I am going to see BB tomorrow. From what I have read…..it is a must see. As a Jolie-Pitt fan I can hardly wait. I don’t know if any of you have seen them in person or not…..but I have. I happened to be in CA when they were having the premier of Ocean’s 13. They are both ” beautiful..I got Brad’s autograph. What a thrill it was for me to see them. Out of the two… I love Angelina the most. When Brad was signing my autograph book I asked where’s Angelina…he replied she’s coming….but I was squeezed out by someone and couldn’t get her to sign. I got some good pictures of them though. Also on my trip I saw Brad, George Clooney and Matt Damon getting their footprints and handprints done in front of the Chinese theater. Also at the premier were Bernie Mack, Al Pacino and the others that were in Oceans 13.

Benjamin Button was very Fincher-esque… almost as good as his other stuff if not for some nagging plot holes

deborah,

I actually thought twilight was good compared to the book (I had to force myself to finish the series. It got really pathetic). Yes it was over-hyped with most theaters over-packed with screaming preteens. *rolls eyes*

I like many have my fingers crossed for two oscars going to the jolie-pitts. Brad and Angelina gave fantastic performances this year. =]

nadia, I would love to see the J-P family as well, but I’m glad that they seem to finally be enjoying some privacy! I know Angie starts filming Salt in February. Does anyone know where that shoot will be taking place (or at least the first part of it). If it’s somewhere in the states other than LA, I think it will be then that we will see the J-P family again (with the possible exception of some blurry photos of them getting onto or off of planes). I also think it will be then that we will see the first candid photos of the twins (not counting the very blurry ones of them at the airport in their carseats), especially since Angie hinted that they might go to set with her at least some of the time (when she mentioned initally being worried about going back to work, but then Brad assured her that the twins would be old enough by then and they could make it work).

If that’s the case, I think we might see some pictures of the twins (and possibly the other kids if they visit Angie on set as well) even if the shoot is in LA.

Oh, and LicaPP, I take everything reported by FemaleFirst with not one, but TWO, entire salt shakers! If the wedding DID happen, it almost certainly wasn’t legally binding as I doubt a seven-year-old would be allowed to perform a legal marriage ceremony. In anycase, at least FF is spreading a POSITIVE rumor about the J-Ps for once! They mostly seem to rip them apart. From what I’ve heard, the ladies at FF are big JA fans (NOT saying that everyone who is a JA fan hates Brad and Angie, or vice versa!).

Oh, and does anyone know if Brad’s still shooting Inglorious Bastards, and if so, if it will wrap before Salt begins shooting? If it DOESN’T wrap before Salt starts shooting, I wonder how Brad and Angie will juggle that, since they seem to try their hardest to keep the family together.

Brad Pitt’s performance was absolutely superb, especially his protrayal of a child and balancing it with the necessary old man’s voice and ’shell’. The wide-eyed, curious looks, the mischievousness, the simple honest expression of sadness, etc. all came through beautifully without compromising the demeanor of an old person. He played every age of the character spot on, but the child’s one was flawless.

The movie is profound. It makes you reflect on the manner you have lived your life and think of the people and the opportunities in it. It’s not simply a love story. I came away thinking how I would like be when I wake up the next morning.

It’s probably the best movie to inpsire new year resolutions. Unfortunately, it is possible that more people are drawn to simpler, fluffier feel-good flicks for holiday fun.

People, I am so happy you loved TCCOBB and I hope at least Brad will get nominated for an Oscar.TCCOBB opened first in Aurtralia in only limited 274 sreening and made 2.6 mill.
I just wish we could see the familly.
I also think that if TCCOBB opened on some other wikend it would be first but probably would open with smaller numbers, so with 39 mil. it is great!!!

Have seen TCCOBB, superly directed, performed, screenplayed from a short story, enjoyed it thoroughly. Best point about it is it lingers with emotion, and makes you reflect. Great film, exceptional plot. Should be Best Film of the Year

Jhoey27, I’m not a kid, and I must confess that, if I do go see Marley and Me, it will be mostly because of the dog! I’m a HUGE dog lover!
