Emitte Lucem Et Veritatem
Initially I didn't pay much attention. Then I heard she was morbid creepy and I thought "maybe I like her". Then I saw her on James Lipton and I was transfixed - I realized sort of out of nowhere how astonishingly beautiful she is - an almost unearthly beauty. Transcendent Beauty. I remember thinking "how could I not have noticed this until now?" I liked her more. She gave her Oscar to her mother. I liked her more. She adopted brown kids. I fell in love. Instead of swanning around Hollywood - she ran off to Africa to wear a mammy headscarf and roam the savanna till she busts. I remember my first time to Indonesia, first time to Thailand, India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan, etc., etc. - how deeply I loved those places - how desperate I am to return - how profoundly they mold the soul. Angelina, Comrade. I just saw the NBC interview. Wow. I love this woman in so many strange and powerful ways. I absolutely fucking love Angelina Jolie more than I can express in one post.

yes, it's a lovely story. truly admirable. perhaps she's doing penance for all those bad films.
hell, i should be so good.
I'm so glad you wrote this. I've felt the same way for some time now. I remember suddenly stopping to scratch my head and wonder how I had not noticed this incredible person; I dig people I admire, and the dynamic force that is Angelina Jolie has thrown me into full crush mode. I had intended to watch the interview on NBC but missed it. You'll have to fill me in.
To think she's doing all that penance while having sex with Brad Pitt. If that's punishment, I should sin a lot more often. Personally, I love her just for extracting Pitt from the evil clutches of highly generic bland actress Jennifer Aniston.
Her roles in "Hackers" and "Gia" almost made me want to go straight. Almost. Or try to sleep with Jonny Lee Miller, at the least.
Dean, u r n my blogroll!.... Todd, twin-o-mine, i'm SO pleased to learn you feel the same way... isn't she just almost like something from another planet? isn't she hotter and truer and more real and more delicious than ANY of the classic screen vamps? She also reminds me of audrey to a degree, because of how audrey spent her later years... Palochi, yes, i was going to mention that--in the middle of all this magnificence, BAGGING BRAD... omg... she get's that dick any time she wants it... more power to our Angelina. CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF HER.
:)
Anyone who can go on camera with white snakes wrapped around her legs and purr, "Alekksssaaaaaahnderrrrrr," with a straight face, deserves some kind of award.
WORD!!! I’ve always had an affinity towards AJ. I love her in her white tuxedo! I love her tattoos. I love her witchy black hair. I love her involvement as an active UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador. I love that she’s so private. And I love that she’s a Gemini just like ME!!! ;)
She was at an event I was at and she was amazingly striking. She wore a very simple black dress and I'm not kidding when I tell you no one could have worn it better.
She took questions from a variety of people, and smiled the entire time, not once was she taken off guard or upset by ANY of the myriad questions. Some of which were really personal.
She just smiled beautifully, and since that time I have had the utmost respect for her. She's not just beautiful to look at, she's beautiful period.
I fell in love with her when I first saw her in "Girl, Interrupted".
yes i loved her in gia and girl interupted. loved the description of gia's death by her onscreen mom ... the bed sore scabs that dried onto the sheets ... when they lifted her off the bed her skin just slipped right off ... but I liked her best when she was being a BITCH as Laura Croft opposite a man i want more than brad pitt - gerard butler - but when she did Olympias with a transylvanian accent i thought girl? ... that movie was such a hodge podge of crazy fartesian accents ... but yes ... i love the life she's living ... she's no bottle nosed coke whore ... she's a fearless adverturer.
Oh yes Spence, she is beautiful. When I heard she had Billy Bob Thornton's blood around her neck or some kinda morticia addams shit I liked her even more...spooky chicks are cool. I will never forget that awards show where he very casually said he had just f***d her in the car on the way over. How cool is that???
PS Are you watching next food network star?
Spence? Hello? Oh yeah, its the weekend!!!
i SO watched the next food net star!... i voted for DAN!... reggie is family, but he was so fucking annoying with all that "sassy" shit, and calling the onions "girls"... get some new adjectives reggie!.... Dan was great, i'm glad he won... i love it. LIL, i'm haranguing the communists in a new post... hope you like it... you socialist you. ;)
She's like Audrey Hepburn, but more contemporary in that she makes out with her bruder.
Angelina should stop-stop being mad at her father, John. None of us is perfect-is that not the truth?
Go to brown country then if you miss it so much asshole. The kids were in vogue when her an every other star adopted one, why don't they try adopteding an american kid instead.
