Mona Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 You said it right. I saw Gia long time ago, those types of roles suit her, as well as almost everything else she's done. I don't think she can do heroine roles. She thrives on predatory/ aggressive characters (art imitating life? dunno.... or maybe her lips call for these types of characters). Whatever those lips look porny lol. Yeah, their drumbeaters are lying to Brangelina. Or the whole of Hollywood is plain stupid. These two are as meaningless as can be. Only the tabloid reporters (in their payroll?) are really following them in their charity work. I think choosing between these 2, I'd pick Angelina anytime over Brad Pitt, who looks plain dumb, a male bimbo if you will, toting Angelina like his Paris's chihuahua. Anyway, I'm glad Julia Roberts is back making movies. She's easier to look at. I like Brad better than Angelina. He doesn't seem like the brightest blub on the tree, but I personally think he's a better actor and seems more likeable as a person, IMO.

Aquamarine Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Whether Ledger's death was accidental or deliberate, he unquestionably deserved the nomination and the win. He carried that movie, from the moment it was hyped, through his death and the press, right to the box office. His performance is what made that movie what it is. A masterpiece. He did exactly what a supporting actor is supposed to do in a flick. Appear on screen for a brief time, make the movie his own and leave without letting the audience forget his presence. No one else in 2008 came close to impacting a movie like he did. That's why he deserved the honor, alive or dead. Totally agree, apart from the bit about a supporting actor being supposed to make a movie his own--by definition, he's supposed to support the leads rather than eclipse them. But I actually think his performance did support the movie as a whole. Regarding Angelina, I get what you all are saying about her smirkitude. Still, I wouldn't be too depressed if I woke up one morning looking like her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I'm glad Julia Roberts is back making movies. She's easier to look at. I wouldn't say he was stupid, but I definately sense that Angelina's the driving force in the family. I think many may miscontrue Angelina as being arrogant or smug, but I think there's a vulnerability to her. I personally believe motherhood is important to her because she wants to make up for her children what she felt she lacked as a child - a father figure. I think she wants to make sure her children feel a stability she clearly didn't. I like them both as actors, but they're both limited. Brad was amazing in Jesse James, yet I thought he was a little cringeworthy in Burn After Reading. I don't think he pulls off comedy well, but at least he tries.

Wolfman Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Shut up. Why don't you and the rest of the "perfect people" do the same. I honestly could give a flying monkey if you think I'm a bigot or not. I know I'm not. Also, I called my GAY friend in CA to tell them about this and he laughed at you guys. "Like I'm sure they never have made fun of someone in their lives" is what he basically said. Get over it clowns. So go ahead and FLAME ON (all puns intended). P.S. To the more open-minded people on here...rock on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not a small group of friends you know personally and hang out with. This is a public forum with thousands of members from all over the world, all races, religions etc. How about a little tolerance. Has nothing to do with anyone here thinking they're perfect. Really it's just a childish attitude you're taking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electrophile Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 We don't really give a rat's ass if your random gay friend is laughing at us. Seriously. Totally don't care. BTW, do you ever notice how when someone is called out for making racial jokes or jokes about sexual orientation, they always have to follow it up with "I totally have a gay/black/Jewish/Muslim/etc,. friend so I'm not a bigot/homophobe/racist/etc.,." I have always found that interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another example of that would be: "You know, I don't mean to be rude but that dress makes you look heavy." If you have to qualify it, you are going to do it anyway.

Charlotte Sometimes Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I'm very pleased that Heath Ledger and Kate Winslet won. Me too! It was long overdue for Kate. She always turns in a fantastic performance. And Ledger stole the whole thing in Dark Knight. Sorry, Christian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have gay friends, the ones i met thought i was a bigot because i wanted to protect marriage and give them civil unions. I was willing to be their friend, they, not so much.

Funny I was thinking of you (and your friend from Brazil) the other day. I was reminiscing about the O2 trip and how I was on the tube with you two. Too bad I didn't say hi that night.

Knebby Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Mickey should of won, but his forthright views have upset too many Academy people in the past so I bet that went against him. He even conceded to Sean before the ceremony, knowing that his chances of a win were not that good. Shame, as he is brilliant. I am a bit surprised about the amount of Oscars Slumdog won.... I haven't seen it, but a few friends have and I have read average reviews. Comes across as being a tad overrated? Really, it isn't. Its the kind of movie you come out of a theatre actually affected by. The child actors are mesmerising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
