Brad “Fashion, Baby” Pitt Rolls through LAX

Brad-Pitt-SAG-Awards-2014

Award season is upon us—as are opening blog articles that start this way—which means Brad Pitt will be out in full designer-clad force (his wife, more of a wildcard without a film of her own to promote). Pitt’s ever-lengthening IMDB page added some scroll to 2013, with a supporting role in Steve McQueen’s 12 Years A Slave, for which he also served as one of the film’s lead producers. Over the weekend, Pitt showed up to the Critics’ Choice Awards and Producers Guild Awards with a brand new dude-do (see Mindy Kaling’s hilarious Instagramming below).

Later at LAX, a paparazzo approached the actor to find out the cause behind the chopping of Pitt’s gorgeous locks. The dialogue went as follows:

Pap: Congratulations, Brad.

Pitt: Thanks, Man.

Pap: What’s up with the hair, man? Was it an oops or what? Were you in the bathroom and oops? What was it? You said it wasn’t by choice (x2).

Pitt: Fashion, baby.

Fight Club Scene Re-cut Without Brad Pitt

Way back before David Fincher turned  Justin Timberlake into the kind of actor/musician that utteres lines like “We lived on farms, then we lived in cities, and now we’re going to live on the internet!” he directed the now-cult classic film Fight Club starring Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, Helena Bonham Carter, and Jared Leto. The movie introduced Brad Pitt as enigmatic soap salesman Tyler Durden, who (SPOILER) by  film’s end we learn never really existed. Now, in a new cut of a scene from Reddit user tramdog (thanks tramdog, hey to the folks!), all traces of Tyler have been digitally removed, leaving Norton’s character looking like he’s been speaking to himself the whole time. Excited commenters have urged tramdog to expand his idea and re-cut the entire film without Pitt (blasphemy?), but unfortunately, tramdog is busy. As the user noted, “I don’t have the time or attention span it would take to do the whole thing. I may do more scenes later, but probably from a variety of different movies…”

Watch Every Movie Released This Year in Seven Minutes

Some people have a lot of time on their hands. Those with such privilege must busy themselves somehow. Sometimes they: write songs, perform magic tricks, or, remember that guy that recited every line of Mean Girls in thirty minutes? These people exist, they’re real, and best of all, their schedule is wide open. Add a new contender to the pantheon of the time-unbound, as The Sleepy Skunk — his name, not one we assigned him — has taken every movie that hit theatres in 2013 and boiled them down to one comprehensive 6:45 supercut. ‘Cause how else should someone named The Sleepy Skunk manage his time? 

An overview: from 12 Years A Slave to that movie in which Denzel and Marky Mark blew up cars, many masked people, many guns — so many guns — worlds in peril, Blanchett in the shower, Gosling, DiCaprio, Gordon-Levitt, fire, blaze, explosion,”duck!”, DeNiro pushing Michael Douglas into a pool, people running for their lives, Judi Dench gazing off in the distance on a hill, an unwelcome reminder of that Oz movie, Jared Leto in drag, and a barrage of explosives (’cause who’s sick of those?).

Is Brad Pitt Getting a Heart-Shaped Island for his Big 5-0?

December 18th is fast approaching, and you know what that means. One week until Christmas? Yes, sure, but of equal importance in the Angelina Jolie-Brad Pitt household: Papa Brad’s 50th birthday.

According to reports, Jolie, recognizing Pitt’s avid love for architect Frank Lloyd Wright, purchased Petra, the $20-million dollar island fifty-miles from New York City. The 11-acre island contains two Lloyd Wright-designed properties — a 5,000-square foot main residence and a 1,200 square-foot cottage — as well as a landing pad for drop-in visitors (like us?).

And while, sure, buying islands can be categorized as “excessive”, they’re both above decent actors and it’s as good an opportunity as any to revisit the fact that Brad & Angie do a lot of good for the non-island-buying populous:

Fassbender Doesn’t Want Your Carrot OR Your Oscar

12-years-a-slave-michael-fassbender-steve-mcqueen

It’s hard for some to wrap their minds around the fact that Hollywood’s elite actually have to campaign to win those golden statuettes, but perhaps even harder to believe that some of them reject the very idea. In 2011, Michael Fassbender starred opposite Carey Mulligan in Steve McQueen’s Shame. But Kevin James had a comedy out where he played a zookeeper and Vanessa Hudgens had a vague remake of Beauty and the Beast and who could forget: The Smurfs. Needless to say, people were preoccupied and Fassbender’s very Oscar-friendly performance and his subsequent campaign went unnoticed. Well, Fassbender’s back at it again — making movies that is — re-teaming with McQueen for the highly-anticipated 12 Years a Slave (co-starring Brad Pitt and Benedict Cumberbatch). But no Oscars, please.

Fassbender spoke to GQ, revealing: “You know, I get it. Everybody’s got to do their job. So you try and help and facilitate as best you can. But I won’t put myself through that kind of situation again. It’s just a grind. And I’m not a politician. I’m an actor.”

This harkens back to Joaquin Phoenix’s infamous Interview quote: “[The award circuit is] total, utter bullshit, and I don’t want to be a part of it. I don’t believe in it. It’s a carrot, but it’s the worst-tasting carrot I’ve ever tasted in my whole life. I don’t want this carrot. It’s totally subjective. Pitting people against each other … it’s the stupidest thing in the whole world.”

Here’s a trailer for the film Fassbender will not be campaigning for:
