And maybe it could revolve around him showing his arm pits all the time and we could pit Pitt’s pits in _Pit_.

And Bo could chime in and tell us to go throw things into the…oh, never mind. That would never work.

Movie stars don’t make movies, movie stars stand in a precise location so that they can be filmed reciting iines they did not write while faking emotions they do not feel. They do it for money. Lots and lots of money.
And Brad Pitt is married to a woman who does for “high maintenance” what a hydrogen bomb does for “hot”.

She also does for “hot” what a hydrogen bomb does for “hot”.
Although, I have a buddy who always says, “The sad thing is that no matter how good looking/rich/sexy/funny/etc someone is, there’s someone out there who got tired of putting up with their shit.”

Except in this case, Brad Pitt _did_ make World War Z. He was one of the principal producers (and not in the Hollywood “let’s give him a producer credit” way) and was the driving force behind adapting the book.
Fun Fact: The movie rights to the book were the subject of a bidding war between Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio. I always wonder what “his” version would have been like.

Brad and Angelina: they’re the Pitts.

So you’re saying that the OP doesn’t have to live like a refugee? 😉

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - I just see Jon Voight in drag. I like a lot of her films, but I don’t go see Mrs. Pitt to ogle.
As for WWZ, it’s in my Netflix queue, so it’ll be a while. Hollywood is so weird about this - they see something popular and think any superficial element is why. The book was a best seller, but apparently they thought it was just because of the name, so stick it on any zombie movie and it’s all good. Some studio exec somewhere is absolutely certain that Avatar was a hit because the aliens were blue and hey, people like Smurfs.

I just got back from WWZ. It did not follow the book much more than in little side references, but as a fan of zombie movies I thought it was just fine. I’m certainly not outraged about it.

What if Brad Pitt named his son BBQ?
He could be Benjamin Bradley Quentin Pitt – BBQ Pitt.

You don’t think Shiloh Pitt is bad enough?

And he should make it for a very small sum of money. A pittance, to be precise.

There’s just something about her. She’s not the prettiest of women, but she oozes sexy.
As for WWZ, this is where I love not being a fan boy since I can see the movie clean.

I think the $8.25 was the ransom. As a kidnapper you don’t want to ask for more than the hostage is worth.

Huge WWZ fanboy, have a signed copy of the book, etc. - I thought the movie was fantastic, even though it bore little resemblence to the book. Pitt can have my $10.50 whenever he decides to have another go at an action movie.

Didn’t read the book, but I thought the movie was great. And even in 2D it cost a lot more than $8.50 around these parts to see.
I tried to hate Brad Pitt for many years, but he was just too good in too many good movies for me to continue to hate him. He needs to crank out a couple more _Meet Joe Blacks_ to make me start hating him again.

Wait… movies are just $8.25 where you are?
Must have been a matinee.
Either way, I blame Obama. And Paula Deen.
