The Photoshop Awards: Angie On Vanity Fair

Holy Zahara! I think this is my 5th Brangie post of the day. I'm getting closer (not really) to my goal of 20 and then I just know something epic is going to happen. Lighting will strike me or Jello will announce the triumphant return of Jello-1-2-3.

Maddox's mommy made the cover of July's Vanity Fair. Thousands of copies will probably be covered in Brangalooie genital fluids by the end of the month. Besides her hypnotic chichis, I'm not into it. Kelly LeBrock did this look better in the 80s.

Visit Vanity Fair to read some quotes from the interview.

Yay! Vanity Fair is one of the few mags I subscribe to. I can't wait.

Physical beauty cannot hide her obvious personality flaws - which are many.

To me, she's an ugly creature wrapped in pretty packaging.
******________*********_________
But answer honestly...you'd still sleep with her right? I mean, if you just met her in a bar and didn't know anything about her. I know a lot of horrible pretty women that get a head or give head in life. Let's face it, being pretty counts for a lot. Being good seems to count for very little these days.

Micheal Phillips is a highly respected film critic for the Chicago Tribune. He went to Cannes to watch all the films and he is also Roger Ebert's replacement on Ebert & Roper. He knows movies. The guy is excellent.

As far as I am concerned this is a stupid argument. You don't think Angelina can act, fine, I am not gonna try and change your mind. They're plenty of actors I don't think can act but get lots of praise for their acting. So really thats up to people like you and me who decide who is a good actor and who is not. We have different views on that.

Shit. Thank God she got something-or that there was a studio who was willing to spend the money on plastic surgery to give it to her .

As far as Angie Jo's acting ability, I liked her in Gia and in Girl, Interrupted., but I don't feel her talent is anywhere near as impressive as people like Laura Linney, Lili Taylor, Kate Winslet, people whose acting ability is obvious.
******************************************8

Agreed. Angie did a good job in Gia and Girl, Interupted.. Of course, she was basically playing an extension of herself - in my opinion. The way she used to be --- yaknow, when she was fun, wild N crazy..

Now her movie choices are pitiful. I mean "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" was laughable -- it was so bad.. And "Taking Lives" with Ethan Hawke -- dreadful.. what about "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow"... or "Life or Something Like That".

She's been in some SHITTY movies!

I LOVED the series of SATC.
I just have this thing about refusing to see any Movies that were TV shows. I still haven't seen "Charlie's Angels".
I don't want to ruin any happy memories I have of any shows....too disappointing.

I had to see the David Lynch "Fire Walk With Me" since the TV series was so weird and didn't have enough answers.

I like SATC. I'm disappointed that the movie is just a re-do of season six. If you haven't heard***spoiler**** Big and Carrie break up and get back together-AGAIN. WTF??? When is that dumb bitch going to get out of that fucked up relationship with Big? Adian was great and she couldn't stand him??? I guess because he treated her well. Instead she ends up with the guy who treats her like crap??? Marries someone else, stands her up at her wedding, leads her on for years and years until he's like 65 and a peepaw?
You should only go see the movie to see the clothes. That was the only reason I saw Devil Wears Prada. But they took no chances in this film. The characters haven't evolved. Carrie hasn't learned a fucking thing.

In fact, Hot Scot Gerard Butler said of working with her on Tomb Raider that he was surprised she had an Oscar, because he found himself having to bring his acting down to her level, or something along those lines.

That's BS Angelina is an amazing actress. Angelina is getting rave reviews for her roll in the Clint Eastwood movie. Micheal Phillips is already saying she is due to an Oscar nom for this role. Angelina also played a stable person last year when she was nominated all those times last year. So give me a fucking break with Angelina can only play psychos bullshit.

It takes more that children to make you a woman. Children are an option, its not written in the sky that a woman has to reproduce.

Yeah....WOMEN want to see "Sex And The City"....at least that is what the NY Post has told me....I guess I should go check my private parts again, because I couldn't give a shit...
*******
Weinstein made the point when questioned about the success of Pretty Woman that "You just don't get it. It's about the shopping."
Women LOVE to indulge in fantasies of vapid, unrestrained consumerism-especially when we aren't paying for it. It ties into the other vapid fantasy of being rescued by a white knight. Sex and the City is around 2/3 that.
It's a flaw. A sad flaw we have. But it's only a fantasy. Most of us don't live our lives that way, but it doesn't mean we don't like to indulge once in a while. It only becomes dangerous when women adopt it as their identity. I know a few friends who went quietly broke trying to live the Sex and the City fantasy....the $400 shoes, Louis Vuitton handbags, etc.
Which image should women adopt, the SATC view of women or the Angelina Jolie, adopt children by the boatload at the cost of at least $30,000 each when you're in an unstable relationship?
It's the fucking madonna/whore syndrome played out in the media over and over again. When are we going to get some real, level headed, kind, sensible, role models?

ImpertinentVixen's picture

I was hoping MK would post again about Gayken knocking up a meemaw, but since he didn't, I'm putting this joke here:

With all the new technology regarding fertility recently, a 65-year-old friend of mine was able to give birth. When she was discharged from the hospital and went home, I went to visit.

'May I see the new baby?' I asked

Not yet,' She said 'I'll make coffee and we can visit for awhile first.'

Thirty minutes had passed, and I asked, 'May I see the new baby now?'

'No, not yet,' She said.

After another few minutes had elapsed, I asked again, 'May I see the baby now?'

'No, not yet,' replied my friend.

Growing very impatient, I asked, 'Well, when can I see the baby?'

'WHEN HE CRIES!' she told me.

'WHEN HE CRIES?' I demanded. 'Why do I have to wait until he CRIES?'

'BECAUSE I FORGOT WHERE I PUT HIM, O.K.?!!'

Now, I love to be snarky about Angie being a home wrecking megalomaniacal nutter, but as far as her acting ability...C minus, at best. She is only good in roles where she is playing someone unstable. Crazy, see! Nut-job.

Further more, as stunning as she USE to be, now, she's just scary.

Angelina Jolie on artists as parents:
“Artists raise their kids differently... We have art around the house, we have books, we go to plays, we talk. Our focus is art and painting and dress-up and singing. It’s what we love. So I think you can see how artists in some way raise other artists.”

Yes, because only ARTISTS have art and books around the house and communicate with their kids and take them to plays. My parents were not "artisits," and we had more art and culture in our home than anyone I knew. FUCKING IDIOT!!!! I have never wanted to bitch-slap the fuck out a person so much in my life.

I know what Mariane looks AND sounds like and Angelina was only halfway decent. She looked nothing like MP and she kept going in and out of the accent, especially in scenes where she was shouting or cursing. AJ is no Meryl when it comes to the accents, she just isn't. But the movie was still intriguing despite those problems.
