Love Angelina Jolie’s movies? Of course not. Why, exactly, is Angelina Jolie so famous?

In today’s column I ask the most pressing issue of our time: why, exactly, is Angelina Jolie so famous? https://t.co/0QF0W3WIVr

The Guardian says it’s been years since Angelina was in a film worth watching, but she has made being a celebrity its own art form

Nobody in any movie directed by Clint Eastwood is good.

doesn't he do just, like, one take and move on? lol. in that case, the actors shouldn't be faulted for that!

[skekzok]

Yeah I'm not blaming the actors. His casting is good but I don't think he's a good director.

Jolie is largely famous for her personal life

They answered their own question.

He's a much better actor and I feel like in this post that's somehow misogynistic or discounting his bad qualities as a human. He's legitimately talented.

If anything, the triangle forced him into this leading man persona which really isn't right for him. As the saying goes, he's a character actor in a hot body. Once he took a backseat again to more character drive roles, i think his talent has show nagain.

Obviously hes not a great person but i think the triangle affected their careers differently and a lot of that is Hollywood misogny but a lot of it is also that Brad is legit talented.

He’s a horrible human and I hope he drops dead BUT he’s not a bad actor. Like I don’t think Angie is a good actress and Jen is a good comedic actress but out of the three of them brad is by far the best actor. At the beginning that wasn’t recognised because everyone focused on his looks and then the triangle but I remember watching ad Astra and thinking to myself... fuck. He’s not even bad.

Seriously.. The Tourist was so mehhh

Actually most of her resumé is crap 😂 she’s had just a few good movies in her whole career
