Did he do something? I mean in snatch and fight Club he's an absolute snack
Forgetting all about Thirteen Monkeys.
Right? What’d he do? I think his acting has improved with age rather than relying only on his pretty-boy good looks from his earlier films like River or Joe Black.
Edit: I found some issues with his family and divorce, looks like he was a drunk asshole a couple years ago.
I watched it recently. Pretty good. The most interesting part is that they had Brad drive a real F1 car to get the feel of it. There's a youtube video. That's a pretty incredible life experience that he found a cheat code for.
Let they who have never watched a bad movie just to stare at a hot character cast the first stone.
I haven't, but I watch bad movies to giggle at how stupid the plot/story/acting/SFX is. The fact that they have hot people playing characters is just gravy.
I definitely haven't. And I swear Operation Swordfish was good even without Halle Berry topless.
I honestly can't think of one.
Oh... so, you're a liar AND a whore!?
Mine is UHF, starring Weird Al Yankovic.
The only F1 I'm really familiar with brings up a help window most of the time but if nobody referred to his team of mechanics as the Pitt crew, that's a golden opportunity missed.
Every time he stops, he makes a Pitt stop
All of his maneuvers are Pitt maneuvers and if one turns out poorly, he's been hoisted by his own Pitt-ard.
That damn movie is marketed so heavily around brad pitt though.
When i saw its listing om amazon prime I thought it was called "Brad Pitt: The Movie" and I was baffled.
Interestingly enough, the reason Brad Pitt is advertised so heavily is the reason I still haven't watched it.
Don't get me wrong, I think he's an excellent actor and I enjoy seeing him on screen. I just don't understand why an F1 movie needed Brad Pitt. I'm here to watch race cars, not some famous actor behind the wheel!
If they cast an unknown in the lead, I'd be more intrigued because I'm interested in Formula 1 racing. But putting a famous guy in the lead makes me feel like this is gonna be some dramatic feel-good fantasy story, not something more grounded in reality.
And yes, I know this movie is just a giant advertisement for Formula 1. But that's a real motorsport race, so I'd be more invested if the movie felt like watching a real person's story, not an actor telling a fictional story in the setting of F1 racing.
Just to let you know, while the whole movie revolves around his character by design, it is a pretty solid movie.
To the movie’s credit, it does shine a light on how old Pitt is compared to everyone else.
It also had a lot of great cinematography and a pretty solid modern take on Grand Prix (1966). The best racing movie of all time (maybe tied with Le Mans, but that came out 5 years later).
I don't usually look for racing movies, but I certainly enjoy them when I watch them (I only recently got around to Days of Thunder). I'll have to check both of those out, thanks.
Completely the same thoughts that I have. I'm very curioous as to what the story could be that gives them credence to call it "THE F1 movie"
Working title that they forgot to change until too late in the production.
Seriously? I wouldn't even doubt it if it were true
Nothing wrong with that.
