Fox News’ Pop Tarts talked to Brad Pitt at the premiere of Inglourious Basterds, and they’ve just got around to writing up his comments now. Brad doesn’t really come across as some brilliant artist as he pontificates on the joys of “kicking ass”. He also claims that after this role, he walks with “a little more swagger”. Brad jokes about the paparazzi, but the sarcasm is sort of lost and I took him seriously for a second when he started in about how the paparazzi are “kind, generous” people. Pop Tarts also got Diane Kruger and Quentin Tarantino to talk about the history of that WWII period, and whether present-day Germany still feels it:
Brad Pitt may have turned into a humanitarian hottie since hooking up with Angelina Jolie, however the star of Quentin Tarantino’s WWII flick “Inglourious Basterds” still gets a kick of it kicking others. Literally.
“I just like kicking ass, period. Didn’t have to be Nazi, I can beat any ass. Any ass I like kicking. I just kick it,” Pitt enthused at last week’s Hollywood premiere, adding that since playing an American commando out to demoralize the Nazi regime he has become “a little tougher” and now walks with “a little more swagger”.
But oddly enough, the pesky paps actually aren’t on Pitt’s hit list.
“Paparazzi are my friends, they take good care of me,” he said with a smile. “They are really kind and generous and thoughtful people who make the world a better place.”
On a somewhat more serious note, Pitt’s German-raised co-star Diane Kruger said that educational procedures have been put in place to avoid any more Hitleresque dynasties from coming to fruition, although she feels no guilt over the historic tragedy.
“Every kid has to go to a concentration camp and it’s definitely part of making sure it never happens again,” Kruger said. “It’s been 60 years, so my generation or younger, we really don’t have any reference or any guilt feelings in that sense to our ancestors. It’s funny because it’s come up so much, how is Germany going to react? But the truth is, we don’t like to hang on to dear old Adolf any more than the rest of the world and if anything, we would have liked to kill him ourselves.”
In fact, Tarantino said that so far it’s the Germans who have given the flick the warmest reception.
“They already love the piece because we made it there. With the possible exception of Jews, if there’s anybody that’s had fantasies of bringing down the 3rd Reich, it’s the last few generations of Germans that have had to live under this shadow,” Tarantino told Tarts. “A lot of the German actors in my movie, this isn’t the first time they’ve put on Nazi uniforms, it’s just this thing that hovers over them culturally. They’ve thought about it a lot so when they read the script and when they see the movie, they’re like ‘hell yeah!’”

I found Diane’s comments the most interesting. There really aren’t that many German artists who have reached a certain level of success in America, so I think we Americans look at someone like Diane and think “If she says it’s okay, it’s probably okay.” And really, why would present-day Germany be upset with Tarantino and the film? He brought the film production to Germany, he hired a ton of German actors and extras, and he many Germans are probably happy with the added industry. There are still many questions about how Taratnino treated the era as far as historical accuracy – but I tend to think that Tarantino wasn’t really trying to make a historial film, only a bloody, kick-ass revenge film that happened to be set during WWII.

I am not sure whether CB did it on purpose but the body language in those two pictures of Brangelina is hilarious. She is acting too much, he is so over it. He seems to be wincing in the first picture. It is quite a while since we saw a comfortable picture of him. Since 2005.

First class Jackoff. He’s lucky to have that crazy bit??, they both deserve each other.

I think he’s given up even pretending he likes her. He seems more comfortable when she’s being the ice princess than when she is trying to cozy up to him. Good heavens. If I were her, these photos would mortify me.

Angie looks like she is clinging to Brad, and he is trying to pull away. Weird body language indeed. Brad is sexy as hell, love his casual suit.

But the real question is, can he kick his own ass?

I dunno. Think this is kind of weird. I think it’s definitely right to detest the Nazis and I can see why modern Germans do just like the rest of us. However, thinking ‘hell yea’ to a revenge fantasy that in all honestly represents killing their grandparents strikes me as odd.
After all, in all of the dictatorships, vile governments, and institutionalized injustices in the world usually the power and decisions are made my a select few. Hold governments and movements responsible, hell yes! Hold ordinary citizens responsible, that’s a gray area. In Germany’s cases since every German because a member of the Nazi party once Hilter took over, I really don’t teenagers drafted into war should be lumped in with the officers running concentration camps.
I say this because I sure as hell was against the war in Iraq but as a single US citizen I did not have the power to stop it from happening. Should I personally be held responsible?

Yea..he can kick ass in REEL LIFE, however I doubt BP could kick anyone’s ass in REAL LIFE. He’s nothing but a drunk/stoned/self absorbed ass.

Awww I adore this couple, so in love. They had their hands all over each other and he held her hand the entire night, body language points to love. Angelina was the hottest and sexiest woman there, Brad was very proud. So they post two pictures out of 800 from the same night, you can’t just tell from these two pics they don’t love each other!

He does seem to be pulling away or barely tolerating her. She seems to be overacting. In other pictures it looks like they can barely stand to touch each other. They both look haggard (high?) Pitt thinks he’s a deep thinker. Hilarious.

interesting…thought it was just me, and god forbid you mention body language around these parts or you get mauled…(plus, I don’t usually speculate on stuff like that)
but I did notice how he seems to be pulling away from her. Initially, it does look bad, but I could see how one person would have to lean back in order to see (and focus on) the person right in front of them.
to Bill Hicks…you may be onto something there…this is the HAPPIEST and touchy-feeliest that I’ve seen her act in a LONG time.
and to firestarter…I am laughing my ass off at that one.

It is amazing to me how people can look at a picture and see only what they want to see. Brad has said over and over he loves Angie but you poor JA losers can not give it up. Brad is happy with his family, but you continue believe the tabloid lies.

Yes, she is definitely overacting, and quite frankly her acting has never been good! I can’t stand watching her movies. He looks right pissed at her. They are sooo fake! And yes, he hasn’t looked casual and cool Brad Pitt-like since 2005. He looks like a stuffy arrogant p-rick! Plus the crap he has been saying to the media lately? I think he is starting to lose it big time!

He’s not pulling away. He is in his forties and can’t see anything close up without bifocals. He is pulling away so that he can see her without her face being all fuzzy. So many complicated answers for something that only requires simple logic.

Actually, I can’t stand brad but I’ve seen this set of pix. He leaned in to say something in her ear and then pulled back to look at her face. And talking about drugs… Tarantino says Brad got him high and drunk and the kids were in the same house. Angelina was in the hospital with her twins while brad was using drugs and drinking four bottled of wine. Tarantino said it on Howard stern show yesterday.

Oh Cheyenne,get over it already! Everything in this world doesn’t have to do with Brangelina and Jennifer Aniston. You’re totally incapable of making a post without bringing Aniston into it.
There’s people that can’t stand Brangelina that aren’t Aniston fans. I know that doesn’t fit into your warped little mindset, but it’s about time you experienced reality,

I think what you bring up is exactly what he IS saying. Even though intellectually everyone knows that today’s younger generations aren’t culpable, there about nineteen elephants in the room.
Obviously, age dictates that they had nothing to do with the atrocities, but are the ones experiencing the fallout.
They’re charged with cleaning up someone’s else mess and convincing the world that they are committed to honouring the victims. Work and education has been, and will continue in the service of ridding itself of that the traits that infect their legacy.

Good point on the needing the bifocals there. I hadn’t considered that. Gawd we are getting old.
Why is it whenever someone says something the least bit negative about Brangelina they become a Jenniphile? It’s amazing. Although I do admit, I like her. I think she got a raw deal, and I think Brad is sleeping in the bed he made with poor crazy Angelina. A classic case of should of looked before you leaped. That bored look of his? Maybe it’s resignation…

Hey Brad,
Maybe you may not want to read all your mail or responses, but all I really want to say is I beleive if you love someone whole heartedly your love will never end if you know you have trust, loyalty and companionship your life will be ok. But if you forget who you are and forget what you love sometimes life can be boring. My family is from Missouri around exactly where you are from and noone forgets the love, family, and loyalty anyone has for one another in our town. Being from Missouri and moving to a big city of Seattle has made me relize where my roots are. I miss fishing, fly fishing especially and every Sunday just being with family and being me. Please do not forget that in your life. It is very important to move forward in your life to remember who you are and most important who is important to you. Love those children as you do like there is no tomorrow, but please show them your roots that will bring some simplicity to there lives. Please trust me on this and I believe you know this to. Take care. Your Friend Cari Baughman
