AIBU?

To wish Angelina Jolie woud just go away

38 replies

BongoWinslow · 03/12/2010 10:08

Everywhere I look, there she is. Magazines, new movie, tv interviews, articles in paper about the film she's making, endless picturs in mags of her with her child army. I guess it's not her fault, but just enough already.

It doesn't help that I cannot bear her, but that aside, I do wish the media would find someone else to be fascinated by for a bit.

I liked her in "Salt". It made a refreshing change to see her playing in a kind of "Die Hard" movie - killing everyone single handedly with no help from the men

FindingMyMojo · 03/12/2010 10:14

But she is the worlds most fascinating woman !!! Personally I haven't noticed yet but if it means we get a break from Cheryl Cole's media domination, then bring it on!

juneybean · 03/12/2010 10:14

Awww no I think she's gorgeous!

Don't forget Tomb raider Animation

MrManager · 03/12/2010 10:29

You're the one buying those tatty mags with pictures of her. How dare she walk around with her children. What a bitch!

BongoWinslow · 03/12/2010 10:31

Tomb Raider was good, that's true. In fact I even like her in Gone in 60 Seconds (can't believe I'm admitting that)... and yet...she just seems so smug. Hmm, but it might just be me. Bugger.

She is smug. And not a particularly good actress either imo.

TooBlessed2spendxmasalone · 03/12/2010 10:53

she is smug,,

gastrognome · 03/12/2010 11:16

YANBU!
She's awful. There's something so self-righteous about her. Haven't liked any of the films I've seen her in either.

LouMacca · 03/12/2010 11:25

If you just want her to just go away think how Jennifer Anniston must feel seeing AJ's mug everywhere.

I do think she is stunning and was amazing in The Changeling but she isn't someone I can warm to. YANBU.

bupcakesandcunting · 03/12/2010 11:27

I get geared up to dislike her, I hate her for what she did to Jennifer (I think Jennifer is lovely) and I think she pouted at Brad and lured him from Jen.

Then I see her in an interview and she seems perfectly nice and reasonable and not "showy" and I'm conflicted.

She is very beautiful BUT I am hoping betting that those lips will not look so good when she hits 60.

I agree OP, i can't stand her, im not sure what the fuss is about i don't think she is beautiful or a very good actress tbh.

Charleney · 03/12/2010 12:01

What about the fact she has Brad Pitt at home and now shes all over Johnny Depp in her new film. Its just not fair :(

ginhag · 03/12/2010 12:03

AllarmBelly · 03/12/2010 12:07

I like her. I love how she's absolutely stunning but has no interest in clothes. Just slaps on a black dress for a premiere and looks amazing.

I don't buy magazines she's in though. Booring! And I'd hate to be one of her kids.

BongoWinslow · 03/12/2010 13:30

ginhag I would love it if she as outside my window, then I could have a good shout at her about how bitchy that Vanity Fair photo spread with Brad was - here.

This is what I loathe. She says she would never be with a married man etc etc yet WAY too soon after Brad left Jen for her they did this. So insensitive it's unbelievable.

bupcakesandcunting I'm similarly conflicted. But then I remind myself of the above and remember that anyone really nice just wouldn't do that. She's nice when it suits her, but God help you if you stood in her way.

Ugh. Vile.

BongoWinslow · 03/12/2010 13:37

And while I'm having a good rant, when she adopted her second son she changed his name (to Pax). He was 3 years old! Seriously, what possible reason is there to do that apart from one's own narcissism?

ok, I think I need a lie down now.

PamelaFlitton · 03/12/2010 13:40

Let's face it, what man WOULDN'T pick Angelina Jolie over Jennifer Aniston?

TinselinaBumSquash · 03/12/2010 13:41

MY DP fancies Jen Aniston a lot more than Jolie, he doesn't like the pouty lip look.

Mum2HarryandBen · 03/12/2010 15:21

A very beautiful woman on the outside! One scary person on the inside from what i can make out! Brad got what he deserved he is trapped and fluctuating happy/uptight/miserable!

Animation · 03/12/2010 15:59

I always wondered why Jen Aniston couldn't keep Brad because she's so gorgeous herself. Then I heard she gets a bit needy and clingy. So, if that's the truth, men don't like clingy women no matter how good looking they are.

Animation · 03/12/2010 16:07

BTW, I tell you who I wish would go away - off the tele - John Barryman - he's bloody everywhere!

I really like her, I generally like her films and I think she's a good actress.

But then I seem to generally like film stars other women don't, like Keira Knightly.

BongoWinslow · 03/12/2010 16:21

don't even get me started on Keira Knightly and her sodding ridiculous pouting.

although she was good in Atonement. When she wasn't pouting. except in the bits where pouting was appropriate.

Angie is a fab actress, watch 'A Mighty Heart'

Keira is appalling, very pouty and a rubbish actress.
