I think I'm a little bit in love with Brad Pitt

[layne67]

No, not a little, a lot. Because omg, Benjamin Button? Is totally and absolutely amazing. And oh oselle, if they could make Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett looked like that, they could so totally make Jensen Ackles look 17 ( yeah, yeah, it still rankles with me that they didn't use Jensen himself to play teen!Dean ) The right makeup, the right lighting, camera angle, CGI, body-double whatever, Brad was totally believable playing someone 20 years younger than his real age. Cate, too. My God, she looked so young!

Such a wonderful, amazing story. Brad and Cate have great chemistry together. I love them in Babel and I love them in Button. There're maybe a couple of scenes that creep me out a little but otherwise I LOVE the story! I cried and I laughed and have I mentioned that I've fallen in love with Brad Pitt?

And Galadriel and the White Witch appearing in one movie - how awesome is that?

I'd so totally watch this movie again.

Rating : 8.5/10

I like Brad since 'Thelma and Louise' and turned out into a great actor.
Btw, i posted a Blind item today if you are interesting.

[layne67.livejournal.com]

I didn't realize he was in Thelma and Louise! I liked him in Se7en, but it was Babel which made me really notice him. And Button of course. Oh Jasmine, you must watch the movie!!!

[ckll.livejournal.com]

I have watched all Brad's movies except the last one so far.
Let's not forget him Interview with the vampire, right?

[layne67.livejournal.com]

I didn't watch that one either. Tom Cruise? Heh, no thanks :)

But I LOVE Brad Pitt now!!

[ckll.livejournal.com]

Girl if you watch that movie, you will thank me forever.

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Slashy much, eh? Okay, now that I'm on a Brad-high, I'll go look for the DVD :))

[munibunny.livejournal.com]

I still haven't been able to see this movie. Love Brad Pitt, though. ♥

About the blind item... you think it's Kellen Lutz? He just hooked up with his 90210 costar Annalyne McCord...

My mom couldn't stop talking about "Benjamin Button" after she saw it. She hopes it wins lots of awards tomorrow night.

[i-o-r-h-a-e-l.livejournal.com]

Wow. Two of my students said it was amazing. :O

[mews1945.livejournal.com]

I've always liked Brad Pitt. He's a wonderful actor. Interview With the Vampire is worth watching, truly. You'll be glad you did if you get it. And he's absolutely great in Burn After Reading.

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Oh hon, you mustmustmust watch that movie!! Even my two boys, and hubby, love it!

I don't know Kellen Lutz, but oh man, the wordings ... the fiance and the dogs ( biggest clue!! ) and the hair and the abs and the ass, could it be anyone else? And remember that new ring!!!!

[layne67.livejournal.com]

I hope so, too. I heard Slumdog Millionaire is great, too, haven't watched it yet, but judging Benjamin Button on its own merit, I hope it wins the awards too! And Brad is AWESOME, and Cate Blanchett and the actress who played the White Witch, what's-her-name, Tilda Swanson? You didn't go see it with your mum?

[mochness.livejournal.com]

I don't like Brad Pitt and I couldn't watch more than half of the movie =S I had to stop watching it because I couldn't take how boring it felt.

I only know of one person who shares my opinion. Everyone else just loves him/it =)

[shirebound]

No, I didn't see it, nor did I see "Slumdog". I haven't been in the mood for intense storylines!

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Brad Pitt made my heart drop, at least twice!! If you go see the movie, try to guess which parts had me swooning like a teenager :DD

It's a wonderful movie, Shinta :))

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Btw, have you read about the blind item?

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Aha - but I wasn't a fan before! I've only seen him in Se7en and The Devil's Own, thought he was good in both but still wasn't a fan. I didn't even think he was good-looking! I started paying attention after 'Babel', and now, after Button, I'm a fan. Very late into it!!

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Oh but it did have its light moments. See, my 15-yr-old and 12-yr-old like it too! And hey, it's so good to see Galadriel again!

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Hee hee, I'm a new convert, Julia! I thought he was good before but for some reasons I wasn't really a fan. Until Babel, and now of course!

I haven't seen the two movies you mentioned but I'll go look for the DVDs now :))

[theartoffic.livejournal.com]

I thought it was a great movie too! I loved the premise and thought Cate and Brad did an awesome job. I cried through the whole thing tho *g*.

[i-o-r-h-a-e-l.livejournal.com]

I have. And my heart broke for Jen, if it was true. But then it's not Jay's fault, either. :(

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! You've seen!!! Omg didn't Brad looked omg sooooo beauiful when he was on that motorbike?!?

I cried buckets when Benjamin left Daisy and their daughter. And when they met again when Benjamin looked twenty. And I love that part when they were in their new home with the mattress and the Beatles. And that old man who was struck by lighntning 7 times LOL.

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Well, it may not be them of course, but if it was them, don't take everything too literally. That's what blind items are all about anyway, throwing random clues. I'm actually on cloud 9, if the item was about them that is, because hey, it's them! And like I said, not everything in that article is necessarilly true.

[aredhelebenesse.livejournal.com]

I would like to watch this movie once soon.
Actually I never disliked Brad Pitt, I also never found him very outstanding or anything. But lately I discovered he's one of the very few men who look really good with a moustache. I don't like moustaches at all, but Brad Pitt looks posh with it.

[verangel.livejournal.com]

I love how he's matured. I honestly wasn't crazy about Brad Pitt...too hollywood. But he has gotten interesting as he's aged and even better looking in the funk. Hugs you...I can't wait to see this too xoxox v

[layne67.livejournal.com]

I think he improves with age. Not that he wasn't good before, it just never occured to me to fangirl him. I think I more or less lumped him with Leo and Tom, I never did like those two, though for some reasons I set Brad Pitt a little apart to Tom and Leo.

And yes, do watch the movie! *bounces*

[layne67.livejournal.com]

I started to love him in Babel, and now Button just about seals the deal. And I like what he has become in RL, father to six kids, and three of them not even his own. I thought he has come a long way from those days of just another pretty teenage heart-throb.

It's a great movie, even without Brad Pitt in it. Having him as the lead, and of course Cate Blanchett! is icing on the cake :D

*hugs you*

Happy weekend to you, Vee!

[aredhelebenesse.livejournal.com]

I think he improves with age.

That's a good point! I saw several people looking a lot better the wiser they became. They seem to be a bit like wine. Tom is in my opinion the opposite. He gets stranger with the amount of money he makes. But that's maybe only what we can see without knowing these people privately.

[mochness.livejournal.com]

I've seen him in a lot of movies and even though Se7en is a fav of mine, it's not because of him =P

[rieyll.livejournal.com]

Hubby and I were very excited about this movie when we first heard of it. We didn't think it would be released here, so hubby downloaded it.

I totally bawled at the end of the movie, when Brad's character was physically a child, but displayed symptoms of Alzheimer's (or some such old people symptom thingy). And when he finally died? That did it for me.

Then again, although we enjoyed it very much, I have to say that Slumdog Millionaire is much better. And the only reason I'm comparing the two is because of all the awards hype these two movies got. :)

[layne67.livejournal.com]

I want to watch Slumdog Millionaire but it's not showing at the theatres near us. I'll have to wait for the DVD :((

I didn't think they'd show Benjamin Button here either, but I guess since it's Brad Pitt. Heh, the theatre was full of teenage girls ooh-ing and ahh-ing over the beautiful Mr Pitt, especially when he was physically young, and me along with them!

[tj-smartz.livejournal.com]

I adored that movie. Mind you I've been a fan of Brad's since I was 14 and I've been crushing on him ever since. And Cate's my girl.

[layne67.livejournal.com]

So, why oh why do you think they didn't use Jensen himself as teen!Dean? Brad is what, 43, 45? And he totally looked 20 in that scene *swoons*

[willoweese.livejournal.com]

I haven't had a chance to watch this yet, but it sounds very interesting. I must admit I have a love/hate relationship with Brad's movies. Some I absolutely adore, others, I'm not all that impressed with.

[layne67.livejournal.com]

The plot's very intriguing and I was curious to see how they'd make Brad go through all the ages, from baby to a very old man. I think they did a very good job indeed, and Brad's a fantastic actor in it, especially when he was old physically.

[tj-smartz.livejournal.com]

I think maybe because it would have been weird with Jensen but not Jared as Sam. Or maybe because having Jensen would have REALLY exuberated the age difference between the actor that played Sam. It was bad enough with the two actors they used. Even if Colin is brilliant as young!Sam.

But I would have loved that alot.

[layne67.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking it's more of the budget thing, since you know, they're on a low budget and stuff. Aarrgh!!!

[tj-smartz.livejournal.com]

True! I imagine it cost alot to do the post production and keep someone looking that young.

I wish though! It would be like seeing Eric Brady all over again.

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Or Alec! *flails*

[tj-smartz.livejournal.com]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOH yes! Dude, I miss young!jensen....

I think I'm going to have to find me some links to dl Dark Angel....
