This is great. People have such warped ideas of guns from Hollywood mythmaking - though a lot of video games don't help either.

I've seen guys come into the range, fire a 9mm for a bit, then brag about how much better the Desert Eagle is. Then a range officer pulls one out and they realize that it's hard for them to hold it steady, let alone fire accurately. A .50 pistol sounds impressive only until you realize that you only have 7+1 rounds, you can't aim for shit, and the recoil is a bitch. As my favorite range officer put it: "Angelina Jolie [a la Tomb Raider] would have trouble carrying one in each hand, but somehow she is firing two on the run?"

Some movies are getting better, more accurately depicting the proper usage of a gun and actually showing reloads, but even my girlfriend starts laughing at some of the more blatant mistakes in action movies (The Green Hornet has some whoppers).

I understand her point but this *is* Hollywood we're talking about. Comfortable, conservative, racist, sexist Hollywood.

And choose better examples to make your point - Shawshank Redemption? Really?

Anyway just off the top of my head I thought of a few films that passed (or I assume they do as I haven't seen them all - correction, I've not seen Charlie's Angels but have seen the rest)

Charlie's Angels
Ghostworld
Kill Bill 1 & 2
Monster (the one about Aileen Wuornos)
Thelma and Louise

So in the context I've described maybe things aren't as bad as you might be led to believe. I'd also imagine that some of her other examples (think I saw Jolie there as Lara Croft) would be seen as models of empowerment despite lacking dialogue with another woman.

We don't. But I prefer that Hackers did it. Hackers like Angelina Jolie.>> ^ant:

How do we know it is not an inside job?

Ahh she pulled an Angelina Jolie..... Or the other way around.

^ Hear, hear nanrod. CYA is the celebrities best defense. Someone should give Angelina Jolie a few lessons on saying too much while saying nothing at all!!

And yeah, Gibson looked like pickled, hammered, dog shit who had slept out of doors, in his clothes.

i cant imagine johnny depp in it.
eventhough it is dark and funny.
hes just not brooding enough to play a demon.
and hes not light enough to play an angel.
and hes too old to play the antichrist.
and its not like he could have a minor role.

i just had a flash of angelina jolie being cast as war. not that i hate her on principle or anything, id just rather see someone a little purer.

why the hell am i casting a movie, which i doubt hollywood even has any intention of making right now, in my head?

thanks for getting me off on a pointless tangent @budzos

/me sleep

she sounds similar to jolie holland

>> ^EndAll: someone needs to tell him he's fucking Brad Pitt

I thought that was Angelina Jolie?

Screw this mayor talk. If that's his platform, I'd vote him in for President! And I thought my bromance with Obama was strong. Pitt/Jolie 2012!

The Times-Picayune, July, 4, 2009
The article says Brad Pitt has not lived in New Orleans long enough to be eligible:

"Under the City Charter, mayoral candidates must be residents of New Orleans for at least five years before the date of the election. That rule dashed the apparent hopes of former local FBI chief Jim Bernazzani, who suggested last year that he might seek the office, only to learn he hadn't lived here long enough.

Pitt and his partner, actress Angelina Jolie, bought their $3.5 million French Quarter mansion in January 2007, far shy of five years before the Feb. 6, 2010, primary.

In fact, it does not appear that Pitt and Jolie are even registered to vote in New Orleans."

Cute video. I've always loved the song.

I guess I'm gonna have to break down and watch the movie...at least I know it won't be a total loss. Jolie's quite possibly the sexiest woman I've seen, especially in films, where they hide all that superfluous ink. I think I can get something out of watching her for a couple hours or so.

She definitely has the 'im so hot, everyone wants me vibe.' Which is a serious turn off to me. I like actresses to have some skill with their hotness, and don't come off as little highschool popularity seekers. Her main goal in Hollywood seems to be to further objectify herself and ride it all that way. She doesn't have the acting chops that Angelina Jolie had at her age, so I guess she is being a keen business thinker in the 'best way to make money out of this' kind of way. I find she veers too close to porn star for my taste. Sure it's 'hot' kinda, but comes with as dose of stupid.

I find her mostly hype. Her career will probably be short lived. Maybe as long as Jessica Alba's which is now coming to an end.

Approche-toi petit, écoute-moi gamin,
Je vais te raconter l'histoire de l'être humain
Au début y avait rien au début c'était bien
La nature avançait y avait pas de chemin
Puis l'homme a débarqué avec ses gros souliers
Des coups d'pieds dans la gueule pour se faire respecter
Des routes à sens unique il s'est mis à tracer
Les flèches dans la plaine se sont multipliées
Et tous les éléments se sont vus maîtrisés
En 2 temps 3 mouvements l'histoire était pliée
C'est pas demain la veille qu'on fera marche arrière
On a même commencé à polluer le désert

Il faut que tu respires, et ça c'est rien de le dire
Tu vas pas mourir de rire, et c'est pas rien de le dire

D'ici quelques années on aura bouffé la feuille
Et tes petits-enfants ils n'auront plus qu'un oeil
En plein milieu du front ils te demanderont
Pourquoi toi t'en as 2 tu passeras pour un con
Ils te diront comment t'as pu laisser faire ça
T'auras beau te défendre leur expliquer tout bas
C'est pas ma faute à moi, c'est la faute aux anciens
Mais y aura plus personne pour te laver les mains
Tu leur raconteras l'époque où tu pouvais
Manger des fruits dans l'herbe allongé dans les prés
Y avait des animaux partout dans la forêt,
Au début du printemps, les oiseaux revenaient

Il faut que tu respires, et ça c'est rien de le dire
Tu vas pas mourir de rire, et c'est pas rien de le dire
Il faut que tu respires, c'est demain que tout empire
Tu vas pas mourir de rire, et c'est pas rien de le dire

Le pire dans cette histoire c'est qu'on est des esclaves
Quelque part assassin, ici bien incapable
De regarder les arbres sans se sentir coupable
A moitié défroqués, 100 pour cent misérables
Alors voilà petit, l'histoire de l'être humain
C'est pas joli joli, et j'connais pas la fin
T'es pas né dans un chou mais plutôt dans un trou
Qu'on remplit tous les jours comme une fosse à purin

My prediction is that eventually white people, latinos, and black people will look like Angelina Jolie, Jessica Alba, and Halle Berry due to reprogenetics and easy stem cell-driven cosmetic medicine, and perspectives that frame things in terms of ethnicity will decline more dramatically.
