She takes ...There he goes. I love watching him go.<br /><br />She takes the words right out of my mouth. Lately, I'm wondering if I've judged Brad Pitt too harshly on his acting chops. Actually rewatched "Seven", "Legends Of the Fall" and "Burn After Reading" recently. Though none of the performances reach the gold standard he set with "Fight Club", his work in them is more thoughtful than I remembered and I wss actually struck by the many different tones he's able to play.Wayne B.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-31573330655165405542009-04-19T13:20:00.000-04:002009-04-19T13:20:00.000-04:00so would you nominate him then!!so would you nominate him then!!mrripleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-5292655145243434362009-04-18T22:36:00.000-04:002009-04-18T22:36:00.000-04:00mrripley.

I think he TOTALLY understands the character and the tone of the movie. You don't have to have a heavy drama character to deliver a fine screen performance.NATHANIEL Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11597109147678235399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-52507297173890286152009-04-18T09:40:00.000-04:002009-04-18T09:40:00.000-04:00Am I the only one who thinks he's got skinny legs ...Am I the only one who thinks he's got skinny legs here ?

I mean look at Robert Downey Jr. last year - that performance would not have been Oscar material ten years ago...at least I don't think. But I don't know if THIS performance would garner buzz today. I feel it's always been easier for women to get nods for small (and sometimes inconsequential) bit roles in films like Judi Dench in Shakespeare in Love or Tilda Swinton in Michael Clayton or Ruby Dee in American Gangster. But the Supporting Actor race is always filled with category frauds like - Philip Seymour Hoffman (Doubt), Heath Ledger (The Dark Knight), or Jake Gylenhaal (Brokeback Mountain). So it's hard for a guy with a small scene to compete with that.Andrew K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01104647944747041277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-77208546181286433732009-04-18T04:24:00.000-04:002009-04-18T04:24:00.000-04:00i always want to put brad on my 91 supporting acto...i always want to put brad on my 91 supporting actor list he is such a scene stealer but fear nat would laugh me out of the room,but for me this is what would be considered scene stealing supp actor work,if 91 was now we'd be hailing this as the supporting perf of the yr,so 92 goes like this at the mo<br /><br />michael lerner - barton fink<br />harvey keitel - thelma and louise<br />steven hill - billy bathgate<br />john goodman - barton fink<br />samuel l jackson - jungle fevermrripleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-75936354089637790672009-04-18T04:07:00.000-04:002009-04-18T04:07:00.000-04:00Well, considering their beauty nets them upwards o...Well, considering their beauty nets them upwards of $10 million a film, I don't feel too bad for them.adam k.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13485604493059621307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-41842987243823984022009-04-18T02:08:00.000-04:002009-04-18T02:08:00.000-04:00This just may be my favourite of the April Shower ...This just may be my favourite of the April Shower series. You certainly are on point about the characterisation of JD. Brad Pitt (one of the actors that I like a lot) will always remain as one of the most undervalued actors in Hollywood - I believe - it's almost like with Nicole Kidman. They have both have to constantly prove themselves as actors - good actors - because of their physical beauty. It goes to show that there is a thing as TOO beautiful...
