"I'm probably 20 percent atheist and 80 percent agnostic."-- Brad Pitt, the adulterously unethical NewAge idiot of Hollywood - yea: the guy who cheated on his wife, reads Ken Wilber's cult writings, and once proclaimed "Religion works!" - keeping his reputation for clear-thinking and intelligence intact, in The Daily News.
That may be true, but Stupid sure is rich and gets lots of hot chicks.

I'd say it's more what "smug" looks like. It's even more sad to see someone with a degree of innate intelligence succumb to smugness.
ReplyDeleteI also, am 100% sure that Brad Pitt is an idiot - he's a brainwashed follower of adulterous cult-leader Ayn Rand:

It was the evening of May 13, 2004, and on PBS-TV’s Charlie Rose Show the host was chatting with actor Brad Pitt about Troy, his new movie.
“As he has done on other occasions, Pitt talked glowingly of the science and aesthetics of architecture,” reports scholar Chris Matthew Sciabarra. “Rose asked him if he knew of any way to combine his passion for architecture with his passion for acting; he wondered if there was any ‘story of a great architect’ that might inspire Pitt.
“‘That would go back to The Fountainhead,’ Pitt replied. Rose wondered if Pitt would even consider re-making it. Pitt said that the book is ‘so dense and complex, it would have to be a six-hour movie…I don’t know how you do it under four, and not lose, really lose, what Ayn Rand was after.’ But he affirmed his profound interest to star in a re-make, and cited Oliver Stone’s own interest in directing it as a feature film.”
Brad Pitt —arguably Hollywood’s biggest star—playing Howard Roark?
Oliver Stone —unquestionably Hollywood’s farthest-left director—remaking an Ayn Rand film?
It gets weirder.
On October 3 of the same year, Pitt’s soon-to-be girlfriend, Angelina Jolie, appeared on Topic A, a now-defunct CNBC show hosted by Tina Brown. Brown asked Jolie what she’d been reading lately.
“What am I reading? I’ve been very into Ayn Rand, so I’ve read The Fountainhead and then Atlas Shrugged,” Jolie replied. “I just think she has a very interesting philosophy.” She added: “You re-evaluate your own life and what’s important to you...."
Anonymous (and, as you should know, I hate that name),
ReplyDeleteIf being rich and getting "hot chicks" (I don't consider AJ to be one) is your standard, then, you're setting the bar pretty low for yourself. And, considering the state of women these days, there are too many idiots that can fit that description to mention.
Brandon,
Well, at least, we can finally agree on something (Not on the worth of an apology, though?). I think it's funny that I discovered Pitt's Ken Wilber connection from an article where he and his ex, Jennifer Aniston, talked about lying in bed and reading his shit (emphasis on the word "shit") and, now, he and Jolie appear to be doing the same thing. Could it be this dullest-of-the-dull NewAge knives considers himself (gasp!) an intellectual?
Just the thought of it is too-fucking-funny.
