Cheating on Jennifer

Last night I convinced Eric in to renting/watching Mr. & Mrs. Smith, starring Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. The movie got 3 out of 5 stars in my mind. The plot was very Hollywood and a little overboard but it was pretty fun. I think Hollywood could have done more with it, and there were some unsightly shots of Angelina's stunt double that I could have done without. Aside from all of that I couldn't shake this terrible ache in my gut -- I couldn't help feeling like I was being disloyal to Jennifer Aniston. It's hard to watch Angelina and Brad go at it when you have to look at Jen's heart break on the cover of every magazine. And her teary interview on Oprah! Come on!

This movie turned out to be an emotional mix for Jess. I turned to Eric last night, about half way through the movie and said, "Is it just me or does this feel like we're cheating on Jen?!" Since then I've felt like a bad friend, a disloyal fan, and a terrible person for even renting the movie. I think the feelings I have are probably shared with many Americans and I hope the movie suffered because of it. I know first hand how it feels to have your man ripped from you when you least expect it. I know Jennifer is better without wishy-washy Brad -- but no need to watch him screw his co-star on film directly after your marriage has been publicly shattered. Poor Jen.

Jen is better off with crazy-man Vince Vaughn. She needs a little instability in her life. And how long do you think the thing with Brangelina is gonna last, anyway?

Personally I'd do Vince Vaugh over Brad Pitt ANY DAY! And that's been my opinion since BEFORE the Brad/Jen break-up. It's just annoying to see those two together. IT's like watching the popular kids rise and the nice yet smart ones fall to the side.

That's so funny that you talked about this movie today. We rented it over the weekend, too! The only difference is, I was pretty disappointed with it. Less than halfway through it, I was like, "I don't feel like watching this anymore, good nite" and I flipped over and fell asleep. It just wasn't holding my interest. I made up for cheating on Jen, though, by watching season 10 of "Friends" tonite! :)

Angelina is hotter! Screw Jen! Actually Vince Vaughn and Angelina should leave both Brad and Jen alone...I don't know...I can't believe we're discussing this! Love you, Jessie!

I agree with you Jess. That movie sucked. In all honesty the only thing that kept me watching was the hotness of Angelina! If I was Madox I would constantly be walking in on her while she was showing...

I was never really thrilled by Jennifer Aniston and never thought she was all that. To be honest, she would be better off with NO man at this point! Vince Vaughn is just a rebound guy, anyway. Brad is having a mid life crisis, and I'm tired of seeing him and Angie jetting all over the place. I used to like those two before they knew each other. (Do we even know these people??)

I'm glad you guys told me the movie sucked. I'll save on renting it.

I think Angelina is totally hot, and I love her movie rolls, but I just don't see her and Brad together. I also think that Brad sucks for cheating on Jen. I also think that Angelina is a little bit scheisty -- regardless of her hotness. Jen on the other hand seems way more normal. She hasn't had the years of wacko fame that those two have. Sure, she's Jennifer Aniston, but she was just a normal American person before Friends. I don't know...but I think Angelina and Brad should not do movies together. It hurts my feelings.

Jacq,

You're so cute! Everything is hurting my feelings. I'm PMS girl this week! I'm not normally this emotional. Not now that I'm on Prozac! =)

I think I'm going through worse than the PMS thing sometimes, because my energy is sapped! (AT least I'm not my normal bitch girl during that time of the month! YIKES!!!)
