    SALT is ridiculously tasty!

    I had the chance to get out to a high end movie theater in Hollywood the other day (Arclight Theaters) to see the movie SALT. First I just want to say I am a huge Jolie fan, and can watch that hot woman kicking butt all day long. This movie is suspenseful, smart, witty, well paced, full of adrenalin, has so many curves and u-turns it resembles Mulholland Drive. Tom Cruise was a fool to walk away from this part, it would have suited him well. However, Angelina steps in, and just plain kicks ass from the start to the finish. This movie is never bogged down by insignificant details, but it does not feel glossed over either. Chiwetel Ejiofor is another of my favorite actors, and he plays his role to the hilt. This guy has talent coming out his pores, and has never IMO turned in a bad performance, even if the movie is a little over the line (think 2012).

    Now I know more than half the action in this movie is impossible to do in real life, but I didn't care one bit. Just seeing Jolie sticking to the side of a truck after leaping off an overpass was more than enough to make me emotionally erect! This chick is tough as nails in this role, and she makes her performance in Tomb Raider look like a kids party. Watching this movie with a 4K projector and one of the finest sound systems in Hollywood was a real treat.

    If you have a chance, check this movie out. You won't be disappointed(at least I wasn't).

    Do you still think she is hot without makeup or when the pics are not photoshopped?

    Two completely different looks for sure.

    I have seen her live without make up and still thought she was hot. You are right though, it is two different looks.

    Let me get this straight. The lead character was supposed to be male and they switched it to female? Now that's very cool.

    Would the story have been different with a male lead?

    From what I have heard, they made some small changes, but this is pretty close to the movie the Director wanted to make with a male character. I think Angelina can pretty much do anything a man can do except......well you know.

    Piss in a tin cup from 10 feet away? I don't know. I think she can pull it off.

    I greatly enjoyed this movie as well - it was a lot of fun and Jolie was quite good. We all tend to put stars up on pedestals - but you know Jolie is probably worth it. LOL.

    Of course I'll take Brad Pitt's leftover - I don't mind settling

    Maybe Sir T will hook you up. But first you'll have to write, "SS sounds better than tubes" 50 times.

    actually, a role written for Tom Cruise would prolly translate rather easily to an actress

    and Hyfi... why are you looking at her face?

    I have actually seen some of those photos where the person has no idea and it showed saggy wrinkled ass.

    They all look good in a movie but in real life photos, her and her huge ass lips do nothing for me. But that's just me, I know most guys salivate over her and a few others that don't do it for me.

    Only when she scratches at her crotch, spits, and is singing the National Anthem.

    FWIW Jennifer Aniston is more my type in the looks department over Jolie. But then I like Uma Thurman and some guys think she's a horse.

    The French actress in Inception Marion Cotillard - now she is my speed. Rachel Weisz is also a stunner to me.

    Different strokes.....

    Aniston does nothing for me but Uma has something for a big girl. Check out an old movie call Even Cowgirls Get The Blues. Hilarious flick about a cowgirl lesbian with overly large thumbs that the rest of the girls find fun.

    I like a few of the younger girls in the business right now like Ellen Page and Mia Wasikowska from the new Alice in Wonderland.

    So I thought about renting a copy of this just to see what all the emotional erections were about.

    Then I started reading through the comments about the movie here:
    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0944835/usercomments

    They sure do differ from what you thought but if there is nothing better in the redbox, I may give a try.

    Sir T

    Does MPSE stand for Motion Picture Sound Engineer? What have you done? Or are you allowed to say? I suppose you can say since you'd be listed int he credits.

    That sounds like a lot of fun. If a film you do wins an oscar do you get to go? I know they have an oscars for the technical side of it on another day.
