Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston (news) announced Friday that they were calling it quits after nearly five years of marriage. "We have decided to formally separate," they said in a joint statement.


"This decision is the result of much thoughtful consideration. We happily remain committed and caring friends with great love and admiration for one another. We ask in advance for your kindness and sensitivity in the coming months."


The couple's every move in recent months has been breathlessly tracked in painstaking detail in the glossies. Us Weekly, Star and InTouch devoted gallons of ink to chronicling the actors' ups and downs. First Pitt was linked to his Mr. and Mrs. Smith costar Angelina Jolie. Then Aniston was spotted sans wedding ring. He told Diane Sawyer how much he wanted kids, supposedly while she was partying it up London (and this after he jet-setted to shoot Troy, Ocean's Twelve and Mr. and Mrs. Smith). Then they were back together, celebrating New Year's in the Caribbean with Aniston's former Friend Courteney Cox (news) and hubby David Arquette (news). British oddsmakers even began taking bets on whether the couple would last through the end of the year (by Monday, the line was 2-to-1 in favor of divorce). People was the first out with the break-up news late Friday (undoubtedly ruining the weekend plans of rival reporters).


"For those who follow these sorts of things, we would like to explain that our separation is not the result of any of the speculation reported by the tabloid media," they said in their Friday statement.


There was no further comment from either actor's reps.


Pitt, 41, and Aniston, 35, first hooked up in the spring of 1998 and instantly became one of Tinseltown's premiere power couples. They married two years later in a lavish, star-studded ceremony in Malibu attended by 200 of their closest pals, including Cox, Arquette, Lisa Kudrow, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer, Cameron Diaz (news), Edward Norton and Salma Hayek (news).


It was the first marriage for both. Pitt had one been engaged to Gwyneth Paltrow and before that had shacked up with Juliette Lewis. Aniston previously played house with actor Tate Donovan and had also spent time flocking with head Counting Crow, Adam Duritz.


Endlessly dogged by paparazzi and the tabs, the couple was never far from a headline. Aniston's waistline and eating habits were analyzed ad nauseum for clues to whether she was pregnant during the final seasons of Friends. She finally confided to People in 2002 that they were planning on starting a family, when the time was right. "Absolutely it will happen but probably not for a while," she said. "Probably Friends will end, close that chapter, and see where we go."


But Aniston's post-Friends career took off and she has at least a half-dozen films in the pipeline, beginning with Rumor Has It, a comedy due out April 15 in which she plays a woman who discovers her family was the inspiration for The Graduate. Her other projects include Derailed, a thriller about two people whose lives take a turn after a chance encounter on a train, due later this year; Diary, a film about a married woman who gets blackmailed after she loses her secrets-filled diary; Friends with Money, about three married women and their single friend; the heist tale Gambit with Ben Kingsley; and an untitled dark comedy about a politician's wife unwittingly reunited with a child she put up for adoptions years earlier.


Pitt, on the other hand, has some down time after a busy year in 2004. (Mr. and Mrs. Smith, one of three high-profile films he shot last year, comes out in June.)


While the baby-making was unsuccessful, the couple did make good on another joint project. They formed the production company Plan B with their manager, Brad Grey. With Aniston and Pitt splitting and Grey giving up his stake to take over Paramount Pictures, it's not known what will become of Plan B. The company's next major release is the Johnny Depp (news)-starring Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, due out this summer.






Brad pitt is one of the greatest actors alive today, he is so underrated cause people are prejudice and cant look past his looks to give him the credit he deserves

but his movies are excellent

Oh wow, there's still a chance for me with Brad!  :P :drool:

Otherwise, I don't care much - it's hollywood and expected.  :-\

Perfection doesn't exist.

Just goes to show that they looked too perfect to be " true". Perfect is fishy. Life is complicated, people are, egos are.

It's not Hollywood, it's consumeerism and what's left of us.

PS : Any man filming with angelina Jolie becomes vulnerable. If she became a producer, a lot of male actors would be...."fragile" .

Personally I think the reason is he wants kids and she doesn't.

Anyway, I always thought Pitt was freakin' nuts marrying her.  I mean from a guy's point of view, if your Brad Pitt, you could do a hell of a lot better than Jennifer Aniston.

YES!!! Finally a man who can see beyond someone's looks! Brad Pitt is an amazing actor, and all the caracters he's played and the movies he's played in are great and original.

I'm just surprised it lasted as long as it did :-\

Brad Pitt is indeed an actor. Tyler Durden must be the coolest movie character ever

Jennifer Aniston is just Rachel...but I don't care, because I love Jennifer ;D

I'll have to agree with some of the above posts.

While most of people's attention is directed towards Pitt because of his looks, the guy is a good actor.? Quite underrated.

Obviously the character of Tyler Durden was a badass.

Another of Pitt's best characters is playing a pot-smoking couch potato named Floyd in the film True Romance.? Quentin Tarantino wrote the screenplay and Pitt has a classic line in it..."Don't condescend me man."? ?:hihi:

I agree. Rob Lowe was the heart throb of the 80's, but you'd be hard pressed to call him a great actor.

Brad Pitt is both: damn good looking and a talented actor.

*****

Back on topic, D, now you have your chance...Brad is single.... :hihi: You can give up the "straight act" now, we all know.  :P

im comfortable enough in my sexuality to say this

brad pitt is a hot motherfucker! : ok:


i watched Troy again last night and he has  a scene where he is naked with two women but i didnt even notice the women.

he is a great actor brad pitt and johnny depp are the only two actors that i will go watch a movie just cause they are in it.  all their movies are class and they both make bad movies good, good movies great, great movies classic

he is my 2nd fav actor behind depp

jennifer aniston is so ugly.
and brad pitt plays in good movies ... what does that tell us? well that he plays in good movies ... good movies make good actors.

I watched Troy lastnight too.   I didn't notice the girls in that scene either.  :P ;D

My husband didn't either.  When the scene was over he said "hey, were there 2 girls there?  Do you mind if I rewind that?"  Hell no!  :hihi:

Not to hijack (but I will-lol) I've heard that movie sucks!

Is this true?

are u talkin about Troy?

dude thats probably the greatest movie of 2004 in my opinion

i hate long ass epic shit like that normally im not into the bravehearts,king arthurs,gladiator i havent even watched the lord of the rings

but troy is so fuckin amazing!

a buddy and me drove an hour and a half just to watch it at the cinema and i loved it just as much when i rented

im definitely gonna buy it very soon.

rent it, trust me u wont regret it

if u rent it and dont like it
give me your address and ill send u your money back

its that good trust me!

Wow D, you are really puttin' yourself out here. Everybody I have talked to said it sucked major ass.

So if it's awesome, then you may be the coolest guy in the world. But if it sucks like everybody says.....I dunno man.... :nervous:

it lasts 2 hours and 35 minutes and it feels like 1 hour

my mom goes to bed around 9pm everynight
she started watchin it with me at 8 and my mom is notorious for falling asleep in the middle of movies and tv shows

she set up the entire time and loved it.

u gotta judge by who said it sucked and what kind of movies they are into.

if u like greek mythology and just kick ass fighting and excellent dialogue and acting, u will love this movie.


people who like mindless comedies and action special effects films may not dig this.

if u like getting wrapped up into characters and being took for a ride, this movie is for u.

if u are one of those people who cant pay attention and sit still and talk and do 5 other things while trying to watch a movie, u wont like it.

it takes total attention and concentration.

but i promise u will want to watch it again after u finish it.

im telling u!

its probably one of my top 5 all time movies


if u hate brad pitt however dont attempt to watch it.

D you're crazy :)

haha, yea that may be the best D quote ever:

if u hate brad pitt however dont attempt to watch it.

Like a warning on a medicine bottle: "Don't take on an empty stomach and if u hate brad pitt however dont attempt to watch this movie."

Fuckin' great!!! I love it!

 :hihi:

D's right, Troy is amazing!   It's not your classic Pearl Harbour-style summer big-budget movie, it has a great story and all the caracters are well played, not only Achiles (Brad Pitt's)

I've read nothing but bad things about it.

I may attempt a viewing now.

But if it still sucks who is going to give me the 2.25 hrs of my life back?

 :hihi:

If you're ever in Romania I'll take you out to dinner. :)

I think he is fucking selfish for demanding that she have his kids.
Good thing she's sticking with her career - he's got HIS, and he didn't give it up for HER, but he wants HER to give HERS up for him.
Whatever.

Go Jennifer!

I think first of all we really dont know if the real reason for the break up its that he wants kids and she doesnt. They also say he fucked it up by having a quicky with Angelina Jolie, that's what media reported.

If it was about the baby stuff, well whats the major problem?, i wouldn't brake up my marriage (if i really loved my husband cos of that), i'd have tried and had my baby, i mean MINE too cos its not jus HIS baby, that would only take her like a year or so, she is already a major star and wont lose her career for that reason.

He didnt gave up on his career cos of her cos he already HAD his career the big way, he didnt have to build it, he was smart enough to wait to get married once he had that successful career and come on Jennifer your bioligical clock its tickling too ::)

I think I've heard (or read) it all now.? ?::)

How in the hell is Pitt being selfish?? It's not like he can have the kids.

The guy waited forever for her to "be ready."? They reportedly even had a deal that they would start a family after that shitty sit-com of her's ended.?

And now that "Friends" is over, Jennifer doesn't really have a career.  Besides, he's always been the more successful one. 

Separately, or together, they are both wealthy enough to be set for life.? Jennifer is the one being selfish.? Seems her career was more important than her marriage.?

Happens a lot these days when the wife doesn't know her place...? :P

ok now I think I've heard or read it all ::)

Fair enough.

 :hihi: :beer:

whatever the fuck.

He's had his career, it's time for her to have hers.

Huh?  Time for "her career?"  ???

Jennifer Aniston, herself, has always been a mediocre box-office draw.

Friends was her peak.

Seriously, besides popping out Brad's babies, what the fuck else was she gonna do?

You need to quit sending me those love letters via PM, Sweet, or I'm gonna have to report you to the mods.  :yes:

 :rofl:
its so funny you guys mention this cuz when i was watching it with my hubby - at that part - I actually made a comment about how much Pitt owns the camera to be able to steal a scene from two women
i mean in general - one man and one woman in bed - the focus is always on the woman / it is the woman the camera seeks to undress for the viewer... with Pitt - its a whole different game

not to make this a "how fuckin' hot Brad Pitt is" thread.... BUT the man is just a beautiful specimen and a really YES A REALLY great actor...
he just OWNS the camera - while he is on screen - its HIS SCENE

getting back on the 'side topic' - I really enjoyed Troy
Eric Bana was awesome as Hector
and Peter O'Toole ....? I cried in his scene in the tent with Pitt....? ?he was great
the only thing that I didn't like about the movie was I wanted to slap Bloom/Paris...? ?

and oh... finally back ON topic...

I was saddened to hear of their split
At their age and this stage of their lives - who doesn't deserve to be happy?

I really hope Brad finds what he is looking for eventually - whether it be with her or with someone else.
as for Jennifer - she'll always be "Rachel" from Friends - TV does that to your career.
I can't understand IF her pursuing a career took priority over their marrige - I can't understand that...
If she doesn't want children its better they didn't go ahead and have any
though I hope one day if its something Brad is yearning for that he gets it...
because its a beautiful thing? :yes:

that angelina jolie rumor isnt true. they became friends after they shot that movie together but that was as far as it went and i believe that. Brad seemed genuine in his love and marriage with her.

he is 41 years old and i guess he wanted a kid, nothing wrong with that in my opinion and careers cause strain

when u go months without getting to spend quality time together any relationship would start to fracture.



i agree eva orlando bloom's character was pathetic and i cant spoil it for those who havent watched Troy but the ending pisses me off a little but its based on a true story so i guess thats what was suppose to have really happened.


u wont waste 2 hrs and 35 minutes of your life, this movie will make u want to start it back and watch it again.

i borrowed it off my brother tonight and im gonna watch it again tomorrow. its that great!

brad pitt is NOT a good actor. every actor is just the same (maybe some expetion, and i'd say comedian, funy physicial actor are the exeption)

we like brad pitt cause he's been in "cool" movies and "cool" characters.
we like tyler durden, thats it. tyler durden is a great character, therefore we think brad pitt is great actor.
but no.

watch 12 monkeys, then Fight Club : same acting for pitt.
and worst, watch ocean 11/12, you think you're watching Tyler Durden.

anyway.
lets forget about great actors, bad actors, they are all good at what they do. there are just good movies, and bad movies.

i dont agree dude

look at Johnny Depp

i challenge u to find two people that are the same character that he has played

i think all of his roles are different

look at pirates of the carribean

u would have to say without Johnny in that movie and his betrayal of Jack Sparrow, that movie wouldve bombed.

Once upon a time in mexico the same way, the scenes johnny are in the movie is awesome

when he isnt in it, the movie lags

I know i love Johnny's quirky off beat movies

any other actor in there besides him and i dont probably never watch those  movies.

there is a huge difference.

now in big budget, special effect action flicks i agree the actor really isnt that important

Brad Pitt made Tyler Durden cool

if lets say Charlie Sheen played TYler Durden in that movie

i cant say It wouldve been as good or Tyler wouldve been as cool

well I certainly don't think all actors are 'equal'
The fact that we related to and get so into Brad Pitt's characters is IMO an indication of what a great actor he is
Legend of the Falls... Meet Joe Black...
and Interview with a Vampire  : ok:
he STOLE this movie from its supposed 'star' Tom Cruise
he plays coolness very well yes... but also incredibly depits vunerability

its not all about him being 'cool'...
in the movies as in life
as his life's/marrige's events recently have shown
people look at him and figure he's got to 'have it all'
thing is
he doesn't

not yet

best wishes to Brad for finding happiness  :peace:

Angelina has fucked all of her co-stars, and married two of them.

I'm amazed that caveman mentality still lives in 2005...gotta laugh!
Marriage is a two way street....I thought when you have a kid, EVERYTHING CHANGES....someone with kids help me out here...They should try getting a puppy first...
Not all women have a maternal desire to populate the planet-I know I don't, never did...and if they can't work out a compromise about populating the planet, maybe it's better that they split....
Still say the puppy idea is the way to go... : ok:

oh come on ! johnny depp ?
watch desperados 2 ... and las vegas parano (i mean fear and laothing in vegas) ... come on ... he does the same crazy-chararcter-inshort-with and wierd toursity teeshirt - that is always on the cellphone - and walks funny - like he doesnt know where he is .... im exagerating
but even in Caribeean he plays a crazy guy ... just get him a blue FBI tshirt and thats vegas :)
im exagerating ....

but i still think that a LOOOOT of actors are good enough, the same i think. some plays great character and it changes everything
and it's not thx too them (maybe 10 %) but thx to the storyline and the way the character is.
if dustin hoffman played Tyler durden i'm sure we'd think he was perfect in it .
(wow ! D ! i didnt read your answer, i just did, and well, we did the same compeason .... opposite actually)

just take mark hammil, terrible actor, but for our generation HE IS Luke Skywalker, and no matter how crappy he is, he RULES.

well well anyway.
i've always been more on the side of the writers/directors/artistic director    than    the actors one ....

no way you are too hot :-* :love:

now dont get me wrong, i agree that a good movie is a good movie and the script,plot etc etc etc means a helluva lot.

Johnny Depp made Jack Sparrow, the movie execs wanted him to have a hook on his arm no facial hair and to just act normal

johnny brought in the dreadlocks, the body language, the gold teeth. the facial hair just everything. thats what seperates Depp, he works hard to give each character he plays different idiosyncracies to make them unique. Like in Secret window with the jaw poppin thing, he did that, it wasnt wrote in the script, no one told him too, he makes his own characters unique and thats special and different.

Star Wars falls in the category of what i said earlier however in the same vein as spiderman,batman

the characters and the spectacle sells the movie, there are a bunch of movies that u could put anyone in the roles and it still works cause its just a great movie.

i dont think i wouldve liked spiderman any less if tobey macguire wasnt in it and movies like that u can put anyone in the cast and the movie is still great

but some movies i think wouldnt be the same

like pulp fiction

i cant imagine anyone else being vincent vega or Jules

same with Fight Club, Brad Pitt made Tyler Durden and not the other way around


look at Terminator 3 for instance which was ok but let me tell u this, had Edward Furlong came back and played Danny i wouldve bought it on dvd, since he didnt i watched it a few times and thats that.

So some movies it doesnt matter but in others the actor in it means all the difference.

there are 10 movies had Johnny Depp not appeared i never wouldve watched them

same with Troy, if Brad Pitt wasnt achilles i wouldnt have bothered.

say what ?

So...

You haven't seen the film then?

Paris? Helen? Played well?!

Oh, and you should have been bothered if Brad Pitt hadn't have played Achilles. He helped take that film up another level.

Is this thread about nominations to best actor, about how attractive Pitt could be, about films or about some phony couple splitting up ?

PS : Orlando Bloom has ditched his girlfriend  ;D ;)

well i wanted this thread to be "the brad pitt" thread

so i started it with the split and figured it would evolve into an entire thread about him. i didnt wanna start two seperate threads.




Orlando Bloom's character was such a little bitch in that movie which made the ending very disgusting

SPOILER DO NOT READ IF U HAVENT SEEN THE MOVIE






























he shouldve been killed earlier but bitched out and ran to hector so it really pissed me off that such a little weak fuck like Paris could end up being the one that killed the greatest warrior who ever lived.

just didnt sit well with me.

OK... OK... I'm all about women having an equal place and everything.  I don't accept this "wives should know thier place" bullshit. 

On the other hand, did Jennifer NOT know that Brad wanted children?  Was this not a discussion that was approached before marriage?

If Jennifer doesn't want to have Brad's children, I'd be happy to.   :D



I'm glad my hubby doesn't read this board.

Bottom line -

Brad Pitt is a good actor.  Not a great actor.  Still very underrated though.

Troy was a great film, though perhaps not quite as well done as Braveheart or Gladiator.

Unlike D or SLCPUNK, you will never find The Dude describing Brad Pitt as "sexy."  Guess I'm not as "comfortable with my sexuality" or whatever.

That said, if I had to bet on who most women would pick between Gilbert Godfried and Brad Pitt, my money would be on the latter...

Personally, i hate the looks of Brad Pitt. I much prefer orlando Bloom, or Jude Law, or or or, but NOT Pitt. He hasn't got grace.

yeah but u wouldnt kick him outta bed! :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi:

Hmm, 'Spoiler Warning'.



Well, it was bad enough that they killed Mezentius and Agamemnon. (There's even a play about his return from Troy! And he died there?!)
Having someone other than Paris kill Achilles would have strayed even further from the source material and would have made readers of Homer eat their own faces.

Try me !

Of course i would, he isn't to my taste and that's my last word  ;D :hihi: :hihi:

Actually, i wouldn't kick him out of bed since i WOULD NOT LET HIM ANYWHERE NEAR IT. ;D

His face is gross. He has got fatty hands. He is not thin enough. His lips are too full. Too tanned.

Good actor, i agree, but he is gross.

Jess, sometimes you're funny as hell  ;D I let you Orlando and I'm taking Brad in !  ;) ;D :rofl:

Bows bows...thank you rain  ;)

Orlando ? thanks again. ( kidnaps orlie for naughties)...keep your brad Rain, best wishes.... ;D

Not without a fight!  :P  I first posted that he's mine in this thread.  ;D

I may be willing to share, though.  ;)

jennifer is single then :love:


your posts lady...

dunno what she did besides friends, is she rachel or a actress?
b cool see some movies...

Paris was played well, he was meant to be a fuckin gutless annoying retard. As for Helen, she was OK, but I wouldn't start a war over her.


But you got me, it's true that I wouldn't be very much into this movie if it wasn't for Brad Pitt. But that's why he gets tens of millions of dolars, his brilliance sells movies

Yeah, what about them?  Is there a problem when a female says what's on most guy's minds?

Jessica surprised me and so did the guys saying that Jennifer isn't hot, but we're all different so it just goes to show... ;D

Jennifer is so hot imo, wow, funny character too :yes:

dunno, is it? i'm 21 so still wet behind the ears, do guys your age think that way?

I'm glad it's finally over. Media needs to stop this hollywood bullshit : ok:

I agree.  The complete shift from the actual events of the story let me down.  I thought it ruined the movie. 

I also got a little tired of Pitt's jump move after the 20th time.

Hmm, I can't think why most [females] rejoice when celebrity couples split up. Cynicism or jealousy ... it's your call.

my my arnt we a bunch of lttle gossip queens :-X

Too bad abt the split. Man, they would've had the most gorgeous babies... :hihi:

check out that awesome site...the money raised is for a good cause, and the shirts a pretty damn awesome.

i have one and i sleep in it all the time, its too comfy  and then my 5 or 6 of my friends got them and people are always like blah blah lbahhh.


thanks
-chels

celebrety marriges never work out.
why am i not surprised?

who gives a flyin' fuck.

Hows Tom Cruise's go, man all these hollywood couples are full of shit, its all about there image and career, nothin' to do with whats real.     

Brad Pitt hasnt done anything cool since Cutting Class : ok:

fuck him

Fuck him? That's a bit rough isn't it.

Just a side note, Angelina Jolie is HOT!

Some do..

But usually, the elder generation's.

In fact, normal marriages don't last longer than 3 to 5 years nowadays. Hollywood is just symptomatic of today. Of course, their jobs and egos don't help. Their timetables and ambitions don't help. Their neuroses and entourages don't help.

So much offer too, they just have to bend down to get sex and anything they want.

That doesn'tencourage people to work at their problems when they have some.

They just cite " irreconciliable differences" and move on.

Sad.

Brad sucks as a person. I know we are not supposed to interfere in others people's life but they are so famous that even if you don't watch TV or read the newspaper you hear it from your friends. What this guy did to that girl, if it's true also, it's just not right.
Dreadfully its not my life and we shouldnt care about their lifes but this kinda situation suck for anyone in the world even if your are rich and famous that if you are just a poor guy

Who brought this crap topic back up?

Shoot them.

 :rofl:

Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston split up?

Oh Noooooooooooooo! What are we going to do now?

Actually Jennifer Aniston is one of the cutest actors and deserves a better man from that hunk.
