GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Saturday, Aug 9, 2008
Standing in line at the grocery store waiting for a lady to count out her change I get to read all the headlines splashed over practically every tabloid and celebrity gossip magazine: Brad and Angelina now have even more kids - ironically, two at a time this round. You'd think it was the biggest news that's happened since the birth of Christ. Oh yeah, even he didn't receive this much fanfare.

So, let me get this straight: Angelina breaks up a marriage after Brad cheats on his wife Jennifer with Ms. Jolie, and the media follows them around breathlessly, giving them even more publicity. Since Angelina has a gaping void in her life, she has begun a hobby of collecting children. After acquiring a couple, Brad and Angelina decide to spawn their own, thereby having a white one to diversify their portfolio. In normal, stable, healthy relationships before this happens a commitment to marriage typically comes first. Of course, we know how revered such a commitment on Mr. Pitt's side would be, so perhaps that is why it was a joke for both of them. Along comes Shiloh (calling all Neil Diamond fans). Suddenly, Shiloh's a toddler. Maybe Brad desperately wanted a son. Maybe they wanted to counterbalance the foreign adoptees a little better. Who knows. Brad knocks her up again and merciless heaven the girl breeds twins this time. The media can't get enough. Carefully staged photos of Brad looking over her shoulder at the babies are issued; captions such as "Brad and Angelina's Happiness" and "Why He's Such a Good Father" pop up everywhere, maximizing the joke.

So, basically you have two people acting like white trash being promoted and marketed as saints, all because they were born with good looks and now they're rich from doing second-rate movies. Thank goodness we have the media to tell us what's important in life and set the standard.

As an individual directly affected by and well-versed in divorce and its aftermath, I can personally say that Brad and Angelina popping out kids without giving them an ounce of stability by committing to one another in marriage is a travesty and a selfish sham that mocks real love. The greatest gift a father can give his children is to love their mother, and Brad and Angelina's adulterated romance will not last forever. Their kids are doomed, though they have the wealth of the world in money.

Some people just don't have opinions. Like FlyGirl79.
FlyGirl79 must really love MovieTome and agree with every review we've ever written! What other reason could FlyGirl79 possibly have for not rating a single film?
