Don't Get It

I don't get Angelina Jolie. She is undoubtedly beautiful, and she seems genuinely concerned about global issues. But she is not a talented actress. And please don't remind me of the Oscar, because Kevin Costner has two.

I don't mind her. She isn't Denise Richards or anything, but I can think of five women off the top of my head who can act circles around her. Frances McDormand, Angela Bassett, Cate Blanchett, Patricia Clarkson and Michelle Yeoh.

Oh, and I don't get Brad Pitt either. Not hot. Not talented. Pretty, charming and nice. And intent on having the most spectacularly gorgeous family ever to walk the earth.

Still, I don't get them.

The girl has sex appeal just standing there. Universal appeal as far as I can tell. They don't have awards for you're so God Damned Hot I can barely control myself. So she got an Oscar.

Okay, maybe not. It's as plausible a theory as any.

At least they haven't made an album....yet.

I respect what she does. But as a person, I think she's a spectacular failure. She claims that she did not sleep with Brad whilst he was married, because her father cheated on her mother all the time.

I bet Laura Dern would like to hear that after Angelina stole her fiance. Hrm.
