Shit from shinola
"Intelligencer" reporter Bennett Marcus writes that when a "perky" MTV producer asked Jesse James producer-star Brad Pitt what he'd learned from doing the film. "I didn't learn shit, really," Pitt replied. If only others would answer inane red-carpet questions in a similar fashion.
I'm thinking of a scene in Michael Ritchie's The Candidate between Robert Redford's "Bill McKay" and Kenneth Tobey's labor union leader. Tobey: "Well, no point in our getting into our differences. When you get right down to it we may actually find we have a lot in common." Redford: "Yeah? I don't think we have shit in common."

PERKY PRODUCER: Oh. Well, what was it like working with Casey Affleck?
PITT: It sucked. He's a douchebag.
PERKY PRODUCER: Oh. Well, what's your favorite Western?
PITT: I don't have a favorite Western. I hate Westerns. They bore the shit out of me.
PERKY PRODUCER: Oh. Well, you must be proud of the reviews the movie is getting.
PITT: Who cares. I already got paid.
PERKY PRODUCER: Oh. Well, you're wife certainly looks beautiful tonight.
PITT: She's a lunatic. And she's not aging well. I think I made a mistake. Have you seen those pictures of Aniston in a bikini?
PERKY PRODUCER: Um, I think so.
PITT: Her ass looks great.
PERKY PRODUCER: She takes care of herself very well.
PITT: You don't.

Is there a better movie about American politics than "The Canidate"? I don't think so.

Nice response, I hate those inane questions that try to lead the actor/actress into some artsy response where they connect the film to their life. I've come to realize that I don't despise the actors who go on and on and on in that pretentious way, so much as I despise the people who encourage that kind of crap.
