Most days, I know the Jennifer Aniston fan-girls want to drive a stake through my heart. But I know I’m having a good day when the Brangelina fan-girls get all frothy and worked up over something I’ve said. I like Brangelina – but I’ve always been more of a fan of Angelina than Brad. Wherever Angelina goes from here, I’m interested. And should she and Brad ever break up… well, I’ll still be Team Jolie. I bring this up because I want Angelina to have a torrid affair with Michael Fassbender. Ten years ago, if they had met under different circumstances, I think it would have been ON. Even though he usually goes for the darker girls, I think he would have made an exception for her. Just sit for a minute and think about how hot Fassie and Angie would be together… excellent, right?
Fassie and Jolie do know each other, by the way. At least, they know each other in passing. Brad Pitt and Fassbender have already worked together once – on Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds. They had one scene together, but they promoted the film together in Cannes, and Angelina was there, so… “Angelina, this is Michael Fassbender. Fassie, this is La Jolie.” Their eyes met. Electricity. The handshake lingers. Angelina narrows her eyes as she calmly assesses her new prey. Michael takes in her figure, her lips all in one sweeping gaze. Finally, they release each other‘s hands. “Nice to meet you,” Angelina says. “Yes, yes, it is,” Michael says. Sigh…
Anyway, Angelina is going to have another opportunity to get close to the Fassdong! Brad Pitt has just signed on to Fassie’s new film, Twelve Years A Slave, directed by his Shame and Hunger director and friend Steve McQueen. Here’s more:
There is no greater arthouse bromance right now than the one between director Steve McQueen and actor Michael Fassbender. The duo first paired up on “Hunger,” which brought them both some considerable attention, and this year they are dominating the fall movie chatter with the NC-17 sex-addiction drama “Shame.” They’ve already lined up their next collaboration, “Twelve Years A Slave,” which also stars Chiwetel Ejiofor, and now one of the biggest actors in the world is lining up to join them.
Brad Pitt, who is producing the film via his Plan B shingle, and has been developing the project for years, is taking a role as well. It can be easy to confuse which films the actor is producing or starring in—or both—however, this news cropped up in a recent Screen Daily report about the project, and Plan B told us that the trade story was accurate, though they could not provide any further details.
Co-written by McQueen and John Ridley (”Bobby,” “Three Kings”), the movie is based on the 1853 autobiography written by Solomon Northup, a free black man who was tricked into slavery. Educated, married and living in New York, Northup was lured by a job offer in Washington only to be kidnapped and put in a slave pen, leading to years of enslavement under various owners. He finally earned back his freedom when a white Canadian carpenter who opposed slavery smuggled letters to Northup’s wife, which helped launch a court case that eventually set him free.

I adore Chiwetel Ejiofor too – and he has already worked with Angelina on Salt. So that’s her opening, right? She goes to set to “visit Brad” and tells him, “Oh, I just want to see if I can find Chewy” – sidenote: Chiwetel Ejiofor’s friends call him “Chewy” – and so Angelina wanders off to some dark corner, where she find Fassie waiting for her…
COME ON. You can’t tell me you wouldn’t love it.
But as always, it’s great to hear that Michael has signed on for yet another film, and this time working with Brad again. Fassie loves to work. He’s going to win an Oscar very, very soon.

I love Steve Mc Queen’s work and Brad’s plan B is really rolling these days.
I like the way Pitt has tremendosuly flexed his muscles and toughen his resume with all those meaty projects. He has really matured professionally wise.
I wish Depp who is intrinsically a great actor would take as much risks and gets more involved in producing and searching great writers to.o He seems so lazy these days, it’s a shame.
But back to the topic : this is like the dream team : great collaboration, amazing charismatic actors working together on a what seems to be a great project. I love all of them.
And should she and Brad ever break up… well, I’ll still be Team Jolie. I bring this up because I want Angelina to have a torrid affair with Michael Fassbender.
Uh oh…sounds like you’re asking voodoo dolls to be made in your likeness, my dear.
And while being fully aware that people will hate me for this: I agree. They’d make a hot couple.
I just don’t think The Fassbender would be a good parent.
MIchael was already cast, Pitt joined now. I think because he saw how successful Michael and Steve are.
Jolie prefers men who are already taken so Michael wouldn’t interest her and she aint his type, too pale.
I’m really trying to get The Fassie Love, but so far not so much. I’ve only seen two of his movies, Jane Eyre and X-Men, and he was good in them but not great. Suggestions on which movies I need to watch to get The Fassie Love? And yes, I do plan on seeing Shame.
@ Allie
What a stupid thing to say !
Pitt’s company has been developping this project for YEARS and is producing it…meaning, he is the one that has made it possible to put it out there and for Fassbender to be hired in it ultimately.
He already is the reason why the movie was made and doesn’t need to be in it. If he didn’t beleive in its success, he wouldn’t have bought the rights and pushed it, then produced it.
Being in it will just add more buzz for it. Nothing more, nothing else.
@ JulieM
He had a very small scene in Inglosrious Basterds and i loved him in it.
I also like it when he speaks german, which is after all his second language.
@JulieM: He spends most of “300” in a loincloth, so I’d suggest maybe starting there. 🙂 He was also very sexxy on a British show called “Hex.” And I’ve heard he is HOT in “A Dangerous Method” but haven’t sen yet.
His looks aren’t for everyone but I’m ok with that–more for me!
I’m one of the biggest Brangeloonies on the CB and I ain’t mad. They would make a hot couple LOL.
Kaiser aren’t you the one who always likes to think they have an open relationship? Who’s to say Angie hasn’t already hit that hard and made Brad watch he looks to be crushing on Fassy too by the looks of the first pic.
Julia: Fassbender got the part because that director always works with him and because he is an amazing actor. Pitt didn’t make Fassbender known in the film world but McQueen and now he wants to work with both because they have proven to be a hit. He is profitting from their talent.
Allie- FYI- Brad was on-board this project BEFORE Michael F & Steve M. He is the producer and he has been developing this project for years. Why did he decide to act in it now? Probably to make sure it can get good financing- as cool as MF & SM are, they don’t have box office clout like Pitt does. He did the same thing with Tree of Life. Of course, you make it a tab conspiracy and say Angie’s preggers so Brad added another role bc she won’t be able to work for a bit…I’ll stick to facts!
___
Julie M- cool stuff to see MF in? DEFINITELY see Inglourious Basterds if you haven’t already- he speaks German! Also, there is a BBC series from a few years back called Hex- he plays a hot, edgy angel- it’s kinda cheesy, but fun…Fish Tank is pretty good- others may have more for you- have fun!
@JulieM : You need to watch Fish Tank 🙂
Although I’m a fan of Fassie, I don’t think he’s Angie’s type. She likes more ‘mature’ man like Brad.
Angie is different from any other actresses, she’s very active in UNHCR. I can’t see Fassie supporting her in her humanitarian projects.
And I also agree with Eve, I don’t think Fassie would be a good parent.
Michael spends 20 min talking in German, with a special accent which in the end gives him away, in Inglorious Basterds.
Michael made a superhero character like Magneto interesting and not superficial, that’s why he stands out. If another actor took the role it would have been the usual Hollywood stuff.
Pitt brings the money to the project, Michael and Steve McQeen the credibility.
Kaiser, can they please also have a threesome (no Fassie-Pitt action though)? Please write it in.
@ Jackie.
I know. The fact is Plan B is the company that brought the rights to produce the movie. It made it a reality.
Without it Fassbender would have been in an other Mc Queen production, not this particuliar one that may have never seen the light if Pitt didn’t beleive in it and decided to push it with his finance and connections for years before it became a reality.
There he (Pitt)goes again wanting to ride on the coattails of better actors again…
Brad’s movie choices, as a producer and an actor are so interesting. There isn’t a movie he’s done in the last five or six years that I haven’t liked. I totally agree with Julia, I wish Johnny Depp could make equally interesting choices because he’s capable of so much more than the generic stuff he’s been churning out of late. As for Fassbender, I also don’t get the fuss about him. Oh well.
Pitt likes interesting roles, as evidenced by the fact that most of the films he has been in the past few years have been nominated for best picture, with two more possibles this year. He likes to work with great directors and McQueen is up and coming. If he gets a major hit, he could write his own ticket.
He was already producing this film before Fassbender came on board. He probably hired him in the first place. They met up when Brad was with Angelina to pick up that award in Sarejevo last summer. Pitt being in this film moved it from middle tier to top tier. His role will probably be small as Chiwetel is the star.
Dudette
I too can’t get on board the whole Fassbender train.I too find Pitt’s movie choices to be interesting and consistently enjoy his work.I too think Johnny Depp should take a page out of Brad’s book and stop with the Disney stuff.
Are you sure you’re not me?
Michael Fassbender= Irish mother, German father. Born in Heidelberg (Germany) and raised in Ireland. Enough said.
@#13: I agree with you.
@olivia He’s often considered the best part of his movies EVEN when there is a stellar cast involved. Burn After Reading is the perfect example. The movie got lukewarm reviews even with a cast loaded with talent but the breakout star of the film was Brad Pitt. It must really burn that Brad’s career is only getting better and he’s only getting more and more respect and more and more prestigious projects as he ages unlike many of his peers.
LOL@ Allie and Olivia. The things they say are just nuts
Sorry, but I just don’t get all the Fassbender love. I don’t even find him all that attractive. He’s not unattractive, but he doesn’t generate much humidity for me.
Angelina would never go for Fassbender. It’s too easy. There’s no conquest involved. Angelina Jolie is one of the few lucky women in this world who can have any man she wants – and she knows it. That’s why she’s mainly attracted to the men who are less available.
AZ: you are judging his potential parenting skills based on what?
Jolie 10 years ago was on heroin, but still is now considered uber-mother.
He lived with his ex-girlfriend who has a child and he said in past interviews how much he learned from the boy and how fulfilling it was to raise a child.
He also stated that he wants to get married and have children but it would be irresponsable to do it now since he’s focused on his career.
4) I don’t get it either. He’s an ok actor, but I’ve seen better.
mln76: Pitt wasn’t stellar in Inglorious Basterd or Troy. The other actors were all better.
@ Ingrid (# 24):
I don’t know about AZ, but I stated that based on The Fassbender hypothetically hooking up with The Jolie, therefore, having to be the father for her six children. I commented on Kaiser’s hypothetical situation regarding the immaginary hook-up between Jolie and Fassbender. Chill, please.
I don’t think that Fassbender is mature to date ‘real’ women nor to raise a child let alone 6 children. He dated a child not long ago : lisa Bonnet’s immature child.
So that speak a little more about Fassy’s level of maturity when it comes to women he is drawn to.
Jolie is too mature for him in that regard, she was already too mature at 25 with immatire BBT who couldn’t stand the idea of being a father to Maddox.
So I agree at this stage, i don’t think Fassbender is father material nor has the maturity to date a woman older than 25 years of age.
He is a great actor but personnally as a man I smell a Gerard Buttler vibe. The women he dates are lolittas, juvenile with nothing in the brains department.
Lea:I wonder who and what you watch. Fassbender has been praised from Gary Oldman to Tom Hardy, from Quentin Tarantino to the director and artist Steve McQueen.
@ quelle (YOU MAY WANT TO TAKE OUT YOUR EMAIL INFO!!!)I hated Troy but that movie was about 10 years old I am talking about his recent career within the last few years as for IB’s I like what Brad did with that role. It was a fun piece but yes Waltz steals the show. Just watch The Assassination of Jesse James or Moneyball Brad has gone on an opposite trajectory to most of his peers. Instead of selling out he’s done his best work.
Something about Johnny Depp tells me he can’t do it, or he has been in so many make believe type Disney roles that people can’t quite picture him as a regular guy, I am afraid even though I love Johnny Depp he is typed cast. He has a picture coming out with the subject of rum, let’s see what happens. I just love how Brad Pitt have taken control of his life since he met Angelina and have a family. In the last family picture I notice that Shiloh seem to look like Jane Pitt, and Knox have a strong resemblance to BP’s dad even to his serious facial expression, poor Angelina, she must be upset about that because they preferred Jennifer Aniston.
@ MLN- I agree that Brad has made some much better film choices the past few years.I also think there is one similarity that Michael and Brad have that so many male actors lack. They have great chemistry with their female costars. Call me crazy but Brad and Tilda’s romance was the best thing about TCCOBB. I also thought he and Blanchett were so heartbreakinly beautiful together in Babel. Michael is the same.
@ Bellydance LOL!! I knew you would show up soon.
How can you not love this guy?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxTft-XupAc&feature=feedu
Omg i couldnt stop laughing cos of your comments kaiser,tottaly made my day.and yea i am a brangelina loonie but fassie is nice.really nice
@sassenach: It wasn’t Tilda in Benjamin Button movie, it was Cate Blanchett 🙂
This film has the potential to be really interesting. As for Mr. Pitt and his great career choices, there was a great article in the Los Angeles Times comparing his choices to Clooney’s over the past 6 years and surprisingly enough, it was Pitt who came out on top and showed how he had stretched himself, got better reviews and did not just do movies for the “stupid money” to quote another actor. His reviews have been beyond stellar recently and even though Jesse James was not a hit, it was an extraordinary film and Pitt was great in it.
@AZ both Tilda and Blanchett were in Ben Button. Tilda was his first love, Cate was his great love.
@37 Yes, I am aware that Cate was in the movie but I thought the romance between Brad and Tilda in the movie was much sexier.
@sassenach I agree eventhough I always like Cate Blanchett I loved Tilda’s character & her relationship with Brad in that movie more.
I think it’s great that Brad will be in this film. It will introduce a whole new audience to the film magic of McQueen and Fassbender. Win win situation for everyone.
@shay kay – LOL! Suddenly, I’m not too sure… 🙂
this movie is gonna be awesome.
@olivia. Yeah, Brad is ‘coat-tailing’ them…. All the way to the bank, the hearts and Hollywood Royalty crown. He is such a NOBODY. (eye roll*) Dream on, girl!
LOL @ quelle. puh-lease…
LOL
Kaiser you should write fan-fiction.
Brad and Steve MQueen have been looking to work together for awhile now. They were batting around doing a movie version of The Hatfields and McCoys. That was written by Eric Roth, who is Pax’s Godfather. Poor Robert Duvall has basically gotten down on his hands and knees begging Brad to do it. They moved on from that and continued to look for movies to work on together.
The financing for Twelve Years a Slave didn’t fall into place, until Brad said he’d also take a roll in it.
Fassbender is an up and comer. But, he’s yet to prove he can put butts in the seats.
Sakyiwaa:isn’t it time to pray on your Brangelina altar?
Pitt is 12 years older than Jolie but no one is making a big deal out of it.
Fassbender’s two previous girlfriends were close to his age. One with the child is 5 years older than him and the other just 3 years younger. Zoe is 11 years younger so what?
Aw too bad Bellydancer’s comment got censored — best slogan of the day!!
And I agree with Flora, I definitely see this as a win-win situation for Pitt/Fass/cinephile fans. McQueen has great artistic vision, and both MF+BP sparred quite well in that one scene they shared in IB.
@JulieM … MF was great in JE and XM but he knocks it out of the park in both Hunger and Fish Tank, both smaller projects. If ppl wonder why he’s been likened to the “next Day-Lewis/O’Toole/whatever” by critics, he’s earnt it from Hunger alone imo. Here’s the much-talked about scene where his character Bobby Sands, a political prisoner, talks to a priest about the ramifications of his planned hunger strike. Cue to 4:45 onwards, it lasts 20 minutes and it’s riveting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tprMKFaTRPk.
Oh Brother: as if Pitt has made big box office. He is no Johnny Depp. I want to see his films make the money that Depp’s or Will Smith’s do and then talk to me.
I see his fans here confuse tabloid presence with money making. How much money has Tree of Life made?
Don’t say it had limited release, so did Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris.
Thanks to all for the movie recommendations. I’m going over to Netflix right now. I want to get the FassLove, I really do!
It doesn’t help that I’m not a big Pitt fan, although I thought he was terrific in Benjamin Button. I’ll try Ing Bastards first.
@Bac I see you confuse moneymaking films with prestige or success. Brad Pitt purposely isn’t doing the money grabbing films that Wil Smith and Johnny Depp are going for. BUT a movie like Tree of Life wouldn’t have made ANY money or had half of the media attention it garnered if it weren’t for Pitt. Don’t kid yourself that people are going to be watching Pirates 7 in 20 years. Johnny Depp will ultimately be remembered for his early work like Edward Scissorhands and What’s Eating Gilbert Grape. Just like Brad is going to be remembered for the work he’s doing right now.
I cannot believe I am actually typing this, but I’m kind of over the Fassdong. Maybe too much exposure to his lovely happy shark grin? Don’t get me wrong, he’s a good actor and a very handsome man, but my urge to hump him at least thrice a day is kind of gone.
Well, let’s see how things turn out in the Fassie love department once I have seen him spanking Kiera Knightley in “A Dangerous Method”.
@bac: Pitt’s movies have earned slightly less than Will Smith’s, $5.5 billion against $5.7 billion. Depp tops them both at $7.5 billion.
Depp, as someone observed above, seems to be stuck in some kind of Disney-ish rut, and Smith doesn’t seem to be doing much of anything lately.
I don’t understand how one can seriously compare a Disney blockbuster about a bumbling pirate (as much as I like Jack Sparrow) to a Malick movie, any of them. It’s a bit like comparing Twilight to a Thomas Pynchon novel, and I mean no disrespect, just that they have very different audiences. And honestly, Will Smith makes enjoyable movies (sometimes) but in the end that’s *all* they are and they matter as much as last year’s snow.
Kaiser’s Fass-Jolie encounter had me giggling for a good minute. (“Yes, yes, it is”)
Olivia, you amuse me to no end. Please, never change.
________
edit: @Ha789
I don’t think it’s about the age difference, I’d say it’s more about the fact that being with a woman like Jolie would require a very serious level of commitment and a sharply defined sense of purpose in life.
I do love Fass, and think he’s a truly awesome actor but I don’t see him and Jolie as a good match now, unless in bed.
For the record, I’d be willing to bet a pile of money that in 2-3 decades Pitt will have collected all serious acting awards, including the Oscar for the lifetime achievement. He’s unquestionably good in all he has been doing for the last 10 years or so, and – frankly – I believe he has for now proven himself a better, much more versatile actor than Angelina (whom I adore for a number of reasons, I just think her recent projects were below what her talent and looks could carry. I do have high hopes for Cleopatra, no other actress of Jolie’s generation lives up to a role like this)
I’m not gonna argue with those who think otherwise, cause there are commenters on CB who consider Blake Lively a good actress (not to use other examples) and we’ll never find a common language.
@51 Cheyenne
“Smith doesn’t seem to be doing much of anything lately.”
Yeah, he’s busy building Scientology schools.
That’s the TRIO OF HOTNESS right there.
Kaiser – Unfair on blatant biased Fassy love. Chiwetel Ejiofor is a beautiful man too – where’s his hotdong pics???
@31…Seriously, you really think the senior Pitts look at their grandchildren by Jolie and wish JA their mother? 6 years of JA’s antics and comments? Please.
Seriously, Johnny Depp gives me the creeps; he reminds me of Squiggy..yuck. I am in awe of Steve McQueen; he is a legend, and I’m looking forward to the movie. Angie wouldn’t go for Fassy.
Wow… so many great observations. Where to begin…
Tilda and Brad in TCCOBB… those two had amazing chemistry, which is saying something since, sometimes, I have a hard time seeing Tilda as vulnerable and sensual (although I think she is attractive). And when you compare their Benjamin Button performances to the work they both did in Burn After Reading, you have to admit that BOTH of them have versatility.
The ensemble work… Brad seems to do his best work when he’s surrounded by a talented ensemble cast. For me, TAOJJBTCRF is a great example of this. Sam Rockwell, Casey Affleck, Jeremy Renner, Sam Shephard, Paul Schneider and surprisingly, even James Carville were damn good in that movie, and sorry to disappoint Pitt detractors, Brad was good in it too. There is no shame in not being ‘the whole show’ especially if your fellow cast members bring out something better in you.
I think about Mae West a lot whenever people try to criticize Brad for getting involved in ensemble. She always gave herself the best lines and used her co-stars to set up her punchlines. But guess what… making everything about her made her miss out on the potential of Cary Grant, who went on to be the comic leading man that all others are measured. And Mae – recognized as a pioneering writer, to a degree, but mostly, remembered as a caricature. Obviously, Brad doesn’t seem to have that mindset, therefore he continues to work and get continually better.
And as for a Fassy/Jolie fantasy hook-up, I can’t see it. I think he would crack too many jokes and just be nervous about the whole thing. Maybe that’s why things never jumped off with Colin Farrell. Angelina is very intimidating to some men – maybe the fact that Brad was already established professionally and maybe he saw a goofy side of Angelina (yes, I think that side exists), maybe he was relaxed, resulting in her feeling relaxed.
@Julia: You might want to head over to read the Duggar thread where people show you how it’s possible to disagree with someone without being insulting (I’m referring to you calling Allie’s comment stupid).
…..(Turtle Dove does a ritual dance using protective charms and incantations to protect Kaiser)…..
Look out, Kaiser. You’re gonna get chicka shanked for sure.
I think that Angie and Fassie would be hot together, but she would devour him and move on to another prey. That was our gal then. Now…. I don’t see it anymore, although AJ is still the most beautiful woman in Hollywood.
I’m with you Kaiser – I’m a Jolie fan, not a Pitt fan. I find him quite uninteresting & pedestrian from his interviews. There’s a reason why all media coverage centers around Jolie & Anniston with Pitt just appearing in the background as this bland, silent pawn between two women.
People were surprised when All-American boy Brad Pitt dated Juliette Lewis for so long because she was so wild & crazy but it doesn’t surprise me – he seems like someone who looks to his girlfriend to supply excitement, color, etc. to his life in a way he is unable to do for himself.
Of course, if you’re going to have 1/2 a dozen kids with a guy, you probably don’t want someone too “interesting” – he’s always seemed stable & more or less monogamous (if serially), which probably ranks as more important for most women who want a reliable father for their kids.
@bluhare
I know english is not my motherthongue but i am pretty sure there is a HUGE difference between calling a comment stupid (and this comment and the logic it sustained was in my view very stupid) and a person as being stupid.
So maybe, just a suggestion, you may take your own advice cause you extrapolating it and inferring, and suggesting otherwise when you are not even the person who made the comment is insulting to ME.
@pwal great post I believe SOMETHING happened with Farrell but Jolie didn’t take it too seriously. He was open about falling for her/chasing her but he wasn’t daddy material. Brad is Daddy material and he’s also Brad Pitt no matter how many detractors he has he’s still one of the biggest movie stars of his generation and a perfect match for the Jolie. Fassy is hot as hell and may be even hotter than Brad in his prime but we all know Angie isn’t going to trust her kids around Fassy. He may be a good father SOMEDAY but he wouldn’t be a good dad to a ready made gaggle of 6 and counting. I still think it’s hot to imagine the two of them together.
this post. i’m pretty neutral towards brad, bc it’s aj i love.if they split i’d be right there with kaiser, team jolie till the bitter end. i’ve been agitating for a torrid angelina/fassbender film. she could handle him. they’d be so crazy and intense and hot. and method. make this happen, kaiser. additionally, i find your hypothetical scenario very pleasing. wouldn’t he like to go racing around on motorcycles and adventuring with her? yeah, i think they’d have a lot of fun. i fervently hope for angelina fassdong red carpet pics in the future.
@ mln6
Nothing happened with Farrel. He said it on french TV in front of Jolie and Oliver Stone.
He said that he was ready and willing and pursuied her but Jolie didn’t want him.
The host asked a blushed Jolie why she wouldn’t want him and why she didn’t want to date him since she was single. She said that he was too much like a male version of herself, like a twin brother to be considered dating material.
OMG HAVE YOU SEEN THIS?!?
The Fassdong, DANCING!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2yFIe1eslY
yaaaaaaaaaaaaasssssssssss!!
Before the Brangeloonies get here, can I just say that yeah, 10 years ago, Jolie and Fassie would’ve been so hot. But these days when I look at Angelina, all I see is a skinny lady with a very beautiful face and 6 really cute kids. And because I think those 6 kids are too young to deal with a torrid affair between their momma and the Fassdong, I can’t even THINK about the possibility. Obviously, Team Brad.
I find parallels between Brangelunatics and Robsten-fanatics interesting. Both fandoms consists of only females who only worship the couples as long as the female (Jolie or the LipBiter Stewart) are talked as the greatest living women on this earth and their partners must serve them and obey. When the break up comes they’ll side with the women.
I guess because you indetify with them.
@julia there are pap pics of them holding hands and walking with Maddox out there, Colin was really open in interviews about having the hots for the Jolie so yes I think they dated but weren’t ever serious enough to talk about it to the press. Just my opinion.
The comments today have nothing to do with kaiser’s post. You guys totally missed the hotness of this post and went to the left! to the left!Smh. Kaiser repost this..and make sure people comment on what you’re insinuating, which is Angie having a torrid affair with Fassie. What does Johnny Depp, Tilda, Cate, Leo, Oscar Award, box office hits,and Will Smith have to do with it?BTW..YES! YES! YES! and a HELL YEAH TO FASSIE AND ANGIE!
@ julia here is the picture I am talking about. They are actually arm in arm this seems like there was some hot lovin going on and Colin seems more into it.
http://www.people.com/people/gallery/0,,670638_696113,00.html
Yes I have seen that pic mln76. My closest male friends and my best friend who is straight and a male and who we both consider as being like brother and sister and even twins of different genders hold me the same way.
So it’s possible but not a proof.
#31 anonymous: I can see why you’re anonymous. I wouldn’t want to sign my name to such a ridiculous comment either.
mln716: Nice pic but The body language doesn’t scream, “We’re boning”. Just friendly and warm. I think if Angie and Colin were screwing, everyone would’ve know about it since neither hide it well.
@Julia:
You said: @ Allie
What a stupid thing to say !
_______________
You then said, to me:
So maybe, just a suggestion, you may take your own advice cause you extrapolating it and inferring, and suggesting otherwise when you are not even the person who made the comment is insulting to ME.
____________________
Tell me where I inferred anything, Julia.
I don’t the fascination with Fass either.I think Fass is a good actor, but I don’t think he has staying power. I think he’ll go the way of most the other actors that everybody drooled over and then forgot about.
Pitt AND Fassy in the same movie? I’m there. 😀
You can’t set up the scene and not continue … what happens when they meet in the dark corner?
On another note, the pics you picked are hilarious. One looks like BP is man-crushing on Fassy; in another, it looks like Brad is side-eying someone, namely Kaiser, for even lingering on the notion of Fassy/Angelina.
Oh and by the way IF ther ever is a split I would try my best to be on both of their ‘teams’ IMO they’ve been through enough with the endless press speculation and their kids deserve to have grounded parents who aren’t at war. And Angie is not one to play a victim. She’s never had a harsh word about any of her exes.
Allie, Angelina has never gone after taken men, unlike Aniston who destroyed a partnership of 14 years. Unlike with the proof of Aniston homewrecking and stealing, there never has been any proof that Angelina has been interested in taken men. In fact, on the contrary!. Sorry to burst your bubble.
Unfortunately Julia, the brainwashed haters like Allie never actually bother to check any facts before posting, they just ‘wing it’, hence them and the loonistons always ending up with egg on their faces.
Ingrid, please get your facts straight and by that, I mean put down the tabloids.
Angelina was NOT ‘on’ heroin per se. She tried many drugs like 99.99999% of Hollywood, and tried Heroin twice, like many of her peers. She was never actually an addict, or ‘on’ heroin.
xyz – disagree with you there. Ian McKellan already made Magneto an interesting character. I like Fassbender but I don’t think he added anything special to that character (just more insight into his history). Over 3 movies McKellan made that character from a villain into someone you can sympathize with.
Wow the Pitt fan girls are on fire today. I hate to break it to you guys but Pitt will never win an Oscar. He doesn’t have what it takes. His movies only get nominated because of the other names attached to it. He always plays “Durr I’m Brad Pitt” in all of his roles. And he’s always in movies where someone always outshines him because he’s not very good. He’s the ScarJo of male actors.
He’s washed up and better actors are coming along and downgrading his place in Hollywood. He can’t hold his own against the older actors and he sure as hell can;t hold his own against the up and comers.
The others are right he got a winning combination with McQueen and Fassbender and he’s going to try to ride it. Though I don’t know how well the movie will do since Fassbender will probably be playing a minor role (unless he’s the Canadian lawyer, his role will probably be a Southern slave owner). I don’t think I’ve seen a McQueen movie without the Fassbender so I can’t be sure how well he does with other actors (does he only shine with Fassbender?).
Kaiser, you’re the woman!
The other day when you put up the Viggo/Fassbender post, I was thinking they would make a great Julius Caesar and Mark Antony to complement Jolie’s Cleopatra. Now if she filled out and and wasn’t afraid to have chemistry with her co-stars, the movie will be caliente. As an Angeloonie, the thought of some Brangeloonie heads exploding gives me an evil kind of pleasure.
I feel she’s done enough penance for the scandal and needs to stop letting the tabs cower her into only playing asexual roles. The Tourist had the potential to be such a good movie but the stilted way she and Johnny acted in it and also during the promotional junkets made it so flat and awkward.
Come on Angie! It’s time to start having fun again. Please note that I am in no way endorsing nor encouraging Angie to have an affair with her co-stars. I just want her to ACT and pursue roles without giving a damn if the tabloids make a stink about it.
The Tourist wasn’t totally aj or jd fault
I listened to the commentary and the director cut out all of their jokes and sexual innuendos bc they would have made the movie nc17 and he wanted a muted family film.
@Ingrid, #24 … “He (Fassbender) also stated that he wants to get married and have children but it would be irresponsable to do it now since he’s focused on his career.”
Not to throw stones in a pond, but this guy sounds like he’d be perfect for Jennifer Aniston.
@Bac, #47 … “How much money has Tree of Life made? Don’t say it had limited release, so did Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris.”
Well, since you asked:
The Woody Allen film “Midnight in Paris” opened in limited Domestic release on May 20, 2011 and went to wide release on June 10, 2011 at 1,038 theaters. Thus far the film has earned a Domestic gross of $55 million and an Overseas gross of $65 million for a Worldwide total of #120 million. The film is still in theaters.
Brad Pitt’s film “The Tree of Life” has been in limited Domestic release at 237 theaters since it opened on May 27, 2011. Although there was talk of eventually putting the film in wide release, it never happened. Thus far the film has earned a Domestic gross of $13 million and an Overseas gross of $41 million for a Worldwide total of $54 million. The film is still in theaters.
I feel like you read my thoughts and put them into words, Kaiser. Although I will say I no longer like “Brangelina”. I only like Angelina and will always be Team Jolie.
And YES to all of this:
“As an Angeloonie, the thought of some Brangeloonie heads exploding gives me an evil kind of pleasure.

Nice to know there are other Angelina fans who think the same.
Team brad
Angi florishing with brad ….brad gave her the safty and the soild ground to go further ….that’s speaks volum of what brad is…….not business or money wise but I guess strong woman needs good men not hot men and brad have both to my point of view as she florish his soul with her strength in aspects he was missing to achieve in his life ..no matter how people dislike brad I do believe he is much better than other think….if we love aangi and trust her heart how come people can not see why she choosed him from all young actors?she knows better who brad is also aniston and lewis and ms paltro. Despite what media or us paint him as selfish …I see it as a man who supported and encourged all his partners a man sure of himself not otherwise.
Michael Fassbender does nothing for me. I think Jason Statham, Tom Hardy and Channing Tatum are much hotter. I would have loved to see Jason star opposite Angie “in the tourist”over Johnny Depp. Jason or Tom with Angie.. now that I can see on screen or imagine some sexual fantasy. I would still choose Brad over all three.
You can’t seriously compare a Terrence Mallick film to Woody Allen. His films aren’t actually linear. They are by nature for people who like those kinds of films there was always going to be a ceiling on how many people would watch a film of which half is montages of nature scenes.
@84 it’s not Loony at all to think Brad will eventually win an Oscar he’s already been nominated and is likely to be nominated this year. He keeps working with high quality directors and getting praise critical praise for his work and his upcoming projects look to be Oscar worthy. I think you are the one who will be saying ‘Durrr’ at the TV screen sooner or later.
The examples people tend to refer to in order to prove someone is a good / bad actor are often like comparing Dickens to Palahniuk or citing the DVD sells of Bergman movies to prove his lack of skill at directing.
Just look at the list of people who (continue to) cast Pitt: Fincher, Malick, Tarantino, the Coens, Iñárritu, Soderbergh. Different as they are, they are all directors who have something to say, managed to create their own artistic language and whose films actually move the cinema forward. For some reason they want to work with Pitt.
BP is big guns, just deal with it and move on. Or go and scream at the ocean.
“Angi florishing with brad ….brad gave her the safty and the soild ground to go further ….that’s speaks volum of what brad is”
No. Not really. Angelina didn’t flourish with him, she has continued to do what she said she would do prior to Brad being part of the picture. Angie flourished once she started her humanatarian work and once she adopted Maddox. She wasn’t self destructive when she met Brad. She had already accomplished so much before him. Instead, she has become more reserved, more serious, thinner, and more timid on screen.
Brad on the other hand has never recieved so much praise for his movies selection as he does now, since he has been with Angelina. He copied her love for flying , had kids with her but he’s hardly seen with them because he’s too busy signing up for movie after movie. So what we see is Angelina taking care of the kids most of time and Brad tagging along when his schedule allows him. His career and his life flourished because of Angelina’s influence.
@ zara – YES to your whole comment.
fassbender as antony to angelina’s cleopatra is brilliant. it’s hard to match her up with a good leading man and i want to see her ignite the screen again.
emmab & zara – we seem to be on the same wavelength! It’s been on my mind that a cinematic Fassbender/Jolie (or Weisz or E. Green) pairing would be off-the-charts scorching hot.
I’m definitely NOT talking about a real-life swap of the Pitt here, as their private lives respectfully deserve to remain in that sphere. Just an opinion on what would be inspired casting 😉 MF+AJ each exude an effortless sensuality/sexuality, even if it’s just a stare at a co-star or walking across a room. This ability I think is innate in certain people, acting techniques are useless here. You have it or you don’t. Much as I like her, Anne Hathaway doesn’t have it. Brad Pitt has it. MF & AJ have it in BUCKETLOADS.
@Waqs? It would be better to read all what I said ….I said he florish her and she florish him not moneywise or business wise …..we r talking relationship here the fess or the pitt ….
I disagree with u totally making brad like only taking with out giving …..just not let forget bbt and how he acted regarding adopting and etc….while brad admired that aspect in her andd they went from there to bigger plans dreams. And they both work for it…….no waqs u can’t deny his love for her an supporting her and the family he wanted with her just bcaz he want to please the woman he is withit does not mean he is weak or hap
