Extra has a feature online about hottest PDAs in 2007. http://extratv.warnerbros.com/ People can say in the comments who they think had hottest PDAs in 2007. I said Brad & Angelina, natch. (The first post said B&A were fake.)

Newsweek has a web exclusive interview with Brad: http://www.newsweek.com/id/77962/page/1. It’s fun & funny. Brad talks of not becoming Senator Pitt, Mom, Jerry Lewis, singing, Xanax & kids.

OTOH, Filmstew’s dvd reviewer liked AMH & loved Angie’s performance. It’s very well-written, and reading it was almost the same as watching it again (I’m going to watch the dvd one more time). I can think of 4 moments of poignancy. Which moments were the most moving for you?

Fire Walk with Angelina

You’ll read a lot of reviews about Angelina’s prematurely released Oscar hopeful. But we bet this is the only write-up that connects it back to David Lynch.

A Mighty Heart is powered, though, by Jolie’s performance, and her portrayal of Mariane is one of mesmerizingly tightened effect and distress – her very soul seems clenched. Two big emotional moments leapt out for me,..

Mariane is asked if there is anything she would say to her husband if he could now hear her. The answer in and of itself is brief and obvious (“I love you”), but the sing-song, knee-jerk reflexivity of Jolie’s line-reading is heartrending, and a reminder that sometimes the most obvious sentiment is still the most poignant..

Having danced along the razor’s edge of doubt, hope and steadfastness for its entire running time, the declaration feels emotionally devastating. But it’s also moving in a genuine way, one tinged with discernment, and the compassion of tact — qualities that, if more greatly understood and embraced, could surely fuel more thoughtful, sympathetic worldviews.

Here’s something the few odd ducks here will like (I think they’re only half right – both Angie & Brad should have been nominated):

Nominating the Wrong Half of Brangelina

By FilmStew Staff

Having Angelina Jolie as your mate certainly has its perks, but being equally noticed during 2007 awards season is apparently not one of them.

Showbiz Tonight has a segment tonight, Friday, 12/14/07, on “transformations” good & bad – looking at Brad, Ben Affleck & Britney. Angelina would have been a good one too.

I just watched it. Thanks for the tip. I didn´t hear the word “weird”, but LK did say the names were not “Jane” or “Mary”, which of course is more a joking comment. I liked the way Brad did talk about his kids without actually revealing anything. He is very protective of his family.

Thanks, ligaya! I will check out the video clip. However, if he really used the word “weird”, I am not surprised Brad didn´t really go into it. It feels a bit insulting to call your choice of names for your children weird.

Clarification, Sophia: none of that post was me. The whole thing was written by Karen Dalton-Beninato in the Huffinngton Post.

I think the video clip is up on Larry King’s website. I think Larry did use the word “weird.”

Brad was complimentary but vague in his answer. I expected him to be specific about the meanings of Maddox Chivan, Pax Thien, Zahara (sorry, I forgot 2nd name), and Shiloh Nouvel. I’ve read lots of articles about the kids’ names origins, so I was surprised that Brad didn’t do that.

ligaya, not sure if I understood you correctly. Did Larry Kind ask Brad Pitt why he gave his children such weird names? And if so, what did Brad answer?
