    Moneyball will end the weekend with at most 12 million. No way is it making it to the 80 million his fans were hoping for. Face it the guy is better at selling tabloids.

    “Moneyball” has been out only two weekends and you’re calling it a bomb already?? Boy, hate sure does blind a person, doesn’t it?

  • ShaddupmAniston

    That’s enough Jen. Don’t be angry because your a no-talent ex TV sh*t-com hacktress who couldn’t open a movie to save her life. Keep blowing bananas old girl, being a victim and orchestrating tabloid fauxmances with your rent a dates…it will never make you a movie star. You’ve been trying to become Sandra Bullock for 20 years, including once being engaged to her ex, and now you’re 45 – it ain’t happening. Lifetime TV is your calling..grab it now.

    Brad Pitt is not only an icon at this point who will most lily be getting his 3rd or 4th Oscar nod in 3 years, he gets paid 20+ per film, and is one of the hottest producers in the Industry as well. Jennifer Aniston’s PR flacks really need to stay out of anything Pitt or Jolie related on GC. Move on please – MOVE ON. It’s been 7 effing years.

  • Modernmediasucks

    Why, why, why does Aniston always have to be added to ANY commentary about Pitt? It seems to me the loons DO NOT want to move on. Also, what an easy way out. Just blame ANY and ALL criticism on Aniston. Good grief, so original. And the level of bitterness from people who will accomplish nothing more in life than being an anonymous commentor. Aniston will always be miles ahead of you haters. If she’s such a failure she wouldn’t have $150 million in the bank.

    The reality is for such a big star and the endless, endless, endless marketing for”Moneyball” it is not doing all that well. I think it’s more than generous to say this film will make $80 million. Also, more than 60% of the audience is over 50 years old according to exit polls. So losers, if Brad is one of the biggest stars in the world, where are all of Brad’s fangirls?

  • js

    I went to see since it was so highly advertised and it was one of the most boring movies I have
    ever seen. I can’t understand why the critics always build him and George Clooney up so much.
    If you want to see a good actor and a good movie go see Machine Gun Preacher and it got a
    standing ovation at the Tornoto Film Festival. Brad hasn’t been good in a movie for a long time.
    He’s only famous for six kids, Angelina and his globe trotting.

  • Shddupbradouchepitt

    Jen Aniston trying to be Sandra Bullock? Uh huh clearly you’re delusional – Jen’s clearly more A list than Sandra. Brad Pitt and his pr0stitute, asslips jolie are the ones who should be doing lifetime, hello? jolie can only open a movie if she’s holding a gun in her movies and brad’s an aging douche who lost his look and now being a pathetic loser that he is, is trying to sell his movie by mentioning jen – and yeah it backfired, look at how much moneyball is making.

    And no, he doesnt get paid 20 mil per film, if he is he wouldn’t be listed as earning lower than his homewrecker partner and jen. How bout you tell brad that? jen’s pr team wasn’t the one who mentioned about the marriage.

  • cansee

    There is no way you want people to move on. What would you do with your time if you couldn’t post your hateful comments about Jennifer Aniston all over the web? You can’t live without Jennifer Aniston.

    So true. The haters are almost like Aniston super fans at this point. I wonder how many hours a week they spend on Jen, trolling the net looking for articles to comment obsessing over her EVERY move.

    Jennifer Aniston is the loser and PR manipulator who has discussed her breakup and marriage as well as her use her posse to insult Pitt-Jolie dozens of times. Her PR team has operated on an entire campaign profitting and spinning non-stop over a made-up scandal based on a lie. People just ignore her tons of interviews and what she, her PR team, and her minions have said in tons of articles. The media makes up another controversy over his interview which was hardly offensive considering everything she has said about him which corresponded with a trashy tabloid version that ruined his reputation and made him an object of constant craziness and uber-hatred he does not deserve.

    He has been the one of the most successful actors in Hollywood for nearly twenty years. He has been involved in dozens of quality movies as well give impressive performances that actually require range and talent instead of cashing in on yellow journalism and made up images at the expense of other people like Aniston who was not even an overpaid A-lister until she hooked up with Brad and then destroyed Brad over a fictional version of their breakup by using rumors and capitalizing on backlash over misconceptions.

    Moneyball is a genre movie. It has the highest opening for a baseball movie and only had expectations to make about 13-15 mil in its opening. It is also critically acclaimed despite any media biases which Pitt-Jolie have had to overcome with every movie.

    Brad Pitt is nice to look at and he’s cast in movies that have amazing stories, but he’s a mediocre actor, at best. Aside from Fight Club, I really can’t think of any movies that he was in where I was impressed with his acting. Personally, I think he’s highly overrated as an actor. It’s his name that keeps people coming. That, and the fact that we’re in the middle of baseball playoffs.

    And no, I’m not Jen Aniston. Haha!

    Once again with the hypocrisy of high proprtions. No, you trolled every Pitt-Jolie page and support any spin/trash the media dishes out. You forget that people only responded because Pitt’s obsessive haters
    already started flaming a page about the box office for christ sakes. You are in denial of your own behavior and are probably the only group of people that responds to this everyday. Then you spread slander about him as an actor and as a person by using lies/tabloid nonsense. Then you degrade everybody who defends them. You are obsessed with spreading spin against a media target who is a good man and will continue to go crazy by supporting an utter fraud with a toxic impact on society like Aniston who chose to milk misconceptions about a breakup and also engaged in character assassination by fueling the public lynch mob. Then Pitt is held to different standards when every aspect of his life, words, and actions get lied about. People like you occupy every site and are addicted to this trash. You are giving this corruption so much power and are serving as tools to a deceitful woman who doesn’t have character, ethics, authenticity, as well as being a mediocre talent.

    People like you serve the tabloids by suscribing to stories, attitudes, and hatred based on sleaze and deception. The crazy Fanistons are pathetic enough to turn an entry about the box office into slanderous bashing of Pitt by making delusional statements because they believe the tabloids, every media angle, and buy into the aggresive manipulation from Aniston’s Pr camp. Moneyball is considered to be a success and was never launched as a blockbuster. Pitt has been one of the biggest movie stars for nearly twenty years and he made Aniston an A-lister. Compare their careers and lives. Pitt became a beloved figure because of his personality which people were brainwashed into rejecting to blindly accept a trashy, contradictory tabloid version based on a false accusation when real scandals of this nature have never induced this reaction.

    Inglorious Basterds, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Burn After Reading, Seven, Ocean’s Eleven and many others were considered to be hits. He has been in tons of note-worthy movies by giving great performances. It is the quality of the movie that matters. It is the quality of the man that matters but people are blinded by their unfounded hatred because they choose to believe garbage and spin by also making it worse.

    People like you are seriously deluded and continue to dish version of events that do not correspond with reality.

    Pitt is a good actor and he has been in tons of good movies. He was famous, accomplished, respected, and successful way before 2005. He earned his place in the A-list and actually originally became beloved due to his personality, reputation, and sincerity which Aniston helped destroy by feeding into misconceptins about their breakup with the facade of her marriage which created a Golden Girl persona because she landed the Golden Boy. Did you just have a memory block-out of the ’90′s and everything true, good, and admirable about him for over ten years? You would not recognize a truly good celeb who is wrongly maligned by the dregs of society, a greedy media, and a calculating tyrant of an ex if it bit you in the butt. You lack the taste to recognize character in a person or talent in a cinematic icon while worshipping a fraud, hacktress, and liar who would not be in the A-list at all if not for Pitt. She has a rabid fanbase because of the tabloids, a false persona, and exploiting lies off of others. She doesn’t even deserve to be a box office draw for continuing to make utter C-grade junk and for acting like herself. What great movies has she been in? She would have faded into the C-list after Friends was over, if not for Pitt.

    Babel, The Assassination of Jesse James, Inglorious Bastards, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Burn After Reading, Fight Club, Seven, Ocean’s Eleven, True Romance, Thelma & Louise, Twelve Monkeys, A River Runs Through It, and so many other movies have benefitted from Pitt’s presence as well as be considered to be modern masterpieces or cult favorites that will go down in cinema history.
    He has had a great career and didn’t mooch off of anybody or became famous by exploiting another celeb’s persona.

    His flamers and haters add power to one more delusion and contradiction after another. Even a page about the box office gets taken over by his mob of haters who are ignorant enough to spread slander everywhere yet can’t handle any truth about Jennifer Aniston.

  • Modernmediasucks

    Actually I spend most of my time on Jolie-Pitt articles laughing at YOU. I have a tendency to skip 8 out of 10 Jolie-Pitt articles. One cannot say the same for you and the Anison articles. I love how you changed your name from “Concerned” whatever to anonymous. You’re the same crazy poster who writes mini novels on EVERY Aniston and Pitt article. Sorry, that’s not quite true. You write mini novels for each comment and then comment 10-20 times on each article. You’re a complete psycho. No wonder they call you guys loons.

    Brad Pitt can actually act, can actually play characters as well as be a charismatic leading man, and has an interesting take on every role he plays. He has demonstrated a great deal of range, dramatic intensity, and even comedic chops. He has had a career most people would kill for. His movies have been relatively successful and he has only improved as an actor and even more as a person yet people badmouth him more.

    Will this smearing and trashing based on the worst sheep who chose to jump on a depraved bandwagon based on lies against an extraordinary man who actually has admirable qualities never end? One of the best celebs out there gets the worst amount of hatred. There is no point in rehashing his resume because the people who lack the good taste to recognize who he truly is as a person versus the derogatory spin will continue to show the tastelessness to trash his career too. The flamers have to dish bs about everything and
    then paint people who speak the truth as so crazy. How can any sane person claim he has never given an
    impressive performance. People buy into spin about his personal life, get deluded by media garbage, respond
    to the hypocritical claims by Aniston’s Pr camp, and now are trying to lay it thick with trash about his career too.
    None of this poisionous perspective has any basis in reality, truth, or goodness. No cinemaphile or sane person would not blow off his career like this regardless if they are idiotic enough to swallow all of this trash about his personal life or not. His personal life is admirable yet people hate him by sabotaging his films because of how it is wrongly depicted. Then this gets to sell for over six years. Considering the amount of sick corrupt bashing he gets, it is a miracle from God that he has managed to even still have a career.

    Moneyball was a complex and interesting movie that had me riveted. Pitt was very compelling in it and gave a strong performance that carried the movie.

    Jennifer Aniston is probably the most criminally overrated actress and person out there who cashes in by controlling media corruption, constantly spreading spin, discussing her misportrayed breakup/marriage, yet has her PR team flip out by going nuts over inferences that would hardly be considered offensive, and continuing to thrive on a false persona. I have not been impressed with a single performance or film of hers.

  • Modernmediasucks

    Like I said you post crazy babble that are as long as mini novels.

  • calm down

    caon down brad Pitt . We all don’t have to share the same taste in actors/actresses. I have seen most of his movies and he’s just okay. He’s definitely overrated and he’s actually never the best part of any movie of his that ive watched.

  • calm down

    My Aunt. said brad’s face looked like a catchers mitt in moneyball

    All the weekend ratings prove is that families take their young children to the movies on the weekend! It is so obvious by the movies that are high in the ratings. If Moneyball was in a race with two other adult movies, it would be totally in first place. No matter what the ratings……….it is a great movie, great story and great acting….despite where you place Brad in the “love him or hate him” category. The movie is absolutely worth your time and money.

  • Regina1180

    Wow. You have to love the crazy people who say that Aniston is a terrible actress, but then go just bats*$ crazy when people say the same thing about Pitt. It’s called opinions, people.

  • ozzie

    wow…in another few weeks Abduction might actually almost make back it’s budget lol

  • Mnj

    For one last time bradd is not the highest paid actor in holliwood. He makes less than jolie for a movie who make less than jen. Jolie got paid 32mil for 3 movies while jen got paid30mil for two movies. Pitt makes lesss than them he has said it himself. Also the hottest and riches producer in holliwood would b leo dicapri makin 72mil with two movies and he has been nominated almost 5 times.

  • Mnj

    You know what get your fact fucking straight. Jennifer aniston has worked for what she gots. She became famouse all over the world on friends. While she was workin on friends she made alot of movies and that was even before she married pitt. All of he costars and her became house hold names. She was gettin pay 1 mil per episode on the last season and I dont think that haded yo do anything with pitt startin from 2000 she has always been on the on forbes top paid and I dont that wasnt thanks to pitt either. Sge made more than him when they were married. He even said it himself. The only good movies that he has made yes it would b fight club and gueas what he was married to jen. She is the one that help him out on movies. They even said it themselfs. After thw divorce she is still a top paid actress. She does her charities low key unlike sum people. Also she us still a hot actress. She is happy that she gets a job cuz like he said it could all just go like that. She gets movies not becaise of pitt.
