Career Killer


This looks worse than Swept Away. Forget razzies, I think we may be looking at a "worst movie ever made" candidate as well as the end of Angie's directing career. Sad really.

Seems far too early to predict that, no critical reviews or audience reviews. Also, she has a directing project with netflix already signed. She will direct again, whether this is great or terrible or meh.

By the Sea is a 10 million dollar side project for Jolie and Pitt. Even if it sucks it will be quickly forgotten and probably not lose any money.

I highly doubt it. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's combined net worth is almost half a billion dollars. This could be worse than Baby Geniuses 2 and they'd still be rich enough to start their own company (if haven't already) and make whatever films they want.

Drat. I really envy those who can afford to buy a crystal ball. It's just not fair to the rest of us.

Nah. From the reviews, it a total fiasco, but people will just write it off as Jolie having a fling at being a Trauffaut/Bergman style director, failing badly,and will go back to more commerical projects.

It'll be just like that other Jolie movie nobody watched, except this time she wrote the screenplay too, so it is bound to become terrible. Jolie can't act and neither can she direct, but she is lucky enought to be rich enough to hire people, who can. Unfortunately she didn't. So this is going to be funny. I expect it to be completely contrived. I have nothing to base that upon, except the trailer, which had me unmoved, disinterested and bored. I don't know who Joie is imitating in her acting, perhaps she watched a bit too much Nouvelle Vague cinema.

This trailer actually made me laugh. Should it end her directing carreer it's not sad at all. Jolie got rich for her tits+ass not for her acting or directing, so let's not pretend we have a directing genious on our hands here, who was misunderstood throughout her life. She deserves to fail and be put in her right place. I've seen student film shot in the same location that had more appeal.

Couples should never be in a movie or series together. Almost never works. Especially not in serious movies. Also do we really need a movie about an over-privileged, beautiful couple with so called "heavy" problems? Boohoo...normal people go through these problems every day but without a big bank account and without looking stunningly beautiful. Let's make a movie about them....much more interesting.

Even if it tanks at the BO it will more than make a profit on home video sales. There's a lot of people who would pay for a disc to see AJ and ML in the nude multiple times.

reply

If they let Eli Roth and Uwe Boll to keep making bad movies, they will allow Jolie.

On what evidence do you base your opinion? A 2 minute trailer of a 2 hour film?

But I don't disagree.

What about Nic Cage? I always stated he had two careers. Before Gone in 60 seconds and after. Before, he had some really good films and very few bad. Complete opposite after Gone in 60 seconds.
