I am satisfied this is getting bad reviews


That is all.

reply

I don't care what reviews say, what the IMDB rating says, but everything about this film just screams 'vanity project'.

I won't see it because I have no interest in it.

But what I won't do is be 'happy' about it's failure.




Never defend crap with 'It's just a movie'

The Robbmonster, content in knowing he is above feeling any joy from the failure of an admitted "vanity project" from a pretentious "director"

reply

I think he just going around and post negative comments to every movie and then that is all he does.

reply

Another as*hat who has nothing to do with his own issues that they have to go on the internet to troll comment sections. Oh the book I am writing about you poor people.

reply

The cinematograhy, the photography, the staging, the direction, the acting... all that is good. But the script is just bland, dull, slow and unimaginative.

I liked "Unbroken", but this is a clear step back from Jolie as a director, since her script was sluggish.

I gave it a 3 out 10.

reply

Agreed....:)

I enjoyed these aspects but it was too slow and dull. I didnt enjoy it.

My favourite film by BP is Kalifornia

It makes me wonder what kind of people are you that cannot see what Angelina Jolie Pitt was trying to do with this film.

Please, just stay away from films that require more than a modicum of intelligence to understand. Stick to your Max Max, Boom Boom movies where something blows up every 2 minutes. You will never like what you do NOT have the mental capacity to UNDERSTAND.

reply

Good grief, yet another Jolie obsessed fan who knows better than anyone else that Jolie is the all time, best gosh darn actress/director/writer in the history of the whole great big universe. People like you have no business discussing things like mental capacity.

reply

Oh no, a HEN. The dumbest animal ever created.

I am NOT "Jolie obsessed". I love the film, there are many films I love, but they have no explosions, no fast car chases, no shooting everything that moves. I love films that require you to THINK, to use your brain, even though most of the films I love are not "popular" films, no comic book characters, nothing from outer space, just good story telling.

I see you as a Marvel cartoon character type fan.

Don't pester me with your ignorant ramblings.

reply

And I'm not a "HEN". I happen to think she's a good actress, but I also believe she's somewhat overrated, OK?

She gets lots of media attention for her humanitarian work and she very well deserves that media attention. I am second to none in admiring her work and efforts in that area. However, that does not mean she excels in all areas, and in my honest opinion she doesn't.

However, you are indeed "Jolie obsessed". She's not just a good actor to you, she's a superb actor, a superb writer, a superb director. In short, folks like you consider her absolutely superb at everything.

Don't get me wrong, it's completely your right to feel that way, but not everyone does. However, when you attack anyone who doesn't share your opinion, anyone who offers any criticism of Jolie (even if it's valid or at least a valid opinion) all you do is demonstrate your own immaturity and intolerance.

This is a discussion board - not a Jolie fan site board - OK?

My reply to you, the person pretending to be a "fan" of Angelina Jolie Pitt.




If I say I like her film I'm "obsessed", if you say the film is terrible, you are a "fan". Strange how that doesn't sound quite right.

I think Angie wrote the best film she's written, better than ITLOBAH. It was Brad's best performance ever, many critics agreed with that. I really think you are a wolf in sheep's clothing. A fake fan who wants to tell everyone while being a fan of hers, you hate everything she's ever done, and she's "overrated".


Just to let you know I saw your posts on BTS being an art house film, all 20 of them. OBSESSED, yes, that qualifies as OBSESSED. 😀

So YOU hated Maleficent, Unbroken, and now By the Sea, I think we have a pattern here. You say the same thing to everyone who doesn't agree with you. You need to STFU and STHD, Bytch.

reply

No, I said I wasn't a "HEN" (your terminology) - I never claimed to be a fan, nor do I consider myself one. I can think someone's a good actor without being a fan.

I still think she's a good actor, and I still feel her work as a director is overrated by hers fans. I didn't say she's a bad director, I just don't think she's an exceptionally good one either.

I consider her a somewhat mediocre director, and so do many critics. She may well become a very good director as she gains more experience, time will tell.

I make no denial or secret of my negative view of "By The Sea". I don't think it's a good movie. That's my opinion, OK? I'd feel the same way if Jolie had nothing to do with the film.

Let me ask you: If Jolie had nothing to do with the film, would you even know it existed?

I can respect the opinions of others if they respect mine, and I can discuss them in a mature manner. However, if some starts hurling childish or snide insults, that's another matter completely.

I will say this, I've criticized Jolie's work as a director, and sometimes I've criticized Jolie herself, but I've never referred to her as:

a "failed actress"
a loser
a "fattened tick"
fat A$$
"retarded"
dumber than a truckload of rocks
a "pig from hell"

You, however, have used all the above terms in your hateful, childish postings on the Jennifer Aniston board. You're quite the little hypocrite, aren't you?

And no, I'm not particularly a fan of Aniston's either, but I find your trolling behavior on her board verifies my opinion of your immaturity, OK?

Grow up little girl.

reply

Your go to replies when people disagree with you, "grow up", "immature", "ignorant", "uneducated".

YOU are the crazy assed, uneducated, immature , (though obviously very OLD) TROLL. You have an outrageous number of posts commenting how you disliked Maleficent, Unbroken, and By the Sea, basically anything associated with Angelina Jolie Pitt.

You insult everyone, you call everyone that disagrees with you names, like a senior citizen on a playground.

As for Aniston she IS a "failed actress". She is the box office queen of FLOPS.
She was dubbed a "fattened Tick" by a Canadian reporter who interviewed her.
Aniston herself has gone on national TV and called some people "retarded", and never apologized for her insult.
Dumber than a truckload of rocks, that is what Aniston is, and you are too.
Fat Ass, well we've all seen her oversized ass, that is a no brainer.
Pig from hell, if the shoe fits, and it seems a perfect fit for Aniston and YOU, too.

If you are or aren't a hen, I do not care. You are a BULLY, I despise bullies.
You are also a LIAR, saying you are an Angelina fan, just admit you do not like her, hates everything she does, no one is forcing you to LIE, you are entitled to your opinion, but at least be honest and admit you do not like her, it's not going to hurt anyone's feelings.
You diss NOTHING in a mature manner, even though you are obviously very "mature", age wise.

Would I still see By the Sea if Angie wasn't associated with it, YES, I love art films and indie films. and this qualifies as both.

Stick to Ronald Reagan and Kelly Clarkson. 

reply

By all means please feel free to read all my postings on the Maleficent board. I challenge you to find one posting, just one, where I criticize Jolie. In fact, I doubt that I even mention her at all. My negative commentary on Maleficent concerns the movie's screenplay and how it did a wretched job of reimagining the storyline of the original Disney animated feature. In addition, my views are shared by several other posters on that board as well as many movie critics. So, if this is presented by you as proof I hate Jolie, well sweetie, all you have is a swing and a miss.

My criticism of Unbroken concerns only her skills as a director, nothing else. I openly stated she did a decent job of directing, but nothing outstanding or superb, nothing Oscar worthy. If that offends you, so be it. As with By The Sea, my opinion here is shared by numerous other posters and several movie critics. So tell me, does that make us all Jolie haters or merely people who don't share your high and mighty opinions?

I don't insult anyone who wants to discuss things on a mature level. You obviously need to learn that respect is a two way street.

Most amusingly, you then proceed to defend your self-righteous, wretched, unkind, childish assault on Aniston as if it's somehow valid. What a miserable little witch you are.

You call me a liar, claiming I said I was a Jolie fan. You need to read my post again because I never said any such thing. I said I considered Jolie a good actress but I was NOT a fan of hers (or of Aniston either). So tell me, are you a liar or just illiterate?

I can only offer the same advice as before: grow up little girl.

reply

goldie78.............Can you not post something that doesnt insult people, there is no need.We are all here to learn and share thoughts. Be nice to people and you will get more in return.

I love drama's,I dont watch films with explosions and CGI if I can help it

I just didnt think this was a great film, my favorite films are deep (no action), whilst I enjoyed aspects of this film, I didnt think it held up to its promise, great acting made it watchable, but it seemed to be searching for substance, it was poingnat and thoughtful but poor compared to other films of such subjects, eg Deep Blue Sea starring Rachel Wiesz is much better. IMO anyway.

The OP is very creepy. What a sad life he leads.
