting her remarks.

  I would suggest you take a cue from Neela who is intelligent, fair minded, and definately a Lady in my opinion.

  I don’t know where you live, Lori, but lots of people - women & men - wear black. Black is practically a uniform in big cities like New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles & Chicago. Everyone from professionals to sales associates at department stores wear it. One, black is generally considered a classic, elegant, sexy color - e.g., Little Black Dress, cocktail dresses & long gowns - check out Audrey Hepburn movies and society pages. Two, all of us who are overweight love black because it’s so slimming. Three, people who wear black save money because we can get lots of outfits from a few pieces, and did I mention black doesn’t get as dirty thereby saving trips to the dry cleaners?

  (My post on how wearing black is normal and widespread is under moderation.)

  Lori, it’s not very helpful - while you’re berating someone for being insulting - to insult them yourself, albeit subtly. And it’s not very friendly to the rest of us to single out Neela as your best friend. Makes me think you’re trying to pull a divide-and-conquer tactic on our board.
  What is your need to have everybody do as YOU think is right? Did someone appoint you the arbiter of taste? Face it - as in other things, taste & fashion is a personal, individual thing. It’s like favorite foods-there’s no One Ring That Rules Them All.

  P.S. to my first post -

  Goths, punk, hipsters, neo-Beatniks are still around to wear black. It never stopped being worn. In my culture, we traditionally wear black for one year as a sign of mourning and respect. Some wear it for the rest of their lives, like in Greece, Spain & the Philippines.

  I LOOKED IT UP! It said the following (it speaks for itself);-)
  A rant is a widespread and distinctive phenomenon of emotional speech or writing in the form of a series of complaints or attacks, about a topic of interest. Rarely, rants express great praise, defending an idea or a person from attack.

• lori
  Sep 26, 2007 at 5:10 pm

  Thank God Dinad is thru with me!

  Maxie, I do think I did praise Brad’s movie and Angie as an actress, maybe you didn’t read those “rant”?

  As far as Neela and my thoughts about her, to the misguided person that wrote “divide and conquer”, this isn’t Survivor is it? I just happen to enjoy reading her posts, she seems very logical and considerate to me, that is all, she seems like she knows what she is talking about, so please don’t try to cause bad feelings when there isn’t any need. She prob disagrees with me most of the time but I still respect her opinions. Are you trying to put someone on the defensive when there isn’t any need? Why?

  I certainly don’t expect anyone to go along with what I think is right, I just don’t think it is normal to wear dark drab colors most of the time and to dress children that way. It isn’t my culture to do so, and again, I am not the only person that has noticed this.

  Guys, all I want to say is “AGREE TO DISAGREE” and please move on. Other people have opinions rightly or wrongly and both sides are driving this argument down snore valley.

  Guess what guys, I have learnt that there is always someone who states they are a fan or admirer of XYZ when they really are not. Ignore them, let them have their say and they may or may not go away. The world is filled with worse haters than I have seen here, some are horrible horrible comment about celebrities and I get sickend.

  Lori, I haven’t heard anything about Beowulf going to generate Oscar buzz. Her role is small. That seems to be the way Angie likes to do things. Generally choosing small roles to be able to spend more time with her family. She is consistent.

  Commercial films can sometime be films wih a great message. They’re not mutually exclusive.

  my goodness! :lol:

  Is this still going on??? Some people will obviously ALWAYS have issues with Angie, and then Brad for being with her. They choose this way of seeing the world, to the point of lying to support it; there’s nothing any of us can do. So let them get on with it, B&A certainly don’t let them affect their lives.

  Now WHAT about the film…any more reviews please!!!!!?

  I am sure there will be more good reveiws after this weekend when more people get out to go see it.

  I don’t think anyone has to lie to support their point of view, especially when past history facts are true.

  I think Brad and Angie both would laugh the loudest at some of the posts written about them being Saints and they would be astonished at some of the posts focusing on them so much, I am sure they would say, why even on here instead of following their lead and doing something constructive and good ourselves that would help or benefit others.
