BREAKING: Amazon Confuses Brad & Angie

Soap, marital vows, eating nutrients and 99% of the colors on the color wheel are just a few of the things that confuse Brad Pitt and St. Angie Jo, and now you can add Amazon.com to that list. On a recent night down in the bowels of their chateau, Brad and Angie hunched over their desktop Gateway computer and poked at the keyboard while trying to figure out how to drag shit from their wish list to their cart and what is this doshgarnit 1-click ordering thingamajig? AMAZON.COM: How does it work?!

Angie tells USA Today (via SS) that she can survive in the real Amazon on nothing but the sweat drops of a monkey's nutsack and a few leaves, but she just can't with Amazon.com.

“I always Christmas shop early in case we have to travel somewhere. Brad and I were on Amazon.com for the first time a week ago. But we got lost. After an hour, we just shut it off. My brain is too scattered and the wires go in different directions. I’ll stick to catalogs.”

Let me sum up that entire quote for you in 3 words: BITCHES WERE STONED! Oh fucking well, I guess this year Maddox is going to get another clothing stamper from Lillian Vernon and finger beams from Oriental Trading Company.

And here's a scene from the near future of Maddox playing dubstep for Brangie:

Lol, this was *exactly* what I thought of the other day when I was watching a video on youtube of someone interviewing Michael Shannon about his role as General Zod. The guy doing the interview actually asked him, "have you even *seen* the original Superman?", as though Michael Shannon has been under a rock for the last 50 years & has just now decided to crawl out, & is "frightened & confused" by the "tiny people in the magic box".

Needless to say, Michael Shannon confirmed, to no one's surprise, that he had not only seen the original Superman but had even seen the sequel that actually features General Zod as a primary character. Celebrities: they're just like us!

Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer was a Phil Hartman character on SNL in the 90's. He Looked like one of the geico cavemen, but with better hair. He would claim to be "just a caveman and your world frightens and confuses me", but then he'd be talking on a cellphone, talk about his vacation house in Martha's Vineyard or give a complicated legal argument.

Their kids are photographed all the time holding Xbox and other video games on their way out of their jet. So, either Angie Jo is nowhere near the kids while they're playing the games or using the computer, or she's full of shit. Acting like one of those aliens on Star Trek with her bobble head cocked to one side asking, "What is this 'television'?" Skeleton, please.

Hw stupid must you be when amazon confuses you? I love that site. It's really very easy to navigate - you have a box where you type in what you want, and it gives you a choice of categories to look in, and when you select one, it gives you all the results. You even have product reviews and ratings so you won't buy something crappy. SIMPLE.

Do celebrities actually pull this crapola about not understanding the Web? Yeah, way to make yourself look like a mush brained Luddite.

I guess Brangelina think it makes them look deep and unaware of the material things of life, being such deep souls as they are. Blech.

oh wow. i am so not into horror movies - i dont like all the blood and gore. i find it boring. but i am way into cannibals and i thought that film was ridiculous. except for the shit they did to animals. that shit was real and it was way fucked up. but you gotta seriously fuck me up in the head and shock the shit out of me for me to get creeped out by something. one scene i remember is the dismemberment scene in last king of scotland. that shocked me. maybe i just get shocked by the wrong shit? idk

i do love a movie that leaves me with the what the fucks so i'm taking notes as i read the comments.

I totally agree, on both posts! I was so disappointed by Human Centipede because it was kind of gross but nowhere near the "OMG I ALMOST BARFED" factor that I was hoping for, that everybody was saying was there. I want to be horrified, I want to be grossed out, I want to walk away thinking "what the hell did I just watch?" That's what I look for in horror movies!

I love findadeath too, I'm going back through some of the ones I read a long time ago just because it's so interesting to me. Part of it is my way of coping with death and part of it is the fact that celebrities always seem so unreachable..so invincible..until something happens. Even with Amy Winehouse, I should have expected her death and I definitely wasn't surprised to hear about it..but it was still kind of shocking in a way.

I also look at MyDeathSpace and that kind of gets to me. There was one post about a girl who wrapped her car around a tree while she was texting and the officer found her unfinished text when he showed up on the scene. I think stuff like that is actually GOOD for people to see. You hear about texting and driving all the time blah blah but it doesn't really hit home until you see a face with it.

On topic so people don't yell at me: Brad Pitt is definitely looking like a lesbian here. But Angie has slept with ladies before, so I guess it's all good by her? I wonder if they have this crazy sex life anymore with all those kids around.

I have no idea what shopping in the USA or France, or whatever country Brangelina is currently in, is like, but I do know, that it sucks to try to get something in regular shops. I think it's been like that since our country changed to Euro which was the beginning of the financial crisis (oh well, but we love the EU, don't we?) - so shops stock sensible since then - you don't get anything. So I basically am doing all my shopping online, via Amazon, now.
Not for groceries though, though I wish it were that way; I tried to get ground hazelnuts this saturday. So I drove to a shop, the streets were jammed. No hazelnuts. Okay, I had to get cash anyways, so I drove a bit further the streets were even more jammed, no hazelnuts, so I drove a lot further, a car crash in front of the shop, the street blocked (and yes, jammed) because a lorry was involved, went into the store, no hazelnuts. So I went into another store which was jammed with people and bought 4 packets of hazelnuts and swore myself to never leave the house on a saturday again.
Next thing, I needed a (paper) notebook, a simple one, but no pad, so I went to a store today, and thought by myself, that I could also use some good old washing agent (for wool) - the only thing I got was a bar of chocolate. And you really wonder why the chain is forced to close 600 of it's shops?
I can imagine that internet killed regular shops in the first place, but now they're killing themselves by not having the simplest things in stock.
(Then I went to the store next door, but all I got was a salad - so I went to work, my mother later drove me to my car which was parked at the uni (she swears she'll never drive me there again), then I drove through the jammed streets to a store which had notebooks in stock and then I drove to yet another store to buy groceries - goddammit, I don't have time for this shit!)

Super, thanks for posting that.

I have a fascination with all things creepy. I like reading about peoples lives and manners of death, I like reading about serial killers and murders, and I like gory horror movies. Does that make me Charles Manson? Uh no. People who know right from wrong, have no mental deficits, and can separate reality from fiction aren't altered by reading or seeing those things. It satisfies my curiosity about death and I'm not crazy so I'm not going to go out and murder people. You'd be surprised how many empathetic, normal people who are mothers and executives and crap who have the same interests (just look at findadeath.Com) Not into it then that's fine, but curiosity about life and death is perfectly natural.

*************************************************************************

I love findadeath.com. I have such a morbid fascination with that stuff. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that I'm terrified of death, & reading about it & the different ways in which it occurs is kind of my way with dealing with it & getting close to it without actually experiencing it.

Ms. Caligula's picture

Wow! Didn't mean to start controversy with my "A Serbian Film" comment. And I guess I am a "sick puppy" cuz one of my problems with the film was that it didn't go far enough. I'm a big movie buff & I'm always up for a good exploitation and/or boundary-pushing film. Whenever I go into something as hyped to be some sort of "extreme" movie (like A Serbian Film has been) I tend to compare it to the two big ones: "Cannibal Holocaust" & Gaspar Noe's "Irreversible". These two films are the two most disturbing films that I've ever seen. Especially "Irreversible". I've never had such a visceral reaction to a film before. That film actually made me physically ill, which is part of what I believe it was supposed to do. "A Serbian Film" just didn't have the same effect. It was kind of a disjointed mess that looked like something someone had put together just for the sake of shock value (which was probably the case). There are plenty of films that have done similar things before, & better. And except for a few scenes, it wasn't even particularly gory. I guess I was expecting kind of a combination of "Inside" level gore (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0856288/) meets the graphic porn/violence combination of "Baise-moi" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0249380/), & I got neither. Instead I got a kind of sloppy, half-hearted mess. I almost get the feeling that the filmmakers realized where their film was going & suddenly decided to puss out because they were afraid of what the backlash would be. Or, more likely, somebody had some good ideas for a really fucked up story with a nihilistic message & just did a really shitty job of putting it on paper & translating it to film.

So, I give it 5 outta 10, I guess.

Anyway, I just pictured in my head Brad Pitt in his goofy hipster glasses screaming "NEWBORN... PORN!" at the top of his lungs to a terrified Nick Manning-type porn actor who's trying to escape his dark lair, & I thought it was funny. That was the original point I was trying to make;)

It's not about personal preference. You're not watching that shit in a vacuum. These movies normalize child abuse, rape and murder and that affects all of us.

People who watch them think they're somehow immune to their influence. No one is immune. What we allow into our minds shapes us, for better or worse.

I used to watch horror movies as a kid without the slightest flinch. I thought I was so cool for being able to do that. What a hard-hearted little asshole I was, actually.

With maturity, my perspective has changed. Movies that glorify and normalize violence make me sick now. I have more empathy than I used to, even for a fictional character on a screen. I like to think that means I've learned something from life and am getting better at this business of being a human.

Ah, I see. You're better than I am because we have different tastes in movies. Good for you. I know you won't respond back, you're probably out at a tupperware party or something. For the record, though, I don't think I am "cool" because I liked the movie. It affected me in a disturbing way and I found it very interesting because of the shock value, the amazing acting and the unusual and well-written story. I don't condone any activities from it in real life (since I am not a psycho) and stories of horrible things in real life make me sick and depressed. I can separate fiction from reality so no need to be so condescending, alright?

Btw, I'm reading "What is the What?", an autobiographical novel of Achak Deng, one of the Lost Boys of Sudan, as interpreted by Dave Eggars-- a really compelling read about people surviving true atrocities.

Anyhoo, in the novel Achak does mention in very BRIEF passing, Angie Jolie. He and another Lost Boy meet up with some ambassadors and Jolie and tell their story to them.

________________________________________

Sounds farfetched. Unless Jolie comes down with the flu, spends two weeks in a hotel room writing a screenplay called In The Land of Blood and..uh...Sand, or something, and it just happens to be the exact same story as the one the boys told her, and she makes millions off of it while they get squat, and everybody thinks she's a genius celebrity writer and director.

Oh, and if she eats nothing but air for the sake of the poor starving Sudanese children.

I'm best friends with a hippie who doesn't much care for the Internet and even he is capable of navigating Amazon. Or would at least sit there and try to figure it out. His mind is "free-thinking" and often forgetful due to the weed he smokes... but he still keeps up with technology. You don't need to be a computer wiz to operate Amazon by any means.
