That about sums it up.<BR/><BR/>Except that I think Brad is a dolt...but maybe that's just my latent aggression against Angelina!Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14836884075239814722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12780015.post-1138416613092855092006-01-27T18:50:00.000-08:002006-01-27T18:50:00.000-08:00Oh, oh, I have an answer! I think it's like this:...Oh, oh, I have an answer! I think it's like this:<BR/><BR/>Brad is an ideal kind of guy; in the movies, that is. He can play Mr. Sensitivity, the Bad-Boy-with-the-Sweet-Interior and Ultra-Sweet Exterior, Muscle Man, Hero, Comic, whatever, and women, whether they want to or not, love him. I try really hard not to have crushes on movie stars, but I cannot deny his appeal. So . . . who did he pick to marry? Jen, the funny, silly, kinda clumsy, imperfect girl-next-door. How many chick flick movies has Jen done? Oodles. And so, the Great American Female Psyche says, we love Jen, Brad loves Jen, Jen is like us, therefore, a BRAD COULD LOVE US! All is right with the world, there is hope.<BR/><BR/>But then, enter Angelina. How many chick flick movies has she done? Zip. Angelina is an actress for guys--she's Laura Croft, she's a Barbie Doll, she weilds a gun and a knife and has legs up to here, oh, and she's smart, tough, a little dangerous, but still somehow maternal in an Oedipal kind of way (baby number three coming). We, the Greater American Female Psyche, don't like this. We cannot be Angelina. We don't even want to be, except there's this problem of Brad . . . This is a threat to us--and therefore, fascinating. What DOES Brad WANT? And how can we become it?<BR/><BR/>And to think, I developed this brilliant theory entirely while standing in checkout lines at the grocery store.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12780015.post-1138235613794347692006-01-25T16:33:00.000-08:002006-01-25T16:33:00.000-08:00We're a nation of voyeurs.We're a nation of voyeurs.Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14836884075239814722noreply@blogger.com
