I really liked Pitt in 12 Monkeys and Burn After Reading. I think he’s a character actor in a leading man’s body. See Alec Baldwin.

Once Baldwin got fat and was no longer “a Baldwin,” you could see how funny he is. 30 Rock was a revelation!

I was coming in here to say that I loved him Burn After Reading but you beat me to it. He has a lot of natural charm, which can take you even farther than talent (not that I think he’s untalented).

Re: Snatch. I love the look on his face when he fails to throw the fight. It's like oopsie, my bad.

I always thought Owen Wilson should have had his role in Burn After Reading. While his range is generally much more limited than Brad's, that particular role was like... THE thing he's really good at.

Tom Cruise jumping around being Tom Cruise in vampire costume was more distracting to me than Brad looking morose and pretty.

Now that I think about it, Stephen Rea kind of sucks in that movie too.

I don't care, it's a cheesefest but I still love it.

Speaking of revelations, am I the only one who was blown away by Kirsten Dunst in Interview?

Topic: I like Brad. I saw Meet Joe Black for Claire Forlani, but I liked Brad in it. That was some oscar bait bouncing.

This is the only scene I remember in Meet Joe Black.

It's the only scene that matters. How did that scene make it past a test audience, I wonder.

I remember Lisa Kudrow hosted the MTV Movie Awards that year and made fun of how everybody in that movie just stared off into space the whole time.

Ah, the 90s.

Meet Joe Black might be the only movie where Brad's pretty was eclipsed by the sets. But I have a real estate porn problem, so that might just be me.

I have never seen the movie and I just laughed uncomfortably at that scene. Was that the typical reaction?

No, the typical reaction was hysterical laughter.

I was lucky enough to see this in the theater. There was a moment of silence, then somebody snorted, then everyone just gave in to full blown laughter.
