I'm not even going to get into the debate on whether he cheated or he not. . . let's just say I believe HIM when he said he didn't cheat, I believe HER when she said they didn't cheat, I believe Cox (A close friend of Pitt and Aniston) when she said he didn't cheat but most of all. . . I believe ANISTON when she said he didn't cheat on her, sure he felt an attraction and he was honest with her about it. I believe ANISTON when she said their marriage was practically over and that the year before they announced their divorce, they had only spent 6 months together because they were on a trial separation. So I find it odd that someone who has no inside info on the happenings of the marriage, would choose to ignore what the people IN the marriage have said and decide to make himself Prosecutor, Judge and Jury.

Jeebus, so much for not getting into the debate. Oh well, what can you do, eh?

Oh yeah I'm a fan but I'd like to think I recognize GOOD work when I see it and apart from that, I'd also like to think ALL the Movie critics who praised her in the aforementioned movies know a thing or two about. . . you know movies and what good acting is but hey, that's just me.


You're being delusional. Aniston never said that, Cox never said so either. David Arquette (Cox’s Husband) even said on Howard Stern last month that Pitt messed up for cheating.
The only people who denied cheating where Jolie & Pitt, And what do you want them to say? Admit it?
But if you have to make up stories to support your argument, No probs

FYI the critics you’re talking about panned her performance in A Might Heart,it was also a commercial flop.
Jezz, I’m outta here.

Lmao. . . please don't go, aaah too late. Not surprised that you’d take off like that, I would too if I just made proclamations about things I know nothing about, yeah and if I just showed the world I had no sense of humor. How could you have missed the humor in Arquette's tone when he said that?! He was on Howard Stern for goodness sakes; the segment before he came on was probably on Adult Film stars and the size of the Breasts and Vaginas. . . Lmao! It's Howard Stern!!!! Jeebus, who woulda thunk in this day and age context still has to be explained. *shaking my head*

Critic panned her Performance, huh? Do you mean the Critics from the Golden Globes who nominated her for best Actress? Or maybe those from The Independent Spirit Awards who spat in her face for such awful acting by . . . err. . . nominating her for Best actress. Oh I know, it must have been the Screen Actors Guilds Critic who so disgusted by her acting, banned her from making movies by nominating her for best Actress. This little bit from Wikipedia. . . I cry every time I read it because they panned her performance so badly.

Oh the horror!!

Critical reception
The film received generally favorable reviews from critics. The review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reported that 77% of critics gave the film positive reviews, based on 175 reviews.[7] Metacritic reported the film had an average score of 74 out of 100, based on 38 reviews.[8] The film received very positive reviews from Roger Ebert and Larry King in reaction to Angelina Jolie's leading role. The film was described by Newsweek as "a movie without melodrama or movie-star lighting…allowing Jolie to deliver the most delicate, powerful and human-scale performance of her career."[b] Jolie’s performance was widely touted by top critics as her finest artistic achievement to date.[[/b]9]The film has been reviewed by, among others, Variety,[10] Rolling Stone,[11] Salon.com,[12] Hollywood Reporter,[3] and Entertainment Weekly.[13] Marc Mohan of The Oregonian named it the 10th best film of 2007.[14]


Ughhh! Why darn you TOP CRITICS! Why did you have to be so mean!! cry


Commercial failure you say? Okay, I give you that. I mean a movie has to make more than its production cost to be called a financial success. So since A Mighty Heart was made on a $17 million budget and it’s only made close to $50 million to date, that would mean. . . oh, oh wait look at that! $17 million, $50 Million. . . surely that is not *gasps* profit is it? Noooo! Many a producers have hung themselves because their movies failed by making only three times the amount they put it. cry


Finally and seriously, I can’t believe you made me do this, as if I don’t come off like a freaking obsessed fan already, now I’m gotta add this. Jeez!

This is an excerpt from an interview Aniston gave. Oh don’t worry, I’ll give you the link to so you can read and digest it.


As for what went wrong, Aniston rejects any simplistic explanation. "It's just complicated," she says. "Relationships are complicated, whether they're friendships or business relationships or parent relationships. I don't think anybody in a marriage gets to a point where they feel like 'We've got it!' You're two people continually evolving, and there will be times when those changes clash. There are all these levels of growth—and when you stop growing together, that's when the problems happen."

Friends say that it was always difficult for Aniston and Pitt to maintain the intimacy they craved while juggling their demanding work schedules, which often required long separations. Those tensions notwithstanding, Aniston believed her marriage was the real thing. "We both did," she says.


So what happened? "I think—it changed," she says haltingly. "We both changed."

She sighs again. "You do the best you can, and I think we did. We did the best we could."

Both of them? She looks me straight in the eye. "Both parties," she says.

But nagging questions remain about Pitt's conduct during the months leading up to their separation.

"She was committed to the marriage," says Bendewald. "He wanted to figure out who he was and what he wanted, but he seemed to want to do it without being married. She wanted him to figure out what he wanted and stay married. He didn't think he could do that, so at that point she was like, 'O.K., go figure it out.'"

Throughout that period, Pitt insisted that his relationship with Jolie was not the cause of his marital discontent, but his actions since the separation have suggested otherwise.

"I just don't know what happened," Aniston admits. "There's a lot I don't understand, a lot I don't know, and probably never will know, really. So I choose to take away with me as much integrity and dignity and respect for what that relationship was as I can. I feel as if I'm trying to scrounge around and pick up the pieces in the midst of this media circus."

Does she buy Brad's claim that he didn't cheat on her before they separated? "I choose to believe my husband," Aniston says. "At this point, I wouldn't be surprised by anything, but I would much rather choose to believe him."

Their friends are still trying to parse what happened with Jolie. "I don't think he started an affair physically, but I think he was attracted to her," says Courteney Cox, who vacationed with her husband, David Arquette, and the Pitts on Anguilla just before they announced their separation. "There was a connection, and he was honest about that with Jen. Most of the time, when people are attracted to other people, they don't tell. At least he was honest about it. It was an attraction that he fought for a period of time."

Alright,  this is gonna look like beating a dead horse but hey. . . it's my thread, I'll shoot and skin a freaking elephant if I want to.  tongue


@ Kadman
It just occured to me that you said David Arquette was on Howard Stern last month. Okay, seriously what planet are you from or maybe the better question is what is the timeline of the planet you are from? Here on Earth, Arquette's Interview took place in January. . . 2007, Two Thousand and Freaking Seven!!!

Gah! I am so angry at myself that I didn't notice it earlier. I promise you, If I had I wouldn't have written my last post. . . instead, I'd have replied with this -  ROTFLMAOPIMP (just in case you don't know that too, it is means Rolling On The Floor Laughing My Ass Off Peeing In My Pants).


Man! I can't believe I spent 25 mins replying a post using a flawed timeline to back its main point. What a Colossal waste of time.

No matter, this is life. . . you live and learn.

One piece of advice before I end this Yep, I'm generous like that . . . Google is Your Friend. Just sayin'
Re: WANTED - Share Your Thoughts If You've Seen The Movie. by Sisikill: 3:20pm On Jul 05, 2008
WANTED TRILOGY? A definite possibilty.

Just read on Mark Millar's Message board that TPTB at Universal want to start development on WANTED 2.

I'm not sure yet how I feel about this. I'd hate to see WANTED go The Matrix route.

Sometimes when i go to Eonline, am pissing in ma pants laffing at the comments of some posters. You'd think, they were best friends with Jen/Brad/Jolie. Insults and what not. rofl am glad am yet to reach anywhere near that stage.

LOL. . . I used to go Eonline but then I found the real Pyscholand - DLISTED. I tell you, I laugh so hard I think I'm gonna burst a gut, then I go home and take a shower. That dlisted guy is nasty, makes you feel dirty all over.

I know Mark Millar is excited about this trilogy thing. . . as he should be, I just hope they don't ruin it.
Re: WANTED - Share Your Thoughts If You've Seen The Movie. by iice(f): 6:28pm On Jul 07, 2008

Cant say I'm impressed, the comics are way better. But thats the way with films made from books/comics, they dont capture all the essence of the book. The only film that came close was the LOTR trilogy.
