    I am so seeing this movie.

    Chiwetel Ejifor is in it.

    Philip Noyce who directed Clear And Present Danger (and Rabbit Proof Fence among others) knows how to do action.

    Chiwetel Ejifor is in it.

    I wonder why Tom Cruise dropped out and if they had to rewrite the script once Angelina was cast? #angelinajoliesalttrailer

    @nyc-caribbean-ragazza: Didn't they do a production of Othello with Chiwetel Ejifor as Othello and Ewan McGregor as Eiago? Certainly there could not have been a dry eye in the house at the end of that show (and by eye I mean panties).

    @hortense: You know, I'm not a massive fan of her acting, but I like how she is redefining a traditional 'A' list actress's career trajectory - action flicks and more serious roles a la Clive Owen, Daniel Craig, Leonardo DiCaprio etc. I can't think of another woman who's done that.

    @snugbug: No. Again, I'm not talking about an actress who has played a kick-ass role or two because she happens to be the muse of one director (Thurman), or by default, because a film unexpectedly became a franchise (Weaver) - both of those actresses have been 'passive' in those deals and neither of them has continued in that genre. I think Angelina is different because she seems to have actively sought out a succession of action-hero roles in films by various different directors, playing different characters. There just isn't another A-list actress that has managed - or wanted - to pull that off. Even though I'm not fan of those films, I kinda like how she's not overly bothered about being 'taken seriously' as an actress. #angelinajoliesalttrailer

    @Diziet_Sma: Damn! You run a tight game around these parts, sister!

    I (begrudgingly) concede the point.

    Truth be told, I enjoy cheeseball action heroine Angie a ton more than heaving-bosom dramatic Angie. Wanted was such an enormously entertaining laugh riot. I also remain a fan of something called Life Or Something Like It that Jolie starred in a while back. It's an imbecilic "uplifting drama" that will have you in stitches. Ditto Alexander.. Come think of it, Jolie is also extremely gifted at unintentional comedy. And yes, I like her all the more for it. #angelinajoliesalttrailer

    @Diziet_Sma: well, Jolie is admittedly better in the "kick-ass" roles which seem more suited to her inherent character; she always appears to struggle with more serious, dramatic roles.

    Her pursuit may be by design of her own with the knowledge that she's an otherwise "sucky" actress. (my opinion)

    I'll watch her jump off things, punch people and shoot guns ANY DAY because she's so good at it. #angelinajoliesalttrailer

    You mentioned "Fantastic Mr. Fox", which got me all uber excited, and then I read the article.

    "a mix of live-action and computer animation"

    So really it's more like the torturing existence of the live action and CG "Alvin and the Chipmunks". Shit. And Shawn Levy doesn't exactly have a likable track-record in my book.

    See, Mr. Fox is going to be awesome. This? Probably not so awesome. =( #theberenstainbears

    @formergr: When my sisters and I were in middle and high school our summer break included obsessively watching the stock market and critiquing children's programming. Let's just say in the last 15 years children's programming has gotten so incredibly bad. I think the only thing watchable now is Angelina Ballerina (which I do watch but I only find it on at night) and there are a few things on Discovery Kids. We miss the days of Square One, the Magic School Bus, Bill Nye and Mathnet. My middle sister weeps over the loss of Steve in Blues Clues. #theberenstainbears
